You can also send me some
licks / parts of Slash related songs that you think are important to understand
his style of playing guitar. Email me the tab and the
respective sound (play the
tab slowly and then fast, don't take it from the records) and I'll put
it here! Send the sound files in mp3 format with 20 Kbps.
Please don't send sound
files bigger than 200k since the space I've got on the web is
only 20 MB so I can't put here big files. Send your recordings to
Slashguitarpage@yahoo.com.

Tab #1:
This kind of lick is very applied by Slash: He picks one string and do
some hammer on on that string and then he plays on following string the
exact
same hammer on that he had played on the previous string. Play this lick
fast.

Tab
#7: Shine Lead Intro - On this intro Slash plays some harmonics (put
your finger on the specific fret but don't press it dow) which is not a
very usual
technique in Slash's playing. Slash plays it with a wah pedal:

Tab #9: Back To The Moment - The
only ballad on Ain't Life Grand. I love this song, in my opinion this is
best song of the album!
Rythm - The rhythm to this song is supported
mainly by skip string arpeggios of some chords. There are lots of guitar
overtones but basically
there's always a guitar playing skip string arpeggios. This song starts
with the following chords:
"You say you don't wanna go .... "
C C7 F A# C
C7 F A#
Pre chorus: "I wanted you ..."
