5 · G major pentatonic

Here's a trick: E minor pentatonic and G major pentatonic are the same five notes, E G A B D. What changes is the note you treat as home. Over Em it sounds minor; over G C D, land on G and it sounds major and sunny.

So you already know the shape. Play it over a G chord and aim for G, B and D, the notes of the chord, at the end of each phrase.
