    I love how this video tells you witch fingers go on what string and on what fret unlike most videos where it just says like chords because I’m a beginner and this is a good video

    Justin. Brian from Sydney here. Your teaching style is amazing and you've brought from never having picked up a guitar in April this year to being able to play 10-12 songs end-to-end. Thank you so much. I've spent so much time watching your videos I feel like I know you so well. Thanks again and keep them coming.

    I give you a ton of credit for admitting that your earlier effort wasn't quite right, and then taking the time to do a very accurate version. The attention to detail is greatly appreciated!

    Watch guitar tutorials upside down. It becomes easier to view finger positioning since the view would be the way you would normally look down at a guitar👍👌

  • @thomasnonsense
    @thomasnonsense 8 лет назад +7

    Thanks for the tutorial, Justin. Great, as per usual! I've never been a fan of GnR or Slash, although I guess it's much better to just play it if someone asks if I know how to play it rather than look like a goose when I say that I don't have a clue! For me, it's actually easier to stick to the alternate picking because that's the way I'm used to playing. However, it's very nice of you to study it closely enough to break it into up and down strokes based on what Slash does. Excellent job!!

  • @robertcute164
    @robertcute164 7 лет назад +2

    I remember your original video of this tutorial. Very first one I ever tried learning, even if it was on an acoustic guitar back in '08. In fact, I think the original video of this is the first video I ever watched of yours along with Stairway. My how time flies. Thank you for the tutorials through all these years!

  • @TheSkinner1978
    @TheSkinner1978 8 лет назад +5

    I learnt to play this from the first lessons you did but always used the same fingering as you show in this new version as I personally found it more comfortable. I always thought I was doing it wrong but it was the only way I could play it!! Great lesson and now looking forward to the rest as I've since forgotten exactly how to play some of the other riffs. Cheers :)

That said, really looking forward to the videos! There's that one run he does, crazy ascending run that everyone gets wrong! Great channel, best of it's kind!!!

    Justin, it was watching you're original tutorial that genuinely made me realise that these guitar riffs are "do-able" by us mere mortals and I almost mastered the entire song, except for when it speeds up into the Wah-Wah solo (which I believe is in fact impossible by mere mortals!).
    Now you are telling us that we are even playing the intro wrong?! Haha! I of course write this tongue in cheek, but I seriously love you're tutorials, the best on RUclips by far! and if you could teach us how to play "The Fast Bit" ascending to the "Wah-Wah" Solo, I would call you the God of Guitar Tutors (which to me of course you are anyway).
    Another great Vid, thanks Justin

    FYI to play this in proper tuning without tuning the guitar, play a fret lower. So instead of first note being at fret 12, have it at fret 11, do the same with all the other notes. Second set can be played with the ring finger for first note instead of pointer. :p
