Right, i'm no SRV and am not a fan of endless blues pentatonic widdling without generating some "interest". So over a standard blues I recon I can mix up
pent minor
major pent
Dom7 arpeggios
plus a bit of chromatacism
and also change the scales in my head when the chord changes so I'm targeting different b3rd, b5 etc.
I don't have a good source of arp based licks or even Major pentatonic licks to start the brain working so I@m having to play over an A7 vamp at the moment getting my head around the three arps/scales over the one chord before moving to the 4th and then ultimately the 5th.
Does anyone have a good source of Major pent licks or arps or even nice tracks to start learning so that I can expand my lick/phrase vocabulary at the same time.
or should I go hide in a dark room somewhere and drink special brew instead?

In a simple 12-bar, try the I major pentatonic over the I chord, when you go to the IV chord try either the I minor pentatonic or the IV dominant, for a nice "sleazy" feel on the change

When it does resolve to D, you can shuffle up a semitone and play C#minor penta.

Cm pent = C Eb F G Bb, wrt A that is b3 b5 b6 b7 b9, presumably the super locrian contains those intervals
C#m pent = C# E F# G# B, wrt D that is 7 9 3 #4 6 giving you a maj13#11 sound
Have I understood you correctly @viz?

As the OP was asking about the blues, I had my Dominant I IV V hat on, hence my confusion Regarding the scale choice :-)
