Bending And Vibratos

Hey Ivan. I'm learning your Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonic Boxes lesson and you do a lot of slow, tasteful bends followed up with vibratos with the note still bent.
I have no trouble with bends, and I have no trouble with vibratos un unbent notes, but I can't seem to comine them both. Any tips?

I love the lesson BTW, it's your best in my opinion. Can't wait for the rest of the boxes.

Thanks,
Harrison

Pentatonic

Hey Ivan. I'm new here and thought I'd ask you seeing as you're the resident blues man ( I think ).
I'm trying to learn how to play the blues, and I know the basic chord progressions and scales, but what can I do to break out of the minor pentatonic scale? In your lessons, and other peoples' as well, you seem to always have a "fresh" sound, where as I find mine is a bit repetitive. I've read the Andrew Cockburn lesson on modes, so you can bring up those if they're relevant seeing as I now understand. Also, the lesson on different rythmic patterns was great.

Thanks,
Harrison.
