How to get better at guitar

I am trying to become a better guitar solo-er and like just be able to throw together some cool chords and the higher strings and shit while improving
I like to play funk mostly which naturally kind of includes bluesy riffs with some other notes added in so I play the e minor pentatonic and add a couple notes off of it where it fits...but I'm just not good enough to throw together some bad ass shit on improve which is what Im aiming for
Is there a certain part of music theory that can help me. I feel like I need to know it all...like chord types changes of key within songs and how to recognize it...I just want to be a better improve/jam player
anyone got any suggestions on where I go from here? I'd appreciate it, thx.

Take Adderall and practice 
I've never played guitar, but I've seen my friends progress their playing during Adderall/Cocaine binges.

no do not learn the fucking caged method learn theory the right way.
play in time! use a metronome. start slow and build up. learn chords and scales. learn the notes on the guitar.

from my experience from 10+ years.. If a sound is intune with the rest of it.. use it!
thats my best/biggest advice I can give anyone
Edit:
Download a music program n record alittle. Thatll getcha your music theory.. more evolved as well!
have fun! its addicting!

I highly recommend this book. It teaches you technique, reading music, sight reading, scales, arpeggios all at the same time. Then you progress into learning simple but cool little songs. It gives you a great foundation regardless of what style of music you ultimately want to play.
