The "Sweet Child O Mine" solo will go down in history as one of the best rock solos ever, and Slash is the guy who delivered it. With that on his resume, it doesn't matter how he's rated by guitarists who haven't achieved something like that. Go Slash!
Saying Slash is an Overrated Guitarist? Go listen to the riffs and solos he made. Some idiots say he is overrated because he can't SHRED good. Good shredder doesn't mean good guitarist.
BlueArpeggio531 Damn straight. Like I always say, I'd rather listen to a blues influenced ensemble wailer like Slash all day than endure even five minutes of a classically influenced solo-specialist shredder. They're brilliant, but boring beyond tears. To me the very best players can do both as musically appropriate, and more.
BlueArpeggio531 To be honest, I agree with you, I like the more bluesy type solos he uses cause of how it feels. But if you watch Anastasia live, you'll soon learn that Slash can shred his ass off! He just prefers the feel of the music, as apposed to showing off.
BlueArpeggio531 and the more old school guys mistake him for another 80's shredder with no soul while the shred obsessed ones think he lacks skill. Slash is actually one of the most unique soulful and expressive players out there
Great guitarist. This dude is a legend, created some of the most memorable songs, solos, and riffs in my opinion. Along with being in one of the biggest bands of all time. Still glad that he is cranking out good music. Ready for the next album to come out
Being a great guitar player isn’t about how fast you can shred, it’s about playing with feel and emotion that fits within a song. Something that Slash does very well.
Slash said that he wanted to follow his own path, be his own man. Everyone in L.A was trying to be EVH at the time. All the hair band guitarists were playing BC Riches with bright colours. Slash came out sounding different playing a REALLY cool guitar. When Sweet Child O one came on tv in Australia I was hooked. It was just Slash’s sound, it was the the sound and look of the band. They were different, they stood out from the pack. They had attitude.
Slash dropped by the Guitar Center Hollywood Vintage Room and talked about his musical beginnings, inspirations, and recording process on his last albums. Be sure to check out "World On Fire" by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators at www.SlashOnline.com and for other exclusive interviews and performances go to www.GuitarCenter.com
Slash Is so amazing as a guitar player and a humble human being. There is something so warm and passionate about his playing that other players don't have.
Yeah, and he really inspired me. I've had motor skill issues all my life that prevented me playing straight chords (only recently discovered they are autism related). Still managed to write, arrange, and record over 20 tracks solo. Never went anywhere but I still put 6 of them on TH-cam.
Feel free to watch most of the other videos like this where the guy talks for 40 seconds about how hey started and then plugs their signature model for 5 minutes.
Badass! Slash you are my reason I picked up a guitar. I have been playing for 5 years now and I feel exactly the same way about a strat and a les Paul and love a good Gibson les Paul sound! Haha I love blues and a classic rock sound so when I want blues I will pick up a strat!
The first time I heard Appetite For Destruction all those years ago, I was utterly blown away. I can still remember calling all my buddies immediately after hearing GNR for the first time, saying I just listened to the best rock songs I’ve listened to in a decade-plus.
Sweet child o mine, november rain, dont cry, welcome to the jungle, paradise city and MANY more songs that contain legendary riffs and solos are evidence that slash is a top 10 guitarist of all time. Place him where you want in that top 10, but you cant deny the impact and legacy that is Slash.
You are the first person who made me realized to learn and play a guitar. Thanks for keep inspiring me from the first day i held a guitar in my hands. Thanks Slash. Always love u man.
He is a freaking legend he was in LA and I didn't get to see him wtf! People may say hes overrated but what I love about his solos is that he doesn't play just to make it sound cool he plays with feeling. There is so much emotion in his guitar playing like he is speaking through it
Slash is amazing the things I have always loved about slash is he's very humble from what I've always noticed since 1990 always dresses simple, has passion and people say the doesn't shred well that means he actually plays the instrument, Clapton is extremely underrated Ive always thought as well
Wrong, he’s not a failed bassist cause he never played it, he wanted to but never did. I mean come on why would anyone want to even play bass? Lol it’s just an ass version of guitar 😂
Slash is the guy who can make you feel the solos he is playing is flowing through you. Such a great feeling. Whatever people says, he is one of the best guitar player according to me. My respect to Slash.
I think I can honestly say ive never heard slash talk for more than a couple words, he really just let’s his music talk and doesn’t let his ego get in the way I can respect that
I'm quite surprised that he didn't just solo the whole time. When I pick up a guitar, my first instinct is to play it. It would be just as frustrating to try not to play it as it is to watch him without playing it. Slash likes to play more than he does to talk. People need to let him play.
Guitarheads ragging on Slash ask yourself this: when your favorite shredder or obscure metal guy does his thing, will anyone know who it is? Now when the first few chords of Sweet Child of Mine play, is there anyone on earth who doesn’t recognize that tune and have a memory associated with it? That’s why Slash is one of the all time greats.
@@THEmeepmopmoop the gist is correct though. Guitar playing isn’t about who shreds the most. It’s about who evokes the most emotion with their playing. Slash has done that as good as any player in history. That’s why he is on the Mount Rushmore of guitarists.
The man paid his dues played 1000s of gigs. He has played with some of the best. Now he who has done this can hate! I'm glad he has been able to live a awsome life playing guitar. I play I'm ok but I work paycheck to paycheck I could hate but I recognize he made it. The road wasnt easy. So Slash heres to you Brother!
Seeing GNR live gave me a new appreciation for Slash. He played so well and so long, I kept waiting to see blood from his fingers. The sounds, variation of sounds and the effort, top notch!
Much respect to you Slash. Love your music and I think you're one of the most talented guitarists in history. You're an inspiration to everyone and anyone who touches a guitar.
i love how he talks about the albums he 'bought.' i've been reading his autobiography and he literally stole everything he could get his hands on. haha!
it's always that grandmother's gift when you're growing up! my grandma gave me my 1st car and i got into cars and car audio in that car. 24yrs later i'm still doing it
I actually wanted to hear him play the epiphone lp, it'd be interesting to hear him play through a $200 guitar, a nice one for $200 too. (It wont compare to a Gibby but for $200 who gives a flying fuck what it compares to)
Andrew Gamer it wasn't cheap. it was a hand made replica, made by a famous luthier to the exact spec of a 59. It was on par, if not better than a customs shop Les Paul.
2:15-2:23 the reason why slash has some of the best solos in terms of melody and context,and other guitarists seem not to amount to his fame,even if what they do seems more complex and challenging than what slash plays.
I chuckle when I think about someone asking Joe Satriani if Randy was an influence in his playing, and Satch responded, "Influence? If he were alive, we'd be contemporaries."
I am 15 now and started playing with 8 years. with 12 my parents bought me my first Les Paul because I love Slash. I wanted the guitar because he played it. And now i got it and ist my favorite guitar.
@@eog5217 I've seen G&R once and only because they were touring with Metallica. They followed (played after) Metallica (Mile High Denver, Colorado). The whole stadium was screaming for an encore of Metallica. Axel Rose got butthurt like the little bitch he is and took off in his limo. They should've opened for Metallica and not the other way around. And get it straight dude... Metallica is the biggest band in the World.
Slash is a legend.. he play the "sleazy" and melodic guitar.. in a era were all guitar players wanted to copy Eddie Van Halen.. he bring the swing melodic back to rock in roll .. in a time full of Eddie van Halen wannabes..
People say Slash is overrated...As a guitar player he fits very well what his music calls for...You have blues players ,Jazz players,country players.....He plays very well for what he is trying to convey....Comparing is very foolish...lots of fine guitar players.....just enjoy what they do.....All guitarist have their special talents.....and admire each other...that’s what makes it so important...it doesn’t get stale...Jeff Beck plays very different from say Eric Clapton...Yet on the beano album Beck might not sound as good ...each guy does something special....
Slash overrated? Are you kidding me? This man almost saved Gibson... He is a great player. He's got one of those inmediately recognizable tones. And he is one of the most INFLUENTIAL players of all time. He is also the most recognizable LP player only second to Jimmy Page.
Welcome to the jungle was pretty much a bassline. Nevertheless hes a legend for all the contribution to music and for inspiring many to pick up a guitar 🤘🏻🤘🏻
phototristan he said in another interview that he wears glasses because we he is out in public people are always taking photos of him and the flash of cameras annoyed the hell out of him so he wore glasses. And he wears a hat because well it makes him look badass.
phototristan it's his thing ya know and unlike most rockstars he doesn't spend needless money on clothes and fashion the top hat the shades it's just slash
He has such a calm soothing voice..😆 not necessarily what one would picture the "Slash" we see rocking some crazy tune on a stage...but I guess, he didn't have to use his voice, abuse his voice I should say, so it still sounds young. 😄 So Great! 🎸💕🎵🎶👏 Interestingly enough, I just found out, we both admired the musical gifts of artists such as Eric Clapton. My first rock concert. My first real concert I attended. On a given ticket by my sister...and when I was there I was like "where am I?..why all this older people here?..I thought it was a rock concert?.."..😂 granted I was the 14 yr old who had no clue who I was about to see...but when the show started, and it went ok, then I got it. And I was so blown away that I have been a Clapton fan ever since.😊 And whom it set my stardards to what rock concert, quality, and guitar playing should be like.... Then, of course, I discovered Slash, and Guns and Roses, as they freshly released Appetite for destruction...and I couldn't believe it!..my world was for ever changed ..🥰♥️🖤🎸🎵🎶
imagine if Slash never went to that guitar lesson and stayed a bass player???? Scary shit
nonono nono lol that would be interesting
nonono nono the GnR we all know and love would never have been the same
GnR never would have happened I suppose.
nonono nono The butterfly effect
He wouldn't be as famous😂😂😂😂😂
The "Sweet Child O Mine" solo will go down in history as one of the best rock solos ever, and Slash is the guy who delivered it. With that on his resume, it doesn't matter how he's rated by guitarists who haven't achieved something like that. Go Slash!
Well said!👍
Which one there's like two or three
EricBlackmonGuitar Agreed!
Completely agree.
Your rite hes bad ass GO SLASH YEAH YEAH!!!!!!!!
To the people saying Slash is overrated, The man made one of the greatest solos and in the history of Rock. The guy is a Legend.
+Hashed Prod. Why do people say Slash sucks? He really doesn't!
who in the hell would say he's overrated? He is a legend
Over rated? He's sooooo fuckin awesome he's under rated 👍
thelolguy007 Slash is nothing but underrated lol but at the same time, he's not overrated
Some people praise him a lot so he's overrated
Some people think he's shit so he's underrated
That guitar teacher who steered Slash towards electric guitar gave us more than he could ever know.
He's the only one qualified to play "Sweet child o mine" at guitar center
And even he doesn't.
@@DemonSlide he doesn’t need to
he doesn't even like Sweet Child O' Mine lol
@@penoyer79 , I heard he used to dislike it, but learned to really appreciate it over the last few years :)
@@kaylee4970 well it probably made him a lot of money lol
''no matter what obstacles or hurdles i ran into, i never accepted no for an answer and i just kept at it''
he's so inspirational
I wholeheartedly agree. Such an inspiration. Thank God he never quit!!!🙏❤️🖤🎶😂🙏💜🕊️
That's.. probably what led to him drugging his ex's mom.
I’ll never forget seeing him on stage in 1991 at 10 years old: top hat, smoking a cigarette and shredding his guitar. The epitome of cool.
Dude, he doesn't like to shred the strings
@@karencarcamo187 just saw GNR a few days ago, and trust me, he did a lot of shredding hahaha

In 30 years, I think this is the first time I have heard his voice.
I expected him so sound very different like really raspy or something
i expected it to sound deeper like one of those interviews where they mask the person and blur them out and give them a concealed deep voice. lol
He has so beautiful voice
No in 30+ years I need to see his eyes.
Let's take an moment of silence for Slashes music teacher. For not letting him play bass
What
@@taint2684 did u not watch the video

Not a single note.
It's a chat about his inspiration n new album
A commercial that doesn't show any music... Great commercial...

Hes top shelf
watches legendary guitar player for more than 7 mins, finds 0 second of him playing guitar :'(
I mean there's plenty of videos on here of him playing.. just go watch those.
Guitar Center has some of the best interviews and music ever.... direct to the point.....
Slash inspired me to play guitar. I have been a self taught guitarist from the beginning and I still am till this day.

Slash playes Sweet Child of Mine in Guitar Center.
The employees: Get out!
I wonder how long it takes him to decide which necklaces to put on in the morning?
Why just pick one?
Ethans Bass
i did say "necklaces" - plural ... so i guess he just puts them all on? Maybe he sleeps with them on? Discuss
gotcha. I'm sure he doesnt sleep with them on because theyd get tangled in his hair.

I absolutely LOVE my Slash ‘Appetite’ Les Paul, it has such a great tone, it is a real pleasure to play! Thanks Slash. 🎸🤘
Why don't we hear him playing on that damn guitar...
Agreed... agonisingly frustrating! Interesting interview though!

Isnt he terrified of public speaking? Or is that just crowds in general? I cant remember
If only there were dozens of albums were we could hear him play!

...and rightly so...
Technically he'd be playing a riff he made. Like all of us playing our stuff in GC. So, it's a huge IDK
@@HALEdigitalARTS wrongly so
I love how in podcasts, Slash would rather talk for 30 min about dinosaurs, or some other passion instead of music. He is a renaissance man!
GUITAR LEGEND, TOP FIVE GUITARIST OF ALL TIME
Awesome vid, Slash is such a chill dude, no rockstar ego whatsoever. I like that.
I actually wanted to hear him play the epiphone lp, it'd be interesting to hear him play through a $200 guitar, a nice one for $200 too. (It wont compare to a Gibby but for $200 who gives a flying fuck what it compares to)
they do compare to a Gibby if you find the right one...
in the hands of an adept player, any guitar will sing.
Gaming Guitar Player his apetite for detruction was a cheap gibson replica made by his friend
Andrew Gamer it wasn't cheap. it was a hand made replica, made by a famous luthier to the exact spec of a 59. It was on par, if not better than a customs shop Les Paul.
I have that exact guitar and it plays just like a Gibby does, it all just depends on the guitarist

Beautiful story. Never heard him telling about his beginning with guitar.
Can you imagine:

Saw GnR in 2019. They played for like 3.5 hours. It is was a hell of a show. Way better than I expected.
If Slash started with an old beat up acoustic guitar with one string on it, then i started with a 3 foot 2x4 with a fishing line for a string.
He has such a calm soothing voice..😆 not necessarily what one would picture the "Slash" we see rocking some crazy tune on a stage...but I guess, he didn't have to use his voice, abuse his voice I should say, so it still sounds young. 😄
So Great! 🎸💕🎵🎶👏
Interestingly enough, I just found out, we both admired the musical gifts of artists such as Eric Clapton. My first rock concert. My first real concert I attended. On a given ticket by my sister...and when I was there I was like "where am I?..why all this older people here?..I thought it was a rock concert?.."..😂 granted I was the 14 yr old who had no clue who I was about to see...but when the show started, and it went ok, then I got it. And I was so blown away that I have been a Clapton fan ever since.😊 And whom it set my stardards to what rock concert, quality, and guitar playing should be like....
Then, of course, I discovered Slash, and Guns and Roses, as they freshly released Appetite for destruction...and I couldn't believe it!..my world was for ever changed ..🥰♥️🖤🎸🎵🎶

HEED THAT FUCKING ADVICE ALL OF YOU METAL PLAYERS OUT THERE!
+SickMetalAddict Absolutely. I stopped counting the good metal songs that get shit on by the "look what i can do" solos.
metal is kind of different than rock and hard rock.showmanship is paramount to metal,agreed?
