And in answer to Peter's question, yes, I do transcribe licks that I find interesting. I write them out. Then I figure out where they're coming from, that's the important part.

I mainly listen to and transcribe licks that negotiate certain progressions. V7-I's and III-VI7's in particular. When I learn how a certain player is negotiating those changes it gives me ideas and makes my vocabulary a little more fluent.
