Slash's Guitar Clinic

Fan Question: Nicky Wire (Manic Street Preachers)
You're James (Dean Bradfield)'s favourite guitarist ever. How did you get the sound on the track solo for Estranged, it's amazing!

"It's really not that hard. It's a typical Marshall and I was using a gold top for that particular song if I remember correctly, with the rhythm pickup with the tone turned all the way down and obviously a lot of gain coming out of the amp. I also used my volume knob to make the swells come in and out. For the actual tone, having a lot of saturation is where you get the sound."
