Notes

Studio recording, 2012. Slash used his Kris Derrig Les Paul replica and/or Custom Shop 'Inspired By' Les Paul with signature Alnico II Pro pickups, running into a Marshall AFD100 and a JCM 800 #39 head, both blended together. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; straight into amp. Settings estimated based on classic Slash tones and genre. Pickup selector likely bridge for main riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, tight alternate picking, and control of articulation at a moderate tempo. The Eb tuning and syncopated rhythm add to the challenge, making it intermediate to advanced for most players.
