Notes

Studio recording, 2011-2012 (Apocalyptic Love album sessions). Slash used his Kris Derrig Les Paul replica for most solos. The amp was a brand-new Marshall Silver Jubilee 100-watt head, not his touring rig. No evidence of pedal-based distortion; amp provided main gain. Effects inferred from audio and Slash's typical studio setup for this era.

Difficulty

The solo features rapid-fire alternate picking, advanced legato, expressive wah pedal use, and requires precise control of bends and vibrato, making it challenging even for advanced players.
