Basically an e minor scale but with the open strings, it rings out all cool like. Make sure you finger it so that each note rings out as long as it can. You can then take pieces of the lick and make cool clustery chords out of it, like so:

-0---------
-3--0------
-5--0---0--
----7---4--
--------7--
------------

Or make whatever chords out of it. Or don't play it at all!

I got a bunch more licks in all different styles if anyone cares.

Nice riffs proffessor. A fun one to pull off now and then is this one.

---------3/6--------------6/9---------
---2--5------8--5---5--8-----11-8---
-3-----------------6----------------9-
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

This is just an arpeggiation of a the diminished scale on B-flat (a bunch of minor 3rds). It falls easily under the fingers and can be transposed to any position. You start in 2nd position then slide up to 5th. You could continue going all the way up the neck.
