Guitar: E Natural Minor Over the Changes

Where E Natural Minor lies at this seat, and what a chorus takes out of it.

E Natural Minor runs 7 notes to the octave, laid out here on EADGBE with every E flagged. Mid-chorus the pattern is not what you need; where the root is when the chord changes underneath you is.

The standard natural minor scale — melancholic, introspective, and deeply emotive. The most common minor sound in Western music.

Heard in: Pop, rock, classical, metal — the default minor sound of Western music.

A guitar chorus is a single line with the comp dropped, so a scale here is what the picking hand walks through between the two or three phrases it actually meant to play.

Play it slowly against the audio until it stops being a shape, then put it over two bars of a form and let the chord tones decide which of the notes you actually keep.
