Last night I was fooling around with V to I licks in triplets. These work best if you use your right hand fingers or a hybrid thing with the pick and fingers.
The first lick is a descending diminished arpeggio played in triplets. The first three notes make a D7 chord and the next three notes make a G#7 chord shape. I stole these shapes from Redd Volkaert and Albert Lee respectively. These are two of my favorite 7th chord shapes and when combined they make a nifty diminished arpeggio. The funky part is how this dim. arp. sounds when played over a D7. Sounds a little baroque to me (but I don't think anyone will notice!)
The next lick is a straight up V-I using the second shape from the first lick. No big whoop but the first arpeggio is pretty flexible and can be moved around and grabbed pretty easily (well, if you're Albert Lee.)
The Third and last lick is a steel-like thing that uses a chord shape I got from Danny Gatton. It starts on a D6 and therefore gives you that steely C6 tuning sound. Nothing fancy here, just moving down the neck chromatically.
Below you will find a little video of the licks.
