    Minor ii-V-I Lick #4
    Here we have another diminished pattern in the style of the great Johnny
    Smith that moves horizontally across the guitar neck.
    Note that the lick resolves late in bar 2 which is an effective soloing technique
    used by jazz musicians. Because of the 16th-notes used in this lick, it is more
    effective at slow to medium tempos.
    To use this lick at faster tempos use less notes and change the rhythms to
    eighth notes. Practice using this symmetrical diminished pattern across the
    guitar neck. Not only is it a great technique builder, but it is a solid piece of
    minor ii-V language.

    Minor ii-V-I Lick #5
    This final minor ii-V-I lick is a classic piece of jazz language. The lick and its
    many variations were commonly used by John Coltrane. This minor ii-V line
    uses the G half-whole diminished scale over both the ii and V chord before
    finally resolving to the 7
    th
    of the minor 7
    th
    chord in the last bar.
    There is also a repeated interval pattern in this lick that can be played on two
    adjacent strings and moved up and down the guitar neck. Practice using the
    half-whole diminished scale in minor ii-V-I situations and resolving it to the I
    chord.
