It is important to figure out the stuff other guitar players are doing. If you listen to records and transcribe the licks you like you can improve your vocabulary dramaticly - but most important is: Later on, try to make your own thing from the things you've learned.
This little funky rhythm guitar lick does not really show where it came from when you here it first because I've changed just a little bit in the rhythm and did another voicing at the end - but I guess that I would not came up with an idea like that without inspiring by the original.
And you can here the original at the end of this Video-Lesson....! You know that one...
