EXAMPLE4 Flat 5 passing note, psychedeli­c rock style

-

if you’ve never incorporat­ed the flattened 5th into your Pentatonic solos then you’re in for a treat. This lick illustrate­s how much cooler your solos can sound with the introducti­on of little Blues scale dissonance, demonstrat­ed here in early Clapton style. Use alternate 16th-note picking throughout and look out for the jump down to the 8th fret in the second bar. To keep this slick, play the D on the 10th fret (previous bar) with your third fretting-hand finger.
