Progress to an advanced level of guitar playing - bulletproofguitarplayer.com In today's video, I'm teaching you about how Slash uses the Harmonic Minor scale in combination with minor pentatonic and blues scales to create interesting licks, like the infamous build-up to the solo in Sweet Child O' Mine.

Honestly thanks for putting the tabs on screen while playing, it’s only a small thing but it helps an insane amount
Just spent an hour rewinding and replaying the intro. Glorious!
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
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!
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.
@@BobK5 but you also just another everyone else lol
Outstanding lesson!
Thank you so much Ross.
Excellent playing! Love your tone & phrasing! 👌
Sick lesson man, I love your videos.
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
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
Excellent Ross campbell!!!!
You're a fantastic teaching!!!!!
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!
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.
Great video as always :D
The best lessons on the web Ross, without a doubt. Keep it up!
Thanks for this.. very helpful!!
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...🎼🎶🎵🎸
Nice playing man. Solid..nice vibrato, that’s the most important thing to me.
Beautiful job! Thank u, dude
nice one... again ross!!! keep it up mate!!! much lesson much better!!!
Absolutely terrific!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this lesson more slash please please I’m subscribed to the website 👍🏾thanks
great lesson!
Great lesson Ross!
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.
Slash!!!!! What about Steve via he is the best guitarist in the world
2020 awesome thanks for sharing...
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
Great lesson Ross! Thank's very very much! Do You have more lessons about Slash? Cool!!!
Sounds great Ross
Thanks very much!
Nice, finally an "easy" lesson about this... thanks a lot !
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
Oh wow! You can hear that immediately. Very cool
Stunning opening!
Thank you I just realized I’ve been combining both without realizing it 🤷🏻♀️ I was just going by what sounded good to me
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!
Amazing
Very good work
I really like the way you teach
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!
Good playing man I want to learn more. I've been playing 25 years but need to develop more knowledge.
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.
Scom is their worst song
@@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...?
Amazing tutorial like
Great vid. Do your courses delve into 'outside' laying concepts/scales at all?
YAY !
Great. I was trying to not make this sound Spanish after learning it in my lessons. Such a great example.
Superb
Cool vid. Just subscribed to your channel
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
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.
Totally agree, using that as a framework is a magical realisation.
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....
Famtastic lesson! Thank you!
mrcali68 thanks!
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!
JONIRULES That's awesome to hear buddy. Thanks for such a nice comment!
I love slash lessons 😍😍😍
excellent
Nice
Great lesson, thanks a lot
Cool, Ross! Thank you!
Cesar Leandro Miguel Thanks Cesar!
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

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.
I can see the Tools of Titans behind. You look to be a smart guy :)
Thanks for the lesson btw.
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.
Damn you killed that solo in the beginning of the video
Thanks, can't thank you enough
I prefer the Henry J era wider fingerboards. So much more room to deviate.
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
The last scale you put combining the minor scale and the harmonic minor scale looks like a bebop major scale
Starting at 1:08 , the first few notes, I sort of hear The Rolling Stones "She Comes In Colors"
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!!
That thumbnail is sick
What patch are you using in your axe fx for this tone Ross?
Clean rip of that solo In intro
Video yang bagus...
Ross, what beat does this fast run start on?
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!
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!
W0W!
Gotta be shittin me being able to play that ! How long did it take you ?
I am absolute beginner. So is it harmonic scale or aeolian we are often taught in elementary schools, not aeolianas 1 of the 2 major scales - DUR & MOL, e.g. C-dur, c-mol? Can someone answer my questions. Thank you in advance! :)
👍👍👍
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.
Nice playing my dude! 2 years late but I hope you’ve conditioned that fretboard since. 😁
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.
What's the second backing track You used?
Can I mix penta blues and minor harmonic scale ?
How can I get that guitar sound? I have a Epiphone Les Paul
Anyone happen to know what wah pedal he was using?
Another good example is the Anastasia solo towards the end.
Backing track for 5:18 lick?
Waiting for the part II of the course while studying the first one.
Luiz Roberto Carvalho Awesome! It will be out soooon :)
Jinda reh bhai
Are there specific chord progressions or types where the harmonic minor works best? I think I recall that in a Minor key if the 5th chord is changed from min to Maj (so in Emin, playing a BMaj instead of a Bmin) then the harmonic minor scale works. Any other guidelines there?
If you natural minor chords are i-iidim-III-iv-v-VI-VII then your harmonic minor chords will be i-iidim-III#5-iv-V-VI-#viidim. VI can be swapped for vi and you can resolve using V7-i.
Anybody know what wah pedal he uses?
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.
Nope
I like to use Phyrgian dominant with H minor scales in my jams.could u show us that.cheers..👀👍
Mike Cooper Cool, thanks for the suggestion!
How to do that sound on my guitar?
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.
