Translation: he likes to use the pentatonic and diatonic scales which gives him the rock sound hes referring too. All the while, he enjoys mixing the minor and major third for tonal modulation and add a different feel (like most blues players do). He also like to throw in the seventh (the blue note) and play off the blues scale. When the sixth is involved in the chord progression he likes to uses the harmonic minor scale to add a melancholic feel to the whole thing. You're welcome

I love how he calls the pentatonic scale "the rock scale." That is the most accurate way I've heard it explained. And his way of playing with feeling/emotion but can't do it as well when he trys to be more technical is exactly how I am. His concept on taking the pentatonic scales and just adding a few different notes to get the different feelings/sounds is the same way I have always approached my lead playing. The only real difference is Slash is WAY better at it than I could ever hope to be.

Great example of someone not caring much about or being super knowledgeable on the deepest ins and outs of music theory, but still being able to play at master level.. You can tell he's playing all sorts of spicy stuff including very tasteful pentatonic and blues licks, Dorian, mixolydian, etc, etc.. He doesn't get hung up on the names of it all but still plays it very tastefully.. I myself have spent aeons studying scales and modes and it's nice to be able to put names to the shapes you're seeing and the sounds you're hearing but the holy grail is just being able to PLAY it. I have seen people say Slash is overrated for using too much pentatonic same with Kirk Hammett, but yet their solos sound very pleasing to the ear because well, pentatonic are often the best harmonic choices to build your phrases around.. These guys don't have to be pros at theory, if they just sound good.

what he is saying is that all he plays are the pentatonic shapes with chromaticism. the rest of the video he is just trying to hide how simple his approach really is. He's no dumby. Not a knock on him at all just the truth. He shows you (study his tabs after learning these positions; penta and blues scales are the two he is refering to) and you'll see that he uses those scales his whole career masterfully. Look at the November rain solo for example. 1st position. Look at civil war main riff open position penta. look at don't cry solo, again mainly all pentatnoic. even with velvet spectacle solo etc over and over. how he gets so much music out of these scales is incredible and shows how truly inexhaustible music really is. Imagine if he delved into modes at some point...like prince once said regarding modes, the possibilities are endless. Think about it - 12 keys and 7 modes...that's alot of potential music. Not to mention the man made melodic and harmonic minor keys. What slash does right imo is that he actually MASTERED something instead of getting lost in the inexhaustible. Hence the intro slide K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid)
