Warning: Contains strong language.
In this episode, LA-based producer Eric Valentine (Queens Of The Stone Age, Slash) recreates the guitar sound from Slash's self-titled debut album of 2010. Spoiler: It's a Les Paul and a Marshall, but there's a bit more to it than that...
We look at every link in the chain from tuning and guitar choice through to amp settings, pedals, mic selection and post-processing.
Check out the other video in the series where Eric deconstructs the guitar sound from Songs For The Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age.
Huge thanks to Eric Valentine
