Dm Pentatonic country lick

So we’re working with a D minor pentatonic scale and we’re going to do a bend here while we’re holding another note. We’ve got that—I’m on the 13th fret on the second string. We’re holding our pinky there and then you can bend on the 12th fret on the third string here. We’re bending up a full step. And once you’re up there, you can just pluck it several times, that’s all I’m doing with the—pluck those two strings with your pinky and then we’re pulling down. And then I’m coming down with that to the 10th fret, and then down to the 12th fret, on the next string down.

And then I’m going to bar these two strings with my 1st finger but I’m going to pull up a quarter step on that 3rd string. And once I’ve get up the quarter step, I don’t want to bend the next string because I’m going play that straight and then I’ll bend it again when I come down. And then you can bend either where you want. I find it easier to bend down on this particular situation. Then back to the 12th fret on the fourth string.
