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
