How about a "requiem boogie"?
Start on a, go up until you get to g, then come back down to c, following the pattern of notes in the first measure shown below. (Follow this pattern in each measure except the very last measure, where you follow it from a to e, break off and go back down to g and follow it up to c, then end on the tonic - the first note of the piece.) (Count each note as an eighth note or syncopate however you want:)
4/4 ll:a,c,d,e,g,e,d,c :II d,f,g,a,c,a,g,f l a,c,d,e,g,e,d,c l e,g,a,b,d,f,g,a l a,c,d,e,g,e,d,c l a ll
I hope this inspires some ideas. Best of luck:)

just play with the back track over and over until you hear something you like. you could even record yourself playing and then play it back. even if its just a little phrase, you can build onto it and turn it into a solo.... good luck
theres no real way to make a solo, just play what you feel and go from there
