Hey & welcome to GT!

Billy gave you a great suggestion in following the Rock course. You'll learn about the scales & how to incorporate them into the larger context of an overall style of music. This is often a great place to start because you'll get a bunch of lessons that are designed to gradually build all aspects of your musicianship.
However, if your knowledge & skill level is already beyond that material & you are just looking to zero in on material that shows you how to connect scales across the fretboard, then try these tutorials aimed at visualizing major & minor scales across the entire fretboard.

Then you can do these exercises that show how to visualize & play major & minor scales linearly by shifting horizontally across the fretboard.

Finally you can put all that together by working through these tutorials on improvisation.

Minor Key Improv 2 is on the way!
Finally, work on learning guitar solos that do what you are trying to learn. We all learn by imitation & repetition. And learning a solo that you love the sound of is one of the best ways to learn the skill. You'll be able to play something you love, build skills, build your repertoire of songs & licks. And you'll hopefully learn something along the way about how a good solo is structured. GT has plenty of songs to pick from!

If Rock isn't your desired style, then I can point you to another style. Please ask more if necessary. Best of success!
