Notes
Studio recording, 1991 (Use Your Illusion sessions). For the solo section of 'Estranged', Slash used a 1959 Gibson Flying V into a Marshall 1959T Super Tremolo head. The Les Paul Goldtop was used for rhythm, not the solo. No evidence of live gear or alternate amps for the studio solo.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced control of bends, vibrato, and expressive phrasing, as well as coordination with wah and delay effects for the iconic lead sound.
