Answer:
Just mess around with scales, that's how I did it.
Answer:
That's not something that you can easily "show" or explain to someone how to do, IMHO. The best advice I can give you is to listen to music, copy (learn note for note) guitar licks, riffs, and solos. Start with easy stuff. Do that for hours on end. Daily. For a couple or few years.
Personally, I think its more about getting immersed and involved in music on a deep level than memorizing scales and such.
My 2 cents.
Answer:
Try learning stuff from Audio Adrenaline's ablum Bloom. The stuff on there was difficult, but not too hard. It had some pretty good solos every once in a while.
Answer:
Heya,
Learn the major and the minor scale. The REAL ones, not pentatonic major and minor. Pick a song, find the key it's in. If it's in A major, you can play the A major scale (OR the C# minor scale, same thing, practically) - figure out how to play the melody using the scale. This is very good practice. When you get comfortable with the scales, try creating harmonies and anything else you want.
That's my advice.

Answer:
blessedninja, do you have a link to a site that shows intervals fairly easily, that may help them
the key to improvising is having an understanding of the relationship between scales and chords. you need to not jsut know the fingerings for the scales but the notes your playing in them and then the notes that make up the chords to the progression.

This is a decent site that provides music theory in simple terms : Click me
Although the lessons are primarily directed towards piano the same theories apply to guitar.
Answer:
If you have a little money, buy Fretboard Logic SE and Part III. Those will help so much. If you can't figure out how to improvise with those books, just keep messing around with differents scales, and throw in some hammer-ons, bends, vibratos, pull-offs, whatever you can to make it more interesting.
Answer:

Answer:

It depends on what kind of music you play in your worship setting, and that can be pretty broad. But if you're serious enough to invest, you need to get a good delay pedal. Learn to play texture guitar.
Texture guitar will involve mainly a good clean sound (or a bluesy overdrive), a delay pedal, a volume pedal (ideal, but not absolutely necessary), and knowing your scales. Mainly the major and minor scales.
Learn all of the modes to the major and minor scales (there aren't that many, and they're not hard to learn), and work on combining them across the entire fretboard.
When you start making sonic sense with this, you can play texture.
