Ok, I've come up with a lick based around a four-string arpeggio, I'll try to transcribe it:
------------------------------7h9h12t14p12p9p7----------------------------------
-------------------------9--------------------------------9-------------------------------
---------------------9----------------------------------------9---------------------------
--------6h9h12------------------------------------------------12p9p6--------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the notes on the D string have a diminished tonality, but then there's a bit of E major too, then an F# at the top... what is it?
Can anyone help? Cheers.

G#-B-D (G#Diminished -R b3 - b5)
E-G#-B (E major R-3-5)
C#-E-F# (C#m R-b3-5)
E-C#-B probably just passing/filling notes.

I was just thinking out loud as to firstly what notes then what arpeggios were there.
I'm not saying my way is best, just my way of analysing what's happening where.

D natural is the minor/flat 7 of E, D# falls into E major.
Edit, didn't read Bucket's last comment properly.
Though all fall into Amajor/F#minor....

The flat 7 doesn't automatically make the chord dominant.
On the V (5) chord it makes it dominant.

Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
It's Bucket's lick though and from what I've seen he has pretty dexterous digits!
Thus being the V chord of the new key......

IE using a simple progression A-D-E transposing into G-C-D, the 4th of A (D) becomes the 5th of G (D).
The D isn't dominant in the A-D-E progression, but is in the G-C-D.

Using the flat7 hasn't made the chord dominant, you've just used the dominant shape.
I say again, a flat7 doesn't make the chord dominant.
Simple blues progression A7-D7-E7 all use the flat 7, only the E7 is dominant.

Can someone referee this.
@Clarky or @bigjon please.
