Heya!

Here's a blues lick in the style of Robben Ford, built with the G minor add 6th pentatonic scale.

Theory

The minor add 6th pentatonic scale is basically a minor pentatonic scale in wich we replace the b7 by the 6th. The result is a modern sounding scale and of course you could also add the major third and the blue note. Play the lick on the G7 chord (because of the major 3rd), but the minor add 6th pentatonic scale also works well on the IV7 chord !
