Hi i'm playing this riff or tune whatever you want to call it that my friend made. He ask me to try to solo to it but i don't know what scale i should use.I am trying to use the notes on the neck of the guitar i put the note and tab down. I see that F is my common note so do i have to use a F major or minor scale. I know my Major scale,Minor Pentatonic scale, Blues scale and Major Pentatonic.Just one more thing could so one try it out maybe you coulde solo to it i would try but guitar got bronke at the neck so i have to wait to get my new JACKSON DXMG. Thanks for all the HELP

try the E Lydian mode (same as the B major scale but based around an E root)
B Major scale = B C# D# E F# G# A#

E Lydian mode = E F# G# A# B C# D#
