With D Major Pentatonic scale as the basis, the lesson explores Sambora's signature phrasing, alternate picking, and double stops.
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Kurt Cobain's solo in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" showcases his raw energy and grunge aesthetic. The F Minor Pentatonic scale is at play here, and Cobain's aggressive palm-muting and powerful chords make this an outstanding lesson for those looking to capture the '90s grunge sound.

Mick Ralphs' solo in "Can’t Get Enough" is a rock classic. Driven by the C Major Pentatonic scale, the solo is loaded with catchy licks, slides, and string bending. This lesson is a superb entry into classic rock styling and a window into Ralphs' contributions to rock guitar.
