SCOM video

[Genesis]

Hi,

Does anyone have a live video which shows Slash playing the SCOM solo CLEARLY? The Tokyo tour videos suck and when the important part comes, the cam switches to axl running all over the stage ( which i'm dyin' to see )

Get hold of Pars 92.  During the song he jumps around seriously cool and plays wikid!

Since it was done in 92 it was too long ago but it would have been cool as fuck if they coulda done the same thing as metallica did with cunning stunts where you can choose who to watch

[darkmonth]

Well, not really, because the footage will still be archived and useable.  Think about it. The cameras all captured continuously.   So you could take all that and make a multi camera DVD.

good point...geffen should get on that. I would rather have them do it with a differen't concert than tokyo tho.

Anywhere on the net where i can download a clip? I don't think i can get the Paris ' 92 dvd...

[gypsy eyes]

im willing to send it... if anyone can explain to me how to do that...
i warn you: I'm a girl (girls and computers?? ) and a natural blonde!!

but i don't think it's so great to learn the song that way... you can't see it that well and it's not like the cam is all over Slash the whole song!    don't you have tabs or anything? that's easy to find! Total Guitar once gave the tabs and notes to SCOM... try to get a hold of that edition and you got everything you need, amp settings and everything included, I have it and I'm sure lots of other guitarists here do too, maybe someone who lives close to you...?

It's very difficult that solo... well actually it's ok apart from the fill between the slow lead in and the killer wah wah-ing.

It's one of those lead runs that, no matter how long or hard you stare at the tabs for, you just always think you're missing something cos it never sounds right when you play it, hence wanting to see a zoomed in vid of Slash playing it properly. As far as I'm aware, the official SCOM video is the best place to see Slash playin the solo, because the camera is virtually never off him the whole time, you just have to try and watch his hands, and the way he shapes them on the guitar to get some kind of clue as to what to do.

Just practice, practice and more practice... the speed is the main challenge in that solo; it's essentially just a handful of tried and tested blues licks from the Jimmy Page school of guitar-playing, played damn fast.

Dunno if any of this helps, I just felt like typing something.

Good luck

Exactly!
I can play the solo, but it sounds nothing like the original... I wanted to see how he bends certain notes... Come to think of it, he bends most of his notes!

I never really got the idea of trying to emulate a live solo note to note. A solo that was propably not mainly but for a lot of parts, improvised. Just go with something of your own. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It does require a shitload of skill.

No No...
Not the live solo... But the original SCOM solo... There are parts in the live solo that are the same as the original
