Slash is very basic. He only uses the pentatonic scale. The 70s are over. He is not even close to Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci and Steve Vai.

He knows Phrygian inside out as well. Uses it in Double Talking Jive and in the middle of the Sweet Child of Mine solo. Near the end of Godfather he's playing classical scales. I also heard he knows Dorian but don't know where he applies it.

This Sweet Child of Mine ascent is Phrygian I think. Whatever it is, it has an egyptian feel and a few minor second intervals, so it's way more than pentatonic:

He switches into classical here. Could be Dorian, not sure. I think it's Mozart, Beethoven or someone. Maybe Bach:

And if he knows less scales than some of those shredders, he has 10x more musicality, and that's what the crowd want to hear. Music.
