I love the flavor of the blues licks in the hot blues lesson - and Kris demopnstrates the ingredient of attitude in the blues by the way he plays the solo - I worked on all those licks and use them all in my solo practicing - love the SRV lick that starts with a slide and uses the e and b strings the best ...
Here is a question:
I see a lot of blues licks played that include an interval I don't know:
usually it seems like the 5th string is played and then something on the second string a couple frets up (maybe the tonic) I see guys slide into this interval lick a lot - and then sometimes make a descend with it - sometomes in a turnaround.... they sometimes play the 2nd string with a finger instead of the pick as they descend
I saw a lick like this explained n a ZZTop lesson - but it went so fast I couldn't figure it out. Saw it again in an SRV lesson - went way too fast though..
Can someone comment on that type of lick?
What interval is typically played in the blues with that fingering?
Is it part of a cliche lick ?
Is the descending run using that intrval a common thing blues players know?
maybe so eone could tab out an example....
I've played around in the box positions - but I'm just not sure what they are doing with that lick....
I know this is a vague question - but I'd love to add something in that fingering style to my repotoire of blues likck - particularly if it descends. THanks in advance for any comments.

. Bending is a very important ingredient in blues. it is quite important to do them the "right" way to get a more bluesy feel. But as Sanders said, watch videos on youtube or listen to blues music, and try to figure out how your favorite blues guitarist does it.
