Yeah, slides, bends, and hammer-ons work, but just picking the two notes can be good, too - it has a brassier sound than the softer attacks.
And yes - B.B. King agrees with you: He says his habit is to fix mistakes by sharpening them - sliding up. But since I'm playing the b3 on purpose, I think of it as part of one particular blues scale. But thinking about it your way also makes sense - and it fits Larry's position that there's no such thing as a one-way scale.
So - what are these clusters of notes I'm wondering about called if they're not called scales? And what about SRV's two-octave scale?....
