E Minor Pentatonic

The E Minor Pentatonic is a simple guitar scale that can easily be added to all music. It can be found from Mozart to ZZ Top. The notes of an E Minor Pentatonic are E,G,A,B,D,E.

An E Minor Pentatonic is the same as a G Major Pentatonic, just played at a different mode. therefore it fits easy when you are playing a G Major progression (G,C,D).

To make an E Minor Pentatonic an E Blues scale all one has to do is to add an A# to the scale. This creates a very good sound and makes for some good leads.

Here is an article I wrote about how to play this scale:
