Hi jerry,
my solo is done, it's still wednesday, but probably not anymore when I'm done writing this post...
Here it is:

Ok, I liked the explanations on the Word file but I think you can do a better job with your recording.
I'm not sure about your timing with this take. Maybe it can be some latency problem with your gear. You know, you play and record something and when you play it from the beginning, your take is out of time with the backing. It happened to me in the past with some bad-old-integrated audio interfaces
Can you please write your licks using Guitar Pro, Tuxguitar, Power Tab or everything I can see?
In this way, it's not necessary to re-record your take. I need to understand the rhythm figures you want to use with your licks.
When you have some experience it's a good and funny game to play some notes before or after the beat, especially if you're playing with some other experienced musicians. For now, let's keep things simple
Next assignment!
Improvise using the B Phrygian scale.
The Phrygian mode, as you know, can sound good over the chord built on the 3rd degree of a major scale.
But... with the first backing you can experiment a little and you will hear how the minor 6th of B (G note) sound a little dissonant over the Bm7 chord. This backing is made to show you the modal sound of the chord+scale.
If you have a Bm7 chord in a tonal context, as example G7M | Am7 | Bm7 | D7, you can think "G Major scale" all the time or even a mode for each chord. But if you use a G over the Bm7 chord, this is usually a passing note.
On the second backing you can play with more freedom. Instead of Bm7, I used a Bsusb9 chord (Guitar Pro calls this B7sus4add9-) built from B-E-F#-A-C. E is the sus4, while C is the b9 or 9-. Please check the difference about the length of B7sus4add9- string and Bsusb9
This is a chord where the Phrygian scale can played without problems. If you can grab a keyboard or a piano I really suggest to you to experiment a little, playing triads and other more complex chords. It really helps to understand the harmony since you can "see" the notes with some order. Playing chords on guitar can be confusing sometimes because, as guitarists, we play some voicings which are comfortable over the neck, but it's pretty hard to understand what is going on at the beginning!
