After Jerome did the tabs for None but Jesus, I was improvising over the instrumental, and came up with this variation which makes heavy use of the pentatonic scale. The pentatonic scale comprises of just 5 notes - 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 - so its a good tool to start your improvisations.
C major (or A minor) pentatonic scales look like this:
------------------5-8---
--------------5-8-------
---------5-7------------
-----5-7----------------
-5-7--------------------
------------------------
-10-8----------------
------10-8-----------
-----------9-7-------
---------------10-7--
---------------------
---------------------
-------------------------12-15-
-------------------13-15-------
-------------12-14-------------
-------12-14-------------------
-12-15-------------------------
-------------------------------
Lastly, add lots of slides and bends to jazz it up, else it'd sound pretty bland with just 5 notes.
Tabs
I under-bent several of the bends so that the note just misses by a bit to get a bluesy effect.

C D E F G A B
C D E G A=pentomic? Im still trying to figure this out ..

??? The 12 is An "A" would it me "A minor scale still??" thankz for helping guys
hey teeb,
kenny said he relied heavily on the pentatonic scale
but he still used some other notes too
and an A minor pentatonic is the relative minor of the C major pentatonic
all the same notes
just different starting note
