How to improve/solo better?

I’ve been playing for almost a year now. I’ve got my basic open chords down and can finally hit barre chords consistently. However, my main goal is to transition into playing lead and improvising solos.

I recently got a looper pedal, so I’ve been throwing down a quick chord progression and trying to solo over it, but honestly... it’s sounding pretty rough. I know I’m missing some foundational pieces here.

Based on the video, what do you think I should focus on next to get better? Scales, phrasing, technique? Open to any and all constructive criticism. Thanks!
