One of the great things about playing blues on the guitar in the key of E—and a prime reason why it is a key that is so favored by blues guitarists—is that every one of the open strings sounds a pitch that is a part of the E minor pentatonic scale (E G A B D), the primary scale used for soloing within the blues idiom.
