Minor Licks
1) This is a typical Pat Metheny lick. Use it over Emin or Dmaj and make sure you get the picking right : down stroke for the beats and upstroke for the off beats
2) Hammer on galore.
Major Licks
3) This lick starts with some chromatic approaches and ends with a C major scale in thirds.
4) I like this one a lot. It's also in the C major scale.
Riffs
5) This is a montuno-like guitar lick that Pat Metheny plays on 'Phase Dance' from the album called 'Pat Metheny Group'. There's also a live version of 'Phase Dance' on the CD 'Travels'.
A montuno is a repeated syncopated vamp usually played by the piano in salsa music.
The Bm7 and Bbmaj7 can also be seen as D/B and Dmin/Bb. This is also what I think when I improvise over 'Phase Dance' : D major over the Bm7 and D miner over the Bbmaj7.
In the coda of 'Phase Dance' the montuno goes through a series of very interesting and beautiful modulations.

Various Licks
6) Metheny plays this famous guitar lick on the solo break of 'Third Wind' (roundabout 1.35), a Metheny composition from the album Still Life (Talking). There are a lot of transcriptions of this lick circulating on the internet, but I've never found a correct one.
The lick uses a lot of chromatic notes and pentatonic scales. It's a good Pat Metheny technique exercise.
7) The following lick comes from the start of Bright Size Life and is a great pick up line to start a solo. The lick is in the D major scale, starts on the third and follows the following pattern: up a fifth, down a second.
You can listen to the lick on this mp3 (not at the start, but after about 8 seconds):
