[@tiemze]

This guy does great Guns and roses covers.

[@Urs1979]

Andrew L ?? he IS from Guns n Roses

[@joshiejd4591]

angel but Slash has a Tophat that never comes off...

[@JavaNinja72]

He does the best G'nR covers.....someone should tell Axl about this guy.

Slash is the perfect mix of technique and feel. He's a technical player but doesn't sound like one.

[@thegreatbootleg5383]

lol your so full of shit

[@carguy3460]

#truth. Bet you can't play that opening riff.

[@lapo.fantechi]

>slash >technique pick one lol

[@jumanism5681]

Piergiovanni Gianpollo He does have fantastic technique nowadays. Look up his 2010 godfather solo with Myles Kennedy. Dude can play some pretty technical stuff nowadays.

[@NerkMineRaiste]

lol who cares about speed. in my opinion is slash the best guitarist go listen to locomotive and their underrated songs

[@Tsukamaki]

Respectfully speaking he's not the fastest or most technical player but damn, he has a certain grove that just rocks... and in my books that's what makes him one of the best.

[@romanpears8442]

Intro lead melody just sounds even better than in studio.

[@dhammdeepbhagatdd]

Yeah.

[@XYZ-ee8fl]

Several years ago, I watched this video and googled this guy. then I found the band called GNR. and a few others. Then I started to play guitar. 2 years ago I finally saved enough money to buy my very first Lespaul. And I play it every day.

[@tjardarosendaal4109]

Xinyi chill story!

Were you living under a rock before you googled "this guy"?

[@thegrandpencil4374]

@@RyanGamesYT Maybe he's young?

[@dinocelikovic]

the intro is like a cool country song

[@rafaruiz3462]

Simple and beautiful sound

[@magicpen6666]

When he starts the intro lead melody at 0:43 I get the chills... I've always loved that part

[@voodoochild1311]

I love the way he smiles when he talks about the good old time with Guns, he's so cool !

[@guppy9713]

Hi, you don't know me but I am from the future. In 5yrs time, Axl and Slash will put their differences aside and reform G'n'R. They will embark on a world tour lasting 3yrs and it will become the third highest grossing tour of all time....Enjoy!!

[@moonlitphantasm]

This has always been my AVSOLUTE FAVORITE G N' R song ever. Hearing that intro hooked me instantly!

[@TTMG29Gaming]

My favorite song is from Slash and it's called Anastasia but this is also one of my favorites.

[@agustinoses6733]

Nobody cares

+Agustin Oses You sure cared, otherwise you wouldn't have replied to the comment :P

Gonzalo Raffa it is :)

[@samburton2845]

WITH MYLES KENNEDY YES

[@abbasmomin]

It's really nice to see Slash smiling when he's describing about how they wrote the song on the bus :) Guess not all GnR memories are sour.

[@supra1981]

This man is my idol, been playin 20 years and based my style around him and im still scratching the surface, iv got a few vids up but watching him he does it so effortlessly.

This guy is talented. Excellent covers for guns n roses. Axl should give this guy a shot

[@sukhmaidickoff]

That dude has sooo much talent, it´s really crazy

[@manoftheguitar]

Ladies and Gentleman.... THIS is how to play guitar!

[@MrGunwitch]

This is the hardest Gunners song to play note perfect.

[@LucasTheUltimate]

What the hell guys? Are there people actually saying he is playing it indirectly!? DUDE, he freaking CREATED those riffs/solos!

[@antonholm5202]

Goddamn it! The rhythm guitar part of the main riff is freaking groovy - hits me right in the left testicle every time. From 0:56 to 1:03

[@afrocoolio25]

"It's not all dungeons and dragons." Dude, what band was Slash playing that sang about DnD? Was he in Dio for a time, that no one knows about?

[@totrodder97]

For the people asking in this video slash uses his Gibson AFD prototype (the very first afd guitar to be put into production) and his marshall SL5 prototype too (very first sl5 amp before the production model). Also his tone in this video is so fucking cool and this is perhaps my favourite guns song of all time :)

[@tddrew6957]

Thank you

[@julianfarias6951]

Just wanna thank your for that!!!! I was searching what marshall model was that one. I didn't realize that it could be the sl5. Thanks a lot!!!

[@totrodder97]

@@julianfarias6951 no problem, it was his prototype SL5 so it may be different to the ones you and i could buy today however i have a production SL5 and they are a fantastic amp and incredibly loud too 😎👍

[@julianfarias6951]

@@totrodder97 I was thinking on buying one used here in Argentina. But I never knew if with this amp you can get the sound of tokyo 92 or even tones like the ones in november rain. Since those are the sounds that likes me the most!

[@totrodder97]

@@julianfarias6951 the SL5 is great at getting that slash tone however it is warm sounding like on the AFD album to get that live in Tokyo sound (silver jubilee amp) I use a Marshall guvnor 2 distortion pedal in the SL5 to boost the treble and gain a little bit more, hope this helps

Man slash sure has a special guitar tone! Is like a variation of the women tone! Truly amazing .

[@Mario_N64]

His tone is unmistakable. It reminds me of Carlos Santana.

[@pwk22]

Absolutely. I was listening to Slash the other day, and I thought, "This tone sounds like Carlos Santana."

[@Texturas75]

Interesting, yeah, they have similar sounds

[@nine9live5]

omg what an epic tone!!!! i wish i had that tone...

[@giuseppeflorio5656]

This is a miracle song😍

[@yamipablo]

cosider him as one of the greatest guitar players , and i love to se that things cause he explains how to play , not a teacher, the creator of the play do it this is priceless, ty Monster

[@kylentamboong8910]

So happy I can play this song.. :D

[@falconbaker8553]

This sounds so good!!

[@Ghabriel123]

hard to say who is the best guitarrist of all times,cause there are so many diferents styles of playing guitar.Slash´s tone is,for sure,one of the best tones you will ever hear,hendrix style is almost impossible to reproduce,and page feeling on stage is something that you will probably never find again. that said,i my humble opinion the best is actualy steve vai, i mean,he is a showoff but he is amazingly creative,and moves from scale to scale on an amazing pace.

[@scarvered]

00:57 really sound like strat or tele ! What an amazing Les Paul !

[@vivid-_-jxtn3337]

he should be in a band

[@GNRDisturbedSlash]

yeah cause Izzy played in and around slashs riffs, sorta a dueling guitars thing, what made some of their songs sound so cool guitar wise

[@Jonners]

@hossguitar G'n'R also wrote the whole song in the back of a van after leaving one gig, in an interview he say's it took the band less than 20 minutes for this song. In all my lifetime i won't do a song this good let alone 20mins, in a van!!

[@MrGuitar350]

That sounds so COOL!

[@georgekasiouras]

@CarbonTacos yes he is playing half a step down,also by playing in lower tuning you don't have to worry about breaking a string by bending

[@pappyodanial]

Mixing 50's pop with hard riffs on a Derrig is the ultimate

[@TheWoud]

What a great gitarist!

[@thedarkninja2000]

The actual song is in F#major. He plays in a G major chord progression with the strings tuned down a half step.

[@TimmyNitro]

@zaedius (sorry on a phone) you are completely wrong, Tracii Guns was the first lead guitarist of Gnr dor a brief period if time and hense the name "Guns" n "Roses"

[@mikasihite5346]

I'd Listen to slash than jimmy page.. There's just something about how he plays that pops out

[@MYDOT9]

Mika Sihite no offense but have you lost your head? Slash is an amazing guitar player but Jimmy page is on an another level altogether. One stairway to heaven song and the different parts and versions of it defeats all the other songs that guns and roses have ever written.

[@JavaNinja72]

Agree

[@vaideswarana3223]

@@MYDOT9most of led Zeppelin songs are slow and dull....to be honest there are only 3 led Zeppelin songs I like. Stairway to heaven because of that solo, Kashmir and babe m gonna leave you rest of songs so Fucking slow and boring!!! Guns n roses are great they are my favorite band.....so many great songs... welcome to the jungle, sweet child o mine, November rain, Paradise city, Rocket queen, you could me mine, estranged, don't cry...the list goes on and on...I don't even understand why led Zeppelin were soooo overrated...yes they had very talented members like John Bonham, Robert plant and Jimmy page but honestly I don't like their songs except the 3 songs I mentioned.

[@daw162]

Manan, I don't think you play guitar. Jimmy Page is interesting, but he's not the guitarist that Slash is. He's been doing it longer and grew up in a different era, but the two are pretty far apart in terms of capability. Or put more plainly, there's nothing that Jimmy Page plays that you couldn't play if you were a dedicated student for a couple of years, including all of the leads. they're great to learn from because of that. Branching out to guitarists like Slash and Marty Friedman is a much taller order, though, and it requires a lot more repetition after you've already gotten to the Page level of playing. Doesn't have anything to do with which you'd rather listen to. I like both (all three if you add Friedman). We don't have to choose, it's a false dilemma. I can't even say I like Slash better than Page, because I don't. But Slash is a far more advanced guitarist than Page ever was, Friedman is perhaps another step up - completely different sound, but it's hard to say that Friedman is better than Slash or make some comment like that - Slash doesn't tend to try to show you all of his tricks, and neither ever got repetitive or sterile.

Actually Slash does not say that in the book, Izzy did a few songs but the major hits like Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O mine, Paradise City etc... Were all Slash! Slash came up with most of the intros and riffs for GnR and wrote all his solos Izzy did like 3 songs lol..
