Later in the song when you are kind of noodling is good example of when you could build on the motif, but you need more solid ideas to use! You are just wandering around the notes you know to use. You need to come up with solid melodic phrases that you are confident in playing for that section.

The last note is kind of little wonky. You are grabbing a note that works, but bending it up slightly so it's off pitch. So either don't bend that note at all, or go 2 frets lower & then bend up to that note as the target of the bend. Make sense?
