Ok, so now that you know a little bit about the guitar, we can start looking at the pentatonic scale. The pentatonic scale is a blues scale that a lot of guitarists will use for soloing and riffs. Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), the solo for Jessica, much of Led Zeppelin, the list of music that uses this goes on and on. The pentatonic scale consists of five different notes going up the neck. The root note decides what key the scale is in, and we are going to try it in the key of A, so here goes:

E----------------------5-8---------------------------
B------------------5-8-------------------------------
G--------------5-7-----------------------------------
D----------5-7---------------------------------------
A------5-7-------------------------------------------
E--5-8-----------------------------------------------

Once you master this, you can add on a second part to it;

E----------8-10--------------------------------------
B-----8-10-------------------------------------------
G---9------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------

Try playing around with this and see what you can come up with. Enjoy!
