I'm really amazed at how many great guitarists that are commenting here who I've never heard of...
The only person that’s allowed to play Sweet Child O’Mine at Guitar Center
Yo toco lo que se me pegue la gana
Si quiero toco stairway to heaven y todos se callan
Me la pelan
@@jjbvcghhgghbjjbb6065 can you type this where others can read it
Yeah but if he plays stairway to heaven he’s outta there
Some people are just born for this
actually, slash took music theory in high school, i read his biography, oh and he tuaght himself how to play songs on 1 string, because his guitar had only 1 string....read his book, it explanes a lot
playing on 1 string does not make you a great guitar player. it makes you the opposite, you can make it sound good but its never going to be anything above mediocre.
Japanese have an instrument w/one string don't they?
I've been playing alone for 25 years , no wonder I suck
I TOTALLY agree. When I jam and solo I go all over the neck and never stay in a certain scale or key. There are no rules, only boundaries. And I always try to stretch those boundaries when I play.
It rarely works but then again, I am mortal, slash is god!
i warm up with this process
1.the unforgiven solo(it's a good mix of speed and rhythym)
2.play as slow as i can and then as fast as i can
3.then i play a solo of fingertapping,hammerons,and pulloffs. with no right hand work.
4.play a clean solo with some chords mixed in
5.the big finish i practice the master of puppets to loosen up my wrists
I realize all these comments are from years ago, but if you listen to him NOW, not just guitar riffs, but just to him personally talking, he's totally different than when he was an addict. Very personable, very honest, and better than ever as a guitarist! HELLO!
Why is Dana Carvey interviewing Slash?
Knowing Slash or Guns N Roses in general, I somehow lol’d reading the disclaimer at the start of this video... 😂
"...alright, ask me a smart question." I can only imagine what happened before this.
Awesome Slash
@Mikssk8 no i would show him some resepct e´when he talks.
Girls scream when they see justin bieber.
You dont yell if u see slash dude
he 's a great man!!!!!!!!
I love slash
Theory IS important. You may not know it, but what you call "hearing and feeling" is just subconscious applied theory. Usually when youre playing you know what will sound good or bad, and that is stuff theory explains.
The thing about theory is knowing the tools you have to improvise, or compose. Just add some theory to your feeling and hearing, and your playing will improve a lot. Theory exists so that you know exactly why a riff or a solo sounds as cool as it sounds...
from a theoretical perspective, solos are all about tension and release. Some notes are consonant w/ the underlying chords, and some are disonant. notes that are good for this are on a scale for a given key, but you can play with the sound and hit some notes out of the scale to REALLY pump tension and so on. HOWEVER, there are plenty of blues players who loosely know classical harmonies, but play so much that they instinctively know which notes make tension and which resolve. For instance: Jimi
@MiMiN91 exactly.. any real person would be completely silent and listen... it's like being in the presence of Hendrix or SRV
Kido even slash needs warm up
Every guitarist needs warm up man
@@qorisuwendo yeah, thats me with picking, i need to warmup with a 1.5 mm pick then switch to a lighter. then i can pick insanely fast after that, it makes me use my wrist faster.
the real drive is always the love of music!!!!
Yeah, well back then there was guys like McLaughlin running around that were technically, musically, from an educated stand point that were better than Hendrix, but he was just breaking ground and doing things that no one did, but it's actually pretty easy to copy Hendrix if you put enough time into it. Hendrix was taking latin/jazz/rock/blues, and throwing in experimentation that was unique that went beyond just playing.
Many Guitarist have toped Jimi Hendrix (please don't think im being disrespectful to Jimi) guitar has evolved a lot since then so have players, styles tricks, Jimi changed music to make way for evoloution, just like iommi back in their day it was amazing now it is medicore talkent as you say and you can say slash said he isn't the best guitarist well I seem to remember Jimi saying the same think!
Oh, and by the way, saving the distance, I work as a butcher, the kind that has to help people and give advice about cooking, and best cuts for the meal they're gonna cook. I wouldn't treat someone that doesn't know shit about foods the same way they do in GC about whatever costumer asks. I give the same respect I want to receive.
And I agree with u about GC and SamAsh. GC is way better, and save for the people that works there, the place rocks.
I don't know why you think that howhard it is has anyting to do with the qulity example is voodoo child! great sounding pretty simple to play
yeah, he doesnt have that much music theory, but its something, and it helped him make awesome songs.....
That's because Slash is part of a generation that pays homage to them (the names you listed) Slash is still a very young Generation of guitarists compared to Page Clapton Beck etc. name me a list of great guitar player that have come out in the last 10 years that have been in rock bands that's not emo
@IngtogBas
I'm pretty sure it's his signature amp
yes I play guitar i have been playing for 2 and a half years...
yes it is, you can't change my opinion !
Show Gostei 🏴☠️⚡🏴☠️ Antigo
.
Look most of the names you listed exept McLaughlin I listen too I listen to what ever I like, if it sounds good I will listen to it
@A7XGreatness
I actually agree with you there.....
im gonna try that warm up "TheRandomvidstv" that sounds like a good warm up..i wont do it the same cuz thats urs but somethin close to it
@IngtogBas marshall jcm 800 i think, it's a jcm anyway
Who is the other guy?
@jimmyearl i think theory and feeling are both important. i mean like knowing your scales extremely well but don't know when to bend wont sound so good. but at teh same time, not knowing theory at all, will sound even worse!
@Jamsessionfreak ... You should know what you're talking about before you post it, I read you're comment and i thought to myself.."Hmm " Then i watched your videos (drenched in distortion) and that backs up my point here, people thinking their wise but they dont know the first thing about composing a piece of music. Think slash just went with the feel all of his career? I don't think so....music theory is THEE most important thing when composing...The second is knowing where the gain control is.
In some respects technically wise, but innovative wise, about the only one that took playing to a completely different level was McLaughlin since he actually has mastered more genres of music and blended them together beyond anyone else's capabilites. The guys like Vai, Malmsteen, etc. are technically faster, etc. but they aren't innovative and putting out classic material that will last the test of time. Hendrix, 50 years later, is STILL relevant to any upcoming guitar player.
How about Holdsworth?
You have some disagreement that won't be solved there. Slash for me playing with pure feeling and most people doesn't have that. He got the riffs and solo just spontaneous out of his feeling. Might not be so good for other people. But believed me, he is a good guitar player. Don't say that he cannot play others song. And I never heard anybody playing sweet child o mine as good as he is. You just won't get the same feeling and the same sound. Thanks anyway....
they're just a could challenge to play there stuff. it's pointless to warm up with nirvana cuz that stuff doesn't have any challenge to it, well to me at least. but anything challenging, i'll practice the "slither" riff sometimes
Why on earth would you judge one's intelligence on how much money they have, or even how famous or successful. Nikki Manaj might have more money and be more famous (at least to certain demographics), but I don't think you'd argue that it makes her a great composer either.
slash writes his songs
nobody tells him what to play!
Check out slash's blues ball. He really rips it up-This man can fucking play-These situations make him uncomfortable.
Your COOL man@@!
@hoang1428 You OWN MAN!
"just do it".... +1
monsters in the background XD
@MiMiN91 Hey man c'moon, if you were there and saw Slash, wouldn't you yell?
@hoang1428 gotta get that picking hand ready somehow ;P
what amp's he playing on ?
A marshal
1st comment sweet
Look im not gonna reply after this its wasting both our times bottom line slash is a great player and as for media hyped your making no sense, guitar world isn't media hype he isn't on mtv or any of that shit is he! also if your so educated why are you not famous or an isperational guitarist hasn't gotten you any place your just sitting on your computer bitching about a very acouplished guitarist and using other great guitarist against him just stop your points are invalid we are not in the 60's
Holy shit, somebody really doesn't like Slash lol
Oneness 100. Congratulations for being the first guy to actually have a literal rag 😂😂
confused
@Mikssk8 yes but maybe there were girls there too:P
@hoang1428 i bitchslap my wall for 5 mins, then shreds o_O
Well, back in the 60's, they didn't have other guys like Hendrix to copy, they were listening to the original blues, jazz and earlier rock guys, so they had to develop something new and that's why that stuff is STILL great 50 years later. The crap that Slash and the others are spitting out aren't destined to become classics on the same level. They just don't have the sophistication, Slash doesn't really LISTEN and STUDY music. Slash doesn't really listen to jazz, classical, etc.
@joinmyteam Girls scream, I mean yell, like "Yeah!" something like that, not like a girl ;)
Your going on about theory like its a fucking gcse slash has theory, also having theory dosnt make it pure or unpure
@realguitarist07
you are so wrong
Syn gates owns slash
A human being. Why does that matter?
@hoang1428 LOL!!!
EVH is decent, but he's not at the same caliber as McLaughlin, Beck, etc. Tons of copy bands can mimic EVH close enough to pass as a tribute band to play high school gigs to impress the little children. I used to play in a cover band playing that shit in the late 70's playing all of the classic rock shit, but it got REAL fucking boring. Van Halen was just coming out back then, but he was OK, but their music is actually fairly easy to do, even all girl rock bands were covering Van Halen music
your comments are real boring
Well that's 2:40 of an uninspirational waist of time.
lol..."just make shit up!!"
is it just me, or does anybody else find this interviewer cheesy?
Slash admits he's not that evolved of a player. He just spent time early one learning other guitar players licks rather than actually studying music, music theory. I've seen a lot of top players in my life and Slash does copy a lot of licks. He copies licks from other bigger names in the Industry dating back from the 60's.
Slash will NEVER top Jimi Hendrix as the worlds best rock guitarist. EVER. Even Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Santana, and plenty of others will always top Slash.
Don't you realize that when Marshall, GIbson, etc. put out SLASH products, they do a whole media hype campaign where he goes to Guitar Center, all of the ROCK related magazines use him on the front cover to do some STUPID article and then the onslaught of ads from Marshall, GIbson, etc. because the advertisers are promoting SLASH, so they coordinate everything to be released at the same time to maximize PROMOTING SLASH to the little children so they can go run out and buy his named shit.
6 people are wankers !
no lol
Some players study licks and some actually get behind the theory and the real meat of what music is all about. Rock is actually has a LOT to do with blues, which Slash has studied, but jazz, classical, latin, funk/R&B, Indian, Country and even African, which Slash is kind of well, hasn't done. The melody lines of the classic songs and playing styles are from those that develop a very unique style/sound that's based on their studies in these areas, which every they may be. Slash lacks maturity
Slash isn't listened to by the top players. Guys like Beck, Clapton, Page, Santana, all of these greats have looked UP to McLaughlin, where they don't even pay Slash any attention because he's got NOTHING to offer those great and unique players. The metal guys, most of them play the same shit and there are no classic melody lines, not much originality other than focusing on trying to impress the little kids with gimmicks, speed and stage presence.
Keep talking bullshit while staying irrelevant
The newer guys have speed and technique and know ALL of the licks and gimmicks to get people's attention, but they are breaking ground, they just kind blend into one big pot of BS. They don't have compositions that are going to be a classic. Vai, Malmsteen, etc. they spit out BS material which is too mechanical, too technical and not destined to become a classic. it's just not in the cards. Who the Fuck is going to put out a Malmsteen Tribute album other just some imitator? Slash?
EVH? He's decent player, looks UP to guys like McLaughlin, Clapton, Beck, Hendrix, because he grew up on those players, but he's doing similar to what Slash is doing in that they are creating more commercial music to sell records. The problem is the more knowledge and background STUDYING music of different styles, like jazz, blues, classical, indian, latin, funk, R&B, etc. yields more to draw from. But EVH's playing gets old, he is doing basically the same thing for commercial appeal.
Useless interview where he said nothing and did nothing
Do you know how many hours a day Slash was more concerned with how to get more drugs and alcohol than to sit down and study music and to listen and understand music theory? Slash is basically at a level that high school kids are at in terms of understanding music theory, he just has more stage and studio experience, that's all. But in terms of musicianship, VERY small amount. He's knows certain licks, but that's easy to figure out, but to actually study theory, and understand REAL music? NOPE.
Warm ups? How about playing every scale, every mode, every chord and every time signature. That was a pathetic scale. VERY poorly executed.
Composition? He doesn't write compositions, he writes songs. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Oneness100 if ur so much better why aren’t u on there instead of him?
You fucking suck
@@Jay-uv5xg it doesnt matter what scale you use as long as it fits and you can use it correctly.
ZERO!!! That is what I learned from slash!
+Arnold Egret Because that's like asking Van Gogh how to paint. You're not gonna be able to do it, just enjoy his.
pleaseeeeeeeeeee... I am so bored.. when people talk about slash, is always about sweet child o mine... yes its riff is nice but not that special... you guys have to look out many more stuffs..
He can't remember what he played and he has difficulties keeping track of key changes? I wonder why. Slash is a beginner that's just experience playing on stage and in the studio and this hyped to make him look like a ROCK GOD. HOW FUCKING PATHETIC.
Lol A.K.A. Your not good enough to play jazz.
Guitar World is the MEDIA. Go pull out when Slash is on the cover and see how many ads he's in. Then count the number of pages dedicated to ads vs articles that are worth reading. You'll typically find mostly ads..
SLOSH IS JUST MEDIOCRE AND YOU sound VERY similar to a Justin Bieber fan that thinks that Justin is greatest singer in the world.
Top players have done remakes of classic Hendrix songs and did them their own way. Who the F is going to remake a Slash song that's a reputable guitar player? do you think Jeff Beck, Santana, Clapton, McLaughlin DiMeola is going to remake a Slash song? FUCK NO. NOT ENOUGH SUBSTANCE. It's not just playing riffs, it's creating music worth listening to, studying for years to come. Slash's shit become old quickly. 40 years from now? Yeah, he won't get top players remaking his crap.
He might have made memorable solos which he can't repeat onstage..and,he wasnt able to influence anyone, just ask the younger generations.i can remember him as a great poser onstage and lacks discipline on playing the guitar.everyone on Gun's n Roses has to catch up on his every time he do the solo.he might fumble
I am a young boy and i am inspired by slash dude....He is the one because of whom i picked up the guitar...
I was at their recent concert, and even 30 years later, they still sounded amazing and slash played everything perfectly including a 10 minute solo leading into the godfather theme leading into sweet child o mine. He made everything look so effortless.
lowball direct Biggest pile of bullshit I've ever read, seen, or heard
Go make a riff that sounds like anasthasia and make it famous untill then you dont have rights to tell that. NOOB.
I seriously call bullshit. Slash was the reason I picked up a guitar 10 years ago and still play to this day. All of my guitarist friends say they were influenced by him to some degree, too.
