"This is an A minor pentatonic lick I'd like to show you next. What we're going to do is a chromatic walk down in between the B and the G strings and it's a nice little in between lick like you can throw before you hit your next phrase or back to your rhythm. To show you this one, what I'm going to do here, is go (demo). Breaking that down, starting on the ninth fret on the G, and then the B string staying on the 10th. It's almost like, basically, a pedal tone but using the Blues form and a chromatic passage in the pedal tone. So what I'm simply doing is (demo) and accenting certain notes with bends or vibrato. I'll show you what I'm doing, here, is (demo) a nice bend there, and then (demo) ending back on my A note. Up to speed is (demo). Ending on a nice vibrato."
