Slash is one of the most ferocious and recognizable players of modern times. This is true not just because of his “look”, but also because of his timeless and melodic playing style, driving riffs, his songwriting abilities, and his uncanny knack for melody.

His playing often draws from his influences of bluesy licks and riffs of the classic rock era of the early to mid 1970’s. Slash has stated that his influences include Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young.

Slash’s lead guitar style is a mix of melodic blues-rock phrasing, fast legato, pedal tones, palm muting, mixing minor and major pentatonics, and heavy doses of the wah pedal.
