Help me out here...

So I'm not that good when it comes to solos, technically, I'm okay, but theoretically. I can play pentatonics pretty well and can write some good heavy blues solos, but I'm getting into more ambient, progressive type music that still has a bit of a bluesy influence and can't do anything. I like Steffen Schackinger and his stuff, and was watching a Phil X video where he played a really nice solo, and was wondering how I could write stuff like this.

The solo starts at 1:50 ish: ( I believe this is pentatonic but what do I know? :P )

You probably need to learn your aeolian mode. In A minor it's A B C D E F G A. Use it in progressions like Am, F, G etc...
