Here's a lick that outlines the sound of the diminished half/whole tone scale.
The lick is built around the G half/whole tone scale over a G7 chord. This scale is great to underline some tensions of seventh chords: b9, #9 and #11.
Use the neck pickup and cut the high freqs with the tone knob if necessary.
I use the Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp on the clean channel connected directly to the sound card and I'm adding a little bit of reverb and compression in Pro Tools.

This a blues/rock lick. You can hear similar licks in albums by Joe Satriani, Kenny Wayne, Zakk Wylde etc. Play it with your heart!
We're playing in the F minor pentatonic scale + "blue" note.
I use the middle pickup of my Ibanez Rg7620 guitar. I set a Line 6 Pod X3 live, with a Twin reverb Preamp + Tubescreamer pedal.

Ascending lick that uses various picking techniques. It ends with a bent lick and a full A major chord.
Uses A major scale notes in third intervals alternating between high E and B strings.
I used a Gretsch Brian Setzer Nashville guitar straight into Amplitube 3 with Vintage Compressor, clean Fender Bassman, spring reverb, and a 410 cab with N87 mic.
