What a flashback learning this song like 30 years ago. I agree that Slash melodic solos are good but don´t forget Izzy Stradlin always very underrated. Nice goldtop by the way.

[tommyhardin]

Slash is one of my top five guitarists of all time. Like you said, he has great melodic solo's. This was a great lesson. This showed how well you can play. You are a very good teacher Justin. Your teaching style is very effective.

This is one of the songs I most want to learn and I just got my first Les Paul yesterday (still can’t believe it!)… Perfect timing ❤

[paulmiddleton]

One of my favourite songs ever. Learned to play the Bob Dylan version when I was younger. Started strumming again during lockdown after a 30 year break and taught myself to play it again. It’s now time time to put my shiny new Gibson to good use. Thanks for breaking down this epic cover Justin. You have just made my day 🤘

This is one of the first songs I learned on guitar, long before I learned the chords it's built around. Was truly an eye opener years later when I found out all these iconic riffs I had learned came from the same small handful of chords I hadn't taken the time to study. That's all it took for me to go from avoiding music theory like the plague, to being absolutely fascinated by it.

Hey Justin. Thank you for this awesome lesson. Please do some more GnR Songs.

[hunsawanthanabun]

What a great song! Great tutor! Thank you so much, Justin, for making this music accessible to anyone who wishes to learn it.

[stephenlouden]

[telekarma]

Pure nostalgia! This also reminds me I really want a gold top LP. Pretty much has been on my wishlist forever.

[youngbull]

Such a great 🎸 song! Thank you Justin for breaking it down!

[umpalumpa-qwru]

I started my guitar journey with you and now, a few years later, I'm pretty decent. Thank you, you're awesome.
One thing, that would be a nice to have, is how you get the guitar sound. So what effects you're using etc. Or an in depth video about pedals, how to get specific sounds etc.

[deepk]

Oh damn, once started learning the guitar with your lessons like 140 years ago, i can play that one meanwhile. BUT its well about time that you put this particular lesson up. Probably one of the best versions of this superb evergreen. Love it a TON! And love you too! 😍
