Slash
Electric Guitar Solo on
Locomotive (Complicity)

About

This is the third of four electric guitar solos by Slash on "Locomotive (Complicity)," lasting eleven seconds at 118 BPM in A-flat. Positioned in the later portion of the eight-and-a-half-minute track, this solo builds on the energy established by the two preceding guitar statements. As the song progresses through its complex structure of shifting tempos and dynamics, this third solo marks a point of increasing intensity, setting up the extended final solo that brings the composition to its climax. The gradual expansion of the guitar's role across the four solos reflects the track's architectural ambition.

Slash was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
