We've simplified the melody so every note fits inside one small area of the fretboard. You'll see and hear each note light up, then play it yourself.

The Secret
Here's Where That Melody Comes From
Every note you just played lives inside one simple pattern: the G Major Pentatonic Scale, Position 1.
"Pentatonic" means 5 notes — G, A, B, D, E. That's it. These 5 notes are behind countless country, rock, and blues melodies.
