[ghostbusters938]

This man has skills! Dj, will you teach me? Haha.

[RClybeck]

I have never basically played fast solo sections, but I am getting faster all the time, if I get this right I will be really happy :)

[BekkersBelly]

Is that a stock Gibson Les Paul Traditional, or did you change the pickups??

[drockny]

So awesome that the writer of the music himself, shows the fans how to play the song. Even better he slows it down. DJ is really in touch w/ the masses! Way to go!

[cdoherty1290]

@Schulting Jake Pitts

[SilentNightBand]

@Schulting Brandon Small of Dethklok, but only a few times. It's pretty rare for a big time guitarist to take the time to do something like this.

[ANDROIDdeLUIS]

[ziggy72170]

[KlangbaumHerz]

OMG! A DOG!

[Nickyrose1993]

Slash no aparece en este video no comenten de el aqui a nadie le importa! :P comente en videos donde aparece con PAULINA RUBIO O FERGIE ;)

[GunnerAshbaRose]

@Nickyrose1993 jajaja muy de acuerdo!!!

[HEADSTOCK7]

u r sick man... that is the shit. d/l it last night, bout grab my guitar and follow your steps. i had a good idea where i was going with this but a few things slipped my mind once i saw your version. thanks man

[70ragtop]

Hey Fretshredder96, that "wanker" was a regular dude just like you, playing guitar in his bedroom. Copying his favorite players... Guess what homie? He was invited to play with Guns and Roses. Pretty freaking cool if you ask me. To top it off, DJ has so much class and respect for where he came from that he has taken the time from his busy schedule to show us, wish we were invited to play with Axl types, how to freaking play his songs!

Have some respect and decorum, dude.

[Tuscopa]

@70ragtop Enought said. Soime people just can´t respect people for what they are. People! And musicians. And diferent! Hell I like both Slash and DJ. Slash for the musician he is and for the pearls he offered us. Ashba for all his cool new ideas, is talent as a song writer and guitarrist and musician overall and for is enovative concept associated with is person and his life.

[Tuscopa]

Responder a este vídeo... A pretty straigght dorward dude if you ask me. Wish more could be like him. Like we saw in this videos. Taking the time to teach. Other "rock stars" would just be giving no shit to others.

Take care man.

[fretshredder96]

this wanker could never replace slash

[WhyteLis21]

awesome job ashba u guys are really true musicians out there!

[predador21]

he seems to be nervous when he plays slowly

[AppetiteForDemency]

you sustain is infinit?

[selahSCOUTairsoft]

effects on the slide??

[HardcoreCinematics]

@selahSCOUTairsoft sounds like he either uses a crybaby wah or he uses auto wah

[Guitarvesa]

@HardcoreCinematics He actually uses Morley Wah's.

[HardcoreCinematics]

@Guitarvesa Oh.. thank you. And I'm more familiar with spring wah's because I've used them more. instead of having to click to turn on the wah, it turns on when you start pushing on it. Either way... this guy is amazing and I love how he will actually practice and make lessons.

[Guitarvesa]

@selahSCOUTairsoft Morley Mark Tremonti Signature wah, you can clearly see it in 6:23 up in the middle =)

[Jzrailen]

@selahSCOUTairsoft Wa peddle

[ParkingLot1995]

awesome sustain

[Xezium]

such a feminine dog for a guy like him lol

[tinticarello]

Thank you Dj! Great video keep rockin'

[Jzrailen]

LiL Creep is like wassup niggas! And its like "Dj you think people really wanna learn guitar their here for me man"! lol your dog is kickass nice lesson man!

[whitepaw54]

cool that you posted this video unlike some musicans who think their shit doesnt stink and would not take the time of day

[RioUchiha]

Thumbs up if you were like -_-) wf when he starts the Appegios.

[VilleDevine]

lil creep is so cute!!<3

[DannyGurlA7X]

He throws that slide like a boss lol.

[pinkyt67]

@DannyGurlA7X true Rockstar throw of the slide ;)

[x20Mike07x]

Damn that last part of the solo.Should give a lesson on how to sustain the note for that long lol. Really gotta appreciate the artist showing how to play their song though. There is no confusion on how to play it correctly now.

[CASTR01995]

@x20Mike07x Maybe just keep vibrating your finger? i dunno, I don't play guitar, that's just what it kinda looks like to me. lol

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@x20Mike07x its partly the les paul and partly whats called "musical feedback" which is when the note you're playing turns into feedback but theyre the same pitch

[guitarfreak23397]

@x20Mike07x use sustainer or feedback.(think it's feedback here)

[ronquillo2]

@x20Mike07x its pinch harmonics :)

[TheAlexBrasill]

why there's a dog walking on the video?

[MrNikodrako]

@TheAlexBrasill that dog is ashba's dog, named lil' creep, and always is around him...

:D

[waffflehead]

7:03 can you hear the slide he throw circle around?

[surgeyX]

Thank you so much for this -- sick playing and sick guitar...what les paul is that?

[brickwall595]

LES PAUL FADED?

[theamericanmetalhead]

holy shit he got a 20 second sustain WERE NOT WORTHY!!

[BurgerAndSeagull]

Eheheh, I love how his little dog creeps into the shot <3

Great stuff Dj Ashba! Fucking love you! <3

[Luxmaxnike]

Are we going to hear some of your compositions on the new GNR album?

[coolsprus101]

I want to say F# locrian on the verse... Man who ever was singing must have been quite the singer :D Dude why did you drop a mic in the first part when you were demonstrating the first verse btw? Did you want to catch the treble of the slide? I'm just curious.

[alansixx]

I got the whole song and almost the solo thank u dj fucking ashba

[cartmanrulez32]

the pickups and amp and other gear if he has any. and the fact its a less paul

[lovegungoodfun]

GUNS N ROSES!!!! ps who has that little dog?? lol



[Rizzy55]

That sustain was ep-- actually ya know epic doesnt even begin to describe it.. holy crap..

[13psilva]

FUCK THAT SUSTAINE!

[rockbandzac]

Where do I sign up???

[ireneath]

plz come with sixx am in greece!

[whitematilda]

nice man, love it

COME TO PUERTO RICO WITH SIXX A.M.!!!!!!!!!

[redawgrocks]

I really wanna learn this solo:) I think it's gonna have a powerful influence on my guitar playing. I'm inspired by this whole project. I think it's absolutely brilliant.

[madahalik]

It's nice to hear a solo that has a melody stick to the mind and not just metal guitar masturbation. good job bud. Rock the Ashba.

[thewolf619]

Is that a Chrome or bottleneck slide? Love the solo. Thx DJ!

[waterkeeper03]

looking at all that audio gear in the background and listening to the lack of fluency in the audio levels throughout this video makes me want to peel my face off...

Great shit dude, but is there an audio engineer in the house anywhere??

[ShoutAtTheDevil1313]

You're the best guitarist axl & nikki could find for their bands ;) \m/

[jerry2968]

These videos are great DJ thanks for posting them. I wish you guys would tour so we could see you play the songs live.

[naro1978]

groso !! impresionante !! me encantaría poder ver a SIXX:AM en vivo !!! amo ese tema !! awesome DJ ASHBA ... thank you man !!!!

[ramayy]

This solo REALLY stood out when I first listened to the song!

[DistedDream]

woah, that sustain... xD crazy!

[aerina747]

I like this animation which a lot of pet dogs are reflected in most　But I am wonderful, and all the animation & music of the　ASHBA older brother likes it　@-@;♪

愛犬ちゃんが多く映ってるこの動画さんが一番好きなのだけれど

アシュバおにぃちゃんの動画さん＆曲さんゎ全部素敵で好きでです­＠－＠；♪

[stonerh]

I swear you have the nicest collection of Les Pauls

[Silentshots1]

Nice dog! :D

[muteeurrahman]

Is it in Drop D? Because I can't understand how Ashba is playing the chorus riff high up in the neck and not like the opening riff (which begins with open D chord)

[stonerh]

@muteeurrahman It is in Drop D.. he plays the first chord of the chorus riff on the 12th fret, which is a D chord an octave above the open string.

[EscapeMyFatex2010]

Thanks DJ!! I am in LOVE with this song and I'd prefer no one better than you to teach me it! :)

[DjManux97]

man this is a very good song, very good lesson and great new album you are my favorite guitar player i wait to see you soon in Venezuela with GnR or with Sixx A.M

PEACE

[WildCardJordan]

That solo is a hard one to learn... The last part is anyway. I know how to play it but I can't get it fast enough

[salem1752]

thumbs up if u saw the little dog running!!!!

[losyiyosyemma]

DJ, I know you have heard this before, but having been a Slash fan since day 1, and having seen you guys in GNR last year in Madrid, Spain, I must say F&%K OFF to all those stating you are just a poser trying to be someone else. I believe you are one of the best guitarists in the current rock scene and hope to be listening to you for a very long time to come! Thanks for sharing everything with your fans, your the best! Keep rockin' GNR and SIXX AM, you have a new loyal fan!

[Ashjaah27]

heard this song the other week when i was working and thought it was good, but then heard it yesterday and was like wow this is amazing !! great tune, and as a fellow guitarist that is one amazing solo !!!

[MrK0c]

WE ALL LOVE LIL CREEP!!!! :D :D :D

[cooperkev72]

Dude thanks for this its a great help,the Sixx A.M. album is awesome cant stop playing it,you rule dude thanks again............

[serena2190]

you are amazing! Full Stop

[serena2190]

I can't figure out what you do on the Chorus riff, still practicing though

[xforbiddenone]

Hey Ashba, Was wondering what kind of slide you used to do this solo, Thanks!

[24therocker]

Very good work,Dj. Love your work,bro,I plan on learnin' this very,VERY soon. :)

[0012170]

can you make a ballad of death lesson

[LUCASMATHEUSist]

Hello Dj Ashba very good! I have been following their work and their gigs ... I'm from Brazil, and hope you keep rocking!

[TheAlexCarrington]

Dj if you could mail me one of those guitars i would be the happiest person alive in the world :) a lespaul is my dream just like a lambo :)

[samboraisgod2000]

the sustain on the last note of the solo is fucking awesome.

[derbyrodriguez]

You truly are an inspiration DJ, your playing is amazing and thanks very much for doing this video, gives me chance to learn one of my favourite songs of the year! Any chance you could do Live Forever? My favourite from the album!! Cheers DJ all the way from New Zealand!

[GunsNRosesHardRock]

Great solo, stop talking about $la$h in a DJ ASHBA video, retarded people are everywhere.

[stbreal]

are you self taught or lesson. do you know music theory?

[davemorris85]

i looked for a video like this the first moment i heard/fell in love with this track. you rock dude, and thanks for the awesome vid. couldnt have figured out the solo without this vid.now just gotta get my pinkie to catch up with the rest of my fingers! XD much love.

[rockerguy1213]

DJ, idk how many comments u actually check man, but either way I want to thank u for being another inspiration to me to play music and guitar. i'm still just a teenager playing as loud as possible out of his garage with a basic line 6 amp, but I thank u for making me aspire to one day become something bigger. best of luck, man.

o, and the new album-all I can say is it's nice to take a breath of fresh air after having so much trouble finding new material that's really worth listening to.

-Nick

[jordanwantszacefron9]

Shit, Dj. I fucking love you.

[Areelex]

btw this dude is my role model ^^

[Areelex]

:o Wah pedal in the beginning of the solo?

[JosephTheRocker]

veeeeeeerrry dynamic guitar player! very underrated.... kick sum ass on tour with the other sixx am boys!

[rdejaynes]

that sustain note..kicked ass...i had to stop the video just to say NICE!!!!!!!!!! Love the crunchy sound to the opening riff.... I have been a Motley Crue fan all my life and a GNR, but now im an ILLINOIS ASHBA FAN!

[slashjonny]

[RocknRoll7425]

This is so humble and great of you to show all the riffs and solos, kudos to you! =)

[1313isHero]

that entire solo, i was shitting myself! DJ you use the slide so beautifuly and that sustained note just topped the hole solo off with a big bang! by far one of my all time favorite guitar solos ever! DJ Ashba, my hat goes off to you.

[vans2040]

thanxxx for the lesson man! 

[DadosGNR]

Ashba you are guns in Guns N Roses !

[TheGuiSpy]

Please Ashba. What is the wah that you use in this video?

[MMFF00]

3 people need to get kicked in the nuts, this song is awesome!

[whatsupbato]

DJ is an amazing guitarist and seems like an amazing person also. Thanks for the entertainment and the amazing guitar solos.

[vini808]

porra o dj ashba é MUITO FODA

[mylespaul777]

I want his hat :D

[blackiel89]

Hi DJ! Any idea when is the album going to be released in Germany? I like buying CDs \m/

[TheArmageddons]

lol 0:35 - 0:45 dog :D

[duaneace1]

Great lesson awesome band from a really down to earth guy thanks alot DJ



[CrissMasta]

i listened to it on the Maximum Metal CD from Metal Hammer and was like WTF I GOTTA LEARN THIS SHIT! o.O

[buttsniffjackwagon1]

serieously how did he get such a huge sustane?

[thekidJess]

@buttsniffjackwagon1 i think that wah pedal has some to do with it

[buttsniffjackwagon1]

@thekidJess probably

[EMEX6]

@buttsniffjackwagon1

Im no expert but im sure he had some kind of compression/sustain pedal and the constant tremolo of the note is constantly triggering the signal so he can ring the note out for a long time.

[DelPellezin]

@buttsniffjackwagon1 it's called a Gibson Les Paul ... and a fair amount of knowing how to use it

[buttsniffjackwagon1]

@DelPellezin

pretty sure it had something to do with the waw like somebody else said but the les paul deffinently was there but i think it was the waw and the way he exicuted the vibrato that made it last so long

[EMEX6]

@buttsniffjackwagon1

Theres other pedals on his board too, i have a waw pedal and in no way does it create sustain. All it does is alter the signal going in but it will not hold a note for that length of time, its gotta be a compression pedal and tremolo and prob some other effect.

[LarryTube93]

@buttsniffjackwagon1 He's using the FEEDBACK to get like endless sustane, you can do that with every electric guitar just with the right amount of VOLUME, TREBLE and GAIN and by also holding the other freds down, just like he did. (-sorry for bad english^^) - Cheers.

[surgeyX]

@LarryTube93

Need a decent ammount of compression too since it doesn't sound like it was at very high gain during the recording

[vidmachine07]

@buttsniffjackwagon1 A) It is a LES PAUL  B) Serious Vibrato keeps the strings moving C) Distortion Pedal

[Horhayj]

@buttsniffjackwagon1

By having his volume way up and using the sound waves of his cab to vibrate the string. Notice how he keeps the rest of the strings muted with is right hand, otherwise they would ring too. You can also see him shaking the guitar and using a quick vibrato to keep it moving. Sometimes I'll even knee the back of my guitar to keep the string vibrating.
