First, don't try to impress your teacher.  Practice what you are taught at least 30 minutes each day.  Learn all the notes of the fretboard and how they interact (i.e., learn scales).  Practice with all different kinds of music because the skills in various genres can carry over into one another.

Can you spin the thing around your body while you play?

But seriously and you may not be at the stage where you can pull it off, but some original improv.  This is something you can't likely do through a tip.  It has to come from inside you.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
