Now we’ll take a look at the E minor pentatonic and E blues guitar scales that are used for soloing over the blues in E. Since the key of E has been tremendously popular for country and electric blues and rock ‘n’ roll, these scales can be heard in thousands recordings of classic solos.

Ex.1 E Minor Pentatonic and E Blues Guitar Scale

To play the E minor pentatonic scale full range in the open position, practice it from the low root (or tonic) on the low E string, to the high note (the note G; 3rd fret, high E string), and then play back down the scale to the low root.
