Theory is all about learning to recognize common/frequently used patterns in music. Figuring out where a pattern would fit well and what feeling it would elicit isn't rocket science and everybody does it. The best musicians have names for these patterns (i.e. scales, chords, time signatures and so on). It makes no sense to bury your head in the sand and go "I just play cool stuff" - everybody plays cool stuff, but being shallow and oblivious to what you're doing isn't going to help you get better or play with other musicians who have ideas of their own.

He’s simultaneously one of the most overrated and underrated guitar players of all time. He’s overrated cause everyone thinks he’s great cause he’s got unique hair, a cool hat and is in a great band. He’s underrated cause he’s waaaaay better at guitar than people realize

Os not the escales, is how he uses it

That Stairway to Heaven at the end

ALL the good guitarist know the basic theory behind what they are doing. It’s just built in after hours of practice and a better ear. So , they could explain it if pressed, they’re just past it and going on feel. But they are following the shading

Go back to surfing with the alien!!!

3:09 got the stairway reference in there

As others have said, what a fantastic teacher. Mind you, most of this is way over my head (and fingers), but still...

What are the names of the "rock scales " he is refering to?

You know, I was going to guess that he wasn’t going to explain it very well, and I was right 😂 but still love him I think he’s great

Translated into normal language: You either play major or minor pentatonic. If you play major pentatonic, adding a minor 7th will sound good. If you play minor pentatonic adding a minor 6th will sound good.

I’ve learned a ton in a nice clip. Wow! Priceless! Satch is the man! 💪🏼

I actually play worse now than I did before I watched this video

He explained that like: "How to draw an owl. Step one: Draw a circle. Step two: draw the rest of the fkn owl." 🤣😂

Slash plays from the heart. His body is the instrument.

Remenber Slash Had a lot of a bluesy approach, One thing I learned about playin blues is that you can combine major and minor stuff . Its up to you how you play it sound Good.. Cheers 🤘🤘🤘

1:20

This is some boring stuff. He's lost edge.

He just realizes "it works" because someone else explained it to him. It's like when you start playing with tabs/by ear and you do stuff just because, once you study a little bit you put things together. Could be the reason why he sucks at explaining.

He doesn't know theory but is talking about major 7th and flat 3rds?!

he's been saying for decades he is always trying to do something different but yet he keep playing the same crap every time... but less catchy and memorable.

Like he said, its all about feel and knowing what sounds good on top of a chord progression. Look at the outro solo for "Coma". It's a chord progression that shifts key after every eight bars, I think, correct me if Im wrong. But, Slash seems to effortlessly play a killer solo on top.

What da fuck is the rock scale or rock position??

si despiden a lars seria espectácular

"Sometimes it just sounds cool" Yeah like all of your tunes

this is on the button

I remember MAKING my mother buy me this issue of Guitar World Mag. JUST for this damn DVD/CD lesson 😅😅 here I am like 17 years later watching it for free on the internet.

Horrible explanation Just useless.

Quiera saber que tipos de distorcion usa

I love how he slips in a piece of the stairway solo at the end lol

The fact that Slash can’t explain all that well how he does what he does just tells how awesome he is, he’s not a technician he’s an artist and to me that is the essence of rock

Is that Jessica before he got the top faded, and before he dropped a cig cherry by the tail piece?

Amazing Gentleman ❤

"like killing birds as they fly by..." Hilarious.

is this the les paul from 88 japan interview?

Useless video

No sunglasses…. 😎

The master ❤

Here joe talks about "How to design electric guitar instrumental music arrangement"

Why he sounds like the “ kid” identity in the movie “split “. If he said etcétera he would be spot on .

was that kind of a mixolydian thing there on the end?

I guess we have to understand that playing guitar is Slash‘s life and full time „occupation“ and he has and had access to all kinds of great other musicians over time. For sure that helped to get inspiration. I think his main point though is that whilst he understands a few „grids“ eg relevant pentatonic patterns that match well with the underlying chords in the fret position he is mainly playing over in a particular section of a song, he does not approach it technically but truly feels it and hears it. My guitar teacher emphasizes that all the time ie don‘t look at the neck and don‘t start with the grid (eg pentatonic position 2) but let your fingers feel what sounds right (in relation to what you want to express). A good approach therefore is one string soloing only. I do not know if Slash knows or wants to play eg Myxolidian mode but he probably just feels what sounds good to him in that very moment over that chord and progression. A perfect example is Sweet Child O‘Mine especially the main solo beginning in relation to what he played before and after. Maybe this was all intentional grounded in theory but most likely he just wanted to express something like this. I find it admirable how all the greats hit the right right chord notes instead of playing random stuff when soloing (unless you intentionally don‘t do this to create tension eg as in some Jazz or other music). I believe their fingers are their ears and their feelings in one and their instrument has basically become another part of their body. This takes some time. Even Slash practiced frantically. Morello practiced 8hrs per day for years as he explained in a video. It does not come just like that.

8:19

I don’t need to know theory to know if a girl is hot,, same thing goes with music

3:09 He attempted the forbidden lick, and thus the video ended.

SLASH 👍🤘

that last was Stairway

🤦‍♂

He is not the best at technique (because he is mostle self-taught I believe), but he makes up for it with his talent

Slash is the sloppiest guitar player I have ever seen.
