Random Cool Lick

[Maxxxwell]

I was must messing around with this last night. I'm not saying I "discovered" this or anything, I'm sure someone else has played it before. Sounds kind of like a video game lick...

Downpick the first note of each 3.

[S-H]

Lane used to play stuff like this live, but often diminished or augmented triads on 1 string. "Spaceship" playing is what he called it I think.

These licks sound very cool in amongst quality, thought-out phrases but too much of it sounds horrible and boring. Little and often should be the motto with licks like these.

Also, the faster the better. Your ear doesn't really recognise a particular colour (major or minor) when lines like this are played fast and perpetually.
