| Phrygian scale usually serves well to start.
One possible approach:
First, try learning the bass-playable parts of the Crazy train solo. Then look at the roots that the bass player is hitting (ie whats the progression) and see how randy moves what he's playing from chord to chord. The notes that land on stronger tones (usually bends or longer notes) are usually in harmony with the bass (ie the 3rd, 5th, 6th of the scale/chord if the bass plays the root)...
...judging by your sig, you prob dont know what that means, but for the more significant notes you use, try to make them the following distances from the bass: up or down: 3-4 frets and up 7 frets.
If you want to do like a 3 note repeated arpeggio like Db-E-Ab (I-III-V) for a high tension part up high...
If the bass note is E for instance, then use the Db-E-Ab one above, making the E the second note. The highest note (Ab) will be in harmony with the E (4 frets up). Thats just one example:
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------14-18-----14-18------14-18------14-18-------
A---------------10-12-14-12-----------------12-14-16-14- 16---------16---------16---------16---------
E-10-12-13-12----------------12-13-15-13--------------------------------------
You dont have to play this..its just an example of the arpeggio at the end.
I'm a pretty poor teacher, but yea thats just some stuff to keep in mind as you progress...you'll figure it out.
