Hello people! Here are some licks that have made SLASH a guitar hero!!! SLASH has a special way of playing the guitar, since he learned the guitar all by himself, the solos and rythym playing are made by inspiration. The solo´s that SLASH does are known as "blood solo´s" because he play s what w hat he feel s, and does doe s no t think t hink abou t scale s cale s, pent atonics ato nics and all that stuff. He once kinda said this: "I dont remember what I play (improvs) I just play..." Remember that SLASH does alot of legato in his playing, and he alsow likes to do alot of doble-stomps with his ring finger...that takes alot of hand power to do! To get started on the licks I would suggest to get some power on your fretting hand with the pull-offs and hammer-onns, because SLASH uses them alot, he is known of the LEGATO effect...so be sure to warm up, play almost everything in legatos, and just play what you feel, thats how SLASH does it. Make sure sur e yo u inclu i nclu de the full bends, ben ds, release rel ease bend s, and the hold ing bends ben ds wich are a part of SLASH´s technique. In the second part we will see: The scales that SLASH uses, the harmonics, some tapping that he has made, string skipping, and Ill include some ways that you could sound like SLASH, by making "a lá" SLASH solos. All hammerham mer- onns onn s Lick #1
