Why This Pick?

Slash favors the 1.14mm Tortex for its perfect balance between stiffness and control. The heavy gauge gives him the articulation needed for intricate blues-influenced leads while providing enough body for heavy rhythm work. The matte Tortex texture offers excellent grip, even during sweaty stage performances.

About Slash

His playing style blends blues, rock, and punk influences into a unique sound characterized by soulful bends, melodic phrasing, and raw power. The combination of Les Paul guitars, Marshall amps, and Tortex picks has become his signature tone.

Slash opts for a heavy gauge pick that provides a solid attack for both his biting leads and chunky rhythm work.
