Loading ...Blues Lick/Exercise – Pentatonic Pivot
Hey Blues Fans,
Here’s 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 Top’s classic “Blue Jean Blues” and you’ll hear this technique.
Once you’ve mastered this lick, try to come up with your own licks using this pivot move.
Have fun.
