If you don't want to take lessons (and even if you do), the best thing you can do is transcribe solos. Learn all of your basic scales in every key and transcribe solos from your favorite players. In addition to helping improve your vocabulary, it will improve your ears and help with your improvising skill down the road.

and what about finger speed...does this just come with time...

Mitch has got some great advice right there.
As for finger speed, just practice your sacles. Keep going up and down the scales, there are also ways to go three notes up back one, three up back one, etc. It's really hard to explain in words.
P.S. I am by no means a great (or even good anymore) guitar player. I just used to play in a band back in the day.
