There aren’t really dedicated “punk rock scales.” Most punk lines come from the minor pentatonic or the natural minor scale, plus simple power chord shapes. Try using the A minor pentatonic (A–C–D–E–G) and play fast, tight rhythms. If you share a riff you like, it’s easy to point out which scale it uses. Punk is mostly about feel and aggression, not special theory.
