Improvisation — metal in F New
The F5-C5 riff (tonic-dominant back and forth) has no third: the F minor pentatonic scale (fret 1, right next to the nut) sits on top without clashing.
Tips
This is the position closest to the nut in the whole catalog: a good landmark for memorizing where each root note sits on the low E string.
