 Rhythm and lead

Many years ago I used this simple rhythm to come up with thousands of ideas. E5, D5, C5 and B5. You can base your lead in G major, Em and C major. I will begin to explain now to use these different scales to play over this one simple rhythm. No you don't have to tap, it just came out. You can come up with an endless number of ideas using this one simple rhythm. You need to put this rhythm down on cassette and begin to play lead over it. 

Listen to this lead and rhythm. I have to apologize for the terrible quality of the sound. But I had to lower the speed and put in mono to make the file smaller. When I recorded this, I didn't know my guitar was tuned to Eb. So if you want your rhythm to match you need to tune your guitar down 1/2 step.

The beginning part of the lead only uses the B string. The last part of the lead uses every note of G major on the High E string up to the B note 19th fret.

Good Luck,
