Be sure to check out the updated version of this solo video... it is much better to learn from kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnjWpp6NgN1od9E

[@AngeloGiummarra]

I use distortion, an overdrive to boost the distortion, and chorus (a bit). Then there's a part where you've to switch in the wah pedal! Then if you want, you can use a compressor pedal to "normalize" the sound. For the last part of the song (where there is the wah) I use the bridge-pick up (in my strato, cause it makes high-middle sounds, more bright!

[@saviodias3803]

He starts teaching the main solo at around 3:35 ... Ironically the solo starts at the same time in the song as well. Just an observation, wonder if this was deliberate 🤔

[@Ibanez395]

Wah solo lesson starts 8:25

[@josephmiguelcruz1313]

thank you

[@FuckitnFightit]

Ibanez395 is that part correct? I wish he would have played the whole thing sped up so I could hear how it sounds.

[@donalcarolan6914]

If you change the speed to 2.0 at 11.08 he plays the whole thing through and you can here its correct

[@mattthedestroyer2804]

Ibanez395 no its starts way before that your missing most of the solo

[@AbzorTCryteK]

LocChokingVMorningG I know this is late but I don't think this part is "Accurate" to the way the song is actually played because all the videos I seem has slash started on the high E string and build his way up the neck towards the bends he does in the WAH pedal part kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jVdmhuiZ6jars This is one of the only videos I could find of the camera showing the full solo lol.

[@Dslasher99]

17:15 Very cool lick.

[@gabrielmunoz1000]

thumbs up..youre doing great.thanks for sharing you talent.KEEP IT UP

[@jordanbulakski3894]

I don’t know how but slash really made that simple pentatonic scale hard to play with all that bending and shifting fast. When you learn it though, it’s all worth it.

[@acemanz]

this one is taking some time Mr Brown, but I'm plugging along, halfway thru part 5. I needed this challenge

[@acemanz]

Great stuff, I must have gone over this a million times, slowed it down to half speed. You did a great job on this one Carl Brown. I will be using my new Drop tune pedal on your most recent post. This had to take you a very long time to put together? Part 6 will be a breeze? Hopefully Thank you so much. Mucho appreciato

He said in part 1 that he was gunna do it in E tuning as most people play in that tuning so it's easier for the beginners to learn without changing their tuning as yet.

[@zeeshan8one325]

amazing technique to teach a guitar loser like me.....had failed to figure out this solo all my life.....thanks bro......

[@iHendrix95]

Not too much effects but the fast part of the solo you need to change to the treble pickup and to use a wah pedal to make it sound similar to the recorded version

[@zachwoodpr]

Guns n roses- coma!!!!! Please!!!

[@robinwhittaker3414]

Can't get the end part of the scale when the wah kicks in 😫😫

[@larrywhitted7333]

Robin Whittaker Just believe in yourself and keep practicing

[@dannycm208]

I am finding that I can't hold the note on a single string long enough to hammer out 3 or 4 notes like you do. How can I do that? By the way, your video is enormously helpful.

[@IamWooky]

+Danny M Learn When you hammer on.. you need to hit it harder..

[@nahiyanalamgir3898]

Configuring your amp, increasing the volume may help it ring out for a bit longer.

[@guitarlessonsformortalssan8619]

IamWooky your string may be too close to the frets. That will kill your sustain if the strings are hitting them.

[@TheTeaDubz]

Cant believe nobody has given you the correct answer yet. Yes you want to hammer on harder, but you also want to "flick" off the strong for your pull offs. It's almost like you're picking the string with your fretting hand instead of your picking hand. All the people who are good at doing pull offs do this.

[@elordemedina9474]

Very good tutor. Thanks.🥰

[@ninadsakha]

Day 1 of learning this solo and done with right tempo till 11: 28 part.

[@greghinkle6138]

Thanks, always Carl....I learnt all of it in a week, incredibly slow and sloppy, I'll keep at it. It seems like after the 3rd chorus, when you go into the solo. Your playing it a little different than you did in your earlier tutorial. You may be hitting the same notes, just in a different spot. I'm sure of it, I watched several times. I'm not talking about a few fills you may be adding. Anyway, let me know. Incredible cover though!

hey man dat fast part is killing me. I got the whole song spot on except this ascending run. u did a great job with the tutorial man :) just the last time u played the fast run, where u played it in real time u added the 12th fret B string before the bend but u didnt mention it while teaching it. this is wt u said right? - play 14 on the high E down to 15 on the B, back to 14 on the high E. quick hammer on pull off from 12 to 14, pick 15 fret B back to the 12 high E and finally end with bend and pull of to 12 on G string. Im so confused man help me out im trying rock the wah right and everything Also some other tutorials say Slash starts the fast ascending run from like the middle of the guitar (8th fret 3rd string) n makes his way up with lot of sluring/sliding. Unlike, wt ur saying so idk wt he does...

[@emilymarie9796]

I noticed that too, it confused me! still a good tutorial though
