Thunderstruck from ACDC my friend🤟

I mean, there's a lot of great intros but this is definitely in the top 5 or 10!
@@justthisguyyouknow42definitely not lol. Great but definitely not top 10
I think its the greatest opening to an album. One of the greatest albums ever recorded too.
Slash is a national treasure.
Gary Moore and The Edge are better.
Yessir❤
@@YinWhoo-zx2szthe egde u2 make ya wanna go sleep man
@@YinWhoo-zx2szlmao whether anyone agrees with your comment or not it doesn’t mean he’s not a national treasure
British legend
This riff is amazing. Definitely not as simple as Slash makes it out to be. Lol. Slash was definitely one of the few that truly made me pick up a guitar. Thank you Slash.
Very easy. 6 note walk down, pick each note twice except for the last two (one two, one two, one two, one two, one, one). Throw on reverb, then tinker with it until it resounds before the second pick, i.e. so that it sounds like each note is picked three times with the last two sounding like they're picked twice (one two three, one two three, one two three, one two three, one two, one two - or, pick reverb pick, pick reverb pick, pick reverb pick, pick reverb pick, pick reverb, pick reverb).
@@hanburgundy4317
So one of those notes is actually the echo of a note already played?
I’ve been trying to pick them all and it’s pretty tough getting them all in at that speed
@@minnesotajack1 Yeah, you can hear the delay/echo he's using on this video. Just those 6 decending notes, delay set to quarter notes with several repeats.
@@BrettEPierce That's not right. On the recorded song the delay is only on those first two notes before the riff starts. He has a tiny bit of delay here but the sound comes from the open E which he explains here. He's playing the descending riff but between each note he's picking that open E. It's really freaking hard to do it.
I don't hear that open E at all 😮 I made mine sound similar unplugged so maybe if I play it with a delay, it'll sound similar but I really can't hear it despite this video
God I fuckin love Slash. Coolest dude on the planet
FUCKING LEGEND FOREVER
That title would go to Keith Richards but I’d say Slash is a close #2.
Slash isn't real bro. Like Santa Claus
@@stephenhurd1489LIES!!! I saw him in a mall once...
Saw an interview where the guy asked Slash what he’s doing when not on the road. He said- “Taking guitar lessons”. He complimented this jazz guitarist that was giving him lessons and really opening up his playing and composing on the guitar. So cool 😎.
His nonchalant composure and humility blow my mind. He's awesome.
It never gets old.
Not true my high school was the tigers and I heard this so much to the point it makes me want to vomit. Slash is still a Bad MF though.
You know what does get old? That dudes fucking haircut 😂
@@Iwontreadyourreply🤡
@@Iwontreadyourreply why would he change it at this point… plus he would probably look strange with a different hairstyle at this point the hair suits him it’s his signature hair now
the epitome of keep it simple, a stonking tone and a simple riff turns into one of the best intro's of all time
It’s not simple though, if you look up sheet music for it even a lot of that will be incorrect cause there’s so many little in between plucks you barely hear but makes it sound just right
@@jtluns9 just keep practicing buddy, eventually certain riffs come as naturally as breathing 👍
@@jtluns9It's the delay pedal that does all the work of those "in between" notes. The song is in 4/4, but like The Edge made famous in U2, Slash used the trick where the echoes repeat in 3/4 in a sense (triplet delay). This creates a very rhythmic effect where the repeats happen on the "off-beats," and it makes something that is incredibly easy to play and on the beat sound much more rhythmically complex.
@@boardsaith5591yet if you post yourself playing this song or any song, I’d bet everything I own you play virtually everything wrong. People who believe guitarists like slash or even Kurt Cobain are “simple” just know how to play most of the right notes or chords, but not the right timing, or dynamics, or feel , etc. I’ve only heard smells like teen spirit intro riff played correctly by someone other than me or Kurt , maybe once in my life. The other 100 times it was played wrong.
@@Gcssdvnkloiutesc smells like teen spirit, take a walk 🤣
The crowd is usually so quiet when they start that song because they want to hear every note ...amazing.
When I went to their show in Montreal the crowd went quiet just to hear it, the coolest thing ever.
If you pay attention it has an air...influence run like hell by pink floyd. .from the album the wall.

And then start cheering when Axl's scream starts. Because nobody wants to hear that 😅
Guns N Roses should hire him
yeah they should
hahahahahaha
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😂😂😂😂 LOL
Really !?Thats crazyyy
JAJAJSKSJSVNHNH
One of the most Iconic riffs in Rock History. Slash is one of my heros.
‘Slash explains fuck all.’
Hahah right he like I just do this😮
He actually does explain it.. but explaining and doing are two different things on guitar. A thing simply explain can takes years of toil to do
He explained it. It's a melody pedaling on the open E. Now playing it is different story
@@hotman718 lol ya...pedalling the open "E". Not "B" which is what he is ACTUALLY playing. I love Slash explains nothing videos lol.
@@davekern1076yeah B
Ive met slash a few decades ago. Omg he was bored stiff n a little bit anxious. I told him a funny story about myself. He totally relaxed. Slash needed a good side aching laugh. Immensly helped him. Im a part time road musician with a so called regular job. We swapped bad motel n hotel stories.
You should never name-drop the people you’ve met. Burt Reynolds taught me that lesson.
@@thomascunningham2919Bob Johnsonbaugh our local 6 news anchor told me the same thing. How uncanny.
@@thomascunningham2919
😂😂😂
If that is true You are si lucky
@@thomascunningham2919 Lol nice
Good to see Nikki is finally getting a lesson. Pretty soon he might actually be able to play one.
Nikki is taking bass lessons, blues guitar lessons, plays piano, and has written many of Motley Crue's songs, (around 50), wrote music and lyrics.
@@gedaom Yeah, that's why they have to play a tape when they are live. He has lost ALL credibility. He should just take all the money he fraudulently earned and go away.
@@dbdb703 they use tape for other things, like a cello in a ballad, or other music parts, but they do play live
@@dbdb703 that's such a terrible boomer take. Although it depends on the genre and the band itself, there's tons of bands that plays live that goes back for more than 50 years up until now uses tracks to add ambiance, body and more to their sound.
They're not a band that plays on their garage, they play on huge stadiums and venues and great audience experience is one of the goals. Therefore they need to use tracks for better production quality on their live shows. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Yea, the dude is a complete FRAUD.
This is why I play hairband music. Slash is the best of the best
That’s the thing about hair band music. To be a guitarist in the genre, you had to have a complete mastery of the instrument. Along comes Cobain with his rudimentary skills, and the “best” lead guitarist of grunge (Pearl Jam) had a modest collection of pentatonic licks that could be copied by anyone in their first year of playing.
One of the greatest guitarists of all time
Honestly, whos better than slash?
I mean, he's definitely one of the guitar players of all time
Girl, byee@@slickmeleon69
@@E30Tylerrr I greatly admire Slash, but Ritchie Blackmore is superior to me.. And Brian May is god.. The GOAT..
I would say your correct if we're talking living guitarists. If not, then Eddie Van halen hands down.
Such an iconic sound
Best opening ever
Man I wish I had that talent
Just practice literally anybody can get good at any instrument if they practice, some progress faster than others but if you stick with it and stay dedicated you can become great, I never knew I was good at playing music till I started practicing at 19 now I’m 22 and I can play 7 different instruments pretty well
Practice.
Slash never explains, he just play. I don't know how he got to compose those arpegios as he always miss the note he is saying with what he is playing or at least he is unsure about the scale .
@@davidBarrel just by hearing
@@UmbilicalNightmare naah, there is alwas a method, a form of developing your music call it scale or whatever, even gipsys have thir method
That SCRATCH! ❤
WE love you Slash!
Kurt Cobain
Slash never looks like he gets old lol
Sunglasses and hats age slower 😅
Drank keefs blood.
If you see him in good lighting and with no shades, hat or filter he def looks his age
It's the melanin
I couldn’t help but smile. Legend.
NINGUÉM toca essa música melhor do que o próprio Slash. Nenhum dos ex-guitarristas do GNR conseguia extrair este som, fiel ao original.
Existe muita gente que consegue tocar com uma técnica superior a do slash(buckethead por exemplo), mas ninguém toca igual ele🤫🧏♂️
That legendary intro was Slash's magixxx. No one could play as original as him
Just seen this live twice. Never gets old. This riff sends chills down my spine
So simple and yet so great. Most of my favorite riffs are simple. Simple and iconic.
Living legend.
Yeah, probably top 3500 guitar player all time
NIKK AND SLASH!!!!!
Slash is a phenomenal composer!
Are we related?
What a riff. It's so simple but got such a hook. Slash is the man. 😎🤟
If we close our eyes, we will know that it is he who is playing, his timbre is unmistakable, a signature.... Unique!!!
He looked like he was having a flashback there for a moment. Rock on ! 🤘
He's awesome. The Paradise City lead is absolutely incredible. We must be connected in some way, because I have a similar style. He's truly comfortable in his own skin. 🤘
Goosebumps everytime that rif starts…
Nikki sixx .motley crue..🇮🇩🤘👍
Fucking greatest rock riff off all the time
Yeah, not even top million, pal
The dude can shred.
He knows it !!! I watchem them last year again, great show. Thank you GnR !!!
Slash Should’ve said “you fired Mick Mars I’m not talking to you bye”….
Why?
Whoa! Wait! ....What?! Motley Crue fired Mick Mars?! 😳 please tell me you're joking! Please.
Wish he did but I liked watching it and it's true I've never even given it a try on the guitar. Just dis and it is A monster lick
I'm so glad we have this interview with Slash and Vinnie Paul.
The Master makes it look so easy, Slash is a phenom on the guitar, definitely one of the greats!!!
Just about every single guitarist gets this one wrong.
So in the VERY beginning, there is a delay. You're fretting the 4th fret G string, while alternate picking between the G and B strings a few times, then letting the delay trail off.
Somewhere, guitarists got it in their head that the pattern which follows this part (G 4th/2nd fret, D 4th/2nd fret, etc etc) is ALSO played with that delay, and the sound you're hearing is that same delay repeating the notes of that pattern.
This is completely wrong.
Telltale signs of this was that repeating B drone note in between the notes within that pattern that was never struck in the places it would have had to have been struck in order for the delay to continuously repeat the drone note like that. Also, you can clearly hear in the recording the dithering that's present when the delay is active, then the guitar sound on this part becomes more direct as the delay is switched off.
Taking the pattern into context, then realizing it was actually that pattern, but with the open B string struck in between each note...that was the secret.
I've tried to explain this to damn near every guitarist I know, only to get met with push back (no, it's that delay, you don't know what you're talking about). Funny how when I play it, it sounds exactly like the record. Even better now that we have a video coming straight from the horse's mouth confirming what I've known all along.
It is a difficult picking pattern to master, but once you do, that song becomes so fun to play just for that part alone.
Thank you so much for this!!!
Very good
Thanks for the quick tutorial. Trying to get some basic answers from musicians can be frustrating, humiliating, even terrifying! Haha! So many hidden landmines when navigating through a conversation with temperamental fragile ego musicians. It's gotten a lot better since UA-cam made guitar tricks and secrets an open source, free use, available to everyone resource. I understand it's like learning how magicians pull off their tricks and then standing in the back of the venue loudly proclaiming that "Oh, I know exactly how he did that." "It's really quite simple." "Here, I'll show you all how it's done," haha! But, so what if there are 20 million guitar players that can play circles around me, they didn't come up with my hook on the one hit wonder song that's still paying my rent after all these years. It's not all about you, Mr. Guitar God, you know who you are, it's about what sounds good to the folks who buy tickets and support our dwindling venues.
A legend learns from a legend!!!
Who exactly are you referring to? The guy with the wig, the bandana and the flannel? 🤣 Never heard of him. There is only one LEGEND seen here, sir Slash.
@@bullittoothtony4043🤘👍
Iconic. Good music never gets old. One of the best rock songs, ever.
E uma pessoa boa..faz com simplicidade por isso e cativante 😊
Slash é muito foda, coisa de gênio!!!
💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That’s basically it lol
Yeah, what do you expect? This is like the 3542nd best guitar riff of all time.
Even seeing it I still am mesmerized.
Had that tape in 96 been a fan.of gnr ever since ❤😊
oh my God...
Good morning to everybody on youtube
I love watching him start it live
Seen slash play for three fuxing hours live he is incredible, even whit the tricks just incredible
Slash was the highlight of our show.
Hes the best in the world . Gotta love that intro. Im so grateful I got to see guns n roses in concert on the 12th
AWESOME!! TO SEE YOU 2 TOGETHER !! KILLER RIFF.
Love Slash! Absolute LEGENDARY GOAT!!!
Can we aske him to play any MC bassline ?
I was just thinking of the irony in this video. I’d love to see slash asking to play kickstart my heart and Nikki is all like “so that’s the end of today’s episode” 💀💀💀
#metaroast
Man, can you imagine what it must of felt like when he came up with that riff and then everyone started contributing
Bruh 🥹🤯
MUST'VE been great.
So beautifully spoken with such a soft voice 💘
So effortlessly 🔥 so glad i got to see him live
Every decent guitarist, back in the day, could play this in like 5 minutes with a delay pedal, really?
A delay pedal 😂 yes he uses one on the record but he still alternate picks like he shows here, the delay pedal is only used to give the riff an echo. The alternate picking part is actually a bit tough
Sure, anyone can play it. If you want to make it sound identical, that's another story. I've been playing for almost 10 years, and in that time, you figure out that there is SO MUCH more to a riff than just being able to play it...
Its not an easy riff. In fact slash himself plays it different from the studio recording. He does the alternate picking part about 6 times in the intro then the last 3 times hes only hitting single strings in the recording. The timing is also difficult because it sounds quicker in the stuido recording than it actually is played, it sounds quicker because they used the delay on an SRV 2000 rack unit.
When he plays it live, and even here hes playing it faster than the recording.
Most likely played the riff wrong, and it never sounded like the actual riff, that slash plays
@@LewisLivingLife its a basic riff as far as notes are concerned, it takes a bit of practice to get down. What makes it difficult is the sliding on the initial note (this makes a difference), speed of the alternate picking, delay gear used (roland srv 2000 was used on the recording), tone (a marshall with a 36 mod was used). All of the above are why its difficult to replicate that intro.
He’s a dude ! 😎
Loved Guns n Roses concert….Slash & Duff are amazing
Hudson Slash é um Show man, 🇧🇷 i loveself be brazilian!
Even after he explains it i still don't know how he does it
I may be cool, but I’ll never be Slash cool
Dam right
I love slash😊! Love how he pops up randomly
Such a great riff. I played it by accident a few yrs ago just riffing. Was so excited when i realized whet it was. Simple but awesome.
Slash and Nikki oh fuck this is so cool bro
Nikki Sixx is a literal genius. There would be no GnR if it wasn’t for Motley Crue. Nikki Sixx may be a little pretentious at times, but he is a bona fide Rockstar the likes of which the world will never see again. Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil are Smithsonian masterpieces
Shout at the devil🙌🙌🙌
One of the greatest riffs in rock history!
that's why he's a famous, rich and iconic guitarist
Everyone is talking about Slash who is great by the way, but man... Mr. Nikki Sixx is another legend. Never seen these two together before.
The man can make that guitar sing like an angel.
Aguante la pentatónica carajoooo!!! Desde Argentina, la jungla del rock latino.. capo total Slash! Me comí Apetito por destrucción de pibe. Discazo...
I really like Slash. Always have and my ability seems to be within reach of his. AND, he’s the one that influenced me getting a Les Paul.
So dope. The vibe is exceptional.
the great iconic intro
I mean, it's definitely an intro, but that's about it. Not even a top 2,000 song all time
Wow so nice looking I knew it when I was 15 years old Go Slash Frances Ann ❤✌️♥️🙏
Can’t wait to see this in München next spring!!
Sixx n Slash.... my fave musician
He makes it seem SOO easy. He does it so smooth
That’s such a bad ass riff. Especially for the intro. I have really never heard anything like it to this day.
I Love all the songs of guns n roses , and the members of group . ❤ .
That's a kick ass intro for sure you got to love that delay...🎸💥💯💥🎸👍🔥🔥🔥🔥💀☠️💀
So much for him explaining how to play it.
My favorite guitarist, period.
Mestre nas guitarra 🎸 🎸 🎸 ❤❤❤
Beautiful and wonderful harmoni 🥰🥰👍👍😎😎🤟🤟
Wow so easy and so cool. I just saw them in Vancouver and they ask are class one musicians ❤
I ran up the corridor with the GnR album at school. Brandishing it. It was good.
Love ❤️ you, Slash
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Heard slash play that tonight in person Hollywood Bowl! 🎉
El riff que inmortalizó a Slash y a guns n roses..
A man at the top of his profession. Cuddles
Slash y Kennedy 7/2/24 Antel Arena Montevideo Uruguay ahí estaré 🤘🤘🤘
The right hand is often overlooked when people talk about slash but damn so effortless 😮
I am a Zakk Wylde fanatic..but I realized... Actually.. Slash s guitar skill is super possessive..his riff are memorable.. it hooks everytime where else Zakks super fast and almost computer like.. Zakks hooks marvelous and Slashs are just Brilliant
Jesus, literal chills for that rift!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 holy crap this was AWESOME!
Thats great, I have a feeling he's gonna make it big one day
