Bent Out of Shape
The odd thing about this song is that it’s in C and uses every diatonic chord except Em, yet all the solos use the E-minor pentatonic “blues” scale. Weird, huh.
Standard tuning
F 1.3.3.2.x.x
G 3.5.5.4.x.x
C x.3.5.5.5.x
Dm x.5.7.7.6.x
Am 5.7.7.5.x.x
G#m 4.6.6.4.x.x
Leads are all in E-minor pentatonic; here’s the first
—————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————12——————————— —4—2——0———————————4—2—————14——————12— ———————2—0————2—————————————12—14——— ——————————2—0————————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————
