I love how this video tells you witch fingers go on what string and on what fret unlike most videos where it just says like chords because I’m a beginner and this is a good video
Little known fact: Slash uses this intro as a warmup exercise. Axel thought it was pretty cool sounding and wanted it in the song itself.
Very known fact that literally everyone knows
@@democracydaily9149 I mean i didnt but whatever
@@democracydaily9149 I ain’t know that either
@@democracydaily9149 I didn’t know it so how about you stop being a dick
@@democracydaily9149 I did not know that either.
Justin. Brian from Sydney here. Your teaching style is amazing and you've brought from never having picked up a guitar in April this year to being able to play 10-12 songs end-to-end. Thank you so much. I've spent so much time watching your videos I feel like I know you so well. Thanks again and keep them coming.
Thx dude :) you been putting the hours in obviously. Congrats.
When I'm in the mood to learn something new, you're the first channel I go to. You give the most detailed, accurate, and easiest to understand instruction I've found.
Glad you enjoyed it. There are now 700+ song lessons plus a song request board here: www.justinguitar.com/songs

I give you a ton of credit for admitting that your earlier effort wasn't quite right, and then taking the time to do a very accurate version. The attention to detail is greatly appreciated!

Justin is known for his honesty. That's why we like him.
Watch guitar tutorials upside down. It becomes easier to view finger positioning since the view would be the way you would normally look down at a guitar👍👌
Peter Scalise I'm a lefty so doesn't really work for me :(
Ambarie you can play guitar and fret with your left hand even if you're a lefty. Just practice
+Zack 2.0 Yeah, a friend of mine does that. He has no problem playing that way. Also, didn't Mark Knopfler do that?
Zack 2.0 I actually have a left handed guitar ;)
No need for me. I'm a leftie player. Technically, this video is already mirrored for me! ;)
Justin really knows how to teach... love how he breaks everything down so it's easy to learn
Thanks for teaching me play the guitar!
Youre the best Justin!
Greets from Europe
Cheers!
Wow the tone is identical to the recording!
Yeah scary close I think :)
I can't find the place on the website that shows the tone settings. Can you help please?
Matt x69x Yep the Les Paul obviously helps, just saying the tone is identical to the recording.
+JustinGuitar Songs what kinda pedal did you use man sounds great !!!
Yea, slash uses a gibson and justin also uses one.
Can't wait for the next parts. I will have achieved a life long goal when I can play this (including solos) from start to finish. Thank you and come do a workshop in Wellington NZ sometime! :)
you taught me everything i know justin , from my first chord to sweet child o mine- thats pretty epic ,thanks :)
i just got the justin guitar 4chords app for a bit of fun aswell - i was broke when i started out so youre honour system was a lifeline
The tone of that guitar sounds amazing😍😰
Justin!! Perfect tone and playing mate.
I don't even play the guitar and I enjoyed this. You seem to have a really great tutorial style.
Yaaaaayyy! Finally in way better quality. : )
Thanks Justin!
I use to play long ago, I watched your video today and you brought me back up to speed and some thanks brother!
There are hundreds of Lesson videos and I certified Justin is the only that explained super clearly and now i can play this song! 😎 thanks !
How coincidental, I was listening to Appetite for Destruction on my way home just then and was thinking "I should really learn the right way to play this song" .. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial, Justin. Great, as per usual! I've never been a fan of GnR or Slash, although I guess it's much better to just play it if someone asks if I know how to play it rather than look like a goose when I say that I don't have a clue! For me, it's actually easier to stick to the alternate picking because that's the way I'm used to playing. However, it's very nice of you to study it closely enough to break it into up and down strokes based on what Slash does. Excellent job!!
Hi Justin! I just want you to know that I have learned so much from your videos! MY brother gave me his old guitar a month or 2 ago and thanks to you I'm already doing really well on the beginner stage. Thank you so much!
I greatly appreciate this learning experience. I love guns n roses and being able to play this song will make my family cry
Thanks Justin. How you can play and talk at the same time is awesome.Great tutorial and playing as usual.
I have just bought a Stratocaster and haven’t really known where to start. This video has helped a lot. Thanks Justin🤘
thank u from Siberia:D
You're awesome guitar teacher. Positive atmosphere and good lessons. All is simple and clear.
Thanks so much for this amazing tutorial.
Wonderful piece of playing and very well explained, all salutes to Slash as well, thanks guys.
I learnt to play this from the first lessons you did but always used the same fingering as you show in this new version as I personally found it more comfortable. I always thought I was doing it wrong but it was the only way I could play it!! Great lesson and now looking forward to the rest as I've since forgotten exactly how to play some of the other riffs. Cheers :)
I remember your original video of this tutorial. Very first one I ever tried learning, even if it was on an acoustic guitar back in '08. In fact, I think the original video of this is the first video I ever watched of yours along with Stairway. My how time flies. Thank you for the tutorials through all these years!
Thanks for doing a HD version.
By far my fav GnR song. The only one I really wanna get.
Justin you're the best teacher out there. Period. Thank you so much for all the great and FUN lessons.
Out of all the UA-cam guitar teachers you are one of the best I learned how to play house of the rising sun. Animals version you slow it down perfectly and don’t overload the learners mind. 👍
Thank you for the tutorial. I was struggling quite a bit.
Oh my! I was doing alternate picking! Thank you for this 🤘🏼
Awesome lesson Justin...thank you so very much. Also, your tone was spot on. Excellent!
Hey Justin would you consider making a DVD for the training for this song. I'm a subscriber and have been watching and trying to learn this song but my internet is so crappy that it's buffering so much it's hard to learn with so many interruptions. Thanks John
Down up down down up down up down works for me Justin.
Thanks Justin, the outro part at the end is a little tricky to follow but I slowed the video play speed to 0.25 and managed to jot it down.
Thank you for your channel ✌️
now to practice
Oh Justin Thx so much for going out of your way to re do this one. I did master it the way you showed us the first time you posted it and yes I did find it very difficult alternating the strings. Thx also for letting us know the settings on the guitar. I also think this is if not the best guitar intro I've ever heard. cheer cobbler.😎
Amazing tutorial! I slow down Slash’s picking and I see it’s is down up up up up down up up not down up up up up down up down. Idk, if I am wrong or not. However, it works both!❤
Fantastic! Hoping for a tutorial on the Stone Roses' 'Beautiful Thing' in the coming weeks. Cheers from Seoul
Thanks Justin. Been trying to sort out that last little riff for a week. Logged on here and had an "oh yeah" moment. I love your lessons and your songbooks. Thank you for putting them all up here.
A beginner and been on this a few months. Getting the notes ringing into each other and hitting 125 BPM (i play it at 100 atm) is the hard bit for me.
yep
top lesson, looking forward to the rest. ...
Great attention to detail..as always...nothing more beautiful than the sight & sound of a goldtop les paul
Excellent video. Worth noting the picking combination is different on the last 2 bars!
The Doors Robbie Krieger intro on Light my Fire is the best
Justin, you are a great teacher. Learn a lot from your tutorials. GOOD JOB MAN & KEEP IT UP !
Hey Justin! Gotta be "that guy " and point out you change the picking when you play it your way. You throw in one downstroke, rather than the ups that you say slash uses. That said, really looking forward to the videos! There's that one run he does, crazy ascending run that everyone gets wrong! Great channel, best of it's kind!!!
I just throw mistakes in sometime to test y'all ;) you won a banana! - and yes - Ihave figured the crazy ascending run!! :)
u can play the intro and most of the song in standsrd tuning its just different frets but nice job 👍
Thanks men, your explanation helped me a lot to play this riff. Cheers from Montreal, Canada.
I love sweet child of mine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the song that made me want to play guitar !
Little wing for me :)
Jakob Björklund Also a great one !
By the way I never actually played Sweet Child of Mine . So I'll certainly be following this series.
In my case it started my singing lessons :)
Justin, I learned this song from you, like, 15 years ago. :-)
My dad used to be able to do just the intro as a kid on electric guitar. As a 15 year old girl with some sort of guitar knowledge from school, I just wanna learn the intro to impress him lol
You never want to be doing too much wonky bending
MJ Music you'll be ok if your knob is on 10 😁
The Les Paul really is the only guitar you can use for this song if you really wanna nail that neck pickup tone
why so?
Im 68 years of age and have just learned this riff for the first time - Thnx Justin. Now where can I get me some leather trousers?
This is it easiest song to learn how did you learn it after so many years 😂
@@dimitriosmalatches5522 Because there are other great songs aswell??
DUDE this was beyond the most helpful lesson !!! thank you !!!!!
Learned it and it only took 5 minutes🔥
Is it important to do the fingering exactly this way? I've learned the intro but using all four fingers (mainly cause when I first learned it I was even more of a guitar noob than I am now so my reach with my left hand fingers was rubbish 😅)
Wow thanks a lot.long time ago I’m just waiting of this video.Very very nice tutorial.
FYI to play this in proper tuning without tuning the guitar, play a fret lower. So instead of first note being at fret 12, have it at fret 11, do the same with all the other notes. Second set can be played with the ring finger for first note instead of pointer. :p
Hey Justin, could you do a lesson of The Strange Song from the great Leonard Cohen. I really love the song, but the fingerpicking is something else :)
My friend .really im learn hello from Monterrey México
This helped thx 👍
T and j Games his lesson on the outro wasn’t.
Great video Justin
ahh Man, so nice ... thank you very much, I have been learning so much with your videos, they are really awesome!
Thanks...
I like before I even see the video because I already know its gonna be great
Justin, I think it makes much more sense to pick DUUD UDUD. Or even more efficient DUUD UDUU. Please try and let me know your thoughts
I always have a fun time with your videos,keep it up,brilliant.
Bad ass!! Don't talk just let the guitar speak for u
Very nice! Can you show the similar riff or the pre-chorus "woah oh oh oh sweet chid of mine, sweet love of mine...." ?
coming up!
Hi Justin are you going to do all the parts to this song?
yep, well, almost all, not every layer of rhythm parts.
Brilliant thanks once again Justin.
Hey Justin great presentation as always! Great stuff man! When do you think you can do a lesson on Stevie Ray Vaughn's Pride and Joy, the electric version? Thanks..
when I can play it well ;)
Ok man, I understand. Sorry, alot of people tell me they can't hang with that song. They say"don't get me wrong, we love Stevie Ray Vaughn, but that song is very challenging to play. I just don't get that Texas Shuffle rhythm
it's harder to nail down than it first seems. I can kinda do it but it needs some hours in the 'shed!
great teaching and clear instructions...
I think it's awesome that Slash could play this *perfectly* when he was only 19 or whatever.
But then I think he didn't just play it at that age, he *wrote* it. How is that possible? It's not just how difficult it is, it's the musicality of it. At 19?!
My honest opinion is that he must be a genius. Or he had lessons.
He had lessons :) he was more around 21-22 tho at that time - and he said he was playing 12 hours a day (and his parents were around super famous musicians like Bowie or Harrison)
Thanks for clarifying the intro! 💪😎🤘
great lesson and great tone thank you justin!!! kemper !!!!!!!!!!! i wish i could have this tone with something on budget lol!
Justin, it was watching you're original tutorial that genuinely made me realise that these guitar riffs are "do-able" by us mere mortals and I almost mastered the entire song, except for when it speeds up into the Wah-Wah solo (which I believe is in fact impossible by mere mortals!).
Now you are telling us that we are even playing the intro wrong?! Haha! I of course write this tongue in cheek, but I seriously love you're tutorials, the best on UA-cam by far! and if you could teach us how to play "The Fast Bit" ascending to the "Wah-Wah" Solo, I would call you the God of Guitar Tutors (which to me of course you are anyway).
Another great Vid, thanks Justin
Yo justin. I am pleased to say how much you learned me... Can you please do November rain for us...
I always start this on an up-pick. Whatever suits I guess.
Lovely !! You made me cover this intro
Untuk kami , yg belajar music ini sangat membantu, kami trimakasih.
Thank you so much! I hope you do November rain one day
Hey Justin! Can you give us a tutorial for happiness is a warm gun? Love your stuff!
Man… Every single video I’ve watched on this beginning riff, EVERYONE speeds right through the most complicated part! “12 14 15second string back 12 to 14(…)! My mom says I’m special and I need to have it slower! Not just a sentence of numbers! 😂 pleeeze! …Still get a thumbs up from me for being out there, doing what you do and not wearing a fedora. ;)
Lol
@@urabura8896 are you laughing at my retched “special” needs?! …My REEport trigger finger has been itching for some time… I’m not only special, I’m sensitive! ;)
XD
Playing bass made me really start to favor upstrokes in my picking. No idea why
GREAT job, Justin! =)
That gold top 😍😍😍😍
thank you so much fo this lesson!!! cheers!!!
Don't apologize, there are many ways to always play a tune. Many artists play their own tunes different every time. You get it right way more than most
I was alternate picking this- the slash way is so much easier
thank you!! really good tutorial
Awesome
Thank you so much mate regulars acting proper
Tysm Texters
Thank ya so much dude Southerners
Great condolences for the tutorial which you applied us with SCIENTIFIC PEOPLE
Just analysed my picking and its DDUD DUDU.
same for me.
my picking is always DUDUDUDUDUDUDUDU is this bad
No, not bad mate, I would say whatever is most comfortable and flows best for you
ok then haha
Ian Woolley that is how I pick it too. Basically move in the direction of the string change.
Hey Justin could you plz do a vid of the tuning that would be great thx
Great stuff Justin. Any chance in the future of a Black Keys - Lonely boy lesson ?
