    i swear this is better than searching for slash style licks because with this you actually get to know the technique behind those licks. probably the best slash video on youtube.

    After watching Slash videos he always mentions playing along to movie themes and what ever he’s watching. I believe he gets a lot of his melodic motifs from this. I’m really trying to create a motif in my solos instead of just shredding, or mindless playing of notes. Once again loving your videos.

  • @JanneKuronen
    @JanneKuronen 4 года назад +7

    This is seriously one of the most informative guitar videos I've ever seen, especially knowing the fact that Slash was one of the guitarists who made me start learning guitar. I seem to use some of his techniques subconsciously in my improvisations and compositions as well.

    Please do one on Dave Mustaine. He has quite a lot, his riffing abilities are godly, different palm mutes, down-picking, economy picking, alternate picking, mixing all of them, he adds in legato in riffs, a few weird chords, arpeggiating.
    He's rich solo wise too, other than the super fast pentatonics, he uses a lot of chromatics, sometimes a harmonic minor scale, and, his solos are quite memorable. That's the best way to put it.

      No you idiot, he would be like that's cute, but you forgot this mode, that scale, this vibrato, that hammer on, this pull off, this bend, etc!
      Of course, any sane man would agree Slash has more knowledge of guitar theory than this art of guitar guy, who seems to know more than most of us here.

      @Woody991 4 года назад +30

      Slash would appreciate the analysis. When he started out though he just did what sounded cool and didn’t know much of the theory. Knows a bit more now but he would def appreciate this analysis.

    • @johnulcer
      @johnulcer 4 года назад +14

      @@ashu7pathak Not so sure about that. I absolutely love Slash but I think he's pretty open about his lack of theory. I think he learned his sound by playing in the style of his heroes such as Joe Perry without really delving into the theory behind it.

    Well so far so good. This is the 3rd or 4th video I've watched. Saw the Slash video & that had to be next because yes, he's also one of my favorites. I'm going to go see him at his Slash - Serpent Festival in July. I'm looking forward to it. I still haven't seen him with the Conspirators but I definitely will. Was thinking the very first time I heard a Gibson Les Paul & thought wow, that sounds really good. I think it was Gary Richrath from REO. Before they became more ballad oriented, they really used to rock. Gary always had that adorable smile showing all of us how much he loved to play. I loved this & I learned a lot. For me, when Slash plays it's like his guitar is singing. Does that make sense? Don't know how else to express what I hear. Thank you...

    Another great video by you. Slash is my favorite musician and this was a great run down of his style. Also, I’ve heard it called “woman tone”, the neck pickup with tone rolled down. Maybe because the tone is soft and smooth?

    • @leestriplin554

    That guitar sounds awesome! Which amp are you using? How can I get that sound?

  • @TristanJCumpole
    @TristanJCumpole 2 года назад

    I call the neck pickup tone of the Les Paul with a PAF a "tubular" sort of timbre. My #1 is an old Ibanez S with a SD'59 in the neck and it really nails that tubular solo tone. I also wired the tone pot so that it acts _only_ on the neck pickup. Perfect for that sweet blooming sustain.

    • @BigTyronie
      @BigTyronie Год назад

      Its a rounder, more vocal tone. I like to think of it as singing sustain when its used in conjunction with a high gain amp.

  • @w6fdo
    @w6fdo 4 года назад
