    Remember you can play the notes seperately.


    Sometimes use 'passing notes'.
    Use the Relative 'Minor pentatonic' when this gets boring!

    Eg G = Em pentatonic, C = Am (5th fret), A = F#m (2nd fret), D = Bm (7th fret)

    E Minor pentatonic in 1st position A minor penta (same pattern starting on 5th fret)
