Slash

It's been a while since i am here, no?
Let's get back to blogging because i feel like my English is soon fade off.
And before i start speaking like a retard.
Mmm. What to blog about?

Oooh.

Got Slash's debut solo album.



For a person who's been following Slash's works, the songs in this album are....fresh.

All of the songs in here are collaborations with other artists like Lemmy Kilmeister of Motorhead and Fergie (Black Eyed Peas, not Manchester United).

One would expect this ex-Guns N' Roses lead guitarist to feature crazy rock&roll riffs or blistering blues solo.
But instead, its slow. The good slow.
There's a rock ballad titled "Gotten" which was sang by Adam Levine of Maroon 5 or Rocco De Luca's "Saint Is A Sinner Too".
Slash plays metal too! A collab with M.Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold had them write "Nothing To Say" which featured heavy sounds and fast picking which is VERY different than the typical Slash we all know.

Mmm. Metal. Mmm.

Anyways, this is a very very cool album.

9/10.

Mmm~

Legends Of Rock 2

In Legends Of Rock, i paid tribute to the guitar heroes that made me start playing guitar seriously.
Long months, even years, has passed on and i constantly find and listen to new guitarists doing their thing.

Here are some of the ones that i find really awesome in guitar skills and ultimately, made me learn their techniques. Mmm~


1) Mick Thomson



Fast alternate pickings. Pinch harmonics.
Detuned guitars. Aggresive. I like.

2) Jim Root



Fast alternate pickings as well. Lots of legato in his playings.
Smooth, flowing sound all around. Also, he looks wicked cool. Haha.

3) Skwisgaar Skwigelf



This guy ain't no ordinary cartoon character. Read here.
Thought me on the basics of sweep-picking and modal scales.

And that's all, folks!
:D


p/s.
someone get me Jim Root's guitar please.
I'll be your humble servant if you do.
HAHA.
