Notes

Studio recording, 1987, Appetite for Destruction sessions. The clean riff section is the intro/verse. Guitar plugged into Channel 1 top input of the Marshall. No evidence of pedal overdrive/distortion for the clean riff. Effects are primarily rack-based or amp-based. Pickup selector: bridge pickup for riff. See sources for details.

Difficulty

The intro/verse riff requires accurate string skipping, alternate picking, and clean articulation to maintain clarity and chime, making it challenging for intermediate players.
