Notes

Live performance, late 1980s/early 1990s. Slash used his main Les Paul Standard with Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups into a Marshall JCM 800 2203 head and 4x12 cabinet. No evidence of additional amp models or guitars for the riff section. Settings are for live use. No studio layering or overdubs.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting at a high tempo, demanding precision and stamina, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
