Slowly im getting it, thank for the help :)

[TravellerFellow]

shit ! damn good, thanks for these tips! to those who don't like this, fuck-em in their lungs where they breath. ha ha ha

[HarryAndAGuitar]

Who cares if someone uses the pinky or not, as long as you can play it and it sounds good, who gives a flying fuck if you use your pinky or not.

[AntiReal2010]

your one of the few people I've seen who use their pinky on this riff...I use it as well

[sumrandomazzdude]

nice was that

[SAfreak1000]

@classicrockriffs which string do i strum and which fret? sorry i'am new on it

[ronaldo8533]

Guy, is it with full distortion?

[HurricaneTBag]

Are you using your pinkie to pinch the 14th fret of the 1st string?

[MrACDC1997]

auch 0:17

[rrrtbds12223]

thats not how the song was writen.

[Ilikejohnosbourne]

@rrrtbds12223 no, thats how this guy plays it...i dont believe i see him smoking a cigarette, with long hair, and a top hat, so im sure hes not gonna play it exactly the way slash does

[rrrtbds12223]

@Ilikejohnosbourne you dont need to be slash to play this song. im just saying if hes gonna teach it atleast use the right tabs

[montoya9421]

thnx but can u do a vid on the iron man solo

[LiefWolfsbane]

@montoya9421 check out threefingerstony.



[LiefWolfsbane]

@montoya9421 excuse me, three takes tony.



[souljaboy12912]

[rrrtbds12223]

@souljaboy12912 turn on you metal effx on your amp if you have on.

[vsl1n]

thnx man, love your vids.

they are great for beginners like me.

[buyselltrade9]

[SomeKindOfNiall]

[cambaorientista77]

[VXDevistatorXV]

[classicrockriffs]

Great - glad it helped.

[JMort95]

@classicrockriffs are you using a wah?

[classicrockriffs]

Great to hear.

[GitarreHemi]

@jamesdk09 me too but i learnd it by ear and play guitar for half a year

[iLengzai]

@jamesdk09 1 hour? LOL.

[sjdss]

good

[frankjwz13]

thnx 4 everything

[classicrockriffs]

You're welcome...

[happenstance314]

I think it is also good to note that it is in -1/2step tuning.

[happenstance314]

@happenstance314 Ah sorry missed that in the heading.

[AlexKeith7]

Very nice sound. I watched your videos, excellent job :)

[KillerKlous]

i cba with tunin down so i just play the whole thing one note lower, trust its qicker

[alpilon23]

which amp you use?

[PhillipMorris35]

good video ;) this worked for me i dont know why your getting negative comments keep it up

[martincuz]

niice broo

[pivotoftheyear]

Wow. Why are people so negative to you. I think your lessons/riffs are awesome.

[becoolfool]

@pivotoftheyear Great observation man; I really wish there were more folks out there like you; people need to focus on another's positive strengths rather than think their better and come with the negatives. This is one of the first pieces of music I've tried to learn here a YouTube and the maestro plays with "classical" style. One finger per fret...gets it all done using three fingers. cheers!

[iljaSchneider]

tuning is not the problem. you better try is with the rhythm pick up

[hiladelphia]

wrong tuning man, its half step down and shit tone, learn to tune ur guitar 1/5

[classicrockriffs]

@hiladelphia I see from the many comments by others on your channel that you're just another sad jealous negative troll. Try reading the info on a video before commenting, and tone is a subjective thing - just maybe it's your speakers that are shit.

[hiladelphia]

well your classicrockriffs lesson suck u only "teach" the beginning, really thois videos are for n00b guitar players, so well im not watching your video bye

[classicrockriffs]

Err that's the point - I show short intros/riffs/solos primarily aimed at beginner guitarists.

Bye - sorry I can't help you, but you won't be missed.

[nwilson59]

@classicrockriffs nice attitiude dude!! keep stickin with wat ur doin it works good!!! ;)

[Guitarman777]

I think your lessons are great, note for note, and on top of that there free

so stop the whinning

[aaws95]

geez don't talk in a lesson that u don't even have to talk alot in?

that's stupid

[classicrockriffs]

@aaws95 There's nothing that needs to be said, you can see and hear everything you need to know. Put some effort in.

[sebastal]

those are some THIIIIN strings

[classicrockriffs]

@sebastal Standard 10-46

[bobthecat9754]

i always had the right cords but never the right fret

[HeartBrakeKid0809]

1/2 way down tone bro !!!

[d34thtw1nz22]

standard tuning right?

[MichaelD8393]

@d34thtw1nz22 e flat actually.

[classicrockriffs]

@d34thtw1nz22 I'm playing in standard tuning - if you want to match the record then tune down half step to Eb.

[cingle2004jp]

Plus leger que l'original, n'est ce pas??

[vainparasite]

I dont use my little finger and i get by, I used to but i lost it in an accident i suppose its something that you adapt to in time. I believe clapton dosen't use his either.

[lllTurralll]

useing the little finger is good coz you learn how to play better whit it and when u whats to learn a song that have mutch little finger in it you have the higer ground that u have been training your little finger. The other three fingers are stronger and are better to play whit if you just started to play guitar so learn to play whit the other fingers then learn how to use the little finger a good tip :)

[hollywoodundeadful]

@lllTurralll thanks man great advice ill keep that in mind cheers dude great tip for begginers like me thumbs up and a cookeh for you kind sir

[jimbohunter21]

a classic

[maarcel12]

Nice... don´t use your little finger.. you can better play it with out.. take the ring finger (:

[Chefen92]

You sir, are an ignorant idiot. Learn just about ANYTHING about guitar playing then come back and look over that comment. Don't use your pinky, what the hell...

[maarcel12]

Chefen92

wow.. you are a big noob :D

i give a tip .. "you can it better play without the little finger" and you say to me, i'm a ignorant idiot.. haha ! Wannabe!!!

get a life man

[Chefen92]

I'm speechless over maarcel12's stupidity... Someone, help me!

[Asasello333]

it wasn't good advice you were giving. "Ignorant idiot" is not something I'd say to you, though.

[extreme5050]

dude tune your guitar 1/2 tone down

[MsMalaka123]

retardet

Trojans are virus

[staimamane]

no they are not

[edgarrg94]

The trojans arent a virus idiot

[cmh96]

awsome thanks dude

[DarkieBC]

Thanks a lot :D

[GuitarzRockz]

thx! ;)

[joelg6]

its easier using your index on the 15th fret on your G string rolling ur middle finger back from the 14 on the B string to the 14th fret on the D string and back again.Slash uses this 3 fingering style,instead of using your pinky,but whatever works for you guys.

[yudo789]

0:15 xDDDDDDD

[magicdude17]

add more gain and a little more distortion on this to make the tone sound more like slashes when he plays it. Just a tip

[doggymilo]

Your website has a VIRUS! No!

[chrisdude223]

4 real!?!?!!?!!?!!?!?!!!?

[doggymilo]

yeah, i just entered and my anti-virus is giving me a warning, TROJAN VIRUS! WARNING! YOUR COMPUTER IS IN RISK! lol......

[chrisdude223]

oh dude thats ok i deleted like 78 trojan viruses once NOT PORN!!lol steam but almost every website has trojans bastards xD anyway i though it turned off ur pc or sumthing lol baii baii

PS: I can do sweet child o' Mine!!! THNX 4the vid dude!!!

[chronic9292]

dude your amp is fuckin sick

[ologibson7]

gracias,ya me sale y muy buenos videos

[WoodsyLad10]

narfire 124, dude it dusnt matter wether he uses his pinkey or not, this guy can play, dus tht really matter???

[narfire214]

slash doesnt use his pinckey when he plays it if you dont beleive me go check a live clip

[keeganllmmm12345]

thx

[cortadew]

Hey man!!!!! are you pro??

[lecaiddu53]

You need to train a lot if you want to succeed, but it's not so difficult

[guitarpro88888]

u so played that the wrong way

[Peacpromoter]

This guy is so wrong. its is the same thing except it is played a fret up or down Huh? you start on 11th fret.

[acoustic18]

it is played on the 12th fret, you have to tune your guitar down a semi tone to E flat

[guitarpheonix777]

ur stupid its tuned half a step down to E flat

[sNb206]

no he played it right. slash tunes to e flat and plays the same notes. its jus that if you keep your guitar at standard tuning. u use a half step down.

[Packersfan891]

yeaa you just tune the guitar down a half step so you play it on the 12th, if you have it in regular tuning then playing one fret down is the same

[fenderstratjourney]

its on the 12th fret tuned down a half step

[Muzikisawesome13]

i start on 11th fret?

[GibsonLesPaulSlash87]

What amp did you use?

[MultiKelz]

do you know how to play the blues anthemn solo?v i cant transcribed by ear!!

[funkytonkyz]

Slash duznt use his pinky for this

Good lesson though! ^^

[wurmstaart]

or you need to have fast fingers or you use ur pinky.. but i almost cant play with pinky so i use fast finger =3

[812mistyeyes]

Awesome,lol..

[szricsi4]

thank you!

[Pachekini]

Good man, you play correctly the riff, but the only thing you forgot is to tune down 1/2 tone your guitar to listen as exactly as the real song.

Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb

Good Work!!

[gwadii]

nice i have questio n what program do you use to putt tab in to the video? please answer i need some program to make video lessons

[dany33858]

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!

[ACDC4416]

I never use my pinky when I play this. Am I the only one who does that?

[SubBMarley]

I don't either. It's really just preference.

[heartagram112894]

many guitarist dont use there pinky

[ACDC4416]

OK thanks I though I was the only one. But now that I think of it Brian May barely ever uses his pinky.

[heartagram112894]

i dont use my pinky that much but i do use it

[tazzman560]

i mostly use it for Zeppelin solos

[thexacademyxisxlot45]

Yea my pinky spazes when i try 2 use it

[sNb206]

lol really? i cant play the song w/o using my pinky. haha

[elmaschingon142006]

yea me neither i never use my pinky I only use the fisrt threee fingers

[omar111222333]

me too.

[MetallicDethX]

me too, my pinky is weak lol

[peebleporpo]

Well, strengthen your pinky. It's pretty simple.

[LaCtoZ]

Slash doesnt use his pinky :)

[tjittosz]

ya, so?

[badsssssss]

@LaCtoZ Slash is amazing he doesnt need his pinky =)

[AaZzZzZaAaAxXxX]

[yeg316]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[vivaimaiden]

I'm going to sleep watching this video

[GOHAN117]

[broquenguitars]

almost if held the notes until the the next one then it wud be perfect

[miru021]

umm... hi! ^^

could anybody tell me how the f%^$k can slash not use his pinky?? =s

I believe what you say but I just can't picture it in my mind =p

thanks!!

[XTREMESHACKLES]

its easy just involes some barring but its real easy without ur pinky

[Donwuzhere69]

by using the rest of his fingers...

[ph34rONE3443]

A million videos show it lol

[jascc8]

you are amazing. keep doing these! i subscribed.

[franambrosis]

do you have the tabs of all the part after the riff? you started playong it after the riff

[classicrockriffs]

Not really, but the first chord is a C with the pull off, then down to a G then D, hope that helps...

[thezod123]

this is very helpfull :)

it dosent matter or anything but slash dosent use his pinky when he plays this

[X666X777X]

hey good job but go down a fret

[classicrockriffs]

This is the position it is played. But yes, to match the pitch of the recording you should tune down half step.

[colin1262]

great simple lessons on alot of classic rock tunes....Nice job man, Thanks for putting up here.

[classicrockriffs]

Thanks - glad they're helping..

[musicaddict333]

right fingering, wrong tuning its half a step down each string

[lilmissyvengeanceA7X]

i thought it was supposed to be in dropped tuning.....?

[LedZeplican]

it is

[Addycoolman]

is it standard tuning or is it different?

[classicrockriffs]

Standard tuning, cheers...

[LedZeplican]

no actually its supposed to be a half step down. But whatever... cool lesson!

[skipplet]

Slash plays tuned a half step down, but I think he was saying he played it in standard tuning in this video.

[maarcel12]

No, this playing is right! :b

[ibanez2235]

no ur retarted. slash play in half step down

[maarcel12]

realllllllly

[poppers112233]

actually he does

[guitard83]

so what?

ur supposed to learn how to play this, he ain't trying to cover the song, he's trying to be nice and show you how to play it.

[CFLXL]

really awesome man fuckin sweet

[RoversForever94]

Man You Rule' Id Love To Be As Good As You

[classicrockriffs]

Well you definitely can so keep at it, cheers...

[JERRYR708]

Hey STUPYALLA...You STUPYERK!...STUPYBUFFACE!

[stupyalla]

how old are you???

[jpea1993]

sorry men can you say me what kind of effect do you use and what is the name of your amp bye

[classicrockriffs]

No effects, just high gain on a Marshall JVM410...

Cheers

[chimpster06]

i find that to really get a slash tone, its quite easy, just turn the tone on your guitar all the way down and switch to the neck pick up.

sinple but really delivers.

=D

[SoloNetherlands]

nope slash doesnt play it with his pinky :)

[blazingdark]

yes he does

[ph34rONE3443]

No he doesn't. Watch Ritz 1988 Sweet Child o Mine. Slash only uses 3 fingers to play it. Not that you can't use your pinky. I'm just saying. Awesome tutorial man.

[1980sbrawl]

awesome work

[blazingdark]

dude can you help me how do you put tabs on your videos

[classicrockriffs]

You need video editing software that lets you overlay and scale another image containing the tab. I use FinalCutPro on a MacBookPro - though I used to use AdobePremiere on a PC. I'm sure there is other software that can do it too.

Good luck.

[blazingdark]

hey thanks and u no how when i tried to make a video the video speeds up but the audio stays the same its cuz the type of video they were were avi so i downloaded a video converter to turn it into mpeg's so check out my test its the first solo to number of the beast by iron maiden

[classicrockriffs]

Hey, yes I see it's all in sync now - get making those vids.

Cheers....

[blazingdark]

hey thanks

[blazingdark]

uhh is there anything i could use thats free adobe premiere costs too much money

[JcGamer93]

you are the only guy i turn to to study guitar shreding on the web, great vid and thanks a lot, you really should put tabs on ALL of your videos!!

[classicrockriffs]

Many many thanks...

I will try and put more tabs on too...

Cheers!

[MrSt3wart]

nice dude im a big fan of the tabs on the bottom too

[UberSciFiNerd]

thanks :)

[AndySC7]

Good lesson but the tone is fucking aweful

[prodrum19]

Tone doesn't make a good guitar payer. Skill does.
