E5 D5 C5
Note: If you don’t get how to play this either try listening to the song and play it or
it is too hard then either come up with a different pattern or just strum once and let vibrate.
I play small solos were the C5 is usually in the key of E (almost any scale with E will
like the e blue scale)
