That's fun.


"The punk rock scales" ? I think it goes DIY. No, really, maybe find a tune you like and if it has a scale or some lead licks, or even just the chords then 1) draw up a blank tab template, 2) just add the notes that are in the scale, but all on top of each other, and in order of where they are on the guitar so you've just got a block diagram. When same note happens more than once, ignore the repeats. Then, I guess you'd of drawn up a DIY scale for yourself. Like


 


For example:


F. Armageddon, Bad Religion notes used (according to some random tab)


E---------------------5-----6----------


B---------------------5---------------7


G--------[2]----------[5]------[6]-----[7]-


D-------2--------------5-------6-------7-----------9


A-0-------3-----4-----5---------------7


E----------------------5---------------------8


 


The G string notes are implied by octaves, but didn't show up on the tab.


 


I dunno. For whatever songs you like, mapping it out might like that might give you a start on capturing the sound and being able to it your own.


 


Cheers,
