Given your stated age as a high school SOPHOMORE (note spelling) I would recommend the following:
Buy "Band in a Box."
Enter chord progressions for all the classic rock tunes, including that copy of "Disco Inferno" your parents have hidden in a back closet (it's back behind the leisure suit).
Play along, trying to emulate the rock bass lines.
Have fun, and see how well your ear (and improvisational skill) develops.
