Thank you all for the great advice. I will definitely start to bring outside resources into my guitar practice time now as it will teach me as well as inspire me to be more creative. Thanks for the suggested resources, as I will start there. I will post in the discussion board next week and let ya'll know how it is going.

@RGMachine, great advice both Neil and Wim suggested. I found myself in exactly your situation when I was in session 11. And, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, I found myself doing the same thing in the blues session (13) also! 😡 I forget what old blues guy it was but someone said, "There is nothing original. We all steal each others' licks." That wasn't an exact quote but you get the idea. There are a lot of resources available to study licks. I bought this from Steve some time ago: Ultimate Blues Learning Bundle. The lessons part was very good but the dvd of the 200 blues licks is really fun. If I recall correctly there are 5 different instructors showing all styles of licks you can play along with. I also went through a TrueFire course a while back. You are are also in the beginning stages of soloing and 30 Beginner Blues Licks You Must Know was perfect for where I was at the time. It is taught by Corey Congilio. Steve had Corey at his guitar Gathering a couple years ago. These both cost extra, of course. There are a lot of free sources out there as well, of varying quality unfortunately, such as on Youtube. But I think what Neil is saying is you are at the point to start bringing additional materials into your studies. And I think most of us have done that. And Wim is saying licks are the answer. And I agree with both of these.
