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!

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.

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.

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.

@johncollins5552 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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!

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

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!!

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.

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
