Sweet Child 'O Mine - Guns 'N' Roses [SOLO 1]Justinguitar.com Lessons on Classic Guitar Solos |
This first solo in Sweet Child O Mine is really nice and the only hard bit really is nailing the bends at the end which can be pretty tricky! Hope you're digging this series - more coming soon!

Getting the Sound
Guitar
1979 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top - neck pickup!
Amp
Kemper Profiler running Top Jimi's AFD 100 profile.
You want to go for a Marshall type amp for this and don't overdo the gain! Settings wise, set everything to 12 o'clock and then you probably want to take out a little mid but otherwise you just need to ride (explore) the gain to get the right amount - it'll be different on every amp so I can't say how much for your exact amp!
Effects
Just a little reverb from the Stymon Big Sky.
