I'm sure you will get many different answers to this...
Here is mine:

For a solo track (especially guitars), I typically will generate 3, 4 or 5 right in a row once I have the RT selected. The program seems to work well that way - generating fairly different things if you do it right away (or it's the next thing you do).

I import those (all of them) into my DAW and check each one in the region where my solo is.
About half the time one of those comes pretty close to being what I want.
Most of the rest of the time, one of them gets most of it and comping in one of the others where it "misses" does the trick.
Sometimes, I have to poke around all of the tracks to find just the right phrase to comp into that spot that "missed".
Occasionally, nothing in that region works, so I have to find the right stuff in another area of the lead track (I generate an entire track - the full length of the song).
I will slide the whole track back - to the spot where the solo is to be and audition it. If it doesn't work, slide it a measure or two and try again.
It is REALLY important that you do this with "snap to grid" set or it will never sound right. A guitar solo RT that is slightly off timing ruins it.
In auditioning by the "slide method" you might find a whole section that works.
Or... find a phrase that works for the first measure (or 2) and make a cut there (in the rest of the full track) and start sliding that to find the next phrase. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat...

In producing over 200 songs, there has only ever been one or two times that I could not find or create what I think is a good sounding (believable) guitar solo...
