Help with soloing.

Hello, I've been playing for about four years now and need help with soloing. For example in "All Blues" the chord progression moves so: E7, A7, E7, B7, C7, B7, E7. What I am I supposed to do to have my solo correspond and move with the chords? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Music Theory
Read about general music theory and improv. Also for an E major it would be E G# B D#, E7 would be E G# B D...For very basic solos just use different permutations of the exact pentatonic scale during that bar.
E7 would be E, F#, G#, B, C# so use different permutations of that as in E = 1, F# = 2, G# = 3, B = 5, C# = 6...1 2 3 5 or 5 3 1 2...

Solo Help
Thank you, I think I understand alot better now!
You just play the necessary scale and you want to mainly hit the core tones; the first, third, fifth, and seventh of the scale. So for an E major chord it would be E, G, B, D. Now for example and E7 would mean that you flat the seventh note so E, G, B, C#. Now when your looking at that chord progression you wanna look for common root tones that are present in both scales. To end and start the solo you should start on the root tone of each scale so; E on an E, A on an A and so on. So your progression would be E7= E, G, B, C# A7= A, C, E, F# E7= same as before E was the guide tone B7= B, D, F, G# C7= C, E, G, Bb B7= same as before E7= same as before, so look for common tones and youll have the guide tones to change from measure to measure well in the song.
