what guitar+pickups is slash using here?

[Hawkeye62158]

@000Z9A It's one of his signature guitars - the (Gibson USA) "Appetite 4 Destruction" model.

I know it's slash, but I'm not hearing or seeing the feeling... It's a bit bland. Sounds good, don't get me wrong, but... Guess I can't describe it that well...

B.B King's got it though.

[Hawkeye62158]

@youtubian2500 Well, Slash is a blues-influenced rock guitarist, not a blues player. Here he plays a bit blues in the style of B. B. and that's it, no more, no less, no big deal. But it's interesting to see him do this - with a clean guitar tone! I think I saw him play this kind of traditional blues never before.

what he fuck is the guy on the left of Slash doing there on stage= -.-

[Hawkeye62158]

@DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND It's Mick Hucknall (Simply Red). Also on stage: Ronnie Wood, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi (on the right side next to B. B.).

@wyssmaster Slash is sitting there thinking, "OK now I can't play too much or too fast because B.B. only knows 4 notes and a bend ....mustn't upstage the teacher, mustn't upstage the teacher......"

@youtubian2500 cut this crap of " not hearing or seeing the feeling"

[13FooFighter]

Slash can´t play the blues.

[elnatchio]

Makes you realize where Slash gets his guitar style

@youtubian2500

B.B. IS it!!!

[wyssmaster]

He looked like he was bored out of his skull, and he played like shit. It wasn't "bad" insofar as it didn't sound like two cats raping a whale, but he had absolutely no feel or phrasing. Pretty boring overall.

Slash can play anything. Face it!
