This is an exciting concept to utilize -- not just for this lick -- but in general utilizing polychords or chord pairs. In
this case, I am combining the B triad and the C triad. Together it sounds like approach notes. B-C, C#-D, F#-G
but played in a sequence it has a very cool and exotic sound and this technique can be used for lots of polychords or
chord pairs in addition to the B/C.


The B over C creates a CMaj7#9#11 chord but the line sounds great over plain CMaj7 or -- in the case of the
demo-- CMaj7#11. It also sounds good over other diatonic chords like Am7. Experiment and let me know what you
come up with!


Additionally, I am slurring everytime there are multiple notes on a string. This sounds great with overdrive and
is similar to things you hear Allan Holdsworth playing.
