Notes

Live performance, post-2014 (World On Fire tour era). All evidence points to Slash using his signature Les Paul with APH-2 pickups and his Marshall Silver Jubilee head for live riff sections. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff. Studio versions sometimes used Kris Derrig Les Paul replica, but live is always Les Paul signature. Effects are minimal for riff; overdrive/distortion from amp, wah and delay reserved for solos. No evidence of Tube Screamer or other drive pedals for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking with precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy, as well as some string skipping and position shifts, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
