A riff made by Slash, on a harp when he's 80 would go hard ngl.

[@Kouta2243]

He mentioned a harp 10 years ago at a question and answer night I went too . That’s where my profile pic actually came from!!

[@adiohead]

The guy who got me playing guitar! Love him.

[@CraigArndt]

Me too. I suck, but I keep trying and appreciating the music Slash makes.

A couple of years ago I bought a used '79 setneck Memphis Les Paul copy in tobacco sunburst! It was the exact model my father bought for me for my 16th birthday. (Which I stupidly traded for a Kramer Pacer) I'm sooo glad I bought it too! Paid waaaay more than my dad did in '79, but its well worth it! I swapped out the pickups with a set of T-types by Pariah Pickups. Now it plays and sounds as good as my 2008 Gibson standard!

[@craigtilton8957]

The MXR distortion was my first pedal too! It was very useful. Wish I still had it.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Ditto!

[@Nati]

That was great ! I'm wating to hear Slash on a harp 😀

[@uphillracer]

Slash is a unique guy

[@snakelover7703]

Legend

Best non-crazy boutique dirt pedal: probably a Boss drive, but everyone's taste is different (my first was an OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion), or if you want to jump on the Klon thing, MXR Sugar drive is a good version of that, in a tiny box. (My drive right now is a Carl Martin Plexi-ranger since I wanted a drive and a boost in one.)

[@seanmckelvey6618]

My go to is always the Boss Blues Driver for drive, and a Rat for distortion. Never had an issue with either.

[@rjlj89]

He got a new 88 standard? When was this recorded?

[@JONNIE_ROCKER]

I want slash's old Jackson firebird

[@1234drums]

Slash ✨

[@blackhatjester]

Man Slash should play the harp with Blackmore's Night, that would be cool.

[@GuitarUnderground]

When an artist says 'I don't know' or 'it depends' then follow up an ask what's the first example you think of. I'd actually like to hear their insight.

[@Adriano_leal]

Slash and Emily Hopkins collab?

[@Reverb]

Bring me it.

[@joermnyc]

Yes! This needs to happen!

[@papa_pt]

Good les Paul copies are usually better than anything modern Gibson does

[@Mase-mu6bk]

A gibson dihk rider would say otherwise 😮‍💨

[@stevencurrie1540]

I love my collection of Gibsons all nine of them being six Les Paul’s

[@GRequinBlanc]

Very cool video

[@nathan10X]

nice

[@LPManic]

We need to hear Welcome to the Jungle on that harp! Ha!

[@MarthaRaymond-c7z]

310 Keanu Junctions

[@bluesrocker91]

Is it me or does Slash's voice sound totally different to how he used to?

[@Ottophil]

Thats how time works

[@bluesrocker91]

@@Ottophil Yeah, but usually in reverse. He sounds younger now than he did twenty years ago.

[@GuitarCPA]

​@@bluesrocker91he quit smoking. Maybe that impacted it. I didn't notice

[@aleksik4028]

Sounds like 30 years ago

[@marvelharris9540]

should have asked him what makes for a great sounding les paul..he didn't get into specifics

[@loganknapp8905]

Slash rocks a trucker cap better then that top hat.

[@Psyclonus7]

how are these "hot takes"?

[@jds1919]

Slash is not real

[@plenaryverbalist]

He’s more of a feeling

[@Ottophil]

Slash Isreal

[@walterppk1989]

Boring interview.

[@csharp57]

The music world just lost Frankie Beverly. I’m just glad Slash is still healthy and alive to be interviewed
