[@ryandirkse4374]

OMG!!!! This was the best sweet child o mine tutorial. Thank u so much for breaking this down. Ur amazing!!!! I was searching everywhere for that guitar solo on acoustic with the build up and cant wait to learn it.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad I could help!

[@AndresMartinez-kq3th]

Great lesson. Thanks from Australia.

[@LaurenBateman]

Hello Andres!

[@AndresMartinez-kq3th]

hello again Lauren. Loved the sound from GNR since forever. My favourites are in use your illusion 1&2: Estranged Locomotive Dead horse. But you still gotta listen GUSTAVO CERATI. You will meet one of the many great guitar players from Argentina. Cheers form Adelaide, in South Australia.

[@stevemercure902]

What a fun video. I'm not ready to tackle this, YET, but it was fun watching you teach the song.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ericwise1849]

I have been playing since the songs from Appetite were the hottest thing around, and this is the best breakdown I have ever had for the chord structure of the song. I appreciate it. You are an excellent teacher.

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you. Their songs aren't easy. Lots of different parts. Hard to do online. I have a lesson of the intro coming out soon.

[@richardjones4080]

Great work Lauren looking forward to the intro vid

This is pretty cool. Very fun and challenges us beginners musically. You're awesome as always.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks William. Make sure to watch the performance at the end since I think it really shows you the different types of dynamics you can get out of this amazing song.

[@mayplace1961]

I really wanna learn this track ,G n R rock..thank you for doing this lesson and you've got yourself another subscriber, cheers and keep on rockin 🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸👍😁😁

[@michaelsedlak4191]

Super

[@LaurenBateman]

So nice

[@edwardpuddy1552]

When I kicked around with that song I picked it the way slash does the opening. It seemed easyer than doing cords

[@LaurenBateman]

Yeah I'm going to do a whole other lesson on the intro. That alone is a 10-15 minute lesson.

[@edwardpuddy1552]

Another cool intro I learned is rebel rebel David Bowie and song has 3 simple cords D A E

[@R.L.Humpert]

Hey there :) is there a substitute for B barre chord if I just suck at barre chords?

[@LaurenBateman]

I know that's crappy huh. You could play a B5 power chord.

[@gedeokagogo9945]

TQ..🙏

What a wild lesson… that’s going to be a long slog for me I’m pumped. Ty ty 👍❤️

[@LaurenBateman]

Ha ha. It's a really fun song and if you can play this all the way through then you are doing great on the guitar.

[@markcafebrown2883]

Freaking AWESOME DEAR

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sean3994]

Yes, I was just saying to myself I need to play some more Gunners! Not a fan of non-standard tuning though :( "Where do we go now"? I followed your lead and played Bar chords down one fret and Yea! I'll be coming back for more "Sweet child of mine"

[@LaurenBateman]

There ya go. Yeah you can just use power chords or barre chords and flatten each one by one note. So G barre chord would become G flat and then you don't have to adjust tuning.

[@dirtsmiles8098]

This sounds great, I’ve been playing a much more basic version. I’d like to work on the strumming and pattern you use here. Is there something I can use instead of the B? I still can’t play that one.

[@LaurenBateman]

You could use a B power chord. Not the greatest but it will work.

[@johnhurley3173]

Hi Laura, great strumming , well explained!!!! I am 66 and slightly above a beginner. Doin real good on accents but I can't get Em, C, B, Am strum fast. I keep on practicing from those 8th notes slowly but can't get strumming fast even close to you, any suggestions? Thanks

[@LaurenBateman]

Are you practicing for speed? Or are you practicing so that your cords always sound good? If you want to push speed you have to use a metronome and sacrifice a little bit of clarity in the short term.

Olá, Excelente aula de como tocar a Base Harmônica da Música. Teria como voce explicar a Harmonia..dela o realmente estamos tocando..tipo; Se esta no campo harmonico maior...e entra tambem no menor...Dominante, subDominante...acordes de passagem ..enfim...o que realmente envolve a estrutura da musica...???

2nd string is the B string, so... still going to Bb?

[@LaurenBateman]

Bb when you tune down.

[@bethandrews8872]

My tuner doesn't show flat so unclear how to tune it effectively. Regular tuning sounded horrid, as you mentioned it may. Still enjoyed lesson and understand strumming. Hope all Guns n roses songs don't have that tuning!!

[@bethandrews8872]

Can a capo be applied???

[@LaurenBateman]

Beth, some there don't. Better quality tuners will show the flat. You can use a capo, but it will bring the pitches up, not down.

[@curtisbelyea3454]

@@LaurenBateman Capo at first fret, tune to standard, remove capo! Also, as others have stated, this is a great intermediate level. Because, let's face it, I'm never pulling it off like those 12 year olds did...

[@rzh3443]

Great lesson, of course, but you can’t comb your hair before doing Guns and Roses if you want the full atmosphere! Thanks.
