Slash's Rig And Effects From His Guitar Tech Ace Bergman, How He Puts It All Together And How It Can Educate You

Hey everyone, hope ya liked my last post. Yes, i did swear my ass off in it. But I feel strongly aboutr what I said in it that most musicians don't have the guts to be the band or artist that succeeds. There's no secret to  it. If there was, only the Jimi Page's and Hendrix's of the world would be highly paid touring artists.

Now, back to this post. Ace Bergman goes through Slash's rig, effects and what he does in order to keep his music ship in working order. Slash believe it or not is not a huge collector of guitars, and nor does he use a lot of effects. Ace also tells you how each effect sounds in Slash's rig, and how his guitar and effects work together for the sound he's looking for.

I think this video from Slash's Tech shows you what you need, or don't need in order to get the sound you want. And being a minimalist in sound creation, can actually help your tone for you, and your band.

Thanks to Ace Bergman, Slash's Guitar Tech who showed us what he does to get the right sound, and the equipment he uses. This doesn't mean you'll get the sound you want using what Slash uses. I think interviewing a good Guitar Tech like Ace can help a musician in determining what you really need to get the sound you want, and whether the rig you use is even right for you.

Much success to all musicians.
