scales

The B minor pentatonic scale works throughout the chorus and over the B5 chords in the verse; the C Lydian mode sounds great over the C5 and C5dim chords though it may sound too sophisticated if you’re after a punky Nirvana vibe or Pearl Jam-esque blues-rock approach. However, Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains are highly melodic soloists so try to channel their playing if you take the Lydian route.
