A very common issue when practicing odd groupings like these is that players will actually miss the soul purpose behind them by not being completely locked in with the underlying rhythm (whatever it might be - backing track, rhythm guitar, drums, etc.) These licks are not intended for "floating" over beats, they are most effective when contrasting with other rhythms in such a way that you force your own new pulse.
So, I hope you had fun, and mostly I hope I've left you with a new method for possibly breathing life into some of those same ol' same ol' licks and scales that we all play way too much.
So until next time, cheers!
