So I try to make the Les Paul have that same kind of big, solid feel. What kind of strings do you use on acoustics? I use Ernie Ball acoustic strings, medium-to-heavy gauge. Do you have a favorite guitar for writing music?
I carry it around with me most of the time. Do you do more writing on acoustic than electric? When it comes down to it, yes. What kinds of things inspire you to write?
Do you find there are certain places or times of the day where you are more creative? Do you typically document your ideas on tape before going into the studio?
It was in a nifty roadcase and well, we spilled a lot of beers in it and it just never worked out. The first Snakepit record was a product of me trying to get an actual home studio together. Then we had an earthquake and it was trashed.
Once we get that together, we just go for it and make the record. We do everything as if it were a live gig. Then if there are any guitar parts I want to go over, I record in the control room. Do you record the solos live, or go back and track them later? We just do whatever works best for each song and keep things simple. What were the main guitars on the record? Rich Mockingbird. What was your amp setup for the studio?
Do you record with effects, or add them in the mixing stage? I really wanted the record to have a live ambience and producer Jack Douglas captured the band in its purest form. I kept things pretty raw, and Jack helped shape my guitar sound in the mix.
Jack has his own style. What do you like and dislike most about working in the studio, and playing onstage? But the only way to get that live vibe in the studio is for the whole band to play live together, and no matter what, you have to use headphones to hear each other. After years of frustration, when we built the Snakepit Studios at my house, we worked out a way that we could play live together, and record it without any bleed.
But not all of the finished tracks on the record were done that way because in order to get feedback and certain tones at the right volume, I would go into the control room.
Also, if I wanted to do any overdubs or fixing, it would be in the control room. So I was raised on recording the guitars in the control room, and always did the basic tracks with headphones on, which is really irritating! Otherwise, my approach to playing is pretty much the same in both situations. Do you use ear plugs when you play live?
I tried it, and it just mutes everything. On the road, in the bus or dressing room, I usually turn on the local rock radio station and play along. Outside of the Gibson world, the B.
Initially, it was a Guild JF dreadnought in his hands, though Slash has been spotted playing Gibsons, Martins, Matons and even Taylors at certain points. With a Solid Sitka Spruce top and active preamp system, you can bank on it sounding pretty close too. He formed his first band in with his friend Steven Adler, but they never really got to a point where they could perform live. Nevertheless, this got Slash deeper into music, and he soon started taking bass guitar lessons from Robert Wolin.
He then co-founded the super-group Velvet Revolver, which re-established him as a mainstream performer in the mid to late s.
He was placed as No. The next thing that I got after his first acoustic guitar was a Memphis Les Paul copy, and that was my first electric guitar. But innocently enough, initially that guitar was great. It featured koa wood body with natural brown finish, full two octave scale neck with diamond inlays and a pair of DiMarzio humbuckers. This might mean that some of the recording was done on the Warlock, but without a direct confirmation from Slash himself it is impossible to know for sure.
Slash owned this guitar just for a brief period of time in , before selling it in order to pay out his drug problem. He then took it to the studio where Slash was making final overdubs and recording solo sections on the album. He immediately fell in love with the sound of Derrig Les Paul, and it ended up being his main guitar, and one which he would use on every single album that followed — including his solo work.
Since than, Slash had a few unpleasant experiences with this guitar. At one point it was stolen from him by a fan in the crowd, but luckily the security guys took it back — and at another occasion he broke the neck on it. Since then, he mostly keeps the guitar safe at his house, and uses various replicas and signature models.
He used them as his main stage guitars for the latter part of the 2 year long tour, and after he decided it is smarter to keep the the replicas safe at his house, since they were precious to him.
Slash seemed to really liked it, since he published an ad searching for the guitar. Loosigian reported that the guitar had pits all over the fingerboard when he first bought it. It also had Japanese style plastic tuners and the covers were removed from the pickups. He replaced the tuners with Klusons, installed Gibson pickup covers and re-fretted the neck.
The guitar remains in this state to this day. So I gave it to him for his birthday. He kept the B. Based on some early photos of Slash, he also has two more TBs — one in natural finish, and other in white. In the most recent days Slash usually plays new guitars from his own Signature line, and keeps his vintage ones safe at home. One of the first guitars Slash ever owned was a B. Rich Mockingbird. Rich Mockingbird which was a really cool on I had for quite a few years," he says at in this interview.
Distortion Effects Pedals. Equalizer Effects Pedals. Acoustic-Electric Guitars. A transparent green version of this guitar is used by Slash for Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, Slash also has these in red, blue and black.
The Jubilee head was released in to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Marshall. It is heavily based on the JCM of the time, featuring a very similar output section along with a new preamp.
