| Take a chord like a Ma7, a diminished chord, and the major scale for the Ma7 chord. Play the Ma7 with the root on top string. Now move next note of the major scale and play a diminished chord with that note on top. Move to next note in the scale which should be the Ma7 with it's 3rd on top. See the pattern, when a chord tone on top play the chord or the appropriate inversion. For non-chord tones play a diminished chord. Then make up a simple line/lick and use that process to turn it into a chord riff.

| ??? By "top" string do you mean bass or treble? I was thinking of something like this: GMaj7: 3x443x G#dim7: 4x343x Amin7: 5x555x A#dim7: 6x565x GMaj7: 7x577x |

You can apply where ever your want I try to use it for chord riff's so I view it from high-E or B-string aspect. Now if I was doing a Freddie Greene rhythm sort of thing thing I would be viewing from the low-E and A-string aspect. So all depends on the context being used in.
