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 augmentedA (14th fret on the G+G string) up to
a BB (1 step), and also playing the BB on the 12th fret of the BB string.

the rest is improvisation on the E minorEm pentatonic scale.
these are the main notes
