I'd say, keep it simple and understated lots of space... notes don't matter as much as the rhythm.
D string: 9 11 12
G string: 9 10 12
B string: 9 11 12
Top E: 9 10 12

And follow viz's lead, and turn that into a metal jam.
Me I'd stick with what I know, and stay within my comfort zone.

When performing you need to be using aquired skills subconsciously - those are movements trained into the body - ears and hands in this case. When you're programming or acquiring skills you need to use the frontal lobe to monitor progress.
Where people freeze/choke it's because they're using their frontal lobes to perform a task consciously and failing - because that's how we train subconscious skills not how we recite them.
One way of using the brain to learn skills and one way of using the brain to apply skills.
An example: a sports psychologist gets baseball batters to call out the names of coloured cards while hitting a ball - no problem easy... now they're asked to call out if they're hitting the bat up or down to the ball ... big problems, they played like total amateurs - the frontal lobe starts interfering with the process. It's been shown many times over in sports and other fields - Pat Metheny says when he's playing he's a listener that means his body is doing what he knows and he's checking out the groove - he can't be doing that whilst doing the math so it's inate and being vaguely directed.
It can take 6 months to get all the ingredients learnt for a basic skill... so unless the Jazz Jam is quite a ways off, getting the OP to recognise bars 4 and 8 and the Bb chord and a diminished chord is going to cause rather massive interference unless he's really experienced in it. (IMO)
The recommendations are really useful as part of an ongoing commitment to expand repertoire but maybe not so useful for catching as catchers can" - that's about finding out what's familliar and how it can work in a new setting. (IMO).
Stuff like simply using arpeggiated chords in solos... (the basis for many Charlie Christian solos) OR the bebop scale (same as mixolydian with an extra note) the reason for that is it's an 8 note scale so it's easier to hit chord tones simply bimbling about in it.
Oh one thing... try and avoid bending a bit - it's known as a guitar players crutch

If it sounds drastically wrong, slide it up a fret.
Check out some Jazz Blues chord charts - it's more elaborate than I/ IV/ V.
Blues/Pentatonic shapes will serve you well UNTIL they start on ballads, these have to follow the changes as the tonal centre (or key) can wander all over the place.
Good luck !!!!!!!!!

keep it basic ..alternatively get a a few notes that fit what they are doing and repeat making some rhythmic Motif...or alternatively tell them to start playing in tune and iff they dont you will put your guitar away and go home.. and iff they start playing Giant steps or something get your jacket and go home..
