The lick is played over a C dominant 7th chord and the interesting point here is the way Scott
Henderson blend the Cm pentatonic scale & diminished arpeggios (C diminished arp / C half/whole
tone scale).
Playing the Cdim arpeggio over C7 is an easy way to add tensions and to slightly go outside since
we have Root / #9 / #4 / 6.
And the other interesting point is the string skipping pattern used to play this diminished arpeggio.
As always take the time to learn & analyse the lick, to transpose in other keys and/or elsewhere on
the neck until it becomes yours, until it becomes a part of your vocabulary : you are able to play
it on the fly (even just a portion), reuse it by changing the rhythm, play something different
before/after and so on !
