Trying to find the best way to come up with fills and picking patterns, so far I have put a song in the amazing slow downer so I can loop a section and then just kind of jam over it with scale notes until I find something that I like. Do you have any other suggestions on working on something like this?

One good thing to do in this case is create a new thread for the song (or continue on your personal thread) with a link to the song where we can collab on it and I can suggest more.
