Hi GMC-ers!

This time I'll try to cover one of Slash's most famous guitar solos.

This is the first solo in "November Rain". It's around a minute long, and it has an incredible vibe to it. Technique-wise it is very simple, and Slash shows us how to do a solo in the "less-is-more" style. Only two scales are combined here, the A minor and the A pentatonic scale.

For this lesson the following techniques were used:

Bending
Vibratos
Slides
Hammer-ons
Pull-offs

I used the same tuning as Slash used, namely the guitar is tuned to Eb:
Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb.

This is only the first solo, the next two will follow shortly.

Have Fun!

-Zsolt
