Notes

Studio recording, 2012. For 'You're a Lie' (including solo), Slash used his Gibson Appetite Les Paul due to his Derrig Les Paul being in for repairs. Both Marshall AFD100 and JCM 800 heads were run simultaneously and blended. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo features fast alternate picking, expressive bends, and fluid legato runs that require advanced control and phrasing, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
