Do you already know how to solo & are just trying to improve? Can you play single note lead lines? Have you learned any solos from songs as examples?

With all that in mind the admin suggestion to work through the Rock 1 course is the best comprehensive option. It will give you a structured curriculum to work though.

Are there any video lessons here that talk about what intervals are, what's their purpose, how to play them, and where to find them?

Intervals are the distances between notes. The purpose of studying & knowing about intervals is to identify the unique sound each of those distances. Once we learn, remember & know the sound of any given interval we can choose to play it when we desire that sound (or groups of sounds, scale, riff, lick, etc.)

If you are playing music, then you are already using intervals. Melodies (riffs, licks, melodies) consist of a series of intervals. Chords are groups of notes played at the same time, but all those notes in each chord are also some interval distance apart. Chords sound major or minor because of the intervals distances between the notes. So, even whole chord progressions (especially the bass motion) are ways of playing intervals.

This tutorial & the few that follow it are a basic music theory guide to what intervals are & how they are organized as the basic building blocks of music.

Work through those lessons & then continue on through the basic major & minor scale tutorials for a primer on intervals.

After that you will be ready for these tutorials on the basics of improvisation.
