Scales and Arpeggios are not inspiring, and you can't immediately go from Arpeggios to Jazz Guitar solos. But this challenge might be a good way to try.
You probably know how it is to feel like you are always playing the same things and nothing sounds fresh. I think we all have that, and mostly we then go look for something completely new to work on.
Last time I felt like this I decided to challenge myself to take something really simple: a II V I and then 2 arpeggios, one for the II chord and one for the V chord, and then see how many licks I could make. That also gave me a chance to use some patterns and melodic ideas that I picked up from people like Jesse Van Ruller, Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Grant Green and a few tricks from Metal as well.
