Learn To Play SLASH's 'By The Sword' - Apr. 7, 2011

Slash's first solo album was a huge chart-topping success in the U.K. and across the globe. Lick Library with Danny Gill have worked day and night to bring you "Learn to Play Slash", a guitar-tuition DVD that shows you how to master five of the most phenomenal tracks from this album.

Slash, former lead guitarist with GUNS N' ROSES and co-founder of VELVET REVOLVER released his first solo album in April 2010. He is a critically acclaimed guitarist; in 2009 he was voted in Time magazine second on its list of the "10 Best Electric Guitar Players of All-Time." As one of the most distinctive and in demand guitarists in the last thirty years, Slash is equally confident working in hard rock or pop. He is a fluid, articulate guitar player renowned for his ferocious licks and searing solos.

Helping you nail these five superb tracks, teaching you every riff and solo note for note, is guitar teacher supreme Danny Gill. Former pupil of Joe Satriani, prolific TV and film music writer, Danny has played in a number of rock bands and has the skills, techniques and credibility to help you capture a true sense of how Slash plays his guitar.

"Learn to Play Slash" (RRP 24.99) is a guitar-tuition double DVD with over three hours of guitar lessons. All the tracks included in the guitar lessons are taken from Slash's eponymous new album, "Slash". The single "By The Sword" was released in March 2010 and featured Andrew Stockdale from WOLFMOTHER; "Ghost" was the only single on the album where anyone one else, namely Izzy Stradlin, played guitar; the instrumental "Watch This" famously featured Dave Grohl on drums; Slash premiered "Nothing to Say" on his MySpace page; and "Beautiful Dangerous" on Amazon. Danny takes you through these amazing tracks using the recognizable Lick Library split screen to ensure you can clearly see what he is doing with both of his hands. With a calm approach and easy to understand simple instructions, Danny shows you how to break the tracks down into small playable pieces then rebuild them into the whole song again.
