Here is a solo I put together for the first solo of Mississippi Halfstep, to incorporate some Modal playing (dorian) with some Jerry-isms including some half-step motion, and an arpeggio for good measure!:

Here is a breakdown of the solo by section.
The Am walkdown is basically ascending triplets out of the C/Am shape using Dorian mode (that would be from Re to Re of G-Ionian) with a few extra halfsteps in there to get the Jerry feel.
The F to Dm section is ascending triplets out of the F/Dm shape also using the Dorian mode (Re to Re of C-Ionian). I slide up to the fret 12-14-ish area to get set for the B7>E7 section.
The B7 section is ascending halfstep motion from B to Eb, then I come down from a G note to set up the E7 descending arppegio.
The second half starts with the Am with the b5 toggle (a pretty standard Jerry-ism in minor key solos), The Octave below punch (Jerry hits a 5th below on the SYF version), which sets up getting to the F. The D7 plays out of what is basically an open C7 shape moved up two frets, and the final descending run in G is basically a lick from a family of licks I call "The Brown Eyed Girl" licks (Van Morrison), that are also used regularly by Jer.
