Thanks a lot for participating in my discussion and sharing your thoughts on the subject. It was quite interesting to read and full of great insights! It’s great to be part of a community of enthusiastic learners. 
I’ll try to mediate on that in my upcoming practice sessions
The Late Thread Blues (Version 2)
As discussed, I added a second chorus to the composition.
Thread - Call and response
Since you have been following the whole creative process, you might wonder what was the thread that I had in mind ? 
Justin says that threads are subtle and listeners won’t necessarily know what ideas we had in mind when making the solo, so I thought it could be useful to share it from a learning perspective.
I’ve heard many times about Call and Response, but had never used it in a conscious way.
Chorus 1
Idea 1 : The Opening Call
I was inspired by a lick I found really cool. This is a lick that will be important for the song.
I used this lick as a “Call” 2 times at the beginning of the song, with a small rhythmic variation. I changed the triplets to eight notes.
And the two responses are completely different.
Idea 2 : The Shared ending
Right after, the next bar answers back by locking into the exact same ending, tying the phrase together.
This is also a lick that will be important for the song as I will come back a few times to it in chorus 2.
Idea 3 : Switching things up
As Justin says in his videos, it’s usually time to switch things up after a call and response. So, the rest of the first chorus focuses on licks that sound pretty different, specifically designed to highlight the chord changes.
Chorus 2
Idea 4 : A New Call
Time for a new call lick! I hesitated between keeping the exact same one as in Idea 1, but I ultimately preferred introducing a fresh one. I played it twice, tweaking just the last note for a subtle variation.
The responses changed too.
Idea 5 : Repetition
I wanted to bring back some elements from chorus 1 so chorus 2 sounds like a continuation. So, I choose 1 response that I liked.
But, I wanted to do it in a subtle/elegant way, not like too obvious like copy and paste.
If you look carefully, the notes in green are the same, but played an octave higher. I changed the rhythm, played them one after the other instead of double stops so it doesn’ sound the same.
The notes in blues are also linked together in a similar way. I played with the octave too. And added some space by introducting a new lick (with the triplets) in-between.
However, it wasn’t 100 percent planned in advance. I was looking for a way to bring back some ideas from Chorus 1 without sounding repetitive, and stumbled upon it while trying some things out. It ended up sounding cool—more subtle and elegant than simply repeating the exact same thing.
From Chorus 1 :
From Chorus 2:
Ending
To wrap it all up, I wanted to highlight the chord changes one last time.
And finished the chorus by echoing the catchy intro lick (with a small variation) to bring the whole solo full circle.
Conclusion
It was not really easy to explain my thought process in words, but hopefully it can still be fun to read as a story for some ideas for your own thread challenge
Obviously, composing is exhausting, so I wouldn’t do it more than once a month. But I feel like having a common thread makes things more fun for me. It doesn’t feel like just throwing random licks together and calling it a day. I feel more creative this way, and having a unifying idea for the whole song makes more sense.
@Richard_close2u @Dave_Birnie Do you think this whole post makes sense in regards to the Thread lesson in Blues Immersion or I misunderstood something ? Though, I would like to get some feedback to avoid going on a wrong path. Pretty please 
You can follow theory (rules), trial error method, use things (licks) from others that work and from my experience, still you will end up with something that sounds forced/mechanical. I haven’t progress further from this stage - every once in a while I surprise myself with something that comes up and those moments give me hope that these things take time and everything will come in place with experience and hard work.
