@@ciachetti hello, thanks for stopping by. What level player are you? I’m not sure how many of my lesson videos you have watched but I have several where I repeat the same lick or phrase many times at various speeds. So I think if you look at some other videos you’ll find some that have more of what you’re looking for. It also helps to watch at slower speeds on RU-vid as well. That’s what I do when I watch videos by gsharp and laszlo. They go much faster than me and add more variation more quickly. If you look at lessons number 3, 6, 8, 10, and 11 I think you will see more repetition and slower speeds. I don’t do tabs at all. I have never even used them myself since I began playing. The idea of writing all that out seems quite tedious. I realize some people learn that way but I think if you just watch and play along you’ll be able to pick it up. Thanks again 🎸👍🏼

@@DragDealer hey man, thanks for reaching out and I am glad to hear that you’re continuing to dig these lessons. I understand where you’re coming from with all the position. I did a rather long video down months ago about transitioning through the boxes, but I’m sure it’s not organized in the best possible way. I was slow to learn them all myself. I have long used box 1 2 and 3 but didn’t use the others. I actually have grown to like box 4 the most Maybe. I don’t tend to use all the stings for each box most of the time but it’s good to know. I do go back and practice then from time to time. Maybe I’ll do a beginner type video for all the boxes. Or maybe I’ll just make one for you ha. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when trying to describe it all because I kind of have all mapped out in my brain visually and don’t think in terms of fret numbers and such. But yea, I’ll see what I can do. Thanks again my friend 👍🏼🎸🤘🏼😎

@@slashtrio Thanks for sharing and letting me know I’m not alone, I’m on that point of the journey when something is gonna click but it doesn’t coz i need a more advanced person to break it down to me. I’ll be so stocked to see the video you mentioned on your comment, for me only, no. Hopefully many others are on a similar journey where they also feel like things are clicking but they lack that visualization and breakdown of the transitions and how to use only a few strings on some shapes. That a huge part of the problem, we think we need to hit them all when I fact is learning locks that move around and flow into other shapes. Hopefully (crossing fingers) you make such video. I use mostly 1 and 2, I’m pretty sure I use something else coz my fingers move and flow into other shapes which I can’t tell what they are, maybe another scale idk, it it resolves nicely. I been thinking on driving into the diminished scale but I want to know the penta first and the melodic minor. My nemesis is lacks of transition into other parts and lack of knowledge of blues licks. But I will keep going. Great to talk to you man 🫡 btw yoi llu explain things just fine and very relaxed so you know how to do it my man

@@ShumuStudios thanks man, I liked this particular phrase. Not quite as slashy, more blues based I suppose. Thanks 🎸👍🏼

@@ShumuStudios thanks man. 🎸👍🏼🤘🏼

@@ShumuStudios yea, not my best work on this one but maybe something useful in there somewhere. I sometimes bit off more than I could chew with these. I’d do some initial planning but then kind of press record and hope it works out. I need to learn to edit videos !

@@slashtrio I said it before, all your lessons are gold

@@ShumuStudios ha, yea I’m drilling it into your brain!! Much repetition! I guess I’d rather have too much than not enough. That’s how I felt with some of the other slash RU-vid guys, they went too fast and didn’t repeat. Made it a lot more work to learn.

@@ShumuStudios hey man, I appreciate all the great feedback! So glad you’re finding some of this useful. I haven’t looked at this one since I made it and had forgotten what I did. Looking back not it’s actually a really cool pattern. I kind forgot it! I like the mixing major and minor pentatonic and this lick captures that vibe pretty well. Some day I’ll learn to video edit and make these videos more tidy. I guess they are rewarding to those with more patience and attention span! It’s a challenge to come up with licks to teach and then to do so coherently and somewhat systematically, while doing so in real time. It’s like once you’re 10 mins in or so you don’t want to start over, so you leave in mistakes, tangents, and the like. Cheers again my friend 🎸

@@slashtrio Nah, thank you for taking the time to do all of these. 11 lessons, each one jam-packed with awesomeness. While video editing does make the vids overall more tidy, after literally binging all of your lessons, after about the 2nd or 3rd one I got used to your style of teaching and I find it so raw and honest. The way you present and execute the licks is so good, the mistakes are completely irrelevant. I, for one, have used a screen capture software and recorded the parts I loved most and want to practice incessantly. So I ended up with 71 short vids (10-20 seconds each) that I'll playback and start practicing till my frets need changing.

@@ShumuStudios thanks man, it’s been good to hear from you and glad you’re enjoying and getting something from these. Yea, the screen capture idea of great. I have actually been doing that lately with some laszlo (the very good slash style players). I’ll find a lick or phrase I want to understand and I’ll screen record at 75% then loop it on my media players at even slower speeds. Try to do that with gsharp too but sometimes the cam is further way and not as clear quality so it’s a bit of a blur. But yea, it’s a good way to decode stuff 👍🏼🎸

@@slashtrio I feel like I shoulda done this aaaaages ago. I've been playing for about three hours with very short brakes. Man, you and your vids...brought back memories from when I was in high-school and watching dvds from Lick Library. There was a time when most of my days were just playing guitar. Thanks a bunch!

@@ShumuStudios yea, it’s amazing the time you could spend at those ages. When I was in late middle school and early high school I spend hours on end. But I’m a bit older so no DVDs yet ha. It was just listening to tapes (TAPES), maybe watching some live footage I recorded off TV, and I did eventually get a couple of “hot licks” type instructional VHS tapes. But the choices for learning nowadays are infinitely better and more effective.

@@ShumuStudios ha!! 😎😂

@@ShumuStudios yea, it’s not a lick I really play very often and can’t currently play it up to speed just because it’s not a lick I found myself wanting to do. But yea slash does it often. Definitely in the monkey chow solo and also in some of those big classic live solos I think. It’s one of those classic slash repeating licks. I think I learned from watching an old Niko slash video.

@@ShumuStudios that’s cool, funny he’s playing to the same Pink Floyd style backing track. Yea, that particular guitar I’m playing in this video has SD slash 2.0s. I really like them. This particular guitar has a cool tone too. But a a lot of this is the amp and effects. Using a vibe pedal (well virtual pedal in the kemper) and it gets a cool tone. Thanks again

@@slashtrio I recognized the backing track as soon as I hit play on your vid. Yes, them pickups are damn fine. Vibe pedal? What do you mean?

@@ShumuStudios it’s a type of effect Hendrix used a lot. I wasn’t familiar either until I was watching a Hendrix. Style lesson and the teacher used it. Sounds kind of like a subtle way mixed with a phaser maybe. I realized my kemper had this effect. It’s very cool. See below reverb.com/p/dunlop-jhm7-jimi-hendrix-univibe?hfid=82000388&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADRxZYW1GUL569-cTtNPZnHYbruky&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgrO4BhC2ARIsAKQ7zUm8oRzYtVG4J0J_L9kKurNu_Chg9X3tetKtODCGW_5-t2wXuz0tkIgaAnPSEALw_wcB

@@ShumuStudios thanks man ! 🎸👍🏼

@@ShumuStudios hey man, I’m honored that you like my playing and my videos! You’re such a great player so it’s always an honor when any great players gives such nice or complimentary feedback, so cheers my friend. Regarding hand strength or discomfort, I do not do any kind of stretched or hand exercises, although I have been considering starting to do such a thing. I’m getting up there in the years so the body is more prone to aches and tendonitis type of injuries, definitely gone through that with other activities I love like tennis, surfing, and even working out. I play every day for an hour or two and usually my hands are fine. Occasionally I’ll get some joint aches in the fingers, and if I do I’ll just stop for the day. I have been into 50s fat necks for a while but recently got a LP classic that has a much thinner neck and I’m noticing that maybe it’s better for my fingers, at least for fast type playing. But yea, I don’t do exercises as of yet. I think I naturally have a fairly soft touch, not really something I practiced or was even aware of until some people mentioned over the years. That said, I have made even a more conscious effort to not grip any harder than necessary. Oh, I also use lighter strings! I have a hybrid set so that the 1st 2nd and 3rd are from a set of 9s and the others are from a set of 10s. I decided a while ago that lighter would be better for my joint health over the long haul. I just turned half a century a few weeks back so I’m trying to keep the body together!

@@slashtrio You're far too kind. But after going through all your Slash lessons I realized just how much I gotta practice. I wish you many more half centuries further! :D Thanks for the reply, I highly appreciate it! You have such accuracy bending on the first 3 strings. I started out with 9s but was bending waaay more than needed, so I switched to regular slinky 10s. I'll remember what you wrote and try to push down with less pressure, though I find that hard to do, especially when trying to play faster

@@ShumuStudios thanks again man, your feedback has been so nice. Yea we all have our relative strengths I suppose. I started playing pretty young and got into blues in college. I think I naturally had a soft touch which seemed to lend itself for smooth playing and bending and such. I quit playing lead for many years and got back into it in 2019 or so. I started doing more online lessons and heard guys emphasizing bends and good vibrato. I had never even thought about my technique at that point and was pleasantly surprised that I seemed to be already doing it pretty well. But I have continued to be mindful of it and get even better at it. I think it helps if you can sing at all and have a decent ear. I can song okay and I really notice when I hear players, sometimes really good ones, bending out of key or having stuff wonky vibrato. So I try to emphasize that I’m my videos. My weakness has been knowing all the scales, knowing any theory, and playing fast licks. Those are the things I have worked to improve these last few years. I didn’t really know any of this legato stuff up until a couple of years ago. Still a work in progress.

@@slashtrio I've gotten quite deep into music theory for the last two years. I had to because I want to play some jazz manouche. And all the licks you've played fit so damn well with what I know. I could follow you 100%, thinking like: "oh yea, he plays a major 6th there, then going from minor to major third in that lick"

@@ShumuStudios that’s awesome man. Yea I’m learning some of that kind of thing but at this point it’s more about knowing the positions and then relying on my ear to know what works and what doesn’t work. I knew a guy in college who played high level jazz guitar, it’s was nuts. Crazy scales and patterns that I had no idea about. I think I’ll stick to rock and blues at this point. I’m gonna try and take this as far as I can with my ability and time. I’d love to be as good as gsharp, but I have a ways to go, may not get there, but I’ll keep pushing. 🎸🤘🏼

@@1981SG thanks man, I appreciate it. Trying to do what I can with my particular skill set….we can’t all be Gsharp and laszlo ha. But yea, that’s a good idea about soloing over chord progressions. I’m wondering if I understand it enough to teach it! It’s something I definitely do and have an intuitive understanding to some degree, but explaining to others is a different challenge. I actually have been considering doing a lesson where I show how I go about soloing over a progression like knocking on heaves door or even paradise city. Ya know that G D C type of thing. I often practice to a loop of knocking on heavens door progression. It’s a great one for mixing major and minor, and being in G you have a lot of neck real estate to work with. I may in fact do that next. I just have to think of a way to organize it so the video isn’t 30 mins long and unorganized. But thanks again, good to hear from you 🎸👍🏼

@@eddu_abreu 🎸👍🏼🤘🏼

@@Kajojek thanks man 👍🏼🎸🤘🏼

@@Kajojek Thanks man. Picked up this old LP classic locally and it has that 500T in the bridge. Man that’s a hot pickup! It’s amazing how much more gain it has when compared to my SD slash 2.0s or burstbuckers. Definitely gets a gnarly slash tone, but I’d say it’s got a more limited range. It kind of does that one thing really well but doesn’t really clean up as well as the others mentioned. Not the pup I’d want if I only had one guitar but it’s cool for having some tonal options. I dig this guitar, well aside from those inlays ha. Thanks again !

@@StephenCameron hey man, I appreciate that technical info! I have been playing a while now but learned most of my fundamentals as a kid, very much by ear, practice, and intuition (as opposed to proper lessons). I never read tabs growing up and always tended to improvise blues stuff. But as a more patient adult I’m definitely more interested in learning a bit more about the technical side of thing. Sounds like you know what you’re talking about. I have definitely learned a lot over the last few years from watching lots of RU-vid guys, particularly some course I got from Brett Papa. And yea, Gsharp and laszlo are excellent blues rock players in general and at the slash style in particular. But I have had some frustrated moments trying to learn from their vids due to them going too fast and not repeating enough. Unfortunately G is no longer with us. Seemed like a cool guy, would have loved to take some lessons from him. Not sure what’s up with Laszlo. He hasn’t posted new stuff in a years or two and seems to have lost his gear! He’s definitely a great player. At any rate, glad I can contribute in some way to people trying to work on this style. Thanks again 👍🏼🎸

@@slashtrio I really only barely and only recently know what I'm talking about a little bit. When I learned the pentatonic, for some reason, I decided to learn the "blues" scale, which has the flat 5 in it, which conveniently adds this little chromatic run in the middle of the pentatonic scale, and the flat 5 is this obvious landmark in the middle of that run. And then you notice there are these common bends that appear, one of which is the 4th to the flat 5. Another is bending the minor 3rd up a bit is that kinda snarly blues curl. I'm still working on learning, but found that thinking in terms of scale degrees and nashville numbering for chords instead of note names helps a lot in making sense of it all on the guitar. I think you know more than I do, or in any case are a much better player than I am. I just commented because I noticed you mentioned you didn't necessarily have the words to describe what you're doing, and I think maybe what you're missing is scale degrees (the note number within the scale). There are these very common types of bends (cliches, almost, but cliches for a reason) and so on which are probably best described in terms of scale degrees. And then this translates to the various pentatonic shapes easily (as opposed to fret numbers, etc.) OTOH, beginners may not be comfortable with this sort of thing, and be like, "just gimme the tab!" and you've got to satisfy your audience.

@@StephenCameron cool man. Yea for me it’s like I was doing a lot of this stuff before I had any kind of knowledge of the theory. I have been doing the flat 5 and blues scale since I got into SRV in college in the 90s, but I had no intellectual or theoretical understanding, it was all based on learning by ear and just copying what I saw guys doing. But yea in the last couple of years I have taken little courses and learned about the flat 5 and leaning all the pentatonic boxes and most of the major pentatonic as well. I still tend to learn best by just watching guys show licks and phrases but taking the time to understand things more deeply definitely helps your playing too. Always more to learn 🤓🎸

@@TheReal-GT thanks man!! 🎸👍🏼🤘🏼

@@XxdartvaderxX yea, me too. That main solo is definitely challenging.

Dude, I’m flattered! You’re too kind. I’m stoked that you’re digging it. I’ll try to keep ‘em comin! 👍🏼🎸🤘🏼

Thanks man, well I’m honored to even be mentioned along side of those legends. I’m a huge fan of Gsharp and Laszlo. They play very similarly I think. I’d venture to say that Gsharp is my favorite guitar player! If I had a magic wand I would be happy to grant myself his guitar playing skills. But yea, doing the legato down through the boxes in that fluid way is definitely a challenge and something that I’m still working on myself. It’s one thing to work your way down vertically in each box (which I can do in box 1, 2 and 4 - and maybe box 1 in major pentatonic), but I think the key is getting where you work your way down (or up) horizontally. I tend to do this using slides but also connecting the positions with legato. Don’t think I’m quite ready to teach that yet! It might be hard to watch ha. But I’ll continue to share whatever I can do and continue to learn as I can. I think the things that is helping me progress with this is actually taking the time to learn all the boxes / scales and then just adapting those same licks and patterns to those other positions. For a long time I only used the 1st few strings for each position, and still tend to do that. Thanks again 👍🏼🎸

@@anthonydavella8350 dude that’s probably the coolest comment I have ever gotten! I appreciate that. Yea, well I’m sure part of my uses the slash thing to get clicks, but I think most of my motivation or intention is to demonstrate a slash type style, but not so much how to play exactly like slash or to reach exact solos of his. Slash is a big influence of mine but I am also a big fan of Clapton (particularly blues breakers, cream, and his from the cradle album), SRV, Hendrix, and wait for it…Gsharp. I actually prefer Gsharp’s interpretation is slash style more than slash himself. I think that’s because I could tell that he was a blues guy and Honestly had better blues phrases, vibrato, and timing than slash in my opinion. I dig slash’s style and how he mixed major and minor pentatonic and his use of legato, so I’m definitely chasing that sound but ultimately I prefer the feel of those other guys I mentioned. So, comments and compliments like you gave are high praise from my point of view, because if you just rip out all these slash type licks but don’t have the timing and feel than just don’t hit or work as well. So thanks again man 🎸👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼 Also, you asked what my name was a long time ago, it’s Jason

Thanks man, glad you liked it. Man the godfather is a classic beast of a solo. I have actually never taken the time to learn it. I rarely learn entire solos of slash or anyone, I’m more inclined to just learn licks and phrases that I see guys do and then kind of use them to improvise or maybe just make up my own licks and solos. But yea, the godfather is classic and it would take some serious study for me to pull that off. I’m not quite as good with the natural minor scale stuff. But I’ll put a link below to a guy who teaches the godfather solo. While is tone and playing style is not really like slash he does a great job of breaking it down.

@@slashtrio great news... Im tryin to catch up.. the slow runs.. is by far the best/helpfull lessons... those endless fast ones doesnt need numerous repeats.. Oniy one fast run would be fine.. but adding VERY precise highligthed moments(speakin) for every tap/hammer on would be VERY helpful..🤘

@@TheBubbarox cool man, yea I do the best I can. I don’t have video editing skills at this point so it’s kind of one take iPhone vids. It’s not as easy as it might seem, at least or me, to map out how much detail vs less detail. I have found that many people have different preferences and learning styles so there really is no one way to go about this. Some people want very short videos with no talking, some want me to call out every note like tabs, some don’t mind the long form. Ultimately I decided to just kind of do what comes natural to me and those who like it will watch and those who don’t can move on ha. I’m not in this for money or anything, it’s purely a hobby. I have gotten lots of nice feedback from guys saying it’s helped them which inspires me to keep doing it. Thanks

@@slashtrio just keep doimg Your thing. .. I just do fast forward/skip stuff then..KeepItUpNow 🤘🙃🙂

@@TheBubbarox cool man, I’m not saying you’re advice isn’t good or worth considering, I’m just trying not to overthink it too much. That’s what I tend to do naturally which leads to me not doing as many lessons as maybe I could. But yea, I’ll continue to try and find the right balance that works. I have never used tabs and never even really grew up thinking of the fret board in terms of numbers, so I’m not so great about calling out frets as I play. For me personally as a learner, I primarily want to see the licks up close, slowed down, and some repetition. Then maybe talk about how specific licks are just ways of opening doors to other similar licks and phrases. I have watched countless gsharp, laszlo, and Jakob slash vids. I wound get frustrated sometimes because they sound kind of fly over down pretty complex stuff too quickly, or maybe add variation too soon, or maybe the cam was too far away and I count not make out what they were doing. My frustration with that was in part my motivation to makes these lessons. I wanted to make some that were more accessible to varying skill levels and to be more clear. Unfortunately I’m not as good as those guys but good enough to help some people.

@@KingHertz thanks my friend 👍🏼🎸

@@awesomegaming9845 hey man, good to hear from you again. Glad this is helping you. I have been working on this for several months now, mixing major and minor pentatonic I mean. It’s kind of essential for getting the slash vibe, and really lots of great players do it, like Clapton and Hendrix to name a few. I used to only play minor pentatonic and would get stuck. I am mostly self taught but over the last couple of years and I have subscribed to various instructional websites which has given me more skills and knowledge, but still very much a work in progress. So to answer your question, yes ideally you need to know your minor and major pentatonic boxes / scales. I know all the minor pentatonic scales and several major ones, but haven’t memorized all of those. But, I don’t think you have to know them all perfectly to get this vibe. I’m gonna attach some links below. My most recent lesson goes over a phrase that mixes major and minor. But yea, you go back and forth between the positions but also, and this part is important, you can also just target the major notes within the minor scale (or the other way around). So if you’re in position one of A minor pentatonic you can target the major notes within it and then kind of weave in and out of major / minor notes in a fluid Melodic way. Now of you’re playing to a backing track the song needs to have some major chords in it so this sounds good. Take for example the progression of knocking on heavens door or paradise cite, those are great tunes for mixing. Any kind of G C D stuff, you’re kind of on southern rock territory! I don’t know all the theory of that part, that’s where I use my ear and I can hear if it’s wrong. I’ll out some links below. The first is the recent lesson I did. I realize did another one months ago that kind of goes over some of this video that you commented on. Lastly I’ll add a link to Brett papa. He’s great about mixing major and minor for rock guitar. Cheers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1VvDzgunsY.htmlsi=vfwJUYPag8rjxNly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-633oAqf69PU.htmlsi=EcLEHK2JmaJQJ21z ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-633oAqf69PU.htmlsi=EcLEHK2JmaJQJ21z

I actually like Gsharp’s playing more than slash to be honest. I like slash’s style but I like the feel of the blues guys, and I think gsharp had that feel too. But yea, I’m not too into learning licks or solos note for note, I just like to get the idea and then do my own things with it. Cheers 👍🏼🎸

@@edlander1797 thanks man! I appreciate that observation. I do really like G and laszlo, definitely my favorite “slash guys”. I’d even go so far as saying that g sharp is my favorite player in general! I have watched his videos over and over, and wish I would have had the chance to know him / havre lessons from him. Seemed like such a nice and thoughtful guy. But yea, I think I prefer him (and laszlo) to say Jakob (he’s also great no doubt) and Niko (also great) because I can tell their playing is a bit more rooted in the blues and not just slash. I mean you see laszlo’s old videos where he had a strat and was ripping old SRV tunes. I think those influences come through in their playing and in their interpretation of slash style. I have always been a fan of SRV and old Clapton so I dig the old blues. I mean Jakob plays exactly like slash (probably better) but for me I prefer Gsharp and laszlo. Been working on getting this style the last couple of years! It’s a long road ha. Thanks again for the feedback 🎸👍🏼🤘🏼

​@@slashtrioI only recently stumbled across those guys, both amazing players and content that is better than alot of paid for courses I'm sure. I'd say I'm somewhere near you when you started making the lessons, learned a couple of the licks etc, keep them coming! One thing I've noticed particularly is how Slash, G# and Lazlo pick is quite different to what you'd consider the normal taught approach, and none of them mention it too much in their lessons.. The picking I think is part of the equation in getting up to speed, but it's not metal alternate pick slanting etc.. Still trying to figure it out! Any advice welcome! Great playing again.

@@edlander1797 cool man, glad the lessons I did have helped some. Yea, I never claim to be as good as those guys but thought I was good Enough to try and help some people. As much as I love G and laszlo sometimes their videos aren’t the best for learning, at least for me. You can definitely find a few that each do that’s more clear but many maybe the cam angle isn’t good or they go too fast or don’t repeat enough. I personally learned more licks from a course from Brett Papa and then just kind of played those licks in More slash style way. Basically a lot of the same type licks but just a different vibe. Regarding the picking hand, I have to admit I pay little attention to it! I wasn’t taught formally and definitely hold the pick in a slightly unorthodox way. Like I don’t flap my thumb over the pick (unless I’m doing heavy rhythm like in an acoustic), but hold my thumb very close to the edge of the pick. It results in some accidental harmonics for sure. But I think I alternate pick but don’t think I hold it slanted. It’s all intuition on that side for me, for better or worse. I know Jakob really emphasizes picking really hard to get a slash sound but it’s not how I like it play. I’m more of a softer touch and will just keep my own style in that respect. Come to think i don’t think G or laszlo do that heavy picking like Jakob either. I know it can give you that chirpy sound but I’m not too into that. Thanks again 👍🏼🎸

@@igorwoos3151 thanks man! Do you mean the inlays? Yea, the are definitely yellow / green ha. It’s not a great look! This guitar is a 2005 LP classic I just picked up locally. Those years they tried this aged inlay look, that’s why I called it the green machine” ha. I don’t like the inlays but the guitar plays freakin awesome. It also weighs a freakin ton.

@@slashtrio haha, for me there are only advantages, I like it when the guitar is heavy, but overall this guitar is beautifull

@@igorwoos3151 thanks man. I really didn’t need another LP but just went into a little local store and saw it and had to play it. And I really liked the way it played, plays as good as my more expensive standards. Has a thin neck which I usually prefer a thicker neck but this one is nice. Yea it’s like 10.5 lbs! But I play sitting so it’s doesn’t really matter. My other LPs are between 8.5 and 9 lbs. but yea, this one surprised me.

@@maryp5568 thanks for the kind words and positive feedback! 😊👍🏼🤘🏼🎸

@@eddu_abreu Thanks for stopping by for a listen 👍🏼🤘🏼🎸😎

@@DragDealer hey my friend, I’m glad to hear that my lesson videos have been helpful to you🤘🏼👍🏼. I will definitely do more eventually, I just didn’t want to start repeating myself too much. I’ll try and come up with something soon. Thanks again 🎸👍🏼

@@augustocarvalho7357 thanks man!! I appreciate the awesome feedback. So, a lot of going on here with sound / tone. I use a kemper profiler amp and connect it to either a 1x12 cab or play it through my Yamaha THR10 desk amp on “flat mode” (basically using the THR10 as studio monitors). This was through THR10 on this video. The profile I was using on the kemper was of a Friedman Dirty Shirley amp which sounds like an old Marshal (plexi maybe) but not too much distortion but has a great base rock tone to sculpt. The last ingredient is an actual Boss GE-7 EQ pedal in front of the amp which serves as a OD boost but also allows me to shape that slash type tone. Reverb in the amp. This particular guitar also has really hot pickups, like too hot for me in general but very good for slash sound. Sorry for all the info! For what it’s worth I just got the BOSS GE-7 and it’s an excellent pedal that really helps get a slash type tone. Thanks again !🎸🤘🏼

Hey thanks, these are the ceramic 500Ts…..I believe that’s what their called. There is another number I’m leaving off but I don’t recall it off hand. They are quite hot, definitely hotter than any slash pups, but they do get a great slash type tone actually, at least on my set up. They don’t clean up as nice as Seymour Duncan’s but they rad for this type of thing.

Thanks man 🤘🏼🎸
