An unusual Pentatonic lick

by case211 (Jul 21, 2011)

Here's a bit of an original creation that I've been using for a while. Figured you guys might find a bit of use for this lick since it sounds so different from most sweeps in my opinion.
For this example we'll stick with the trusty key of E minor. This is a pentatonic lick, but probably not what you might expect.

e-------12h17p12------
B-----15--------15----
G---12------------12--
D-14----------------14
A---------------------
E---------------------


The fingering that I use(and what I found to work best) is as follows:
Legend- I-index M-middle R-ring P-pinky


e-------IhPpI--------
B-----R-------R------
G---I-----------I----
D-M---------------M--
A--------------------
E--------------------


This is an extremely versatile lick due to it using notes out of the pentatonic scale, so you can stick this in almost anywhere.
