Heya!

A smooth D minor lick with ghost notes, a slight touch of blues vibe and hybrid octave picking.

Sound

Guitar: Modded US Strat, neck single pickup, tone knob rolled off.
String Gauge: 11-48
Amp: Amplitube 3 software, Fender silverface with spring reverb, and vintage compressor stomp.

Theory

This progression is a II-V-I in Dm and we play the D minor blue note as well. We start with the 7th position in an Em7b5 arpeggio. The rhythm is swing inspired most of the time.
