Daily Licking 016: Chromatic-y II-V

Here is another ii-v that has a lot of chromatic notes on the ii chord.

bass lick 4/4 tempo 140| Dm7 c+8 a a# b g g# a g | G7 f e d c b d f a | Cmaj g1 |

And here is what it sounds like against some basic shell voicings:

piano voicings tempo 140 4/4 | Dm7 | G7 | Cmaj7 | { | ( c1 d1 f1) | (b1 d1 g) | (b1 c1 e1) | } { | c8 a a# b g g# a g | f8 e8 d c b d f a | g1 | }

Remember to analyze these so you can build your own lines, it's not that tough once you get a few licks to base yours from. Get it? "Base" yours from, see what I did there.
