Bro is like a cross between the late 60s blues rock guys and the shredders of the 80s. A lot of guys in his era sounded like copies of each other, but he did a great job of creating a unique sound.
One of the reasons why it works so good in that song (Sweet Child) is because (at least on the studio version of the song) the B chord in the rhythm behind the solo is an arpeggiated B7 chord. Good stuff as always!
Wow, its amazing how much adding a raised 7th changes the sound of the minor pentatonic scale. You can definitely hear Slash's style there. Thanks for the video!
Because of Slash, I start learning how to play lead guitar (learned the mi ir and major pentatonic scales) now I am trying to learn the harmonic minor scale now and i have to work on my alternate picking to go faster❤❤ Thanks for the video Ross
I've always loved knowing scales and chords. it makes things so much easier. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to play just trying to remember each fret .
Honourable Viking - learn lots of scales and you’ll end up playing scales, what you need is knowing what notes go with what’s being played, otherwise you’ll just sound like everyone else.
Great lesson Ross. Slash is one of my favorite guitar players and I could study his technique all day long. I'm looking forward to part two of Bulletproof Guitar. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the great work!
Hey man, really curious as to why a part 2 would be necessary of a guitar course that I'm guessing is rather pricey? Sounds to me like part 1 was beginner stuff? No hate here just curious.
This is fascinating mate - especially when you play the run from the solo with the natural next to the harmonic- it's subtle but at the same time the two runs are totally different and the natural one is missing that sort of desperation sound that makes the harmonic so much more interesting. Cheers lad!
Bro, I've been wrestling with this Sweet Child run for the last two years....it was the run that inspired me to pick up the guitar 30 yrs ago! But, while I've had the notes in my fingers for a coupla years...I've never been quite able to capture the groove. This little 7 minutes video has been a godsend to me! I still haven't captured the groove exactly -but you've just ha red me the tools that I can work on a hell of a lot. Like...now I know the scale I'm working in ! When you're teaching yourself, there's so much important info that gets missed. It's like trying to feel your way in the dark. Knowing the scale is like switching on the room's light! There's plenty of shadows left in the house, but at least... there's a heap I can see now.
SO concise.....I've picked up more from this short tutorial than I ever have from studying G'n'R & solo Slash tabs in magazines like Guitar Techniques or Guitar World (?). No disrespect to the incredible players who work on these publications but Ross has done it again and distilled a complex musical theory application down in an easily accessible Fashiøn (sic). Gawd bless you, sir!
I might just buy the course. I've been 'playing' for few years, quitting and picking up a guitar again because I just didn't know how to improve past chords and pentatonic scale (which sounded like you play a scale) and then I found Ross channel. Holy sh... I can actually play :D I'm pretty sure Ross will be responsible for a few new bands/guitar players who might never got there without his help. What a man !
I’m 15 and want to start a band and I’m learning guitar extremely quickly I’m on my first week and know all 5 pentatonic scale shapes and how to apply them and can play like 8 different riffs from all kinds of songs and written a few riffs
Slash is the King of Harmonic, blues, pent, minor scale use. He knows the neck and roots, and that's his secret weapon. Look at the intro riff to SCOM...Dmaj, Cmaj, Gmaj roots, but with a twist. Started as a practice technique, et voila...🎼🎶🎵🎸
I just discovered your channel and so far, this is the best channel to understand scales and modes for an intermediate player like me..you explain it in such a way that it is easy to understand
I want to take the time to say thank you for uploading your video and sharing how effective a raised 7 can enhance your soloing performance. The Improvement I have made with my soloing in the past 12 hours has improved tremendously! ... thanks again!
Excellent work Ross. I'm just picking up guitar again. I'm a big Hendrix and Clapton SRV. I've always loved Slash's playing. Great explanation of his playing.
Very good player and teacher!!! I am a drummer wanting to play guitar much better than I can now... I want to put in the work but not waste time. This guy looks like the real deal to me....
Good lessons dude, I look at everything as pentatonic on guitar, I always just add the other intervals to it for everything else but the pentatonic is the bones under everything else, took me years to figure that out. Anyway. I wanted to suggest something to help students with seeing intervals, after they learn a piece from tab, to transcribe interval names into tab instead of fret numbers and Read it as you play the piece, it's working great for me so I thought I'd share with someone who may put it to good use.
An even better example is Double Talkin’ Jive. Great solo, although he also plays notes outside the harmonic minor scale that work, making it an interesting topic for discussion. SCOM is a classic, but he doesn’t do anything particularly adventurous.
@@fredriksvard2603 I wouldn't go that far. It's not even the worst song on Appetite, in my opinion...and the solo has pretty much all the ingredients a listener and guitarist could ever want. But it's not their best song either and some of the magic has been killed by all the mainstream radio exposure.
Boys! How come we are all just hearing of this video now? It's a year old! And I've been doing battle with the Sweet Child run for the last 2 yrs! Getting the notes is one thing, getting the groove is another. And Ross here has got the groove, the notes, the speed..and the understanding of the mechanics at play - the scales etc.. Where was this video of his a year ago? Lost in the algorithm...?
Podem falar o que quiserem sobre o Slash, mas ninguém pode negar que a criatividade e musicalidade do cara é muito aflorada e com um excelente bom gosto em suas composições!! Vídeo top com professor top!!! Gostei!!!
Maycon Douglas concordo plenamente, sinceramente também não entendo as críticas. Slash é um guitarrista incrível, criativo, original, tem um vibrato e uma forma de expressão unicas, não vejo muitos guitarristas fazer isso inclusive virtuosos.
Ricardo Proença Não éhh? As composições dele são de muito bom gosto e muito marcantes para o pessoal ficar desdenhando dele como guitarrista... Acho que as vezes é até inveja.... Abraço brother!!
Love the Harmonic Minor Scale! After I learned it I played it obsessively every day. Just the scale, up and down all over the neck, long after I had it memorized. Thanks Ross!
Hey there very nice video, good lesson, I really dig your guitar tone. Are you using an automatic wah in there or do you actually have a wah in open , it sounds like something is on there.
Wow. Great playing. So clean. This is what I want to be able to do (I’m a old beginner). I’m a new subscriber and I love your content although it appears to be geared more towards the intermediate to advance rather than a beginner (aka my level) but I still enjoy your videos none the less
Hi! Ross, Great Tutorial. Please, could you make a slow closeup for the section 2:34 to 2:38? I mean, this is the hardest part of the solo and I can't nail it. Thanks in advance
I'm working on it now. I'm using the speed settings and slowing it down to 25% Try that and learn off the fingering before playing at speed. Been playing that section at quarter speed for the last 10 minutes and I still suck. Hahaha!
Santana does that a lot. One example is Smooth, where he plays the natural 7th under the E7 chord. The harmonic minor is very easy to identify because of the odd intervals comparing to other scales and modes.
Hello. You seem to be more knowledgeable than I am. Question. Can you only use the natural and harmonic scale over certain chords? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Truly hope you and your family are doing well during this very odd time.
@@asssscats You can use both over any chord as long as the combination does not create too much of a dissonance. One glaring example is the trumpet solo in Led Zeppelin's All My Love. The song is in A minor, and the solo plays the harmonic G# on the way up and natural G on the way down.
I thought a raised 7th is when you go up one not down? when I look it up online and type in exactly what you wrote it shows the 7th going up not down looking at the pentatonic harmonic minor.
Thanks for posting. I was wondering how what scale slash used in this lead. Although I still can't execute it still, this scale makes some interesting tone, far from the traditional natural minor scale that a beginner like me usually learns. and btw, awesome playing too. this part of the lead is the difficult one, i'm so glad i found your video. hope i get half as good. :)
ROSS CAMPBELL, which ROCK songs used Harmonic minor licks/scales, you have mentioned GNR's, sweet child of mine, the eagles hotel california used harmonic minor lick, any others you can think of?
Harmonic minor in the hand of beginner musician, almost always sound like middle eastern or neo classical music. But here is actually a unique use of harmonic minor, I think Slash listen to jazz. From blues, mixolydian, then harmonic minor is pretty typical improvisation in jazz, along with melodic minor, diminshed scale and augmented or whole tone scale, to give it a little "outside" feel.
Honestly thanks for putting the tabs on screen while playing, it’s only a small thing but it helps an insane amount
Bro is like a cross between the late 60s blues rock guys and the shredders of the 80s. A lot of guys in his era sounded like copies of each other, but he did a great job of creating a unique sound.
Well said couldn't agree more
Just spent an hour rewinding and replaying the intro. Glorious!
One of the reasons why it works so good in that song (Sweet Child) is because (at least on the studio version of the song) the B chord in the rhythm behind the solo is an arpeggiated B7 chord.

Ok I’m 6 years late to the party…but hats off mate, you keep playing like that and you will be on UA-cam one day.
Learn lots of scales and you will start to make sounds from your imagination, a builder cannot build without bricks!
Honourable Viking love this
I've always loved knowing scales and chords. it makes things so much easier. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to play just trying to remember each fret .
Honourable Viking - learn lots of scales and you’ll end up playing scales, what you need is knowing what notes go with what’s being played, otherwise you’ll just sound like everyone else.
I wish i learned them a long time ago. Better late than never.

Who put thumbs down and why. I am guessing some sad jealous weirdos. Thanks for lesson I know most of us are grateful.
Think it might be yt bots ngl
Love this lesson more slash please please I’m subscribed to the website 👍🏾thanks
Oh wow! You can hear that immediately. Very cool
Very good player and teacher!!! I am a drummer wanting to play guitar much better than I can now... I want to put in the work but not waste time. This guy looks like the real deal to me....
The best lessons on the web Ross, without a doubt. Keep it up!
Great. I was trying to not make this sound Spanish after learning it in my lessons. Such a great example.
I like the new icon bruh. I see the brand coming together. Keep up the high quality content, I definitely think people notice it.
Elido Thank you!
Excellent playing! Love your tone & phrasing! 👌

I really like the way you teach
I'm so excited for part 2 of bullet proof, I learnt so much from part 1 it's really helped my playing a lot
Sweet Child of Maine 😂
Great video man! Cheers!!!
Nice, finally an "easy" lesson about this... thanks a lot !
Nice playing man. Solid..nice vibrato, that’s the most important thing to me.
Excellent Ross campbell!!!!
You're a fantastic teaching!!!!!
Thanks for this.. very helpful!!
I can see the Tools of Titans behind. You look to be a smart guy :)
Thanks for the lesson btw.

Sick lesson man, I love your videos.
Very good work
Amazing
Amazing tutorial like
That thumbnail is sick
Good playing man I want to learn more. I've been playing 25 years but need to develop more knowledge.
Absolutely terrific!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Stunning opening!
W0W!
I love slash lessons 😍😍😍
Clean rip of that solo In intro
Cool vid. Just subscribed to your channel
I prefer the Henry J era wider fingerboards. So much more room to deviate.
Another good example is the Anastasia solo towards the end.
Thanks very much!
Great lesson Ross! Thank's very very much! Do You have more lessons about Slash? Cool!!!
Hey there very nice video, good lesson, I really dig your guitar tone. Are you using an automatic wah in there or do you actually have a wah in open , it sounds like something is on there.
Beautiful job! Thank u, dude
Famtastic lesson! Thank you!
mrcali68 thanks!
The last scale you put combining the minor scale and the harmonic minor scale looks like a bebop major scale
Wow. Great playing. So clean. This is what I want to be able to do (I’m a old beginner).

Superb
Man i was so surprised when i run into this observation that he uses harmonic minor🤗i was not sure but no i see this video and i feel awesome haha
Starting at 1:08 , the first few notes, I sort of hear The Rolling Stones "She Comes In Colors"
Thanks, can't thank you enough
Anyone happen to know what wah pedal he was using?
Waiting for the part II of the course while studying the first one.
Luiz Roberto Carvalho Awesome! It will be out soooon :)
From what i hear, i think harmonic minor is present throughout the first part of that solo
He absolutely does. The B7 chord Izzy plays during the chord progression is another clue.
Jinda reh bhai
excellent
Video yang bagus...
Cool, Ross! Thank you!
Cesar Leandro Miguel Thanks Cesar!
Nice playing my dude! 2 years late but I hope you’ve conditioned that fretboard since. 😁
Great lesson, thanks a lot
YAY !
How can I get that guitar sound? I have a Epiphone Les Paul
I thought a raised 7th is when you go up one not down? when I look it up online and type in exactly what you wrote it shows the 7th going up not down looking at the pentatonic harmonic minor.
Can I mix penta blues and minor harmonic scale ?
What's the second backing track You used?
Thanks for posting. I was wondering how what scale slash used in this lead. Although I still can't execute it still, this scale makes some interesting tone, far from the traditional natural minor scale that a beginner like me usually learns. and btw, awesome playing too. this part of the lead is the difficult one, i'm so glad i found your video. hope i get half as good. :)
Salve man top essa escala
Menor melodica
A harmonia e top
🤝
Im confused on why u play the 11th on the G string when its not a part of the scale??
Great vid. Do your courses delve into 'outside' laying concepts/scales at all?
Hey Ross, how would u feel about a Matt Schofield technique lesson? You’re one of the few that could pull this one off. What do ya say?
I love Matt's playing - when I get back from America I'll have to get studying more of his stuff.
Ross Campbell great thx, can’t wait
Backing track for 5:18 lick?
ROSS CAMPBELL, which ROCK songs used Harmonic minor licks/scales, you have mentioned GNR's, sweet child of mine, the eagles hotel california used harmonic minor lick, any others you can think of?
Yngwie Malmsteen.
👍👍👍
What patch are you using in your axe fx for this tone Ross?
5 dislikes? what the hell?. Well haters gonna gate.
Another great video again!
