Slash is one of rock’s top-rated guitarists and for many years as part of Guns & Roses, where he was an essential part of their sound. He is also one of the most sought-after session players in the industry and added great lead guitar parts to hits for Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Alice Cooper, and dozens of other successful rockers. He was inducted into the Rock Hall of fame as a member of G & R’s classic line-up. In 2005, Esquire magazine named him “Best Guitarist.”
