This is my cover of this classic tune from the Appetite for Destruction (1987). The best hard rock song by the best hard rock band.
I used a great backing track that contains Drums, Bass and Vocals, and I just took care of the guitar work.
I tried to make a note for note cover. I think its really interesting to see someone improvising over this song, but what I love the most is seeing how the original guitarists played the song, Im sure some of you think the same, I dont think its just me. And its a shame there arent many covers out there that honor the original way to play the song. I know, it takes a lot of time to figure out every detail in the song, but I think its worth the effort :)
As you probably know, the original song was recorded the classic GnR way: Izzy on the left channel playing rhythm during the whole song, Slash on the right channel playing rhythm during the whole song, and Slash again on the center of the audio (recorded later) playing solos and other licks/riffs.
So my cover is based on 2 main guitars (Izzy on left and Slash on right). I arranged my cover in a way that Slash's guitar (right) plays rhythm and solos in a single line to show my way to play the song on a single guitar, so when this guitar plays rhythm you can hear it on the right channel, and it changes to the center of the audio when a solo starts; this changing of place is really simple to do to the track, and it helps to make the song sound better, more like the original song (imagine listening to the solo on the right speaker, thats why I center the sound of this guitar when its playing a solo). So if the guitar on the right starts playing the solo and goes to the center of the audio, then a 3rd guitar appears just to play Slash's rhythm on the right channel. I hope you get my idea (keeping in mind my broken english).
I could record the song just the way GnR did, 2 main guitars playing just rhythm and the solos recorded by separated on single videos. But I like showing my way to play the song on a single guitar, thats why I made this arrangement to Slash's guitar.
Izzy's guitar is way less complicated, it shows and stays on the left channel during the whole song, and its a pretty cool rhythm also, I love Izzy's rhythm, he always makes his rhythm parts awesome, I guess he has to put some effort to his parts since most times he doesnt have a solo.
Ok, enough bla bla bla ;)
I hope you like my cover :)
Thanks for watching!

This is our collaboration guitar cover. Im lucky to work here with my friend Ocrue, a very talented guitarist from Japan.
Check out his channel:
http://www.youtub...
We made a video on this song about a year ago, and we used the original song, thats why youtube took it out (but "They won't break me").
We decided to give it another try, the only difference is now we are using a FREE BACKING TRACK (hey umg "you can suck me!!!"), its available on guitarbackingtrack.com
About the parts each one of us is playing, we can´t say who's playing Slash's part, or who's playing Izzy's part, but I can explain it this way:
Ocrue, on the right, plays pretty much Slash's part except for the first half of the middle solo and other licks.
And I, gewerh44, on the left, play pretty much Izzy's part, except I take care of the first half of the middle solo, and I also played the licks/arrangements that Slash recorded on the original song (you can see these parts on a window that shows at the bottom of the video during the verses).
I hope you like our collaboration guitar cover.
Thanks for watching!

At a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They were not nice boys; nice boys don't play rock & roll. They were ugly, misogynist, violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit "Sweet Child O' Mine" showed. While Slash and Izzy Stradlin ferociously spit out dueling guitar riffs worthy of Aerosmith or the Stones, Axl Rose screeched out his tales of sex, drugs, and apathy in the big city; bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler were a limber rhythm section that kept the music loose and powerful. Guns N' Roses' music was basic and gritty, with a solid hard, bluesy base; they were dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest -- everything that good hard rock and heavy metal should be. Guns N' Roses released their first EP in in 1986, which led to a contract with Geffen; the following year, the band released their debut album, Appetite for Destruction. They started to build a following with their numerous live shows, but the album didn't start selling until almost a year later, when MTV started playing "Sweet Child o' Mine." Soon, the album shot to number one and Guns N' Roses became one of the biggest bands in the world. By the end of 1988, they released G N' R Lies, which paired four new, acoustic-based songs with their first EP. Guns N' Roses began to work on the follow-up to Appetite at the end of 1990. In October of that year, the band fired Adler, claiming that his drug dependency caused him to play poorly; he was replaced by Matt Sorum from the Cult. During recording, the band added Dizzy Reed on keyboards. By the time the sessions were finished, the new album had become two new albums. After being delayed for nearly a year, the albums, Use Your Illusion I and II, were released in the fall of 1991. The Illusions showcased a more ambitious band; while there were still a fair number of full-throttle guitar rockers, there were stabs at Elton John-style balladry, acoustic blues, horn sections, female backup singers, ten-minute songs with several different sections, and a good number of introspective, soul-searching lyrics. In short, they were now making art; amazingly, they were successful at it. While the albums sold very well initially, the band soon fell out of favor. Stradlin left the band by the end of 1991 and with his departure the band lost their best songwriter. Once Nirvana's Nevermind hit the top of the charts in early 1992, there was a distinct division between what was cool in hard rock and what wasn't; Guns N' Roses -- with all of their pretensions, impressionistic videos, models, and rock star excesses -- were very uncool. The band didn't fully grasp the change until 1993, when they released their album of punk songs, The Spaghetti Incident?; it received some good reviews, but the band failed to capture the reckless spirit of not only the original versions, but their own Appetite for Destruction. By the middle of 1994, there were rumors flying that the band was about to break up, since Rose wanted to pursue a new, more industrial direction and Slash wanted to stick with their blues-inflected hard rock.
