THE GUITAR INTERVIEW
Saul Hudson is the most iconic Les Paul
player of the last 30 years, maybe ever. The
last few years have been some of the most
eventful in Slash’s remarkable career. After
decades of acrimony he took to the stage
with Guns N’ Roses again, the brand with
which he’s become synonymous went to the
brink of oblivion and back – and inally, he
closed in on the 10 years of his solo project.
With so much to talk about, we caught
up with the guitarist to ind out how it
felt to step back onstage with GN’R, what
went wrong at Gibson, his newfound love of
P-90 pickups and how somehow, he’s still a
self-conscious guitar player…
