Play the melody. Then change it up. Play over the chords in rhythmic patterns. Try doing it in your head without playing. Whistle or sing. Oh yeah, try to edit. I know that most of my ideas range from bad to indifferent. Keep the ones you like and recycle them. Change them up. It never ends. Think of "primitive" players. A lot of them had a very small vocabulary. The good ones had a small vocabulary of seemingly simple things that were extremely good.

four holes. eight reeds. close your eyes and just play. solid bends and
some overblows will help greatly. your licks will come out of you. no need
to borrow others. minimalist = less is more. think less about riffs and
more about texture and color and attack of each not. amazing "riffs" are
already in your head my friend.
