Slash style licks lesson for beginners/intermediates PART 2 (from a non pro player😮)ns

  • Many people seemed to appreciate the first slash style licks video I did and have requested additional licks and instruction. Please keep in mind that I’m just a regular guy who works and has a family, I’m not a pro guitar player, do not pretend to be an expert, and don’t know all the music theory. I’m just an advanced intermediate to lower level advanced (I guess) player who has been working on this slash style the last couple of years.
    This is a long video so if you want a 5 minute video with no talking and a dude shedding your face off this is not the video for you. But if you’re just starting to get into blues / rock lead and dig slash then this should help you.
    In this vid I focus on playing with attitude and feel through use of pre-bends, micro bending, half-step bends, double stops and the like. Lots of repetition, close up, for those (like me) who learn guitar best by sight (visual learning).
    Doing this for fun so please be respectful.
    Peace ✌️ 🤘🏼🎸n

    Slash style licks part 2. This is a long video so if you want a short 5 minute video with very little talking this is not the video for you. As an upper level intermediate I’m also on the guitar learning journey. I’m just trying to help people who are also trying to crack this slash style code. Please be respectful. Rude comments will be deleted. 🤘🏼🎸

    Can I just say once more, thank you. Have confidence in yourself, ignore the haters. I have found learning from "pros" can be frustrating. Nice when people can remember how hard it is advancing or starting out. That perspective really can be helpful, thanks again kind sir

      Thanks again for the generous comment and you are quite welcome. Yea, working on the confidence part. I’m not quite this insecure in “real life” ha, but this is my first venture into the world of RUclips instruction and trying to communicate to a large audience, so it might take a little time to settle into that role. But I’m glad it’s useful to some people. As I said I really like the way brett papa teaches and I kept searching for someone who taught slash lessons in a similar manner. Never found it, most guys just go too fast and start mixing it up too fast and I spend a lot of time watching their vids at 50 to 25 % just to extract one lick idea. It’s rather taxing. So I was just trying to offer people the type of thing I’m looking for myself. I think having the close up cam helps too. For me anyway. Thanks again man!

    Really enjoyed this. I think the most important thing people get wrong about slash and most famously guitar players is the fact that they have a underline blues feeling. I think you teach this very well and it needs to be taught more. To truly learn a players style, learn they're blues feeling they play with. Thanks very much

    • @slashtrio
      @slashtrio  11 месяцев назад +1

      Very good point, I completely agree. I have definitely seen some guys on RUclips covering slash stuff, and sometimes I’m impressed with how fast they play things or how they managed to hit all the notes, yet I’m left feeling like something was missing and despite their technical skills I’m not envious of their overall playing. They are just lacking the “feel”, maybe their vibrato is not so good, or the bend out of tune a lot, and stuff like that. Definitely takes away something essential.

Are there any of jakobs that would fit particularly what I’m after or are they a mixture, I gather each one is 30 minutes . I’ll ask him on the Facebook page another day,he’s probably gigging seeing as it’s the weekend . Have you seen those collaborations from the slash signature guitar page I love how all those guys flow & get those notes to sound so Slashy . Cheers Paul

    These are the most instructive, well explained slash videos I've found. As you mentioned they are some outrageously good players out there who all capture that "slash vibe" that i think a lot of us are after, but maybe arent as effective at slowing and breaking it down in a lesson. These lessons hit just at the right level, thank you

    • @slashtrio
      @slashtrio  9 месяцев назад

      Thanks man, I appreciate the kind and thoughtful comment. Yea, there are a handful of slash guys out there who really nail his style (the late gsharp being my personal favorite) but also Jakob and laszlo. I certainly aspire to play like gsharp, dude had the blues chops in addition to slash, which is what I like (I’m a fan of SRV, old Clapton, Hendrix too). But yea, some of these RUclips lessons go by so fast that I found myself having to watch all of it in slow motions, and even then sometimes getting frustrated because maybe the players didn’t repeat the same phrase (added variation too quickly) or maybe the camera wasn’t close enough to really see what the fingers were doing. I’m a big fan of Brett Papa’s lessons (I have even purchased some) and I like his teaching approach. He always constructs a lick passage or phrase and then repeats it at various speeds and then breaks down each lick within the phrase. I learn things way faster that way. So I guess that was part of my motivation, albeit I am not a player of that caliber and I don’t have the production or video editing skills ha. So it’s an iPhone and a one take! But I think some people seem to be digging it which is awesome. Thanks again ! 🎸👍🏼🤘🏼

    With the pre bend stuff, as another trick you can do it the Trey Anastasio way and it’s almost an insta bend instead of a pre bend. It sounds cool but you snap your finger down the instant you hit the string and you’ll notice that ‘Trey’ sound immediately. It’s another way to add a different start to the Slashy runs. Just something I’ve picked up over the years that’s nice and simple and sounds cool. Thanks for uploading, I like watching how other ppl play this type of stuff.

      @@bluesman75 hey good to hear for you. I’ll be 50 next month 👴🏻. Yea I was into GnR in 9th grade or so I learned some of the songs on AFD, or at least the best I could back then. I got into SRV in college and then kind of stopped playing electric lead guitar for many many years. I oily got back into it on 2019 or so I went back to learn some of those old GnR songs I could never play before. But you’re right, slash is basically playing blues guitar most of the time, just like page, Hendrix and SRV, just over different chords, a bit more distortion, and with a slight bit of 80s weedle thrown in. I personally like to blend his souls with guys like Clapton and Hendrix. But yea man, glad you stopped by. If you liked this one I have several other lessons of this type on my page. Put up a new one a few days ago, definitely more blues style. Thanks again 🎸👍🏼🤘🏼

Same with ZZ Top, I was a kid in the 80s so I associated them with their 80s stuff. But in more recent years I have grown to appreciate a lot of classic rock and really enjoy some Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, and 70s ZZ Top. I also really dig those first couple of Lynyrd Skynyrd albums, some great lead guitar playing there-lots of mixing major and minor pentatonic.

I’m a pretty humble guy so the idea of trying to teach people how to play seems presumptuous a little, especially since there are so many exceptional players on RUclips. But thanks man and I’m sure I’ll continue to get more confident and comfortable the more I do it. I think part of it too is that I’m a bit of a perfectionist with certain things, and I don’t always have time to plan these things out too much in advance and kind of wing it a bit. I need to learn how to video edit! This is all one take so sometimes I worry I’m going on too long on some things and going too fast on others.

I’m still pretty new to trying to do lessons so it’s tricky to know how much to include in each one. I’m trying to hammer in (hammer on - pun ha) a couple of concepts or phases at a time.
      Regarding mixing major and minor like slash, that’s something I have been working on a lot but not quite sure I’m at a point where I could teach that so well, but maybe at some point I can share some basics. I would highly recommend the video I’m posting below. It’s exactly how I approach mixing major and minor to get that slashy / blues style with attitude. I literally learned from this guy so I don’t think I can do any better than him. Give it a try. 👍🏼🎸

I became obsessed with Les Paul’s and wanted those old flame tops (replicas) so bad. My dad got me a sunburst (which I still have ) but have since acquired a few more 🎸🤘🏼

      Thanks man, I appreciate the positive feedback and support. I’m glad you find any of this useful / helpful. Yea I got really into the blues in college (a long time ago ha) and was really into SRV and some of clapton’s struff (mostly from the cradle and his stuff with the blues breakers) so I worked a lot on getting the blues feel with all the bends, tugs, and vibrato. I didn’t even consciously practice such things back then but was just imitating what I saw / heard. In recent years I have been much more cognizant of vibrato style and made even more effort to get to where I like. Brett papa actually has free stuff on RUclips where he goes over this kind of thing. I really dig his vibrato, probably my favorite. Slash’s vibrato is a bit more unpredictable. I like the way it sounds on the albums but sometime live (especially now) it a bit too fast for my taste. But yea, keep working at it. I think some of if comes down to how one holds the neck and using the wrist. That’s definitely a difficult one to teach (for me anyway). Thanks again 👍🏼🎸🎸

    Around 9:37 or so you're doing a couple of bends, I think what you're doing is, one, you're bending the 4th up to the flat five a bunch, and second, you're bending the minor 3rd almost to the major 3rd ... kind of mixing major/minor, kind of an exaggerated "blues curl" ... in case you're looking for words to describe what you're doing, maybe mentioning scale degrees in addition to pentatonic positions you already mention might be a place to start. Great lessons, btw, g-sharp and lazlo always seemed to blaze through a little too quickly without enough repetitions and without talking about where they are in the scale imho, so you're more my speed.

      @@StephenCameron hey man, I appreciate that technical info! I have been playing a while now but learned most of my fundamentals as a kid, very much by ear, practice, and intuition (as opposed to proper lessons). I never read tabs growing up and always tended to improvise blues stuff. But as a more patient adult I’m definitely more interested in learning a bit more about the technical side of thing. Sounds like you know what you’re talking about. I have definitely learned a lot over the last few years from watching lots of RUclips guys, particularly some course I got from Brett Papa. And yea, Gsharp and laszlo are excellent blues rock players in general and at the slash style in particular. But I have had some frustrated moments trying to learn from their vids due to them going too fast and not repeating enough. Unfortunately G is no longer with us. Seemed like a cool guy, would have loved to take some lessons from him. Not sure what’s up with Laszlo. He hasn’t posted new stuff in a years or two and seems to have lost his gear! He’s definitely a great player. At any rate, glad I can contribute in some way to people trying to work on this style. Thanks again 👍🏼🎸

      @@slashtrio I really only barely and only recently know what I'm talking about a little bit. When I learned the pentatonic, for some reason, I decided to learn the "blues" scale, which has the flat 5 in it, which conveniently adds this little chromatic run in the middle of the pentatonic scale, and the flat 5 is this obvious landmark in the middle of that run. And then you notice there are these common bends that appear, one of which is the 4th to the flat 5. Another is bending the minor 3rd up a bit is that kinda snarly blues curl. I'm still working on learning, but found that thinking in terms of scale degrees and nashville numbering for chords instead of note names helps a lot in making sense of it all on the guitar. I think you know more than I do, or in any case are a much better player than I am. I just commented because I noticed you mentioned you didn't necessarily have the words to describe what you're doing, and I think maybe what you're missing is scale degrees (the note number within the scale). There are these very common types of bends (cliches, almost, but cliches for a reason) and so on which are probably best described in terms of scale degrees. And then this translates to the various pentatonic shapes easily (as opposed to fret numbers, etc.) OTOH, beginners may not be comfortable with this sort of thing, and be like, "just gimme the tab!" and you've got to satisfy your audience.

      @@StephenCameron cool man. Yea for me it’s like I was doing a lot of this stuff before I had any kind of knowledge of the theory. I have been doing the flat 5 and blues scale since I got into SRV in college in the 90s, but I had no intellectual or theoretical understanding, it was all based on learning by ear and just copying what I saw guys doing. But yea in the last couple of years I have taken little courses and learned about the flat 5 and leaning all the pentatonic boxes and most of the major pentatonic as well. I still tend to learn best by just watching guys show licks and phrases but taking the time to understand things more deeply definitely helps your playing too. Always more to learn 🤓🎸

      @@prod.fin- that’s cool man. Have you played a les Paul? Probably good to play a couple first to make sure you like the feel. I have never really played jags but actually played one a couple days ago at a guitar store. I’m more of an LP and strat guy. But yea, if there is a guitar store near you maybe try a few. And keep in mind the ones on guitar store may or may not play well depending on how long they have been sitting there with old strings that every guy has been handling. Almost every guitar I played at the store I went to felt terrible, sticky, and grimy ha. Not smooth. But most people find a good LP to be pretty easy to play.

      @@ciachetti hello, thanks for stopping by. What level player are you? I’m not sure how many of my lesson videos you have watched but I have several where I repeat the same lick or phrase many times at various speeds. So I think if you look at some other videos you’ll find some that have more of what you’re looking for. It also helps to watch at slower speeds on RUclips as well. That’s what I do when I watch videos by gsharp and laszlo. They go much faster than me and add more variation more quickly. If you look at lessons number 3, 6, 8, 10, and 11 I think you will see more repetition and slower speeds.
      I don’t do tabs at all. I have never even used them myself since I began playing. The idea of writing all that out seems quite tedious. I realize some people learn that way but I think if you just watch and play along you’ll be able to pick it up. Thanks again 🎸👍🏼

      Funny you should mention that lick / pattern, as I just started uploading an old VHS video lesson from the 80s where the guy does this pattern. It’s really where I learned it! It’s basically paradise city kind of vibes. I’m just doing in B as opposed to G and then I do a little variation toward the end of the lick. Check this out;
