I spend most of my "guitar time" improvising and i don't have any songwriting skills whatsoever.
At least I am relieved.

But please don't get me wrong 'cause I have nothing against improvisation (I want to improve my guitar-playing actually). If I do an improvisation today, for instance, what will be the chance that I will be playing the same notes again, for the same song the next time around? I am comparing this to the adlib / riff of a song which is already "fixed" by the original players.

My final point will be, shall I just learn the adlib / riff for that song or shall I do the improv?

Or thinking back again, I might have to do them one at a time?

I hope I am making sense here.
