Babooshka Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 oooh that would be great!!I've tried to retrace my steps, but I can't find it. At the time I was searching for interviews from the AL era, and I came across it then.Anyway, if I came across it again, I'll remember to post here.

BetterDay7 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think I read that even Slash himself could not find this book again. Might be wrong but "if memory serves," as the man himself would say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooshka Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Well in the interview he said he eventually lost it, but a fan gave him a copy. He then lost that one, and the fan gave him another copy which he plans to keep safe. So at the time of the interview, he still had the book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATromp Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) You can actually download the book here: https://www.hightail.com/download/UlRTNU1GUnJ0QTAwTWNUQw It has the pages of the book as jpg's and the mp3's of the record. There's also a video on youtube of the lessons and the two songs: https://youtu.be/9TJh2qqkBB4 Hope that helps.

action Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) just done a quick first read through this book and the accompanying music files. wow, this book is the real deal. i think i have 12 or so books on blues lead guitar but this one beats them all easily. brilliant explanation on the boxes. i can see why Slash used this. also, i can see some of Slash's trademarks clearly finding their origins in this book. particularly the bluesy improv on the song "snaker" (i dont make this up, the song really is called "snaker". slash obviously loves snakes and snakepit does ring some bells too). this will get thorough study for the next couple of weeks.
