  And it's the same rhythm throughout the whole song.  Pretty simple huh?  
  The trick is to get the timing right to give it that funky/disco sound 
  we all love.  It's a pretty catchy tune and definitely worth a good listen 
  because of the rhythmic possibilities.  The song is in the key of A and 
  armed with that knowledge you should be able to use the A major pentatonic 
  scale.  Here it is.

  To spice it up you can add a few tasty notes to it

  After the solo, SLASH does this cool lick with the wah pedal.
