He vividly recalls the feeling after learning "Come Dancing" from Wired by Jeff Beck, his greatest influence, which he described as "fucking awesome". As a result, Slash stated, "When I heard him do that, I said, 'That's what I want to do.'" Equipped with a one-string flamenco guitar given to him by his grandmother, he began taking classes with Wolin. His decision to play guitar was further influenced by one of his school teachers, who would play songs by Cream and Led Zeppelin for his students. During his first lesson, Slash decided to switch from bass to guitar after hearing Robert Wolin, a teacher at Fairfax Music School, play " Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones.

In 1979, Slash decided to form a band with his friend Steven Adler. I remember riding my bike back to my grandma's house knowing that my life had changed.

His father, Anthony Hudson, is an English artist who created album covers for musicians such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Hudson (née Oliver 1946–2009), was an African-American fashion designer and costumier from the United States, whose clients included David Bowie (whom she also dated), Ringo Starr, and Janis Joplin.
