solo



if you don't know what a pentatonic scale is, please go out and learn it



this is a simple pentatonic scale in Em.



the beginning is played by bending an A (14th fret on the G string) up to

a B (1 step), and also playing the B on the 12th fret of the B string.



the rest is improvisation on the Em pentatonic scale.

these are the main notes
