The biggest compliment I've ever received from playing guitar.. It was on a Instagram comment and it said "fake"

Coolest fucking guy I have ever met . Shook my hand , signed my concert ticket and talked with me for a few minutes outside his bus after the show. All round great guy, and amazing guitar player of course .

man i could listen to him talk about guitars for the rest of my life

My biggest compliment was 'I thought it was the radio! That was you?' Ha!

You wanna prepare for these things but, it never goes the way you want. I saw Slash at a restaurant and nearly shit my pants. I sounded like a 14 year old girl. I said what I wanted to say and he said "Thank you very much. Appreciate it." Made my day.

Slash's music is straight from his soul to our ears

Growing up, Slash seemed like a comic book type character. No human is that cool

Slash is a very down to earth guy!

He doesn't age.

Slash is one of the greatest melodic and vocal guitarist of all time... Sure, there are many people who can play faster and play more complex stuff, But Solos like "Slither", "Sweet Child O' Mine", and "November Rain" are memorable in that everyone can memorize every note and hum along with them. The sign of a great guitarist is one that can put his/her own stamp on a song and elevate it to the next level musically. Slash has always succeeded in doing so, as have all the legends such as Hendrix, Angus Young and Jimmy Page. THAT... in my oppinion, is what makes a great guitarist, NOT being able to shred at stupid miles per hour like Yngwie Malmsteen or Buckethead.

Slash out of all guitarists has a special place in my heart He made me pick it up and guns n roses in general influenced me so much

Slash is really inspiring

Slash doesnt really exist, he's one of our parents

It's nice to hear him mention Elliot Easton as a player he likes. Everybody always gives props to guys like Clapton, Beck, Page, etc., but Slash is the first guy I've heard name Easton, who was one of the best and most tasteful players (with The Cars) back in the '80's.

Slash was my inspiration to pick up a guitar. This dude is one of my heroes, and I can pick up that it's him almost immediately.

Slash writes beautiful solo’s, absolute masterpiece’s 👍🇦🇺🍻

I agree that’s the best compliment a guitarist can have, people keep telling me this when they listen our band performing live, that’s an awesome feeling to be identify by your sound and how you can sound, it’s inimitable

Imagine him as your guitar trainer!

I'm always will remember the B:B. King and friends Live session , B:B: was most exitied of you're playing the blues .

Another Fantastic British Guitar player. This Isle is blessed.

Its incredible how he plays with 3 fingers and has created way more quality music than many others!

Music is an expression of the soul.

best thing i like about slash's playing is the intro. it just so epic and like out of this world sound.

Slash is so chill

Slash is arguably the greatest "Pure Rock" guitarist of all time... He is the total package!

slash is fucking amazing he is one of the main reasons that I play guitar thank you slash keep kicking ass

Slash plays some of the prettiest melodies, he had such taste as a kid, im same age, i was so jealous i couldn't appreciate it until much later.

He could also be an iconic story teller. I can listen to him for hours \m/,

When it comes to music, jazz is a unique language unto itself. It's not like you can learn a few blues licks and apply them to rock, metal, country, bluegrass, etc. Jazz has it's own set of "rules", for lack of a better way of describing them. From the way you improvise, the licks you can use, the chord changes you need to follow, and how to make melodic sense of it all, it's not as easy as other styles of music. That's why a lot of rock/metal guitarists can shred like mofos in their chosen style of music, but then they become totally lost when sitting in on a jazz gig, as Slash aptly pointed out.

Slash is one of those great inspirational guitarists for me, up there with angus young, stevie ray Vaughan, and Brian may

I love the guitar section of songs your my favorite guitarist of all time

God bless you Slash!!!!

You know what Young Man..... You definitely do have your own sound. It's a Blessing Dear. Recognize 🤗 I love your sound..... Your sound stands alone meaning that it's yours and only yours. I am flabbergasted Everytime I hear your effortless guitar magic!

Awesome love listening to what slash was talking about a d explaining it very interesting

next week slash comes to austria(the country i live in)!! to an annual rock festival.. and i've got vip-tickets! damn that's so amazing..

Vunter Slash.

Great that he mentioned Elliot Easton ! He has played some of the tastiest solos in rock n roll.

when this dude plays fast, i get goosebumps, especially when he improvises

A real gem.... This guy is the real deal.

Great guitarist...

Slash was what age here 45? He still looks 22!!!

I lOVE the video quality

I mean this guy is pure music soul. He also inspired me to pick up a guitar and "fuck around" with it.

awesome!

He played with Ray Charles? Oh Slash God bless you sir, gotta love ya! That's really cool

the greatest compliment i received as a guitarist is i like your tone and style. :)

He creates licks that are original with the timing and note choice of a seasoned professional

my inspiration

slash you rock man

Slash is One of my influences as a Guitarist and Brian May is A huge influence on me as well.

See you next month Slash 🤘🤟

Yeah I agree with slash I love the 3 finger technique!

Love how his influences are mostly Blues guitarists.

Biggest compliment I ever got playing guitar is when i put it back in its case people seem to really appreciate sounds of silence 😁

Great video

Slash is of my Guitar Influences And Brian May is Huge influence on as well.

Nice to hear Elliott Easton's name mentioned. Highly skilled player and highly underrated.

i second that shit man! hes definitely one of my many guitar heroes

my favourite guitar player is slash slash slash slash slash slash slash. biggest fan

Slightly surprised he said Elliott Easton. Hes incredibly underrated as a player. Thats so cool to find out.

GUITAR LEGEND, TOP FIVE GUITARIST OF ALL TIME

I got the same feeling with the 3rd finger and pinky deal

Slash is exceptional among modern guitarist for having an eccentric style, but with much feeling. Les Paul told him in person..."You play pretty good, when you try." That pretty much sums it up.

If you listen to the solo in Manfred Mans Blinded By the Light. I could absolutely see Slash playing that.

I had never thought about that feeling that he gets when playing with 3 fringers, and it kind of makes sense

Soon will this video be 10 years old. Time goes like a Flash

I listen to slash since 25 years ago and love his style, and only now I realized one of the most characteristics things he do (and other guitar players dont) is bending a 1/4 note below what is usually spected

There’s a whole bunch of things I don’t know a thing about. I just stay away from those. I stay within what I call my circle of competence. Tom Watson said it best. He said, ‘I’m no genius, but I’m smart in spots, and I stay around those spots.’ Warren Buffett

My first guitar hero

he is a good guitar player honestly he made me want to play guitar.other bands like acdc van halen kiss etc got me into that type of music and made me fantasize how cool it would be to play guitar but slash made me go get a guitar and learn to play but when I found metallica and some other metal bands I got so much better at playing I honestly think playing metal makes you a better player

Yeah!!!!!

i love 4 songs on that punk rekkid they did.

you really have a hell of a lot to learn

Even makes an unplugged LP sound great!

slash is never aged

Slash is the coolest guitar player on this Planet!!!!

you can here slash hes great

It’s so fucked up how casual this guy is about the guitar…legend

Slash got a unique style in the world

Slash President !

yeeeaaaaah alright!

He loves the word melodic.

The best compliment I ever got was "man you have a lot of guitars"

The best

/ you rock

@Kickstart187 that's a good question ... I thought the same ... he never mentioned what kind of vibrato he doesn't like. I agree with you ... i think he means more exagerated vibratos ... and if you listen to the guy playing, he always uses quick brivatos, subtle ones, which are part of his particular style ... This guy is awesome ... unique sound and style, a very important aspect of guitar playing!

Elliot Easton Cars! I hear it, how cool.

Hes talking about zakk wyldes vibrato.

Marshalls behind him. The only man that wears sunglasses inside.

What an awesome life honestly he's played with the best in the world to say in a sentence when I played with Ray Charles is just awesome I know he toured with Michael Jackson

He's right about the third finger. If you notice it makes his runs longer up the neck, like the famous fast part in the SCOM solo.

Slash is very intelligent.

nice episode

Slash = Best Guitar Player

I love slash & myles my band name is THE SLASH BAND

He literally sitting in front or tens of thousands of dallars🤑

It's all about the pre-note scratch that you might throw in slightly ahead of the beat to give the first note of a measure a sense of boost. Imagine a kid swinging in a swing with a person giving them a push at the top of the measure and then swinging along at the continued natural rhythm for the rest. For example the difference between a metronome clicking acutely in perfect time as apposed to a pendulum swinging. Almost as though the guitar player was so used to a loose sense of timing and relaxed but then suddenly catching up on the top of measure. Like a heroine influence perhaps. Less mechanical and technically incorrect on purpose. Beautiful. The same as Santana throwing in a wrong note outside the pattern on purpose.

Yep thats me i use the 3 finger technique for my solos so true.and its stuff i dont feel comfortable playing either like metal

I never was a huge fan of slash but my dad always said i played like him because my dad was a music theory buff and tried explaining music theory to me i could play it but i dont know what im playing i just remembered how to play it. I can play any solo but i have no idea what scale or anything like that. So when i write my songs there pretty simple but they sound good like slash said about melodic solo's. I play at a more advance level whenever i play somones elses songs.

I really like rmccaw7's posts =) The Tosin Troll has been put in his place
