Slash
Electric Guitar Solo on
Bad Obsession

About

Opening the solo section, this electric guitar improvisation runs approximately 34 seconds at a mid-tempo 125 BPM. Slash delivers an extended electric guitar solo beginning around the 3:23 mark, stretching over thirty seconds with greasy, blues-inflected bends and a loose, improvisational feel that suits the song's barroom atmosphere. The solo showcases a characteristic blend of blues-based phrasing and rock intensity, with expressive string bends, vibrato, and dynamic shifts that build toward a climactic peak. Following this solo, Michael Monroe takes over on harmonica.

Slash was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
