Why Slash is one of the best guitar players ever.

[@samsbudgetguitars830]

Slash was the reason I started playing guitar as I did the world tour with G n R. In 92/93 .best time of my life ever .🇬🇧👍

He’s definitely one of the best ever. Slash and Dimebag are the two finest exponents of the guitar i’ve ever heard. It’s not how fast they can play scales, it’s what of themselves they put into playing, you can hear their very souls communicating through their playing. AWESOME!!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Sorry but you have to admit Carlos Santana is amazing at guitar

[@Axlthewolf05]

​@@scottkellogg8145Of course Santana is great, nobody ever denied that

[@karancarnwright4312]

Look up Justin Johnson now that man can do anything to a guitar ,I'd say he's one of the best!!

[@karancarnwright4312]

You need to listen to Justin Johnson on KZbin he can play anything ,I would put him up there with Slash!

[@ginobirch3300]

Slash the Legend ... walked into Morrones Pub in the 90's unannounced with sweet Kai. He was so humble and cool to meet and see why You and Guns &Roses Rock the World 🤛💯😎🎆🌍

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

The primary purpose of an artist is to somehow connect at an emotional, probably spiritual level with his audience…you can be a virtuoso, a technical wizard and not achieve that ever….Slash does, and he has great phrasing, every solo of guns n roses has great phrasing, elevates the song and touches people. Now, there are technical wizards that have achieved this, Jason Becker was one. Anyway, Slash gets shit thrown at him by guitar nerds everyday, I dont think he gives a damn, an incredible player, and above that, a great artist

[@El-pibe9292]

Por fin alguien lo dice. Slash 4 ever 🎩🎸

[@holland736]

Not guitar nerds I play and teach fact is he plays every cliche imaginable , always biggest sellers lauded I could name hundreds better than this guy😊

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

@@holland736 a nerd indeed, music is not a competition, Slash was and is perfect for guns n roses, his solos and contributions where perfect for that band, his solos elevated the songs,had feel, I doubt those hundred players that you know could create a masterpiece like the ending solo in november rain or the main one in sweet child o mine

[@brianchrastil7114]

He lets his guitar do the singing from blue grass, to soft rock to hard rock. Guns and Roses is lucky to have him in the band!

[@blakestone75]

I liked the first part. Decent blues. It got a bit mushy when the band kicked in. Slash has come up with some of the most iconic riffs in rock music. No doubting his talent there. I think this would have been better if it were shorter so that he could take it to it's peak and come down quick. Not ride up there and stay there for 5 minutes straight. That got kinda old.

[@dancollins8745]

Lots of comments on “no, Slash is not an all time guitarist”. It’s such a boring, ridiculous argument. I didn’t even listen to most of this video, started boring. Yes, there are a zillion more technically skilled guitarists, don’t bother to list your guitar geek list, I know it. What he is, is an all time musician. An artist, not a mathematician. He creates sounds that invoke feelings, and experiences, and relatability, that very very few ever have. That’s what puts him in rarified air. And you’ll hear the same statement from real musicians the world over. Arguing against Slash as an all timer is the domain of hipster guitar geeks, and they eventually come around. Don’t lose the forest for the trees.

For someone to copy two people in something that requires much practice and skill is incredibly impressive🤡 also I would say Slash is better because of all the cool licks in all the GNR songs, but it’s two different styles, also art can’t really exist without inspiration from another thing, and also another thing, to say he is a copy cat is just kind of stupid, you could say that about Slash too.🤡🤌🏼💩🤓😂👇😎👌🫠

This guy would not even be the best player in the venue ,hero people don't play, play badly or have limited listening and immediately shout jealousy and nonsense about his feel and it's all about emotion which of course guys with loads of musical knowledge never have .This guy is the greatest for people who always equate money with talent which is nothing to do with music ,hence Matteo Mancuso is unknown and Kirk Hammett is a millionaire

Not impressed at all with this performance,this is just Slash,want to hear him to play blues check out blues jam in bruxelles thats wow,about srv and other dudes there is no vs no one its the oposite music is to add or agregate not a sport where a team plays against another music is to be shared and listen by all you guys missing the point.Bring Srv,Hendrix,Slash you name it ill keep with them all.

[@nerffyb7298]

Being the best guitar player is one of the most subjective things ever. Everyone has different tastes. Although I do agree with most of what you say... The one thing you can't take away from the guy, is that he uses the instrument for what it was intended for, to convey what he feels.... That's the reason I appreciate his playing...

[@billybrown1980]

How much did slash pay money to have someone too say he is one of the best guitars player, He'll never beat angus young or Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney
