Riff 22 for Playing Blues Guitar in A

This is an example of an A minor pentatonic lick. What I'm going to show is on the B and the E strings. Essentially, what it's going to sound like is this (demo). What I'm doing here is simply bending up on the high E string on the 10th fret and using about a half bend not a full, that would be a full bend. A half bend is like (demo). That note there, which gives a nice little off tonality. What I'm doing is going (demo), and ending on the A note on the B string tenth fret and giving it a nice little rock. I can do that with my third finger just like doing this, but instead, I'm going to be doing it with my ring finger or third finger. Essentially what I'm doing here is (demo), and I'm digging into the string with my pick as well to give it a nice effect. So up to speed it would sound like this (demo).
