Hey kids! On Weekend Wankshop 208, Uncle Ben here is gonna be showing you the 5 hidden licks that you never noticed Slash plays in Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses!!!
I've heard this song a bajillion times, but its not until i listened to Slash's isolated guitar track from Appetite for Destruction that i heard these 5 sicks licks. Most of them take place during the 2nd and 3rd verses, and a really strange one at the end of the breakdown. I had NEVER noticed these before or seen any lessons on how to play them, so here we are!
Grab your finest Les Paul, tune down a half step, and learn these hot licks. You'll never hear this song the same way again!

Thanks for learning these 5 hidden licks in Welcome to the Jungle!!! What other Guns n’ Roses songs do you want to learn next on Weekend Wankshop?!?!
Awesome stuff Uncle Ben! I know this is epically long one, but what about exploring Estranged some for us? Love that tune and Slash kills on it!
Dude! Just keep up the great work! I learn more and more about guitar every time you post. If you're ever near Shelbyville, come record some leads for me!! Lol
Ben Eller gotta do My World. Best damn track off illusions 2
Ben Eller okay maybe not My World but ima say it again Locomotion one of the best and I feel under appreciated tracks. Would love to see that or Don’t Damn Me solo, some really hard shit going on there. Also different topic, how about eventually shortest straw? Heaviest song off the whole damn album and I mean cmon, 10 artificial harmonics consecutively. Feel like a damn king after that. Everyone deserves to feel that pride lol
Thanks Uncle Ben, awesome lesson as usual. I've wanted to learn those riffs for a long time, at least the ones I could hear anyway. You just made it a whole lot easier. "Dead Horse" from Gn'R would be a good one, especially the guitar solo. "Don't Damn Me" is another one I would like to learn. Rock on Uncle Ben.
I remember the first time I listened to this record with headphones on, I was blown away by how the two guitar players were playing such different and unique parts that blended together so well. I think most people are clueless as to how amazing these songs really are, kind of like Izzy & Slash together made 2+2=5 somehow.
I had the same experience the first time I heard Deloused in the Comatorium.
It's not two guitars, but a guitar and a Wurlitzer planned left/right and trading licks, it weaved such a fantastic tapestry of music.
I noticed some things in the early days nut I really began to appreciate the interplay between Slash and Izzy when I was hearing Paradise City for the 100,000th time while playing Burnout Paradise
Agreed! I thought most people could hear these 5 licks! These along with izzys scratchy yet somehow smooth rhythm parts are what make the song for me. And the album in fact! All rock musicians should really listen carefully and study the guitars on appetite, some of the greatest back and forth playing by two guitarists ever! And in that great mix so much of it sounds so subtle and blends into each other so well that it can be hard to make out exactly what is being played. The album is a rock n roll masterpiece.
Dude I know exactly what you mean they're so many juicy licks in their songs...very reminiscent of stones and aerosmith you can that influence in their playing
Guns and roses are one of the best bands to do it and I'm not even a big fan like that I just recognise good shit
I confirm^^ Great job dude
No way, the real Niko slash!!!
Niko Slash approves your post
Bro it’s nico slash 😱😱😱
I used to listen to GNR everyday multiple times for about 15 years, no joke. I got all this little things, also watching as many live videos as i used to, it's easy to see what Slash adds up. Slash is creative as hell and altough he is a idol for a lot of ppl, he is underrated for how much talent he has or at least had in such a young age.
Thing is most people weirdly ignore the killer riffs are mostly played by Izzy not Slash,
Malcolm Young same thing, everyone raved about Angus but of course all 4 are essential rock guitarists.
Slash and lzzy were such amazing bluesy rocknroll players together, playing different parts that meshed so well together, nice job Ben
the dynamic duo of the 80's.
Agree, dude. They were the best duo. Duff gave to gun's and roses excellent stuff too.
For sure man. Guitar weaving like Brian and Keith.
And how did they manage to do it while chasing the dragon all the time
Lick 1 - 3:16
Lick 2 - 4:35
Lick 3 - 6:40
Lick 4 - 8:32
Lick 5 - 10:23

Gracias ídolo
Hats off
Knight in shining armor status!! Thanks, dude.... and/or dudette(jic)
As soon I heard the first lick I went, wtf?
I literally grew up with this song and I never heard any of that.
Great work uncle Ben
As someone who is a HUGE fan of GnR and Slash, as well as someone who constantly plays Slash's parts on guitar, I just want to say thank you for this video. I'm shocked that I never noticed these licks before. When I was around 15 or 16, I bought a book of sheet music/ tabs for GnR's entire discography to try and learn the songs as best as I could. Needless to say, these little licks were NOT included in the book 😂
I would love to see some more GnR hidden licks videos, should they exist! Thanks for sharing this!
That diminished chord run is genius. It adds one more notch to the chaos that is that breakdown. That section of the song has always sounded like the soundtrack to a nervous breakdown to me. You come to the city from a small town, totally unprepared, and the city is eating you alive.
This song is brilliant! Slash and Izzy we’re almost playing different songs, but their tracks sounded so good together!
Wow! Just goes to show you what a genius Slash is! Izzy's isolated tracks on this song are awesome as well!
Oh, and yeah, a video about Izzy´s parts would be cool!
As someone who has listened to this ISO track many times, I knew exactly which licks you were talking about when I saw the vid title. I've always meant to dig into them myself, and now you've done all the work! Thanks! VERY cool video idea. Lick #3 is my fave.
I knew this song because of guitar hero back in the day and I've heard those licks on practice mode. If you really put attention and knowing they're there you can hear them. I always wanted to learn them but like you said, no one seems to notice them before so there's no tabs anywhere. Thanks a lot uncle Ben for bringing this kind of stuff, I really apreciate them and I've learned a lot watching your videos. Keep doing this, you rock lml
yes! it seems like those kicks were louder in guitar hero 3!!! especially that very last lick.
Man, you change my life with those licks 1 & 2 of verse 2! I've heard clearly the verse 3/lick 1 just many years ago, but not the others, and now every time i listen to welcome to the jungle i am restless to hear accurately the entire song. I think now, thanks to you, i can taste it better notes per notes! Thank you Ben. And thanks to Slash to had encrypt those jewels inside that great song!! God bless rock'n'roll!!
A million years YES on the Izzy riff video!!! A very underrated guitarist, I think overshadow by a legend!
I’ve been listening to these parts for years on the isolated guitar tracks and have been dying for someone to make a video on how to play them, thank you so much
This is one of the reasons I love your teachings and this channel. You stop, think and listen. Then, you teach us. Thanks man!
I just noticed that a lot of modern guitar players don't play licks in between riffs anymore you know? like the way it was in the 80's? Like Eddie, Randy, Nuno, Steve etc.
Now they tend to just lock into the rythm.
The only modern guitar player I can think of right now that still does this is Herman Li
I love all those fills - Eat em and smile was a perfect example. Vai slipped those fills in like my stepdad slips his ..............
Mr. Metalhorse and they stick to the same pattern throughout entire song, Brian May would always modify his rhythmic part in many places in a song plus fillers etc; today guitar playing is mechanical and superficial
I always felt Mark Knoffler was the "King of Little Fills".
Animals as leaders, polyphia, scale the summit, intervals, check these guys if u want some modern skill, you just gotta learn to dig harder to discover the new artists
@@Zelomeisterdude Same here! Dire Straits was always kind of a guilty pleasure/generic uninspired dad music thing for me, even when I started playing myself. It wasn't until later, when I set my prejudices aside and I really sat down and listened to what they actually played, that I discovered what was going on. All those fills in between that if you don't pay attention, just fly by unnoticed. I have to say, though, that he kind of started milking that stuff later on, almost not leaving any space un"fill"ed. As much as those seemingly unnoticeable fills make the songs, the "no fills" do the same...
Got to see them live a couple of weeks ago. They killed it!
Yeah! Saw them live in Kuala Lumpur. Totally awesome man!
Finally! I learned 4/5 of these but the one after the breakdown is one I’ve really been looking to learn. Thank you man!
When it come to "classic GNR" it's always about Slash - If you go and listen to Izzy's rhythm parts you'll hear what a badass he is/was. Perfect example is the LIVE Like a Suicide songs on the 'LIES' ep - his rhythms are loose but very succinct and very RnR grooved ......
F'n right! It's really all about Izzy.
Fully agree man. They had a unique sound as a pair. The first time I heard “Ghost” I knew that Izzy was back...
Damn right man, Izzy is an amazing rhythm player. I love his scratch rhythm style a lot.
@@blairsiegel9547 What is Ghost? Have they released new material?? You're joshing me, right?!
Luey Sixty-six New Material? Sadly our luck is not that good. Ghost is the first track off Slash’s self titled 2010 solo album. He brought in guest performers, pretty much a different lineup for each track. Ghost features Izzy and Ian Astbury on vocals. Have a listen to it mate.
Wow... I need to listen much closer to that song.
For real dude.
What the fuck?
I never heard that before
@@MrMetalhorse and you will not, because there is non of that
@@Fils666 I don't know about every Lick in the video, but the lick he highlights is definitely in the song. It's long been one of my favorite parts of the song.
@@Fils666 They are there, listen closeley to the right side of the speaker
Mr. Metalhorse lol, shit as a guitar player and massive GNR fan for the past 30 years iam a failure
FINALLY!!!!!! Been struggling with THESE HIDDEN EXACT RIFFS forever!!! Great lesson man!!! Great work thank you!!
Been playing this song for 20 years and some of those licks i'd never heard. Nice job. Really cool to get to go back now and revisit this song with these new licks.
This is a great video. I appreciate that it isn't a standard guitar lesson video. You did some digging and opened up new sounds for us.
Isolated guitar tracks are gold for guitarists. I heard John Lennon's isolated guitar on "Good Morning Good Morning" and all Beatles fanatics were blown away by what we heard. John actually played a chord in his rhythm that no one had ever heard before. For fifty years no sheet music, no tab, no cover band ever got it right. John was doing something completely different.
I’ve heard these hidden licks, probably because I’ve mostly heard Welcome to the Jungle through headphones. And because I adore Guns N’ Roses 😎. Good stuff as always Uncle Ben 🤘🏽
LOL "sounds like a silent movie-era villain tying a woman to the train tracks..." A more perfect description for that lick can't possibly exist. Great lesson, Uncle Ben! Loving it like always! Can't wait to dig in to this one.
Slash always impresses in the nuance of a song. Pretty crafty! Thx Uncle Ben for bringing these licks to our ears!
Great stuff! Yes, please do Izzy's part.

Finally, someone who teaches lick 5.
The first lick I noticed he did live In Tokyo 1992 when the camera pans over to him playing It. I never heard It, but once I saw and and was listening for It, I always hear It
I never knew the second lick. I just Improved the first variant and just repeated It. But doesn't surprise me he changed up the licks verse to verse
This is great stuff man. I personally love the commentary about the theory behind it instead of just blatantly just giving us the notes. Its way more informational than other videos on youtube!
Uncle Ben...you have a God given talent for teaching...incredible the way you dissect these guitar parts and convey the information in a clear and concise manner!!!...thank you my brother!!!!
Weekend wankshop is one of the best things to happen to my playing. Thanks uncle Ben!👍
Izzy + Slash = perfect alchemy.
Thanks for the vid bro.
Hidden licks/things are what make a song a classic song.
I'm sure you could find a LOT in Slayer! ;)
BTW, this video is FAKE, you don't have curly hair! :)
As soon as you said end of the breakdown I knew which riff you were referring to. One of my all time favourites. Cheers for bringing attention to it!
Great lesson. Here’s a vote for Izzy’s part too.
thanks so much for the vid... i get to appreciate more on slash's groove in the songs... never noticed it... but probably we all unconsciously listened to it ... awesome
Just found yr channel, I subbed.
Thanks for breaking down "Jungle"
It takes a talented player to break down Slashs licks like this. It just shows how Slash was/is one of the best ,ever.
Amazing!! I've always been intrigued about these misterious licks!
Thanks for breaking this down. I was surprised to hear these as well when I heard the isolated track, but you took it to the next level by learning and teaching it to us. Something he plays in less than a second takes me over an hour to learn. Lol
Outstanding analysis, never heard it in the mix before! Thanks!
Your digging into the tracks is a thing of beauty.
These are pretty cool riffs to incorporate into your own playing. Thanks Ben,I'll dig into these this weekend!
I'm only about 4 minutes in but that riff EXACTLY is what I thought about when I got excited over this vid man! I've been hearing a lot of sneaky guitar work in this song once I got better IEMs and songs like these make it worthwhile
Nicely done man, I love stuff like this, hidden little gems from Slash you couldn't ask for more.
Keep on teaching buddy! You are a teacher at heart.
Awesome lesson never heard those either!! Your channel is one of my favs!
I always appreciate your ear for detail. Thanks for all this.
Really slick blues licks, I always knew they were there, but they were all mixed up with each other, and thats what makes the song rock so hard, is that its a "conundrum" or blues licks in the lower strings. Thank you for this vid.
Cool break down Ben
Thankz 4 sharing
Thanx for clearing up, Uncle Ben!👍
Wow .. amazing discovery! Incredible!
10:52 excellent analogy! Enjoyed this video, good work and keep rockin'
Good job on the breakdown, I didn't remembering hearing that. Thanks for doing all the hard work.
Awesome! I heard the song after watch you and i can hear these hidden licks! This song is fabulaos!
Great lesson, Uncle Ben. Thank you. Hugs from Brazil
Awesome bro! Like you I must have heard this tune thousands of times and never heard these little licks, that last one blows me away!! Super cool, thanks!
Pretty cool! Thanks for the video. I can play this song now I will learn these licks
Yeah I’ve heard these licks for the most part mostly because I’ve heard the song so so many times and I listen with headphones a lot. Slash and Izzy were a great compliment to each other and played a lost form of rock. Wish we could get that back. Great explanation on this video man. Very well done.
It’s incredible how you can hear a song TONS of times throughout your life, and still one day notice neat little things you hadn’t heard before.
I've been trying to figure out lick 4 for YEARS! THANK YOU haha!
Thank you so much! I was trying to find tabs or lessons about that licks for a long long time!
Ive heard that last lick too!! I was shocked, got chills, and couldnt believe this lick was there. It's so good!
you're teaching style is great, so easy to understand, thank you
Hey man. Props for putting the timestamps in the video for the licks. You don't see that very often and I appreciate it.
That’s really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Ben, great stuff as always.
Great Tone.
Great Lesson.
Great Guy.
GREAT, I've been looking for a video that explains this for a long time
Man I've been meaning to learn these little licks between the main riffs but to try and do it by ear is tough with the original track. This is literally the perfect video. Thanks man, good job.
That was dope, Uncle Ben! 🤙 You're a good teacher - really easy to follow.
Slash had (has) such killer groove in his blood, man. And you can't teach or learn that!
Great job! Thank you very much! I like how you break it down note for note. Thats exactly what i was looking for. Subscribed!
I’d never noticed those as well. Great post!
Again awesome uncle Ben! thanks so much
Nicely done. I had always heard those bits, especially since he often adds licks at those places live but never really twice the same, but you really broke them down great.
This was really cool man. I’m a huge GnR fan and I thought I would recognize all the riffs but you surprised me. Nice work.
Great lesson. Good job.
Good shit! Strangely I have heard that last crazy diminished run but never really picked out the third verse runs. I Really enjoy your content.
heard a few of these over the years, but like you said it was almost impossible to find someone who had done a lesson/tabs on them
Thanks for the awesome video sir =)
Wow, man!! Super nice video.
I'm a huge Slash fan and I liked a lot to hear those riffs.
Cheers from Brazil! 🤘🏻🎸🔥
This was really interesting. Thanks!
whenever you listen to isolated tracks it's always amazing all the stuff you hear that you had no idea was there. even if you yourself are a musician and you've heard the tune a million times.
THE BEATLES are especially good for that.
Great video, definitely never noticed that last lick.
Great video. Great playing on your part. Your setup sounds monster!
Wow, never noticed these either. Had fun playing them through! Thank you so much for great content! Back to work on my new guitar channel coming soon...
Wow. Really interesting. I'm going to have to give those licks a try. Brilliant man. Thanks.
Great lesson!!! Thanks
I imagine Iron Maiden's got a bunch of rad "buried in the mix" parts to uncover.
But hey Ben, I'm still hungry for some Death Angel lessons, and no one will oblige... are you up to the challenge?
Totally.
Specially in somewhere in time.
Seemingly Endless Time!
Hell yeah that would be cool
Brilliant video!!!! Keep 'em coming.....
Definitely want to see that Izzy video 👍👍👍
Jackpot man! Thanks for this. Big help! Cheers 🍻
Uncle Ben nails it!!!
Thanks Ben - way cool lesson on licks I've never heard before in this tune either - well done vid and idea for a lesson !! Just found your channel and I subscribed right away - I like that you seem like a humble and patient teacher that truly wants to help others play better - thanks and rock on !!
That was rad!!! Izzy PLEASE! Rhythm playing is KING!
WoW!!
This sweats rock’n’roll, booze and unauthorized but heavily digested stuff.
Thanks !
I love this channel! 🤘🏻
O man i appreciate this. It took me a long time before i noticed these licks in the song and always wanted to learn them. Thank you so much. I feel like they made slash’ rhythm much quieter in the mix so izzy could shine as slash had most of the solos.
That's amazing playing dude! Cheers for picking these out and sharing them with us.
I bought the Appetite for Destruction tab book in 2000 with my first electric guitar, an Epiphone Les Paul and not one of those licks are in the book. I've since noticed through advanced RUclips guitarists and live footage being readily available, how wrong a lot of the tabs are in that book. Really cool to see the songs broken down like this.
Love this kinda stuff!
