Hi,
Here I am trying to folow David Barret advice to improvising, play lick and work whit it during the song. Is a great advice, it gives you a more structured sound.
Whato do you think?

Pretty doggone good... and that is a nice and disciplined way to practice and learn to work through a blues cycle...
For my ears, you could of stayed with your original lick ideas longer- you seemed to stray from the opening ideals fairly quickly causing the unity of the phrasing to become less logical and seem more noodley. I have the same issues and it really does take fighting that urge of wanting to play something different from the opening ideal to soon within the 12 bar cycle. We need to try and stay closer within the framework of our original lick that sets off the new 12 bars and that can be challenging to do correctly :)

Great opening lick. I'd say similar to Frank. Stick with that one, work out what makes it work. I think it may work across 12 bars as it is, or maybe you need to change one note to make it signify the chord change. Maybe give it a turnaround. Try transposing it into 3rd position and first position, or at least part of it. That lick could be an entire song if you mess with it systematically.

Nice job! I am also working with David Barrett's chorus forms, and it's amazing how prevalent they are in the blues songs we listen to.
I agree with SuperBee that the lick could be the entire song if you change the approach to it. Look at Big Walter's "Easy"; 4 of the 5 choruses are the same thing, just with different techniques (pick up in chorus 2, shakes in chorus 3).
