My Top 10 Blues Licks

Hi!
I've put together a set of fast eight-note lines for a minor 2-5-1 progression in the key of E.
Admittedly, I took inspiration from the riff at the beginning of the song "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes.
The original chords for the song "Seven Nation Army" are Em, C, and B.
I decided to reharmonize it to Em6, F#m7(b5), and B7(alt), giving it a jazzier feel.
You can, of course, download the backing track for this. The file name is "Backing Track Jazz Nation Army.mp3."
Below, as usual, you'll find an analysis of my solo, which you can also download as a PDF file.
In the tablature, there's a notation for the right hand so that you can study how I play these jazz lines with my right hand. However, don't feel obligated to use my technique to play this solo. For instance, you can use alternate picking for most of these jazzy lines in the solo.
Feel free to ask me anything if you have any questions.

p = thumb
i = index
m = middle
a = ring
c = pinky/little finger
You can download the picture. The file name is "Progression.jpg."

The analysis is available for download as well. The file name is "Analysis.pdf."
