Hive Open Mic 124! Here we are! MOONSHINE!
What a great theme! Moonshine! I loved the artwork too! This gives me old school rock vibes! So, for that reason I have chosen to play 'Slither' by Velvet Revolver!
Some of you might know, but Velvet Revolver were a super group formed of members from Guns N Roses and Stone Temple Pilots. Firstly, RIP to the vocalist Scott Weiland how passed away several years ago now. Duff Mckagan is on Bass and the legend Slash on lead guitar!
I loved this self titled album from Velvet Revolver. It gave me a feel of what a follow up Guns N Roses album could have sounded like after use your illusion 2. However, VR formed about 10+ years after GNR disbanded. Slash was doing other projects such as Slashs SnakePit and Duff was also doing other projects such as loaded.
This week - I deceided to go all in! I played through the whole song! Usually I am just playing the guitar solo... and don't worry, there is a HUGE solo in this song!!!
Forward to about 2:50 if you cant wait! I use wah just like Slash does.
I'm stretching my arms out before the solo as I do have an injury that is really effecting my guitar playing/practice... I'm not going to lie, I was in a lot of pain here! Have to stop playing for the rest of the day now...
I sure hope you enjoy this!
Maybe next time I will stand up and give a proper performance ;)
Peace and love!
