A practitioner well-versed in Slash's distinctive playing style.
Nicolas Riera, widely known as Niko Slash, embarked on his musical journey with classical guitar at the tender age of 8. However, the overwhelming emphasis on music theory prompted him to put it aside after three years. At the age of 14, driven by his love for rock music, he reignited his passion by picking up the electric guitar. It was during this time that he stumbled upon the renowned band Guns N’ Roses and, in particular, Slash, whom he developed an authentic admiration for.
Despite encountering several setbacks in his attempts to form bands, Niko found a platform for his talent on YouTube. In 2011, he established his YouTube channel, where he passionately covered songs by his idol. The exceptional quality of his numerous covers caught the attention of none other than Slash himself, leading to a regular exchange between the two. The community that Niko has fostered around his shared passion did not escape Slash’s notice; he became an ardent supporter of the channel and even provided legal assistance to Nicolas when the channel faced temporary closure by YouTube.
