Tuning: E A D G
Note that I have added a measure of 3/4 and a couple of measures of 2/4 to make it a little easier to feel
the count. What would feel to be the one sometimes falls on 2, 3 or 4 if you make each measure 4/4.
Also, I note frets above 9 using capital letters, so 10 is A, 11 is B, 12 is C, etc...

Performance Notes:
1 - The bass plucks/picks each note in this little E pentatonic riff, but it's kinda fun to play it like
the guitar with a pull off from the fretted E to the open D string, then pluck/pick the rest of the riff.
