Yeah, I just want to echo what AT is saying.
Think away from the guitar. Sing or hum the melody or a counter melody. Better yet, one way to get creative is to learn how to play the melody, then embellish it. One thing's for sure, learning to sing or hum the melody will be a baseline for you from which to be creative.
Or think of a counter melody, or just a theme. You can make your own series four or five notes and call that your baseline and take off from there.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
