Ok here's the tip... Shawn lane has a different approach for the pentatonic...

He uses a very weird fingering at first, but it is WAY faster and more comfortable once you get used to it...
You have to play every note that start the 5 notes lick with your second finger, and then the first and ring for the following string (1 is first, 2 second, 3 is ring, 4 pinky)
--------------------------------------5-8--
----------------------------5-8---5-8------
------------------5-7---5-7-----7----------
---------5-7--5-7-----7--------------------
-----5-7-----7-----------------------------
-5-8---------------------------------------
1 4 1 3 1 3 21 3 1 3 2 1 3 1 3 2 1 3 1 3

I hope I was clear...
That lick is an excerpt from his REH tape "power licks" it's influenced by art tatum (quintolet and ascending scale)
