Everything But The Top Hat!

We are thrilled to bring you our in-depth player study on Slash. We take a look at his lead and rhythm playing, including the scales, theory and creative process behind his unique style. We also take a look at how to get his signature tone! Watch the video for a full rundown.

Slash is the quintessential "guitar hero", but there's more to his playing than the long hair and top hat! This course offers an in-depth look at his lead playing, including complete breakdowns of two custom-written solos in the style of his biggest Guns N' Roses hits. We'll cover the scales and techniques involved, such as the harmonic minor, pentatonic and full scales, and work on how you can easily apply them to your improvising. You'll also learn how Slash helped define the rock sound of the 80s and how you can use his skills in your songwriting.
