Slash w/ Myles Kennedy

Slash, born Saul Hudson in London in 1965, became one of rock's defining guitar voices as the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses. Appetite for Destruction (1987) turned him into a household name with savage riffs, soaring fills, and one of the era's most recognizable guitar tones. After years with GN'R and a successful solo project, Slash partnered with singer Myles Kennedy in what would become Slash w/ Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, a collaboration that blends his blues-soaked solos with Kennedy's powerhouse vocals. Since forming the group around 2010, they have released a string of acclaimed albums, including Apocalyptic Love (2012), World on Fire (2014), Living the Dream (2018), and 4 (2022), while touring the world and expanding the reach of classic hard rock.

Slash's influence goes beyond a single band. His tone—rich, sustain-laden, and instantly identifiable—owes much to his preferred Gibson Les Paul through classic Marshall amplification, which he has used to shape some of rock's most enduring riffs and solos. In Slash w/ Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, he combines earth-shaking grooves with melodic, vocally responsive lead lines, proving that big rock guitar can be both ferocious and deeply musical. The collaboration also spotlighted Kennedy's vocal range and phrasing, creating a modern platform for players who love blues-based hard rock.

With a career spanning more than three decades, Slash has helped define the sound of modern arena rock, influenced countless players, and earned a place among the game's greats. His contributions to Guns N' Roses and The Conspirators—along with signature gear and a timeless tone—continue to inspire aspiring guitarists to chase big, expressive solos while grounding their playing in solid rhythm and blues-scale ideas.
