I found it with the search. You're playing the lick about four times.

I think what it might be good for is as a gateway from minor to major. But I think it violates what seems to be the unwritten rule of licks that a lick needs to be a complete statement and resolve better than that does.

I'm still chewing on this. Any ideas on rules a lick should follow?
If the Beatles got hold of it, I guess they would make a decent song from it. They made some music that didn't seem to fit the normal conventions.

As for rules that a lick should follow, I would say the song should be listenable after playing it a few times. Repetitiveness makes music sound better. Of course there will be exceptions where a lick is so bad it will never sound good. Like some of the songs I have written :whistle:
