8:35Slash's Stupidly Simple Solo Formula
Save referenceExpectation Violation
Slash is recognisable from the top hat alone, so guitar fans stop on him. Next to him, a scale shape most learners drill for months gets a big red cross. If a legend doesn't solo from shapes, you want to know what the formula is.
Naming Slash borrows a legend's pull, and 'Stupidly Simple' tells learners the formula is easier than the years of theory they expected.
The red cross over a real scale diagram shows guitarists exactly what they're told to drop, and Slash on a white background reads clearly at feed size.
When your method goes against how most learners are taught, cross out the standard diagram they know and put a famous name from your field beside it. Keep the new method hidden, and don't imply they endorse you.
Cross out the standard method beside a legend who breaks it.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
