Sweet Child 'O Mine - Guns 'N' Roses [CHORUS RIFF]Justinguitar.com Song Lessons |
This Chorus riff seems to get brushed over a lot but you can't play the song through without it! It is a little tricky but nothing compared to the main solo - so get it under your fingers :)

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.
