      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.

    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

    Dude- I've learned so many songs form your lessons it's unreal. I play in a cover band, really we're a real band but we do covers to pay the bills- and I get sick of having to sit down and figure out songs sometimes- it takes away form time that could be spent developing our own original material. So- I just pull up one of your vids and let you show me- quick and easy, and you're always accurate- really appreciate it man. I still make myself figuring a few out by ear here and there- so I don't lose that skill- but if I did that with every song we covered, I'd never have time to work on my own stuff. Especially when we're covering something like this that I actually don't care for that much. I've never been a G&R fan tbh.

    @rockandmetaljunkie 4 роки тому +2

    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.

    • @karankyal694
      @karankyal694 4 роки тому +2

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

    • @red.domino
      @red.domino 4 роки тому +3

      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).

    I just listened to the original recording and Slash uses the other G chord that you play at 9:26 all through the intro. It sounds better and is easier to play. The D note on the B string should be in all 3 chords... G, C, and F. Your solo licks are great.
