@wertas Sorry for the late reply!!
Did you want help to transcribe that one lick, or did you want to find another open string licks to use over that chord in that key?
Kind regards/E

@emilernebro thanks for answer :)
I can't find any lick use at F# and Bm chords and my favourite Xadd9. Maybe you use open string lick at these chords and want to share this knowledge?

The F# major is not as easy to find open string ideas that work well since the open string are E A D G B E, which are notes outside of the F# chord tonality. But there are definitely ways to find good sounding lines over that chord when using the open strings as passing notes. The best thing is to experiment with it a lot and I'm sure you will find ideas that sound great! The B harmonic minor scale is a cool one to try out.

The Bm chord is easier to find open string ideas that will sound good. Try using the D major (or B minor, same notes) tonality and find descending and ascending lines.
I don't have a specific line to share that I can think of at the moment, but whenever I practice a specific tune or so, I find ideas myself by just experimenting!

Kind regards/E
