"So Disraeli Gears, aside from being one of the great rock and roll blues records of the era, if not of all time, it also was what made me pick up the guitar in the first place." Slash met with a guitar teacher and during their first session he started playing "Sunshine of Your Love," to which Slash replied, "That's what I want to do." "That was the guitar, right, electric guitar, and that's where I picked up guitar," says Slash. "When I first went in to learn an instrument, I intended to play bass because Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns N' Roses, when he and I first met, he already played guitar, and so we were going to start a band so I was going to start to play bass, but I didn't know really technically the difference at that time between bass and guitar." "Right off the bat, Disraeli Gears was the record that switched me from playing bass to guitar," recalled Slash.
