Notes
Live performance, early-to-mid 1990s; Slash's main clean tone for this song is from the Les Paul neck pickup into a Marshall Silver Jubilee. Clean section uses guitar volume rolled back for clarity. No explicit pedal evidence for clean part; chorus sometimes used by rhythm guitarist (not Slash).
Tone Character(10)

Difficulty
The clean riff section is easy to play, using basic chords and strumming, but requires careful control of guitar volume/tone knobs and dynamics to match the live clean tone.
