Mash And Flutter: Slash Solo Licks Lesson 6 of 6

[LegendaryRock10]

THANK U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abakri]

agreed. these are the best slash licks lessons. much appreciated!

[wweandtna12]

@jazs212 so true

Amazing video, these licks are pretty easy and can do wonders for people like me who need to throw some spices into their soloing.

Thanks very much!

[jazs212]

come on people instead asking for tabs try to get it by ear, better than tabs :).

[olystercrowley]

Thanks for this.

I don't know if you meant to post how slash plays this lick but it's not.

[lingfield]

hey do you pick with downstrokes or a combination on this lick?

[Raul1Silva]

today i graduate...

[musician4781]

Great lessons

[Niamreg888]

Can you give me some tips on how playing these licks up to speed ? Some of them are really fast, its easy to mess up

[desmoblio]

Fratello questo lick lo cerco da una vita.....finalmente,grazie di vero cuore!!!

[desmoblio]

Fratelli questo lick lo cerco da una vita ....finalmente!grazie di vero cuore!

[blackshade69]

Hey i dont suppose you could share your guitar rig 3 settings could you really dig your tone :)

[mashandflutter]

@blackshade69 I'm just using the Pink Numb stock preset in GR3.

[6378962ROCK]

actually its from slash's solo in France right?

[mashandflutter]

@6378962ROCK He uses the same licks in both the Tokyo and France Solos.

[chadgarber]

And actually I just watched the solo by slash and he does use the first three fingers on the first part and the 3rd and 4rth fingers on the second part (still using the second finger for b string note)

[mashandflutter]

@chadgarber Honestly it doesn't matter so long as get the sound you want. I do it my way because I like encouraging people to use their fourth finger since the world has too many three fingered guitarists ;)

[chadgarber]

(but by the way, I love all six of these videos on slash licks. Thank you)

[mashandflutter]

@chadgarber You're totally welcome!

[chadgarber]

Sorry for all the question but it seems a lot easier for me to do the whole first phrase with my first three fingers and using my second finger for the b string and then to use my 3rd and 4th fingers for the second part the lick while still using the second finger on the b string note. Thoughts?

[LatinoLiam]

These are without a DOUBT THE BEST Slash lick lesson videoo's I have ever come across on Youtube! Thankyou man!

[mashandflutter]

@LatinoLiam Awwww, you're too cool. I'm glad you're learning something from these!

[kuruuzum]

tahnk u for lessons.. and u'r fingers re so fast dude ! ı love it

[mashandflutter]

@kuruuzum Just keep practicing and yours will become faster than mine!

[douglasbritto93]

hey what kind of effects do you use?i know there is some delay and reverb but i what know if you use the overdrive from the amp or a pedal and what are your amps settings like treble,midlle,bass,gain.thanks man you rock!!

[sunbomber]

hey, man! greetings from russia, moscow!

great job! been looking for how to play those licks right for ages)

thank you!

[mashandflutter]

@sunbomber Hell yeah! Russia in the house! Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm thrilled you're finding the lessons helpful.

[AliceinChains8593]

This is a toootal Paul Gilbert thing. I'm guilty of using it myself.

[mashandflutter]

@AliceinChains8593 Yep, Gilbert rules;)

[Marekattack]

Thnx for all these awesome licks! my fingers are bleeding thnx to you and I mean that in a good way haha but..this lick? In what key can u use it?

[mashandflutter]

@Marekattack Haha, don't hurt yourself! ;) You can use any of the licks in these lessons in any key.

[nine9live5]

lol pause at 0:40 xD

[mashandflutter]

@nine9live5 Being able to laugh at yourself is a good thing ;)

[gengisdiaz]

Good work!!! Very good videos, the best slash´s licks lessons on internet. Very easy to understand, don´t need tabs at all!!! (those ones who ask for tab must be very lazy and don´t deserve this blessing). The animations are ok, watch them is a little price to pay for : )

[mashandflutter]

@gengisdiaz Thanks! Yeah, I don't think tabs are necessary either.

[PahDudaA]

VERYY GOOD !!

[mashandflutter]

@PahDudaA Many thanks Pah!

[vonpistol]

in what mode are all the 6 licks?

[mashandflutter]

@vonpistol Whatever mode you want them to be in. These licks can be used everywhere.

[MrJoelguitar]

these licks hurt so much cuz i never use my pinky :)

[Ventalei]

00.41? Who's he?

[slash4853]

men thats a killer lick

[rune6134]

thx its impossible for me to learn solos off paper but ur videos i watch one time and know immediatley this has helped me im press many teachers and in audtitions thanks alot

[mashandflutter]

Thanks! You're very welcome. People like you are what makes these videos worth making.

[Matheus222]

People like you make music alot easier to learn (not because you teach it - because it gives me hope that there's people helping me progressing!)

[msuman91]

i was hoping you did ths one while i was watching the vids in order

[mashandflutter]

Then it's your lucky day! ;)

[epiphone493]

thanks for the video,i have learn many licks from you man...you're a good teacher...and one other things that I respected you,you have a good fingering...i couldn't catch up with you...i'm just a bigginner...

[mashandflutter]

Dude, you're awesome regardless of whether you're a beginner or not. You have the right attitude and with some practice you'll play these licks faster than me!

[stratoforce12]

Dude. You match slash easily. There isn't anything wrongwith these videos. You should show how to play that riff in the beginning of the videos.

[mashandflutter]

Thanks for writing in! Which riff are you talking about?

[stratoforce12]

The really cool riff in the very begining.

[mashandflutter]

It's very flattering that you would like to learn a riff I wrote! Tabbing and doing these video lessons take a lot of time but when I get the chance l'll make a lesson video for it.

[LatinoHeat7777777]

@mashflutter Your licks are awesome. I just watched the 6 videos and maybe you don't need to make a tab video but maybe you could simply write the tabs and put a download link where the people who watch the video could download it.

Absolutely great job, I'll surely learn those licks and try to see what I can do once I learned them all and can play them at the right speed.

Thanks for the time you put on your videos. Btw some parts are completely random and hilarious just like at 00:40.

[mashandflutter]

Many many thanks! I have thought about adding tabs, however, I think that these lessons are simple and short enough that tabs are not really needed. But trust me, I have thought about it. Also I have no doubt that you will learn the licks at the right speed. Finally thank you so much for appreciating and understanding our random sense of humor!

[ShirayuriSky]

Hey

Thank you for making these videos, the licks are just awesome, I've learned a lot of my favorite guitarist too.

Have you considered making more of these vids?

[mashandflutter]

@ShirayuriSky You're totally welcome and thanks for the kind words. At some point I'll make some more when I have time.

[Schuey4ever]

that should read 'if you get the chance to post more lessons...'

[Schuey4ever]

this man is my idol...after Slash of course! what a savage lick that is, thanks for the lesson man, you seem like a really cool guy. if you get the chance I'm sure every Slash fan would appreciate your effort.

[mashandflutter]

Ha! I try to be a cool guy ;) Thanks for taking the time to write in, I appreciate the kind words.

[mashandflutter]

I'm sure I'll eventually post some more lessons, I just haven't had the chance yet.

[ide1280]

Man veeeeeery thanks for this licks !!!!!

It's very cool !!!

[mashandflutter]

You're veeeeeery welcome!!!!!

[stratoshorty27]

such a good job of explianing u should teach guitar if u dont already. So u just use a bit of delay and reverb in the solos?

[mashandflutter]

Thank you very much stratoshorty27!  Yeah, I'm using reverb and delay very sparingly. You want the tone to really come from your fingers. Too many effects can sound cheesy.

[mashandflutter]

@stratoshorty27 You're too kind, thank you. Use of effects are totally personal taste. But for what it's worth I did use a little delay and reverb.

[updogs]

man these are sick.. u should show some lessions of the angus young solo.. the one where he stripps

[mashandflutter]

You mean "The Jack"? Yeah, I like that song too!

[mikeg123123]

ure fuckin great best on youtube

[Shelbones01]

you should just do a lesson on that solo, from one of my favorite GN'R concerts

[patthy89]

cool dude i must say your pinky finger are sure strong! tnx for the lesson

[mashandflutter]

You're totally welcome!! With a little practice your pinky finger can be strong too. It's really worth practicing and using because you'll become a more versatile guitarist.

[xxxEnterSandmanXxX]

thanks man insane lesson just the licks i was looking for! great lessons!

[mashandflutter]

Thanks Sandman!!! I'm very glad that you find them useful!!!

[flyleader]

You should release backing track and tabs for "The grind"

[mashandflutter]

Wow, this is one hell of a compliment. Thank you so much. And thanks again for listening to our original music!!!

Honestly, I really haven't thought about putting tabs together just yet. Doing the tabs correctly would take some time. If enough people ask I'll do it!

[GuitarHero2320]

hi men, great lessons!!!!, they really helped me out dig slash's tone and technique. PLEASE do some new lessons fron the Paris 92 Solo, please. thanks and keep on rocking!!!! : )

[pobhockle]

Thanks for these. They were exactly what I was looking for. There seems to be a limit to how fast I can play each one, been playing for years but the hand isn't strong enough to do it..

[mashandflutter]

You're absolutely welcome! You can totally learn these licks. Even though you have been playing for years, perhaps your hands aren't used to playing these positions. Just practice these daily and in due time you'll play them the way you want to!

[pobhockle]

There's another problem; the string I'm bending and finger go under the g string...I've noticed that when I bend, I use the first finger to cover the g and d strings to make them all flat.

Are these licks possible on a high action/cheap guitar?

Thanks again.

[EvaSlash]

teach us some more slash licks from the godfather solo plzzzzzzzzzz i beg uuuuuuuuuu

[mashandflutter]

We'll do that when we have some more time! Things are insanely busy right now.

[marcusmarkmus]

awsome lick! i believe i heard it in Foreplay one too? =)

[mashandflutter]

You have a keen ear marcusmarkus;)

[Theyatomicpunk]

and G harmonic minor

[Theyatomicpunk]

isint the solo in the key of G minor pentatonic and F harmonic minor?

[mashandflutter]

Are talking about the ENTIRE solo or just the solo lick above?

[Theyatomicpunk]

the entire solo

[KillarBigT]

Thanks man for all 6, i have a gig soon and this really helped

[mashandflutter]

Awesome! I'm thrilled these lessons helped you!

Dude, you have to bust some of these licks out and then tell me how your gig went!

[aerosmith42]

thanksss man do you have make all the solo

[mashandflutter]

You're welcome!!!!!

[mbamini]

amazing man

you really rock it

[mashandflutter]

Ah thanks dude! You rock as well!

[deapwavelio]

Can you explain me the scale please?

[dirtydeeds73]

its not one scale

that's why it sounds evil.

i believe he's using and F# minor blues scale (with the flat 5th) and then switching to an F Harmonic minor. And then rotates between the two.

[dirtydeeds73]

whoops i mean F# Harmonic minor.

[mashandflutter]

You're the man dirtydeeds73, thanks for jumping in and giving the answer!

[dirtydeeds73]

hahaha thanks

you guys rock! i love the tone of the guitar

[mitkoinhitko]

You're totally awesome and sound very much like Slash! I was wondering if you ever plan on doing a Michael Angelo Batio lesson?

[mashandflutter]

Thank you very much...

...and no.

[RatMcCashis]

Great vid man sounds exactly like slash.

I got a question though. I have a hard time getting a good sound when I hammer on with my 4th finger, any tips for strengthening a pinky finger and getting that down?

[mashandflutter]

Thanks for the kind words.

The best tip I can give you is to keep playing this lick. If you like it, you will continue to be motivated to practice it. There's no magic excercise to strengthen your pinky, you just have to keep using it.

[stryder2277]

hey i love this lick and you do it so well. I think in time i can do this lick but itt eels awkward because im doing some thinking while doing this lick since im not used to it. just out of curiosity how long did it take you to master this lick and the others for that matter?

[mashandflutter]

Honestly, I'm not sure how long it took me to learn this lick. Playing anything new always feels awkward. But trust me, the more you practice it, the easier it will get.

[nbmata8]

Awesome! You rock!

Thanks

[mashandflutter]

And you totally rock too! Thanks!

[JamesWilliamson82]

Dude, really thanks a lot for those licks! Not only that they are ass-kickin', but also you explained them in a very cool way. Best wishes to your career! Maciej

[mashandflutter]

You're totally welcome and thanks for the kind words!

[Ir1s1]

Kickass lesson- sounds spot on!

[mashandflutter]

Awesome! Thank you very much! I tried to make it sound as authentic as possible ;)

[Ir1s1]

Yeah, it shows! Btw - I assume that the music that plays in the cutscenes of these videos is by your band? Sounds pretty tight...Do you have a record?

[mashandflutter]

Yes, the music in the cutscenes is indeed our original stuff. There are 4 full hi-res tracks available for FREE of our website! No ads, no e-mail addresses, none of that bullshit. Just download and enjoy;) A record will be forthcoming eventually;)

[Ir1s1]

Awesome! Thx

[piraten1]

First great lesson.The best Slash lesson on youtube.

And

Dude i like the sound very much.

Could you maybe tell me what settings your using because i tryng to that this sound since 2 years.I got an Les paul to. Yours is a gibson right.

[mashandflutter]

Thank you very much! Yes, it's a Gibson Les Paul standard. Settings will be difficult to discuss because I'm not actually using an amp at all. It's a VST Instrument called Guitar Rig 3 made by Native Instruments. Check it out, it's pretty sweet.

[wern1440]

could that vst guitar rig thing be any more fricking confusing i googled it and i wasnt even planning on downloading it and i just got confused looking at all of it i think that its more fun to have a real amp and find your own sound through it but that sound you have there is pretty fucking nice and ive never seen that type of sunburst i think its nice

[mashandflutter]

You make a good point. While there's nothing like jamming out on a really nice tube amp, I've come to rely on GR3 because my bandmate lives in NY and I live in LA. So it's really easy to lay down great sounding guitar tracks without all of the gear, cords, pedals, etc. and I can just e-mail them off. In fact, I haven't used a real amp for any of the music I've done for Mash and Flutter.

[wern1440]

well i think if that gr3 thing was easier to use id try it out but i like tube amps more and just blasting it to when you walk out of the room you have to scream to talk to people cuz your ears are ringing

[Sprangone84]

grande ragazzo.....grazie mille davvero...6 1 bestia....:-)

[SquiLLguitar51]

great playing, im a slash fan too

i was wondering which era of slash's tone you like best: Appetite, Use Your Illusion, Velvet Revolver?

[mashandflutter]

Thanks and great question!

In my humble opinion, Slash's best guitar tone was on the first Snakepit album, 'It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.' His tone was just killer on that record (also a very underrated rock record too.)

I also loved his tone on the Illusions records (gnarly and almost buzzsaw like at times). AFD is obviously classic, but surprisingly not my favorite.

[mashandflutter]

His tone on Ain't Life Grand to the last two VR records have done nothing for me unfortunately. His tone nowadays just lacks the attitude and aggression it used to have.

[SquiLLguitar51]

i have never looked into his snakepit record to be honest, but i also love the Illusions records (hard to get though)

thanks a lot for answering back

[mashandflutter]

Do yourself a favor and check out 'It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.' (You can download it just about anywhere). It was allegedly all of the material Slash was working on after The Spaghetti Incident for the new GNR Record. To me it was some of his best guitarwork that never got noticed. And his tone is lights out!

[16YearsInHell]

I love 'it's Five O'Clock Somewhere' !!!!!:O

[mashandflutter]

Yeah, very underrated record.

[tunihardrocker]

DUDE!!!!

i have only one word in my mind after seeing your vids: RESPECT!!!!

by the way...thanx for sharing your talent man coz i can't wait to practice it!!! and if slash watches this he would be proud of you kid lol!

[mashandflutter]

Much RESPECT to you too for checking out our vids! Many thanks!

[kdr120893]

dude thanks a lot these lick lessons have helped alot there the only ones on youtube which actually make sense lol

[mashandflutter]

That's a major compliment and we appreciate it. I'm thrilled that you find the vids useful!

[marcusmarkmus]

Hey dude, what about posting some stuff of your band? that would be so cool! i bet you would rock some serious socks off!! =D

[mashandflutter]

You rule marcusmarkus. That's an amazingly cool thing for you to say and it means a lot!

If you dig the music, you can find free MP3's of all of our music at our website, however we might also post the tracks here if it makes sense to do that. Eventually I'm sure we'll post concert vids. In the meantime we have to keep KrAnKiNg out original tracks ;)

[marcusmarkmus]

dude, i checked out your stuff on your site, and damn, that shit was mothaflippin' INTENSE dude! Carnival of Noise was some of the BEST ive heard from any "young" bands nowadays imo. I hope you dont mind me comparing you to slash, because that outro/solo of that song kinda had so much of the things i love about slash in it, but still it was your own! that was great! you just got yourself another fan!=D

[mashandflutter]

Okay, now I'm at a loss for words;)

I've always loved Slash's playing but one of my greatest fears has been that I've taken too much from him. The fact that you feel the playing on 'Carnival of Noise' still has my "own" voice is one of the greatest compliments I've ever received. I'm absolutely humbled that you're a fan of our music. Many thanks!

[BackSlashGUITAR]

YEAH!

[mashandflutter]

YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[JonnyGash]

Wow dat is beautifulll!!!

[mashandflutter]

Yep! Slash is the man! ;)

[mitkoinhitko]

[sk8borntodie]

thanksss! i love your videos... i need moreeee! xD 10 of 10 for example

[mashandflutter]

Thanks a lot! ;) Maybe we'll do more in the future, who knows!

[marcusmarkmus]

yeah, i dont know how long ive been sitting and listening to this trying to figure out what that lick was! almost had it, so perfect that this vid suddenly is here!!!

THANKS! =)

[mashandflutter]

You are so welcome!

[AEnimic461]

AWESOME STUFF!

This is much more useful for lazy guitarist like me who don't prefer to understand theory but want to sound good playing.

Kickass graphics too. But guys! Bring on some other guitarists styles too! :D

But this is good stuff.

[mashandflutter]

By broseph did the graphics! Pretty kickass I think;) 

Maybe in the future we'll do more, but in the meantime we have to continue to write more original tracks.

[CHCHOMP]

hey another great lick and great explanation, thanks guys, i hope you put more out here for us all:)

[mashandflutter]

It's possible! You never know! Thanks a million for checking our stuff out!

[smi5575]

DONT STOP AT 6 KEEP THE LICKS COMING!!!

[mashandflutter]

To be continued... ;)

[Atmxmurphy]

hey thanks for postin this, had to happen sometime ya know lol, this vid is more than useful too lol

[mashandflutter]

Yep, it finally happened! ;) I'm glad that the video is useful to you!

[Atmxmurphy]

will you guys be making any more vids like this in the future?

[mashandflutter]

At the moment there are no immediate plans. We have several other projects related to Mash and Flutter in the works. But you never know, when you least expect it there might be a Slash bonus licks video! ;)

[gnrfan0408]

NICE!

i was actually playing this lick previously but i was doin it way wrong
