Slow/Sad acoustic rock 80s power ballad style guitar backing track in E minor.

Scale:
E minor for the whole thing

Based off a popular 80s power ballad, this slow + sad backing track has the following progression:
Gmaj - Cmaj9 (x2)
Emin - Dmaj - Cmaj - Gmaj
Emin - Dmaj - Cmaj

I used just an acoustic guitar and bass on this track with a pad synth in the background to help thicken out the sound.
