    Licks eventually evolve into longer sections of space.... A 1 or 2 bar lick becomes 2 or 4, then 4 or 8 bars. Then it actually becomes how your going to approach actually playing the tune.

    It's like the Form basically stays the same, ( obviously intro, outros, interludes, vamp etc..) but just like Forms... licks become like a Forms.... you have preset plug and play licks that create improv when performing live. Just Like you can hear single note.... you can also hear licks and also hear different versions of those licks....
    Yep. This seems to be one of the hallmarks of "really knowing a tune" for me.

    Another for the Lick Compendium.

    I think this is a good sounding lick that can be very adaptable. With adjustment, I've played it over minor iiVI's and static chords.
