he laughs every time he says the words "learning to play guitar" :P

Such an inspiring and down to earth guy

All you need is just a little patience :)

About aspiring guitarists... Its not just practice, you can have musical geniouses playing 8 hours a day in their basement and they never achieve more than local gigs... Slash had charisma and he also had stage power. His techniques relied solely on the knowledge of scales and not difficult ones at that. His riffs are simple and catchy and some are extremely difficult to perform but not awe inspiring. The reason he was such a success is because the moment slash took up his guitar he outshaded even Axl in live performances. Everything about him, his posture, the hat, a smoke in his mouth signaled rebellion to the young who were, just like today caught up in a loopholes of their life. Seeing someone who does just something he loves all day and doesnt give a single fuck made them believe and dream. And it was all achieved by the presence that was Slash on stage.

I started to play guitar after listening to Slash playing in Guns N' Roses. It was love at first time :))

rumor has it that Slash keeps a mouse in his hat or hair that tells him what to do like Ratatoullie

Thank you for existing Slash.

when I heard slash playing especially anasthesia and sweet child o mine solo.....I was sold...I picked up the guitar n maan it is the best thing ever happened to my fucked up life....inspiration forever

Thank you mr Slash for giving this girl a good feeling about learning guitar, sometimes people make stupid downputting remarks or look at you funny, but hearing you say its ok, really is a confidence builder.

This dude practiced endlessly as a kid, that's why he's the goat

Slash u are the reason I started to play guitar. I hope to meet u one day have a good one sir.

Slash can make a Guitar cry , sing and he makes a guitar get into your soul. I'm 66. I've played 6 different instruments and loved ever one. But Slash is the best EVER. God Bless Slash

I very nearly gave up on playing guitar because I couldn't find any songs that I WANTED to be able to play, but Slash kind of inspired me to keep going and I am now hoping to form my own band at some point in the future

Slash is the best. Full stop

Slash , man I love you , you are like the father I never had . You're a great person , I realized it reading your autobiography , and I recommand it to all Guns N Roses fans , and all Slash fans ! One Love from France

Hey, I absolutely IDOLIZE you, Slash. I'm turning 14 in June and I would really love it if I could meet you. I understand you are probably very busy and there is a very slim chance of this happening but it would really be AMAZING! It's fine if you can't make it but I figured I would put it out there. Thank you for your time! 😄

Slash, you're a cool laid back dude.

Slash, Slash, Slash you are the best lead guitarist I have ever heard.Love from India,Kolkata

Slash, thank u very much for your music, thank u for being a good person. From more than 20 years, your music has been helping me in the difficult times of my life. You are a kind of big brother to me and my admiration for your sound is the reason because I started to learn to play the guitar, 20 years ago. Thank u very much for your legendary music my brother. God bless you.

Slas. You are the only reason made me to pick up a 100$ Les Paul and made me to learn guitar. Now I'm the hero of my locality. Thanks a lot. Love you

This is so insightful

Okay I've watched this over and over when I had a minor breakdown because of my bad skills. And it's kinda calming and encouraging.. :)

Un grande del rock. Saludos desde Argentina. De uno de los miles que hay en este maldito país. Suerte Slash.

Thanks Slash. I struggle a bit,but all good musicians struggle at times. thanks again.

He has such a soft voice for his image. 🐐 🐐 🐐

Practice, practice! Love to play and have fun.

Its important to practice efficiently though. To always be challenging yourself and grinding scales and practice drills.

Slash is the first guitarist I ever heard and saw live in concert gnr was the first band I ever listened to I was around 4 or 5 gnr is the band that introduced me to rock the night I went to there concert which was last year was the happiest day of my life and if I could talk to slash or axl or anyone From the band I would want to say thanks you for everything you did for me growing up

love you, slash!

Yes at first i was only playing fingetstyle exclusively, but am now branching to solos and improvisation

great to see questions i ask myself echoed by other musicians and to hear excellent replies from the man himself. not quittubg. Ever.Slash you're awesome come back to ireland/Belfast! :p

Guitar playing is a journey not a destination. I know the feelings of soaring highs jamming to stuff you love and the lows of being so depressed with it that you don’t even touch your guitar for years at a time. I personally hate to see new players give up too early and never play again though thinking they can never learn to be decent on guitar. I’ve been from literally unable to fret a single note when I first started to playing blazing solos from the songs I love like ‘Paradise City’ and ‘Find the Real’ (Alter Bridge’. I would tell newer beginner guitar players to find songs and albums you love as in your absolute favorites and learn those even if you have to modify it to just open and power chord simplified renditions at first. Also, don’t be afraid to just grab your electric guitar unplugged and noodle along to any album or song and try to pick up the notes from riffs and solos as well as the chord progrsssions and melody lines of the vocals and bass lines all by just playing along with it at a level where you can hear your guitar and the music from the song playing at the same time-don’t play your guitar or the recorded music from the album so loud that you drown out either one as that’s an easy mistake to make as a newbie. Also, hum along to anything you think is cool in a song as that also develops the ear/playing by ear skills. And do a ton of chromatic finger drills and scales to warm up and always be trying to extend your position of your scale playing like don’t just play an E blues rock scale on the 12th fret or 2nd fret open positions but go everywhere all over the neck and in time as you work at it you will be all over the neck with authority and passion man. Keep rocking!🎸🤙

Slash!!! minha inspiração,melhor guitarrista do MUNDO,você esta de parabéns,sou sua fâ desde pequena.. muito sucesso pra você,te amo de mais !!

Slash=The one who gave me inspiration to play guitar like crazy...my friends call Slash Jr

Thanks for the advice slash👍

Slaaaaaaaaaaaaash I am your biggest fan, I play the guitar, I met you by a friend and from there I wanted to play the guitar because I listened to all the solos that you do and I already know a dozen of all your solos. in truth slash would give everything to know you are the best in what you do you are the maximum bro

I was ispired by the Patience solo it was so cool so i ve started to play guitar .

His laugh is everything 🥺

ur the king... inspirational video :)

We should ask him why he has a weird insta- LMAO

Many artists, particularly of his stature, would not usually do this. Very cool.

I started playing guitar when he was 12 years, but guitar was not enough, if I had not who inspire me when I saw the slash is fascinated in technique and improvisation licks her today, I just inspired by the style of guitar playing Slash SLASH THANKS You are the best! (Translation by google translator) if you can put subtitles in Portuguese I thank you!

1080 like and only one dislike!! I smell Axl

I'm looking forward to seeing you and Aerosmith in San Francisco (Concord)!

Slash you amazing at the guitar

Great guitarist and has a cool image too...love his style #tophat.

Because of you Slash i started play guitar🤘🏻🤘🏻

November rain outro is one of the best guitar solo. When i'm first heard it as a kid, I wanna be slash.

I like your style Slash

Iv been listening to slash play the guitar now since the 80s. Hall of fame should be knocking on his door soon enough if they haven't already

Hey Slash. This is Glenn from Sunshine coast. Australia. I have been sober for 9months. I am struggling. I am working doing the right thing and I am finding it tough because I am dreaming about the stuff. Any words of wisdom that might help. You are a huge inspiration for me and a lot of people on this planet🇦🇺😁😎

Hey slash im a huge fan i like it when you went to red velvet revolver

you are the best slash

I've loved the guitar ever since I heard slash play in guns n rose's

Words from the chief should never be ignored!

This helped me not to give up on playing guitar

Patience and enjoy! You won’t be good unless you put in the time.

Hi God,your words are mi Bible. Can't wait to hear your new album,surely it will be a kick ass album! Cheers!!

Thank U Slash, for in site on playing the Guitar.

Slash seems like such a cool dude.

Slash is a fucking Legend. That’s all.

I feel like the whole music theory approach to some people us overwhelming... U gotta remember to have fun. If u just get half way decent with em pentatonic u can damn near figure out any song on the radio. Have fun

I love you!!!!

His laugh 🤩🤩🤩

Hi, Slash!!!

When I started covering SLASH'S song my fingers became more fast than before.

I bought my guitar about half a year ago and i got stuck with it. I was playing at least 6 hours a day. Now i can play the guitar a lot the heck better than my best friend, who has a teacher for 7 years

Slash is the Best!!!!!!!!

I love you

You are awesome slash :) i play guitar and i really love it :) :) :D but sadly i only have a starsound guitar :) by the way... i love your hat :)!

How do you remember where the chords are on the guitar and how do you remember what chords go in each song when you have to play so many in a set list. I'm thinking of taking it up but it seems overwhelming and to difficult for me.

Omg I love you so much😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

The best slash Indonesia

❤️

You know you enjoyed the video when you liked it 1 min in and near the end go to like it a second time, forgetting that you already liked it
