This should be a great thread....I would love to hear from LGM about their personal favorite licks and runs.  As a beginner that would help me spice up my playin .... ;D

I know this isnt a gospel song but the lick Im trying to learn right now is Robert Randolp's "I need More Love". The bassline is sick!! They performed at Austin City Limits last week and the bassist slapped and popped the whole song.

As far as gospel:::

I don't have much of anything in my arsenal...

But my hands/muscle memory loves to minor pentatonic pattern; that's pretty much what I have...  :-\

I don't really have a favorite.  I try not repeat myself as much as possible and try new things when I have the opportunity.  I am using a lot of quick legatto type runs in my solo's at the moment and I am experimenting a lot with Octatonic and Enigmatic scales, tight arpeggio's...I'm working myself pretty hard at the moment!  I have stopped using my 5-strings for 12 months, so I am trying to isolate a lot of playing into a small space on the fingerboard, but also trying to maximise as much as I posssibly can before ascending or descending along the neck.  Losing that extra low-B string makes you realise how much you take it for granted.  I am having a lot of fun right now!  It doesn't feel like I am going back to basics.  The best way I could describe it is in a pretty cool synapsis my Dad made when I talked to him about it.  He has three black belts in Karate and he said "You don't learn anything new to earn your next black belt...you do the exactly the same things as before, but better!".  That pretty much describes what I am trying to accomplish.

honestly 90% of the time I couldn't tell you what the lick I just played was 10 minutes after I play it.  I just play what I feel within a given set of notes (usually either the pentanic scale (major and minor) or the given mode that corresponds to the scale degree I want to go or get to.
