santana Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) The verse is in D mixolydian. Chorus would most likely be A minor. During the solo, he switches between E minor and E harmonic minor. Edited April 14, 2006 by santana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepsun Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) November Rain is in (when tuned in flat, as GNR does) F Lydian which is the same notes of the C major scale.edit: and the end is in Cm Edited April 14, 2006 by zepsun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PULPY Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 God how i hate scales, people only sometimes use them as well, all the time there are songs which use all chords and not paticulars ones in a key. apart from improvising i see them useless.

Improvising is an enormous part of playing leadguitar, besides scales are everywhere whether you notice them or not. They're there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmartin Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 There is no lydian scale in November Rain. The first two solos are in C Major. The main lick in the outro solo is in C Harmonic Minor (C Minor with a sharpened 7th). The responses to the lick are in C Minor. I know you probably thought it was Lydian because the first chord is F but undoubtedly C is the root chord.GnR often used I-IV-V progressions but the I chord was not the first chord. SCOM, Paradise City and Yesterdays are three other examples that spring to mind.The first half of the Sweet Child Solo uses E Minor, E Minor Pentatonic and E Harmonic Minor Licks. The second half, the heavier part, is all E Minor Pentatonicas the outro solo.I'm still laughing at the person who said scales are shit coz they're only useful for improvising - that's the point of scales! Sort of like saying Chords are shit coz they're only useful for writing songs. Are the same logic as saying Axl is a bad frontman because he's only good for lyrics and singing!
