Comfortably Numb
This song is great for practicing switching between Pentatonic and Diatonic scales, to get a rock sound (with the Pentatonic) and some sweet melodic moments (with the Diatonic).

This is also a great song for practicing the slide zone on the low E string. Click the button below for scale chart.
