Notes
Studio recording, 1990-1991. Used for the 'Use Your Illusion I' album. Clean sections likely used the same Les Paul and Marshall amp, with amp set for low gain and possible use of outboard digital reverb/delay. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean solo sections.

Difficulty
The clean solo requires intermediate technique, with a focus on expressive bends, smooth legato, and dynamic control to maintain a clean, singing tone.
