LTS --Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought "G,G, E, A G, E" translated to "sol, sol, mi, la, sol, mi" in solmization -- the notes fa and ti are the ones that are left out of the pentatonic scale... I think.
And, um, who is this Manitas of which you speak? And why should I take his (her?) word for it? ;-)
