B is the "leading tone" in the key of C Major—it desperately wants to resolve up to C. This tension makes it a powerful note to highlight in your solos.

Remember that the interval between the G and B strings is a major third, not a perfect fourth like the others. This shifts your scale shapes. Memorizing B notes helps you navigate this "tuning trap" with confidence.
