These 5 licks use only notes from the Minor Pentatonic, and incorporate string bending (the next lesson gives some more focus on that aspect). The TABs for the licks is found below the video! (yes, I finally got them done!)

These are five "words" that you should know and learn how to use. The later lessons will explain more on using them - for now just practice getting them good - getting the bends in tune and committing them to memory.
