[forzaviola23tm]

@miljanmarko9398 u cant understand cuz you suck , idiot

[MotownLyrics22]

Thanks, buddy. It took me watching parts of the video a couple times and a couple hours of practice, but I learned the first half or so, to about part three. The fast part is what I'm still working on. God Bless!!!!!!!!!

@Johnjimjimenez23 isnt that what the video is for? and go google songsterr sweet child o mine tabs for tabs with soundtrack

[pacovl46]

mate, u should do a tutorial on how to play the entire songs or at least from the beginning of the solo all the way to the end of the song because u r fucking awesome!. also, r u familiar with that live version of sweet child that's on one of the live era albums, the one with the alternate ending that's so fucking awesome? a tutorial with that ending would be definitely be it!!!

[rocker4142]

[aruyutut]

ROCK n ROLL BRO :)

[toavakamaPSN]

Same guitar only I just started: any tips on how to bend? I can't seem to make the right sounds...

:(

[phiup01]

@toavakamaPSN just read.... "Each string is tuned down 1/2 step for this song" ...

[iHateThisShirt]

@phiup01 how do you expect him/her to know what half step down means?

lol

[MYxCATSxONxFIRE]

@toavakamaPSN Spend some time practising purely bends. Bend the note half a step, then play the next note up (on the next fret), and this is what your bend should sound like. Then try a full bend, again playing the note 2 frets up, as this is what your bend should sound like. After a while it will become natural to bend the right amount. Hope this helps/ makes sense.

[acdcbagel]

nice frets lol

[dylfly]

Absolutely great video. No fucking about, no skipping through 'blabby' parts. Just the player version with a slow follow up. How it should be. Great dude. Keep it up. x

[giannisrapto]

what about the amplifaier

[Recovery82]

I have only been playing for 7 months and I can now play the whole solo at full speed. If there is one word of advice I can give you, it's practice, practice, practice, practice SLOWLY. It took me a few months to get it up to speed, but it's much better than playing really fast and sloppy. There were many times when I thought I won't be able to do it, but I kept practising.

Point is - YOU CAN ALL DO IT JUST PRACTICE!!!

[mrface19]

@Recovery82 It took me ten years of saying "I can't do that for shit" for me to actually do it.

[ctalbert1]

@Recovery82 Only 7 months and you can play this solo, thats impressive. Back when I had only played for 7 months I still sounded like a monkey picked up a guitar and tried to play it :( That was many years ago and I can play some really technical stuff, but I just recently started learning this solo, and it is giving me a tough time on both of the parts where it walks up for eight steps. How many hours per week do you practice?

[Recovery82]

@ctalbert1 I was recently on summer holidays (summer in Australia atm) and I really took advantage of my spare time and was practising hours a day for about 2 and a half months. Now I am back in my final year at school and have little time to practice except weekends.

[asidax24]

@Recovery82 yes! i will !!!!! :)))

[baka055]

@Recovery82 yeah ....me 2 i just learn it but i feel i cant do it ...but thanks a lot of your advice :D

[asidax24]

@baka055 me too it sounds impossible lol

[Austinwayne2]

hate when they dont say the frets......

[60millionaire]

i got a little annoyed at 4:31 ...

[guitarz94]

been playing guitar for 5 years and just decided to start learning this solo. my fingers feel like i'm a beginner again

[darqaos]

@guitarz94 im playing guitar for 6 months or something and this solo is not that hard for me..

[Thedeadspace13]

[kevin93423]

[skatr154]

how do you tune 1/2 step down

[chiphead777]

@skatr154 lol, i think u might be in the wrong place



[skatr154]

@chiphead777 and why is that

[chiphead777]

@skatr154 because u r trying to learn this song and u dont even know how to detune ur guitar a half step

[skatr154]

@chiphead777 oh im so very sorry

[TechMatt2]

@skatr154 search it up on google



[WildCardFive]

i memorized all the notes and can play them all at the perfect speed and it still sounds NOTHING like this. Urgh.

[Evan00789]

owaaaaoooooo Thanx a LOOOOOT

[astrocr9realmadrid]

100 % guitar pro ... ;-)

[sgperson101]

the only criticism is that u r a tad flat.

[sgperson101]

hey nice pickgaurd effect!

[creed1207]

F****** LEGEND! Thanx mate prob best lesson of this solo ive come across

[frieddayfriday]

how did slash even thought about this stuff?! i wonder how?! hehe.. best solo ever..

[FranzPeterFabila]

@frieddayfriday Yeah dude..

Believe it or not he's my distant Uncle.. And Im proud of it..



[beachinit4life]

@frieddayfriday he didnt think thats how

[AliceinChainzz]

you can play it in standard tune too right?

[TheNarutoshipp]

@AliceinChainzz yes but one note less than what he is playing i fret down so if he play 12 u play 11

[Kalsci]

@AliceinChainzz yeah one fret down

[AliceinChainzz]

i cant get the right melody at 4:32

[mrkizman011]

Hey man, nice video, it really helped me,your a good teacher:)

[Tiiimmmaaayyyy]

Do you have a tab for this?

[viksharingan10]

... boring ,besides the guy plays bendings when must to plays hammer on or pull off

[AZNKLINE7]

@viksharingan10 u no how to speak english? cause u sure suk at it, and hes doing fine, better than any other lessons or tabs on the web

[DownerZCA]

@AZNKLINE7 You want to talk shit, yet you have no grammar or spelling skills whatsoever get of of here troll. Hes entitled to his opinion.

[AZNKLINE7]

@DownerZCA i wonder why u wuld get so mad. im just pointing ouut that hes doing perfectly fine

[huntelar933]

which pickup do you have in your strat? :)

[funofsk8ing]

hey, nice! what gauge are your strings btw?

[moviemaker3000]

The slow parts REALLY help, but it was difficult for me to determine the rhythm for the "connector" lick you described, because you didn't play the slow part in time. My suggestion would be to do that. Otherwise, great video!

[r0rzkey]

My fingers are bleeding...

[ByKubicek]

YES! THANK YOU! Dont you wanna make other GnR songs? :P this video is fantastic and I learn from it!

[Insertmag]

this solo has destroyed my fingers but totaly worth it

[makapangyarihan123]

@Insertmag hey how old are you

[VikingLyricsJunior]

Great video lesson showing it slowly..! but can only find 1st and 2nd lesson. Really looking forward for the rest of the solo lessons. You play really well :o))

[marayishere]

Awesome tutorial dude!

I was wondering what strings you're using? :)

[flyingVdean]

truelad.

[oavivo]

the short bit at 1:05 is just cruel.

[borce0712]

Fucking want to do this!

[WildCardFive]

dammit I memorized all the notes and I can play them lightning fast now and it still sounds wrong when I do it.

[Ariakas7708]

@WildCardFive Gotta get a feel for his style, thats why slash is the man. None of his scales are anything innovative. Hes got a real groove in his style, which is why youl actualy see his body dip when hes playing, catch the right notes to accentuate and youl get it, have fun and dance on those notes !

[DerDussel97]

@WildCardFive or just tune your guitar ;)

[TheTONEYSHON]

no wah wah )=

[Ariakas7708]

@TheTONEYSHON slash doesnt use a wah in this what do you mean?

[axemanbiggz]

@Ariakas7708 yes he does. :)

[Ariakas7708]

@axemanbiggz yeah he does, i had to go back and listen to the original again lol duh

But is there wah in the intro? I think there is only wah in the part where this guy says to switch to trebel. not sure tho

[TheJorgecamacho]

awesomeee i jizz mypants too

[jump25ontoast]

its not really a lesson this ytou just play it through slowly and its hard to learn from that =(

[MrGoldenStrike]

@jump25ontoast If you can't learn from this lesson, it's because you need more practice untill you learn this solo, keep working dude! Good luck.

[jump25ontoast]

@MrGoldenStrike kk when i learn it ill send a video response

[jump25ontoast]

@MrGoldenStrike hey its me again i just vthough ide let you know ive managed to learn this solo i went over it with my guitar teacher.i just find it easier when there is some one acctually there to teach you it =))

[Stargate674]

this is too much I've just been playing for a year now, without a teacher, I can play descend, but this... this is toooo much :(

[RiffScape]

@Stargate674 I too have been playing a year this November and ill make a replica lesson video for instruction to help everyone else who like myself have been "self-taught".

Keep rocking everyone!

[1999marcomarco]

c'e un punto del video dv nn ho capito un cazzo

[AntoBach]

Bravo davvero!

[RobWestgate]

This video helped me a lot with this solo, check it out on my channel :)

[MATTIEBOYY88]

@dadc1026 Cut your nails ... nails and guitar isn't a good combination anyways .

[supersonicfan990]

God section 4 is so complicated, but thanks to you I can play all the wap up to that! THANK YOU!

[gronluc]

I have hard time with the faster part, the transition is difficult to achieve perfectly but this is a great lesson.

[hmunoz1996]

are you using distortion?

[Snipa47Fan]

@hmunoz1996 sounds like it, but just a little

[ThaDjcm]

hi great lesson but ive got a question im playing for about 7 to 8 months guitar do you think i could manage to try to learn it :)

[oceano901]

@ThaDjcm of course man....i kno im not the guy givin the lesson but iv been playin as long as u have and i kno the entire solo and i play it perfectly practise makes perfect atleast 7 to 9 hours if u can manage to practise tht long ull be a pro in no time U CAN DO IT!!! :D

[MATTIEBOYY88]

@ThaDjcm Definitely, depending on how much you practice daily.

[xxxEnterSandmanXxX]

great man:) got in short of an hour tnx to you. forgot that this solo was my fav solo of all time and i never learned it so n1 man:):)

[zoasia996]

fucking amazing! ; o

[69juggler69]

great lesson man =)

any sugestion for the fast part or just practice?

[metallicalover284]

thats a preety old guitar i guess

[willywacker27496]

dude, you need to put tabs somewhere cuz its pretty fucking annoying trying to learn this by just watching you play slowly

[yamahabmxer1]

vfvijdcdsaocnfaovincnakjnjvnwi­kn kn

[Brentypooz]

4:30 is hard but keep practising it, and you'll look back be like 'wtf was i thinking'

[JIRIC8581]

@Brentypooz yea its always like that dude but when i lean this i will be just like phil X

[Rossassati]

really good lesson! But i think you play to fast some times when you are gonna play it slow :D! :D

[rs2411]

PRESS 6 to main solo !!

[masonbaer1996]

i got to part four and then I was like "1 sec, lemme play guitar for another couple years before i try this"

[JIRIC8581]

4:31 for hard part :(

[BillieJoeArmstrong95]

@JIRIC8581 do you know which musical scale is it?



[JIRIC8581]

@BillieJoeArmstrong95 dude i ve been only playin guitar for 1 month (seroiusly n hope to get btr) but i have no fucking clue n im not learning from this vid i prefer the full song its a mexican vid but it has tabs n i like tht solo btr its more accurate believe me

[connororrstu]

@JIRIC8581 - If you've only been playing for one month, leave this solo for now. Learn something less skill demanding just untill you feel ready.

[JIRIC8581]

@connororrstu i can play it now all u need to do is break it into pieces like dude says n boom u got it if i can learn it any body can

[TheSk8erballs]

5:07 for solo

[TheCSD123]

4:32 onwards: the section that will get you laid

[t337c213]

I know i'm kind of a beginner, but i still think it would have helped if you had spoken aloud what you were doing as you did it, rather than just playing it slowly and hoping that we can follow by sight. just a suggestion.

[IamJigle]

@t337c213 You definatly are a beginner man, most people know to open up a tab aswell as watch a video :/

[chahid1992]

@t337c213 its good to learn it this way just learn like 3 notes at a time when you get that one go to the next when you get a hole part you play the part so you can go onn. it really works for me. but if you are a beginner then maybe this one is still to hard you can try the first solo of sweet child o mine that one is much simpler to do.

just saying:)

[Henkie010Penkie]

It went well until 4:33 

[fc7alibi]

Still, thanks a lot for taking the time to post this! Great breakdown!

[lsugotigers1]

what key is this in?

[koolkattech]

@lsugotigers1 G, its not d, people will probs say that, ive been playyin guitar for 39 years and even asked slash, seriously

[XxanthousxX]

hey man... nice lesson.. but found you went too fast and didn't explain the parts too well... might have been helpful for you to have said the tabs.... but other than that good job!

[kylebarry20]

type in google ultimateguitartabdotcom you can find pretty much every tab in there perfect for begginers

[FredFan8]

Needs a tab...but other then that awesome.

[officershrute]

Wah wah part medium slow - 6:09

[officershrute]

@dadc1026 I have the same problem. You could try holding the tips of your fingers forward more to where your nails are closer to the fretboard and the next string is flush with the surface of your fingernails that way the string doesn't get caught under your fingernails.

[officershrute]

Wah wah part really slow - 5:07

[TheBreezeJr]

absolutely nailed it! fantastic dude. learned alll of it now!

[masterliroxx]

what kind of tuning did u use??? isn't standar tuning rigth?? please tell me..... saludos
