Ernie Ball's online series, Real to Reel with Slash, debuted in February on Slash's official YouTube channel.
The latest (and final) installment — Episode 8, which you can watch below — shows Slash & Co. — better known as "Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators" — at a studio in Los Angeles, hard at work on their next album, which will be released later this year.
