Blues Lick/Exercise Pentatonic Pivot video

Note: The tablature is at www.learnblueslicks.com Heres a combination lick/exercise in the minor pentatonic scale that emphasizes what I cal the Pivot. Basically, the pivot is when you play a note on one string, play the note directly beneath it, then back to the original note. You do this using the same finger. This technique is used by all blues players. Listen to Billy Gibbons in ZZ Tops classic Blue Jean Blues and youll hear this technique.
