Slash is a legend on the guitar and has written some of the most famous riffs in music history. He’s also got some incredible guitar tricks that make him sound like nobody else! If you want to sound like Slash or at least learn some of his guitar habits and techniques, then this Slash guitar lesson is the place to start.
Watch as Dinesh breaks down Slash’s guitar style and shows you the top guitar techniques and habits to sound and play like Slash. Whether you want to master his melodic solos, riff techniques, or signature tone with just your pick, this is the ultimate Slash guitar lesson for you.
Dinesh will show you how Slash uses clean tones with subtle chorus effects, adds chromatic runs to bluesy pentatonic solos, and creates lead melody lines like the ones in “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Fall to Pieces” that will have you humming along–part of the reason his guitar lines are so memorable. You’ll also learn how Slash adds chromatic filler notes to riffs and builds themes that are as catchy as vocal melodies that get stuck in your head. Plus, how Slash’s aggressive pick attack and dynamics make his solos pop.
Dinesh also shows you how to build a rig like Slash so you can get Slash’s gear and tone. He shows two setups: a smaller rig with the Epiphone Slash Les Paul™ Standard in November Burst and a Gibson Dual Falcon amp, and a full-scale big rig with MESA/Boogie® Badlander™ 100 Head, Rectifier™ 4x12 cab, and a Gibson Les Paul with Burstbucker™ pickups. Both setups will get you Slash’s tone but with two very different budgets.
By the end of this video, you’ll have everything you need to play like Slash and sound liek Slash–top hat not included!
