Vincent Vega Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 On some of the solos on the UYIs, does Slash use shredding sparingly as a method? Not all the time--just for tiny bits of a solo?I've always kind of wondered what shredding entails exactly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Slash shreds quite a bit. The difference is, he moves his guitar around a bit and makes cumfaces while doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Shredding is a very broad term when it comes to guitar. Generally it just means to play fast, so I'd say yes, Slash can definitely shred. Sometimes it's used just to describe something that sounds awesome or impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiaz06 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Not in the sense like metal guitarists. . he relies heavily on legato for speed. Look at the paradise city outro solo for ex. That mixed with a little wah creates the illusion of "shredding". Edited May 28, 2012 by californiaz06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mixed with a little wah creates the illusion of "shredding".Just because he uses his left hand for shredding (playing fast) doesn't mean it's fake. I'd say he's not a slow guitar player at all.He doesn't use his picking hand like most shredders tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see "fast" or "shredding" then look at Buckethead. But I'd take Slash over Buckethead obv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You'd have to find pre GnR tapes of Slash where he prob. did more cover songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
