    Today we hone on another song by Guns N' Roses from Use Your Illusion II: Estranged.
    You lot seemed to enjoy the deep dive into Knockin' on Heaven's Door in the previous video; whilst perusing through the comments I noticed that Estranged was mentioned more often than not. It's clearly a fan favourite so I thought I'd shine some light on it.
    Estranged is a musical masterpiece and in my opinion features some of Slash's best ever licks and melodies. It's a shame it's only 9:23 long, tight sods they could have at least given us 11 minutes.
    Enjoy the video!

    I was in high school when this song and the two albums were released. Can’t recall there ever being more excitement for the release of these albums .
    His solos on estranged and don’t damn me are two of my favorites. For a guy who admittedly can’t sing (he can’t- I’ve heard him try), he has the perfect ear for solos. It’s really remarkable.

      I don’t think many people know it was based off the book by “Without You” by Del James (The November Rain video mostly). But there’s actually 3 (4 if you count the Don’t Cry alternate). So it’s actually a series, Don’t Cry, November Rain, Estranged, so I think it was so different (and long!) people just didn’t get it. Plus it’s a song that you really have to appreciate music for. Like in this video, there’s really no chorus, it’s all over the place. In an interview with Slash (or Izzy I can’t recall), they said Coma was so hard to play because it’s all over the place that sometimes they’d have to have the sheet music with them lol!

  • @brentbryson215
    @brentbryson215 Před rokem +1

    Wow, Sped. Just caught something I haven’t seen before. But it sounds right to my ears. After some bends, you are bringing back to the whole note, and pausing for a satisfying length of time before adding the vibrato. I don’t recall seeing this exactly the same way before with a Slash solo. Maybe it’s always been everywhere and I’m just noticing it now. But it sounds just right.

    • @SpedSpedding
      @SpedSpedding  Před rokem +1

      When it comes to vibrato and these lessons, I have a few listens and do my thing. I try to remember exactly where it is but I don’t want things to end up overly mechanical. As a player I always like to resolve a note for the ear before exponentially bringing vibrato in. That way you get to hear the note undisturbed before sweetening it. We’re only ever going sharp after all so I think it’s a nice way to accentuate.

  • @mikeburtonphillipson5900

    Best way to end the week with a bit of Slash.. saw them live at Milton Keynes Bowl back in the early 90’s.. amazing.. and ooooo I did like the little A/G/F run and fills in the second part, made me pull my soloing/rock face and I wasn’t even playing it!! 😂 … top work as ALWAYS!.. 🤘🤘

      What a lie! Everyone knows they never used to show up to their concerts 😂 unless I was just lucky and they always left early. But I still go see them now they play almost too long! My old legs can’t stand for that long lol! I saw them on NYE in Vegas. My friend is Axls realtor there. He was showing him a penthouse next to the venue. I was in the lobby and he walked right by me. I thought to myself “well he won’t be on time”. So I made my way to the venue and he was already playing!!! He seems so much happier these days as well!

  • @Station2Station-du2gh
    @Station2Station-du2gh Před 10 měsíci +2

    Wasn't a GnR fan, but I was in my early twenties when this song broke and I instantly bought the album because of the angular nature of Slash's playing on this track.... and this is coming from a Bowie, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Roxie, Marr guy! Who writes in this melodic way and chooses these notes? Still incredible to this day. Love to know your signal chain in this video.

  • @Noctiferio
    @Noctiferio Před rokem +1

    Really cool and helpful video dude!! Can you give some hint about how to get the tone? Thanks

  • @guitarlair
    @guitarlair Před rokem +2

    Tone's great, I'd add a little bit more gain for more sustain tho...Playing is great too but there's a lot of parts that sound different from the original (for example that section that starts at 8:30) mainly because you're picking a note and sliding it to the next note and then picking the other note again while Slash picks just the first note and bends it up to the next note. He actually does that A LOT, he does a lot of 1T bends, 1/5T bends and even 2T bends sometimes... if you watch the Live in Tokyo DVD you can clearly see how he bends almost every note in his more melodic solos like in November Rain, Estranged and Knocking on Heavens door.

    • @donniejean
      @donniejean Před 5 měsíci

      He always bends. It’s almost his signature. He’ll bend a high E to a low E 😂 but yeah most of his solos are around the 12-17 frets with many bends. I also read he doesn’t like to use his pinky if possible. But with those bends, some girl is lucky! lol! Also what’s a DVD? Laser Disc or Betamax baby!

    Guns and Roses and Metallica were the reasons I picked up the guitar at the age 13, especially when the two albums and the black album popped up. However I always gravitated more towards the Guns side of things and it has stayed this till today. Especially Slash is a constant in my life as i to this day follow all his ventures. He now has the imho best rock singer in history of rock with Mr. Miles Kennedy, who is imo at least on par with Robert Plant and David Coverdale! Thanks for the lesson, that was indeed cool!

      Myles is incredible. Never seen Slash and Myles live which is a shame. Caught the Guns reunion first time round though and they were killer.
      A personal favourite is Not For Me, both Slash and Myles are outrageous on that track.

    It might be a reference to led zeppelin. I believe slash mentioned he got a black double neck guitar because someone was already using a red one.
    I do wonder, would it be possible for you to experiment giving out lessons in which you describe the timings. Of the notes (if you haven't done a note already). I think that would help a lot of beginners like myself. Just name some notes like this is at 1, this is at & etc. What are your thoughts?

      Yes, just confirmed that I wasn't hallucinating. Slash did say he liked using a black double neck guitar because Jimmy page was famous for using a cherry one. And the music video for this does feature it. The conspiracy deepens. It's very possible slash knew of Jimmy's existence.

    Use you illusion is when we learned that rocks stars are not gods, and all the hype was "money for nothing". I just think GnR didn't have much to say musically, and guys with much less skills, like Kurt Cobain were more musically literate and true artists.
    At least we had Bowie for awhile. That sorta helped the 90s

    • @SpedSpedding
      @SpedSpedding  Před rokem

      I'm a huge Bowie fan as people know, you may not, continually evolving and original and innovative until the end. I do think there's a lot of special moments across these two albums. They're probably just not for you (as Myles sings) and that's cool. Thanks for commenting!

    • @brockpinson949

      Bahahaha you were so into Bowie that you couldn't appreciate the illusion albums?Damm bro they we large complete works of art so much music going on. That's OK if it wasn't for you but seriously those albums were intricate and amazing. So many great songs in one giant opera.

    • @slashtrio
      @slashtrio Před rokem

      The “true artist” thing is subject at best and pretentious at worst. I agree the the UYI albums pale in comparison to appetite. I didn’t care from them when they came out and largely ignored them until the last year or two as I got back into playing guitar. I think there are some great songs across both albums but several mediocre ones as well. I think axl pushed them in a different direction musically and got away from the bare bones dirty club rock that many of us preferred. Nirvana was very cool but it’s a different type of music. It’s like comparing the velvet underground to the New York dolls. Indie rock tends to be more cerebral and arty which is cool, but The Rolling Stones are really none of these things and they are cool as well.
