Mixolydian Lick
This mixolydian lick repeats at three different octaves
down the neck. It uses some chromatic passing notes and plays
on the idea of running chromatically down towards the major
3rd note (G#) but then skipping it and then jumping back to it
after playing the minor 3rd note (G). |

Diminished Lick
This lick uses the symmetry (as mentioned earlier) of the
diminished scale to its advantage to repeat all the way up the
neck. |

Pentatonic Lick
This lick utilises the pentatonic scale at the 12th fret.
The lick sounds best played with the fingers as opposed to
using a pick, as there is a lot of jumping of notes between
strings. This lick sounds nice played over a CMaj7 chord as
the lick contains the M3rd, 5th, 6th, M7th and 9th notes of
the C chord. |

Major7 Arpeggio Lick
This lick features the Major 7 arpeggio with chromatic
passing notes. Once again the pattern is repeated at 3
different octaves to enable movement up the neck. |
