Thank you Burnout Paradise for making me love this song!!

[@para572]

So did I!!

[@rowenelliott4191]

I love that game

[@t3chnical_3rr0r]

I Grew up to that game!!! I love it!

[@yooutubb]

that game was such a big part of my childhood

[@Sh-xt2mo]

Wow this is soo great game))

[@muzerino]

Man, when I watch these old videos from the early days it makes me realise how much Carl has improved his lessons over the years. Even back then they’re still better than most of the ones today. 😉

[@jkubin]

Dear Carl, thank you very much for these great guitar lessons. They really helped me to improve a lot. Greetings from Germany

[@warwicksmiley]

Just had the tune in my head but needed directions, Which you gave perfectly.Carl ur a good teacher, I've followed you for years on utube and you've taught me plenty. Thank you. W.

[@sebastian7494]

Regarding the solo, the teaching is so clean and on point, I have understood everything without even going for my first attempt. God-level teaching! 🤟🏽

[@uzieltorres9022]

thanks so much....you have all these awesome videos where you teach a full song rather than leave your subscribers hangin halfway with a partial lesson or a lesson of the main riff like a lot of you tube teachers do...i know its kus a lot of em want to to pay for lessons of the full sonh with them and stuff but you dont do that...thanks so much for that...if i get to one day be as great guitar player as you are i will do the same as you have set a great example

[@78borlando]

You are a great player, a great teacher and a great person!! Thank you so much for what you do: you allow us to get a dream playing our favourite riff and solos!! Tantissime grazie!!

[@chitowhustler]

You are a great teacher for me. Absorb your teaching style quite well. Thanks you sir. learned always with you always with me and this from you. Songs I never thought Id figure out.

[@forceofchaos1]

Thought of requesting this one but you already made a lesson of it XD

[@ChristosLouridas]

I know that it's an old video but I Was looking into it on standard tuning. And thank you for being so to the point and for the tips. Cheers from Greece.

[@everydayisperfect]

Winner! One of the best guitar how to videos out there. Clean and informative. Easy to follow and inspiring.

[@Nicenigel14]

[@PureMemesShorts]

Nice video

[@SerbanGhita]

This is the most cool lesson I've seen in months. Thanks a lot! You can tell from the arpeggio pattern that Izzy was a fucking genius!

[@MrGunwitch]

No that's incorrect. Slash said in interviews that he wrote the intro. It's got his signature sound all over it, and he plays the part live so there's little doubt there.

[@theausdog]

For a long long time Carl has always been my 1st place to turn when learning a song

[@I3BQGamer]

Thank you for these lessons... I'm finally the life of the party!!!

[@rockandmetaljunkie]

Great lesson. All these years of listening to the intro of that studio version, have revealed something to me. I'm 100% sure the second time Slash plays that sequence (when the snare drum kicks in), he plays the F chord (standard tuning) slightly different. Maybe he's not arpeggiating, but playing the full chords, I'm not entirely sure. But if you listen very closely, you will notice a difference to the sound. Maybe Slash messed it up a little bit, who knows, all sorts of mishaps could happen when you play in the studio.

[@eugeniazieme8663]

awwww my fingers are so smalllllllllll!!!!!!!!!! 1:07 clean guitar intro 9:43 distorted guitar intro 12:00 intro solo how do you get that tone i am having a hard time on my amp

[@karankyal694]

for the intro tone use chorus effect and the correct amt of gain and reverb

[@red.domino]

Try practising stretch scales and stretch chords and consider on buying a small scale guitar (i.e. a Les Paul or a SG which have 24,5 inches neck lenght) with a speedy neck (C shape 20mm thicknes and small nut width). Regarding the note you should note that Slash usually uses a medium-high distortion level (even though he cranks that poor Marshall to its maximum) and he pushes a lot mids through the EQ, while cutting treble and high. The the chourus fx is very subtle (low rate and tight width). Said that it also depends on the type of magnets your guitar has and your amp type (valve or transistor or digital).

[@felipevollkopf]

@@red.domino Most relevant comment ever.

[@red.domino]

@@felipevollkopf thanks man, I appreciate your opinion

[@bjrnchrstn]

After 11 years still as useful as ever 👌🏼

[@felipevollkopf]

I am learning this song just to make a video about riffs with chorus effect, and this video is amazing.

[@zachvandiver153]

Happy 10.5 years to this gem! 🥳🥳

[@powergin1]

Thank you Carl once again you have shared your wonderful knowledge ,but unlike others you have made it so easy to understand. I always come back to you when i want to learn something and that particular tune i remember trying to learn years ago from Danny Gill on lick library ,No disrespect to Danny cos he's great ,but they should have employed you for that teaching. Respect to you as always and much love from England .

[@TheHolyBobz]

Only 7K views ?? It is by far the best video to learn how to play this song. Most other videos are made by freaking amateurs. Thank alot!

[@tyroneazul3317]

Sir, it’s been 9 years. I just want to say hello again

Kudos for noticing the open D string i/o the full G chord at the end of the sequence.

[@freak77007]

your lessons are awesome perfect camerawork, good sound, not the long talks!! One point of critic: you should explain your pedals etc.. (like in sweet child o mine,...)

[@beqaofshilda]

Awesome!!! Thank you bro

[@trisv1974]

Sir, you are amazing... fu#$% A nice playing!!!!!

[@tejerkic1234]

I can play this song, and i love it. Good lesson

[@scottwilliams846]

Still a beginner and haven't played for upwards of a week. While I managed to get all the strings to sound, I forgot I need to play a little bit every day to build guitar calluses on my fingertips so I had to stop. Wish I could've kept going but poor maintenance says no.

[@aurora_98]

The solo is easier to play than the intro Thanks for this love your lessons

[@scottautoprep94]

First chord of the intro is impossible 😂

[@lazyG007]

best lesson on youtube you should do more GNR!

[@ROCjetBlue320]

Thank you, great video.

[@SDSHugh]

Hi, I really like this lesson. Im stuck at 10:35... can you tell which strings you're strumming for the the C power chord? You say 5th fret on two middle strings, but that leaves 2nd string open which as far as I know makes that a C minor? Sorry, Im a newb

[@miogostalbert6799]

SDSHugh fret 3 on A string and fret 5 on D and G string

[@ethanledesma7506]

Chuck chuck things are awesome!

[@morganmanesh5142]

Man this song is one of the first where I actually have to use my pinky😂the stretch at the beginning is killing me

[@jdogb1]

Awesomeness. Question, on the “chuck chucks” around 11:00 mark, is most of the muting done with the left hand ? Any with right palm ? Or both...

[@PittPenguin]

Jason FireBlade_FPV I would’ve thought = right hand

[@jdogb1]

Simon G I would think so too, but at times they get creative with muting techniques

[@-BlackDeath-]
