Blues guitar licks that incorporate the b and high e strings?

I’m getting some pretty good stuff going with a minor pentatonic on the lower strings but I just haven’t been able to groove as well on the b and high e strings. I want to learn those…flurries you know? Those flick off/ hammer on licks. Can you lend a hand?

   Do what I did to learn to use the minor pentatonic effectively: Learn Voodoo Child (Slight Return). Go ahead and use tabs, and learn the first solo from that, and a few of the fills. Then, once you’ve done that, start improvising your fills, and tackle the second solo as improv. Somehow after that, the heavens opened up and I must have gained some mojo, because I went from being a s**t improviser to relatively good

   Robert Johnson – Crossroad Blues

   The opening lick (and most of the fills placed in the song) are played on the two highest strings but the guitar is tuned differently, it’s in open E or open A.
