I suggest everyone who watches this go to guitar center and play the intro for an hour straight. The employee's and customers will love you!

I’m gonna go impress everyone at Guitar Center now

I was donated an electric guitar in mint condition a couple years ago, yesterday I was thinking about throwing it away but I loved guns and roses so I tried to play a song, I got lost in your video but I used some of the notes and figured out on my own from there how to play the rift, and I fell in love with my guitar, thanks dude

I just played this in front of audience. Those cats seem speechless.

I've gone 25 years avoiding learning this riff--until TODAY! Thank you for this!!

I can’t wait to play this and stairway to heaven at guitar center to impress everyone

1:17 your pinky hasn’t got an allocated job so just dances instead 😂

Thanks for this. Numbed my fingers starting to learn this last night. Lost myself for more than an hour getting in to it. It's exactly the sort of thing that'll keep a beginner like me really interested. Strumming away on chords and learning them is fine as part of the ground work but I find getting a tune out of the guitar far more likely to keep me at it.

keep practice it,play it slow at first until you didn't miss a note and slowly become faster,if you always miss a note at some part,just replay it over and over again,i hope it helps,that's what i do btw if you keep practicing it,you'll find out this song is not that hard :)

@MAdamStewartVideo Hey, it is the same EJ strat but I just change out the pickups. These lessons were all done at different times and I might have had the original single coils or the Dimarzio's in depending on when it was filmed. Thanks for watching! :)

I've already driven my family nuts in less than ten minutes!

I'm planning on playing this poorly 10 times in a row at Guitar Center!

Love the tutorials. When I first started playing this, I didn’t realize it, but Slash was a genius how he put this together. Simply put It is playing a box scale pattern. We didn’t have KZfaq back then, yeah yeah I’m old, and the snippets from the music video wasn’t much help. I learned how to play this intro with aaaaLot of movement on the fretboard to different positions, which looked cool 😎, but never really hit each note correctly. It was close enough for a bar band playing to a crowd of “happily” oiled patrons. They never noticed the difference, we were the only ones who knew. The drunker they got, the better we sounded! 😂

I would like to mention that if you don't feel like down-tuning to play with the recording, you can play the whole thing half a step down (e.g. fret 12 would become fret 11, fret 14 becomes fret 13, etc). It's personally very convenient for me since I don't like messing with my tuning too much.

Thank-you for doing tutorials in standard tuning!!!! nothing annoys me more than looking for a tutorial to learn a bit of a song i can't quite get from tab, and having to detune my guitar just to have a look at the tutorial - far easier to explain at the beginning that its played detuned but the tutorial is standard tuning!!!!!!!!

i bet this is hard to play in front of 80,000 people

My Fingers have lost their minds.

I'm beginner but I can play this riffs, thanks to you.

I remember being given a very bad tab to this intro, and just giving up then coming back and spending about an hour and a half learning it by ear, and getting the timing to match the drums. I was so proud of that because it was the day after I got an electric guitar such fond memories.

I’m learning one of my dads favorite songs on guitar. I hope he is gonna be happy with it

Every guitar lesson on youtube should start like this. With the correct tuning. Thank you!

This is the first song I ever learned. With a $100 first act guitar from Toys R’ Us. I’m 24 now and when I learned this I was probably 11 lol. Crazy how times flies!

I wish youtube recommended me this channel 8 years ago when I actually wanted to play, it would have immensely encouraged me. U make everything seem easy

He does it slow enough to lean omg finally someone who understands guitar know to take it slow I highly recommend this guy big time

It's so overplayed I'm almost afraid to play it lol

I absolutely LOVE the variety on this channel! It's beautiful and such high quality lessons! I am eternally grateful! I'm waiting to get my first guitar this month and I can barely wait to follow along your lessons! If you could, please do more Rory Gallagher and Stevie Ray Vaughan if you could. Thank you and God bless you 😊.

Currently learning the acoustic guitar, this song makes me want to pick up the electric guitar and absolutely shred. Respect to all my guitarists out there. It takes such discipline and dedication to play well.

I'm gonna LOVE learning this!! So excited!! :)

You're an excellent player and teacher..... Nice job!!

It's not too hard. Grab the tabs for the song. Watch the first cycle of movements, look at the tab, and don't move on without mastering that part, and so on. Really goes for any song. You're going to screw it up. Just keep playing :) If you're a beginner go start with something simpler and work your way up to this.

Thanks dude, now my friends who don’t understand nothing about guitar will think I’m a god

2023 baby. Ur videos still live forever n fucken ever

“I had a brain spasm there” - I felt that

Omg, I would love to just play this song before I die. Not a clue what I would be doing, but it would just feel awesome! ❤️

I love your method with the split screen and simplicity. Very well presented. Thank you for your instruction.

thank you very much Carl for your time and effort in making this wonderful lesson. I'm forever grateful!

thanks now I can play my moms ringtone one the guitar

it is easy for me to understand fully what you did so great lesson

I was learning it through tabs and was scared it wasn’t the correct way to play it so I searched it and saw this, it helped me with playing it faster since I just started playing 3 days ago. Now I’ve impressed a lot of people (besides my cousin who has played for 6+ years) but overall thanks!!

I JAMMED THIS WITH MY FRIEND AND IT WAS SOOO LEGENDRY

was learning this song when I first started playing guitar but couldn't I watched your video and know I can play it perfect ty I'm gonna watch the rest to learn this wanna play it for my daughter when shes old enough to enjoy it

Dude u r awesome. Thank you for the lessons, i really appreciate that

i can quite play it but i often make little mistakes and i dont think my fingers move like that...

Thank you Carl brown I am 10 years old and I watch a lot of your videos And you inspired me to make my own KZfaq guitar lesson Channel 👍👍👍

thanks for the great tutorial sir

Those high notes makes me feel funny inside

Such a beautiful thing... Thank you slash for creating this...♥️ And also thanks for this beautiful tutorial... Never thought I could do this... Now I can

Holy crap no kidding I’ve already learned the first part in like 5 mins. No bragging, I’m just saying that this channel is sick.

came to this thinkin i was gonna learn lol, realized i should probably learn how to play guitar first, or maybe buy a guitar, or have a basic understanding of music. whoops lol

I wish I had a guitar to try this :')

This is why I've feeling u ever since I began playing 10 years ago.

this intro was actually used by Slash (Gun n Roses's Guitarist) for string skipping exercise, so its very valuable for routine playing.

I've found a easier fingering to use. Just bar the 12th fret for the into play 14 fret with middle finger and 15 fret with ring finger. Except for end part which is middle finger on 14 fret g string and play everything else apart from 12 fret with ring finger

When I get a guitar and I master it I’m going to play it at my school infront of everyone

Your channel is a blessing. please don't ever leave

Damn, my juvenile brain cracks me up every time he says 'G string'!!

Thank you sooo much!! This was one of my favourite riffs of all time and now I can play it! :D Thanks!

when you play the basic chord notes - u use the first finger to play the 14th fret (2nd chord C) - why not use the second finger ?

perfect channel in the world.

Hello!! This video even after nine years it's still useful!! Congratulations! Does anybody know the amp settings to play this song?

Hey @guitarlessons365 were you an extra in FRIENDS series 8 episode 5? I swear I can see you behind phoebe at 5mins and 39 seconds into it...

Ah, the good ol' times :)

Yessssss i finally got it!!! I’ve been wanting to play this for a long time 😁

This song will never get old

Put 0.25x instead of normal speed and this tutorial will be perfect.

My dad loves this song and has it as his ringtone so I’m gonna surprise him with this awesome song 🤟🤟

That’s awesome man. I’ve always wanted to know how to play that. Now I know! Still can’t play it that good but hopefully with practice I’ll get it.

I am gonna love to learn this😍😍 Take love from Bangladesh...

Can you keep it in standard tuning and just move everything down one fret?

Thank you so much 👌👌👌👌

GL365 .....the best accurate lessons today ! I learned the proper way to finger this lick thanks to you...Always wanted to learn that part to get the song started. You make it more tolerable to want to learn old and new songs Thank You for your efforts !

That's REALLY good. Sound is so accurate at first I thought you were playing silent to actual recording. What wah pedal and distortion do you use?

GuitarLessons365Song what peddles do you recommend? And what would be a good starting place for amp settings?

Bookmarking 6:13

excellent lesson the 976 ppl who gave this a thumbs down are ppl who don't take time to learn anything in life ..thank u for this vid

Thabkyou so much for this turtorial! Never played shit now I have a place to start. Starting is 50 percent the problem...now here I goooooo! Tha kyou

What setting do u use on ur amp??

when i try this it sounds like 2 cats fighting over pooing rights in my garden....

God Bless You for doing this ten years ago. I sincerely hope you made pots of money :)

i get 2 song from this channel sweet child o mine and california cation . i played 1 song per 1 week . soo this is better than iam paying

am i the only one who plays with out pick and just uses my thumb? it seems to work but m dad says its incorrect. picks are just so hard

How many times do u repeat the intro before the verse? :)

I read somewhere that Slash came up with this as a string-skipping exercise, so that's how I use it. I seriously doubt I'll ever play this in public, but I'm still having fun with it.

What settings do you have for that sound ???? Love your guitar pick ups What brand are they?

what did u buy to make your guitar sound like that?

does it sound better with a les paul?

Thanks a lot. I started by playing this lesson on my Yamaha Acoustica, and now practice on my acoustic. Both sound great on Standard tuning!

This channel is awesome learning so much . Rock on CARL

bro would make video about how to change tune to half step down or whole step down without a tuner?

Is it just me or when i learn the song it sounds out of tune cuz im a half step down

Helped me a ton!

Thanks again for another great video. It's a stretch for me on my acoustic but in getting the epiphone special II slash afd soon so I'll be prepared.

For some reason, I always think that this solo sounds like an ambulance.😅

can i do exactly on acoustic?

Thank you. Very nicely done. You are an excellent teacher.

Very structured!

Too fast man

impossible, like seriously

This guy is too good at explaining stuff

Love you man you just helped me learn my favourite song... LITERALLY THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
