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
plays what he feels, and does not think about scales, pentatonics 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 you include the full bends, release bends, and the holding bends 
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 lį" SLASH solos.

hammer-onns with slides too, so its a fast slippery lick. You can hear
