Droning the Low E String

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

We are creating two-note harmonies with the open Low E string, by droning the Low E string, otherwise known as a pedal tone. The approximate chord names (technically not complete triads) are listed above the tab:


E5 E6 E7 Emaj7 E Esus2 Em E Esus4 E5
e|------------------------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------------------
A|--2----4----5----6----7----9----10----11----12----14--
E|--0----0----0----0----0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--
