Really need to learn more licks...

Don't we all! Just like we all need to practice!

Something that has finally started to click for me is adding little variations to the licks that I do know. Things like emphasizing a different note than I normally would, changing the timing of some of the notes, playing the notes in a different order.

Honestly, repetition didn't really jump out at me. Over a 4 or 5 minute jam, it's really hard not to repeat yourself.
