Here's a great G major pentatonic lick that gets you using your pinky. While this may be more challenging at first, it actually makes playing faster easier in the long run. Playing the 7th fret note on the A string, instead of just playing the open E, eliminates a string crossing with your pick. It's a lot easier to go fast when you have less string crossings. The pull-offs also give you more time to setup your pick for the string crossings! They can really help add speed once you master that technique. This one can be selected in measure 7 of 'Alabama Jubilee-Bluegrass'
