The Key of E Minor (Relative to G Major)
The relative minor of a given major key is based upon the 6th note of a major scale. In the G major scale, E is the 6th note, therefore E minor is the relative minor key. Major and relative minor keys both share the same key signature.
The following examples show the three variations of the E minor scale. Remember that in addition to the accidentals written, the F note is sharpened, as indicated by the key signature.
Part II of this duet features arpeggio picking, which involves playing chords in single notes rather than strums. To achieve the desired effect, hold down all fretted notes until the end of each bar.
For example, in bar 1, the first E note is held while the other notes are being played. This creates a harp-like effect. The pick motion, as indicated in bar 1, should be used throughout.
This song features a slight variation of the first and second endings (see bar 8). At the completion of the first ending, you should proceed to the next line, as indicated by the instruction "To next section". The second ending is not played until the very end of the song.
