The red number is the note
that you should use as your guide when playing the lick in other
keys. In this case the note is a C. If you wanted to play this
lick in D, you would just move everything up 2 frets so that the
number in red would be at the 10th fret on the first string (D).

Other than the very first note, everything is
out of a C major pentatonic scale. The first note can be thought
of a as a half step approach to the 2nd note which is in the
scale.
