In motivic development research found that both Jim Hall and Peter Bernstein used various motivic development yet similar, differ from Bill Frisell whom uses in a more minimalistic approach. In melodic patterns, all the above guitarists used the same approach, for example, they used perfect fourth, chord tones, extensions, and chromatic notes, and they also used the main theme to develop their improvisation.

For Bill Frisell, he would use it in more various ways, by using blues, major and minor pentatonic, Peter Bernstein also uses blues scale for improvisation.
