Chords for 50 Jazz Guitar Licks You MUST Know - Lick #44: ii-V7 Bop Riffs - Frank Vignola

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Lick number 44 is a real cool one.
It starts with a nice legato line and then breaks into some eighth notes, a hybrid eighth note line using scales and an arpeggio.
Once again, practice with the slower track to get those eighth notes under your fingers, then move up to the fast track.
It also starts with a major seventh interval, which was very commonly used in [D] bebop style playing.
Check it out.
