first off , Excellent 2nd i am going to hold your( feet to the fire) so to speak, I remember that you , in a earlier post refer to yourself as a trained monkey ( trained to play it, not able to write your own) I believe this is what you meant-----------so if I am right, I am encouraging you to now write your own solo to this backing and if I interpreted your meaning incorrectly , Don't I look foolish

Thanks Sinisa.
@jstcsrn & MonkeyDAthos, thank you so much for your words. I would really love to compose my own. Thats my ultimate goal. To be able to compose and produce instrumental songs probably earn a little part of living doing so (royalties?). What I suck at is playing faster licks. Whenever I try, I always have this 8th note pattern and it gets boring to me, can't imagine how the audience would feel. Heres one I tried ages ago.

no, you ain't getin out of this that easy That's what this site is all about(helpin each other) 1 st start with what you have learned then start tweaking his notes ,into your own choices(this will probably sound a lot like guthrie at first) then move into changing the pattern /note choices of the quicker runs( count the # of notes and come up with your notes same number) and replace this is a process of learning now when you get used to this now you can start trying to make it sound different then guthrie , thus becoming your own if your are able to send the backing I will try to give you an audio sample ,as I don't have video yet
asfor the fast runs_- I have seen your muris neo-clessical take look at this as a big math game,if you don't like math you might be in trouble take the very first count and put one note in it's place then take that same count and put 2 notes,then 3 notes , then four, then six note this is the first count ,not bar,and 6 notes in 1 count should be 16th triplets

one thing that really help me out in "improvisation/composing" was the though "less is more", you don't need to run with the metronome to create "masterpieces".
you can also do like Dream Theater and many many others, taking ideas from jammings, and building up to songs.
i really enjoeyd your playing on that video, it would suit for sure a dramatic scene/flashbacks/Ending!
