This lick is going to use the blues note. the flat 5 of the key.

The blues note is really started to add colour to our pentatonic lines however it needs to be treated correctly, but what do I mean by that?

Well, simply put, it sounds terrible by itself. Its dissonant! it needs to be treated as a passing tone, one that takes us somewhere and not one that we typically rest on.

Oc course rules can be broken, but thats another lesson by itself.

Here is a diagram of the E Blues Scale, with the “Blues” notes coloured in blue.
