For me, once I get a drum beat and know what notes the guitarist is playing I just sorta noodle around on the scale or arpeggio until I get something that sounds good. Maybe I'll spend some time refining it on my own.

What about you guys? Is there a certain process you follow?

Same. Chord tones, pentatonic... Mix it up, see what happens.
