John Mclaughlin Jazz Acoustic Guitar Line

Hi Guys,

Just a quick iim7b5 V7+ IMaj7 guitar lick in the style of John McLaughlin.

This employs alternate picking starting on a downstroke:

The first bar moves between D dorian mode and F melodic minor scale.

The next bar employs tetrachords with Eb pentatonic, C minor pentatonic and Dorian b2/C melodic minor leaning for an altered sound. [This resolves the flattened third to a B natural in the last tetrachord].
