    Pentatonic scale.I know it's considered the blues
    scale, but its great for runs, especially in fast
    melodic punk.Pull-offs to an open string whenever
    possible is always big aka... Fear and greenday.

    Learn your natural major scale first, along with the natural minor, then consider the pentatonic major/minor.

    Also, the natural major and minor are quite large, and the essential building block for any other scale, pretty much.

    Not to be cocky, but learning tab lets you learn what other people wrote. It doesn't let you learn how to create stuff of your own. Playing by ear can be ok, but unless you're playing roots, or "a natural," it's not going to cut it. :)
