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
