Tune down half a step as usual.

This solo uses a similar pattern all the way through. Moving up one fret
at a
time.

To start with the riff is played twice on each fret.

|---3--------3-----3--------3-----4--------4-----4--------4-----------------|
|----3------3-------3------3-------4------4-------4------4------------------|
|-5b--5--3h5-----5b--5--3h5-----6b--6--4h6-----6b--6--4h6-------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|---5--------5-----5--------5-----6--------6-----6--------6-----------------|
|----5------5-------5------5-------6------6-------6------6------------------|
|-7b--7--5h7-----7b--7--5h7-----8b--8--6h8-----8b--8--6h8-------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then the riff is played once on each fret.

|---7--------7------8----------8------9----------9-----10-----------10------|
|----7------7--------8--------8--------9--------9--------10--------10-------|
|-9b--9--7h9-----10b--10--8h10-----11b--11--9h11-----12b---12--10h12--------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then it becomes much easier.

|----11------12------13------14------15-------------------------------------|
|----11------12------13------14------15---------20--------------------------|
|-13b-----14b-----15b-----16b-----17b-----------19b-------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

b = bend
h = hammer on.

Tuning:

Tune half step down i guess... Like every GNR song!
**********

Here's 2 ways to play that great Slash riff:


Easiest way:

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------repeat!--------------------|
D--2----4--2--4--5----2----5--4----5-4-3-2------------------------------|
A--2----4--2--4--5----2----5--4----5-4-3-2------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

during the song you can play that pattern on higher frets or on the G, D
tings to make higher notes (like around time: 1:02).


this is a little harder, but for a heavier sound play:

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------repeat!--------------------|
D--2----4--2--4--5----2----5--4----5-4-3-2------------------------------|
A--2----4--2--4--5----2----5--4----5-4-3-2------------------------------|
E--0----2--0--2--3----0----3--2----3-2-1-0------------------------------|
