Transcript

Hey, this is Doug Aldrich from White Snake and I bet you can't play this. This is in the key of A minor, this thing. And I’m using this technique where I’m picking 3 of the 6 notes. And slow, it’s kind of like this. The technique is down stroke. So down, down, up and the rest are hammer on and pull up, something like that. So the descending part of that lick is also an A minor. But I get up there, I kind of slide into it. It is based on this A minor pentatonic pattern right here, this one which is the one right before this one, you know the main one. And so when you get up here and I like this bends here. Kind of like this Jeff back type of thing. So that’s roughly what it is.
