scales

The song is mainly in B minor( BC# DE F# GA ), but the brighter first solo and chorus es are in D major( DE F# G A BC #). The two keys share the same notes so you’ll be dealing with the same pool of notes, just with different starting notes (aka root notes). In the outro solo David uses a handy B minor pentatonic shape that spans six frets using only the first and third fingers. It’s great for blitzing through two or three shapes of the same scale.
