One thing you can do is record this with a tape recorder or a similar device, then improvise
over it with the following Em Blues scale, which is based off of the Em Pentatonic scale:

---------------------0-3----
---------------0-2-3--------
-----------0-2--------------
-----0-1-2------------------
-0-3------------------------
