It's good to know a little bit about scales and keys. Knowing modes can help you to solo in a more interesting manner, but once you learn these you should just learn improvisation. It's also a good idea to play other songs by other guitarists that you like so that you can emulate them in your solos after developing somewhat of a muscle memory attuned to your instrument.
