Let us do what I call the Blues Scale. It is in E minor, pentatonic scale with a flat five. The 5-note in the scale is—remember when you play it? We did power chords in step one. An E-5 chord is like this (Demonstration) because you have the root note of the chord, which is in E, and then you walk up a major scale and go (Demonstration). That is the 5th note of the scale. Hence, it is called an E-5 chord.
When you flat something, you take it down a half step. Remember, a half step is one fret on the guitars. So, if you take the 5-note, you take it down a half step, and you have that note.
The reason I call this is a Blues Scale is because the flat five is the “bluesiest” note you find on the guitar. It works great for rock and roll. Metallica uses it all the time. It is just a wonderful tonality and it easy to play. So, let us try this. E minor pentatonic with flat 5, starts again on the E, three frets up, and now we have this note. (Demonstration) There is the flat 5 again. Now we are going to walk down the scale. It is a good way this. Up and down, back and forth. (Demonstration)
