licks?
I can't even remember what I played yesterday.
but honestly usually I try to improvise but mostly fail trying to do something "new" since everything had been played somewhen somewhere before.
but as long as I try to let the music flow and try not to think about it even simple licks can touch the people.
it is not just about vocabulary, you don't even need a big one, but sensitivity, groove and expression.
the licks don't help if you don't know how to give notes air to breathe.
