Looks like places west of where I live. It is just like here, except we have grass, and trees, and no mountains. Other than that, just like here. You see a lot of churches like that, often abandoned, sometimes converted to houses. I would like a house made from an old church, some guy has one a few blocks away from me, pretty neat.

And Slash sure has a long cord. Not only that, it is an invisible cord. Must cost a lot.

I like Slash a lot, he has made serious contributions in his career.

I will give you a hint,it's in B major key,try to learn it by ear if possible,I did,long ago.

And that solo is really beutiful!!

Yeah it is much better to start learning by ear early on along with your theory practice. Rather than just learning the scales on guitar try and hear the scales and spot the different intervals.

Majestic. Slash composed some of the most beautiful solos that I know.

Check Estranged if you don't know it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YmwJpnor6o

I love the solo in that song.

It's actually a very easy solo to figure out. The fast bits are a bit awkward, but if you can slow the track down in your MP3 playing software, I'm sure you can figure it out. There are plenty of tabs around online as well.

My favourite Guns and Roses song by a long way

Posted by: Pi38 Apr 18 2008, 02:23 PM

Not Sweet Child O' Mine, or Paradise City?

Posted by: Iluha Apr 18 2008, 04:34 PM

I agree, even though they have plenty of incredible songs.. Estranged is the best in my opinion!

If you're looking to break into learning Slash's solos I would highly suggest starting with Knockin on Heavens Door, or Don't Cry. Both will give you a great idea of the licks and structure of most of his famous solos.

try to down load it as a GP5 file

i think Paradise City was a masterpiece. It is one of those songs that got associated with a particular video that got played all the time, and when that happens people sometimes overlook how good a song that really was. If you listen to Slash on that, well there is a lot there.

One of my favourite solos!!

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Apr 20 2008, 06:00 PM

I love that song. One of the best GNR songs ever made, and one of the greatest guitar solos ever written in my opinion.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Apr 20 2008, 06:21 PM

yes, I love many of Slash's solos in GNR but I see Estranged as an awesome masterpiece. The guitar work and solos are incredible.

Posted by: Maximus Apr 20 2008, 06:24 PM

Great solo. The church was built for the purpose of the video. I remember seeing a MTV news bit about it back when the video first came out.

Posted by: Gus Apr 21 2008, 10:28 PM

Hey man. That is for me the best solo ever. It is so good when Slash steps up in the piano (in the video)

This song is so perfect...

If you have problems getting solos by ear (like me) I will give you 2 advices
1) Buy the Guns N' Roses Complete (2 volumes) songbook from Cherry Lane Music. I have it, and it is really pretty accurate.
2) Buy guitar pro software and search for 5 stars tabs in ultimate guitar

yeah Slash haw style,and it is so cool...but that guys LP costume is beautiful

Posted by: Old School Rocker Apr 22 2008, 06:37 PM

I love the November Rain Solo, but i still think Estranged solo is better.

1.Estranged Solo
2.Sweet Child o' Mine & November Rain i cant decide there both amazing
3.Dont Cry
4.Civil War
5.Patience (yep patience, I dont think it gets the credit it deserves)

Slash's solos are all incredible but i find they've gone downhill since VR i dont care for them mabey its just cause the Lead singers vocals turn me right off....

Posted by: Danilo Capezzuto Apr 22 2008, 08:17 PM

Slash is an incredible guitarist. This solo is amazing and...what a bends!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 23 2008, 11:36 PM

I love Slash solos !! They are all so beautiful and melodic..No wonder he's a legend!

Posted by: PolackHax0r Apr 23 2008, 11:59 PM

I love playing the solo to November Rain! it's really not that difficult at all. If I can play it... man, it must be easy!!

Posted by: Pablo Vazquez Apr 26 2008, 10:26 PM

Who'll be the first to make "In the Style of Slash" lesson???
