Blues Lick Using
​The A minor Pentatonic Scale

Blues lick in A

This lick is being played on the 9 sec mark in the video. In the video I did not bend the string. Excuse me for that as I am using flatwound strings. It is too thick to bend! Any case, I slide it up 2 frets to get to the pitch.

Hope this mini lesson helps with your journey on learning blues guitar.
