Slash: "Sweet child o'mine" era uno scherzo... Stavo seduto vicino agli altri, facevo le facce buffe come un idiota , suonando questi riffs. Izzy ha cominciato a suonare gli accordi che suonavo io ma strimpellandoli e improvvisamente il suono è piaciuto ad Axel. A me all'inizio non piaceva per niente la canzone, sembrava stupida...(risata). Odiavo la parte della chitarra. Adesso mi piace veramente perchè il suono è realmente bello quando la faccio dal vivo, sono abituato e mi piace molto di più... "

While the name "Guns N' Roses" was actually created by combining the ends of titles from singer Axl Rose's former bands L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose, it turns out that the name serves as an accurate depiction of the artistic contrasts which saturate much of the band's music. This is especially obvious in the guitar playing: raging power chord riffs and piercing solos are often countered by soulful slide guitar playing or other emotionally-moving guitar melodies. It is this exotic combination of raw energy and melody that is responsible not only for the band's highly successful career, but also for providing the catalyst for the population explosion of L.A. Heavy metal bands in the mid 1980s. With scores of bands having since attempted to emulate the successful sound of Guns N' Roses, there can be no doubt that the band has left their mark on the history of rock music for all time. Guns N' Roses' highly popularized success spawned literally scores of interviews through the form of radio, television, and magazine articles. Unfortunately for guitar-playing admirers, most of these interviews almost always ended up fixating on the band's outrageous stage antics or latest tale of debauchery, rather than focusing on what made them popular in the first place-their music! With controversy and gossip set aside, this book not only attempts to explore the band's distinctive sound, but also serves to help the reader become a better, more proficient guitarist through studying and performing the music of Guns N' Roses. The Guns N' Roses Signature Licks book and accompanying recording effectively serves as an interactive, "hands-on" learning tool with which to study and examine some of Guns N' Roses' best music. Transcription excerpts within the book feature some of the band's more significant and memorable riffs and solos off of selected tracks from Guns N' Roses' four albums. Performance notes are included for each example, and all of the excerpts also appear in audio form on the book's accompanying CD or cassette recording. This not only lets you hear the guitar in context, but allows you to more effectively practice the guitar parts in an ensemble setting. When first listening to the recording, you'll notice the lead or main guitar part is featured in the right channel while the rhythm section is heard in the left channel. This set-up allows you to alter the mix of the music with your stereo's balance control so you can practice with the recording in one of the three following ways:

1. You could leave the balance control in the middle to hear the riff in context with all the instruments,

2. or 2. pan the stereo's balance to the right to more clearly hear the featured guitar part, or

3. pan the balance to the left to allow for rehearsal with just the rhythm section.

By taking full advantage of the described study methods, you should be able to learn the songs more easily and prepare them for a live performance. Editorial Note: The Guns N' Roses Signature Licks book and recording is primarily designed to help you learn and prepare selected G N' R songs for a live performance. Complete, note-for-note transcriptions for the entire Guns N' Roses catalog are available in several folios also distributed by Hal Leonard Publishing.

GUNS N' ROSES

Introdudion
Hard rock hasn't been the same since Guns N' Roses made their impact last year. In a
decade dominated by over-produced power pop, extremely stylized glam metal and synthesizerladen
new wave, the Gunners have broken every rule-returning to the essence and core of rock
'n' roll itself. With their well-turned blues riffs or their solid rhythm grooves or the inescapable
emotion lurking in every track, they are irreverent, inconsistent and uncompromising, but
irresistible, incalculable and unavoidable. However, like their predecessors-The Stones, The
Who, Aerosmith and AC/DC, they have transcended the role of music-maker/trend setter to
become the most visible and most compelling voice of youth, rebellion and counterculture
lifestyle. They have become a phenomenon to be experienced, not just sounds to be heard--a
necessary prerequisite for rock 'n' roll greatness.
Hard rock hasn't been the same in Los Angeles since Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction
attained multi-platinum status. Their blues-based compactness, simplicity and riff-oriented nononsense
songwriting approach have spearheaded a movement towards the rock of the 90's.
The signings of Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns (at one time, half of Guns N' Roses), Jet Boy and
even Jane's Addiction indicate a perceptible industry response to the phenomena. Like the
attention accorded to post-Van Halen bands (Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Ratt and Dokken) in the
early 80's or the fascination with everything English following the Beatles' arrival in the 60's, the
focus these days is on the music pouring out of the underground street scene in Hollywood.
Hard rock won't be the same now that Guns N' Roses have released Lies in 1988. The LP
combines the early independent set Live Like a Suicide (1986) with newer tracks recorded in
1988. The contrast of the high-energy punk-cum-metal mood of the Live ... cuts with the gentler
informal acoustic moments is typical of Guns N' Roses: surprising, unusual, striking ... and never
boring. In their unmistakable iconoclastic fashion, they have echoed the individualistic intentions
of their forebears-The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, The Who. Led Zeppelin. They operate
without the restraint imposed by cliche formulas, and succeed in presenting an authentic glimpse
of their musical world ... they are real. The true aficionado of rock will appreciate, indeed relish,
every subtle nuance of their performance-which hasn't been punched in, cleaned up, tweaked or
edited out.
The Live ... tracks, "Reckless Life," "Nice Boys," "Move to the City" and "Mama Kin," capture
the sort of excitement Guns N' Roses produce on stage. These are sounds which got the band
noticed in the competitive and overcrowded L.A. club circuit. The eclectic blues/rock-metal-punk

element runs through each song as a unifying thread-an element clearly recognized now as
Guns N' Roses' style. Check out the heavy riff of "Reckless Life" (Rhy. Fig. 1) which rivals the
output of AC/DC, or the blazing intensity of the song's guitar solo with its odd modal mixtures (B
Mixolydian and B major penatonic versus B blues and B Dorian). The notes blur the major/minor
relationship and defy categorization. Another point of musical interest in the Live ... tunes is the
singular chemistry between Slash and Izzy resulting in that elusive, loose-but-tight, two-guitar
interaction. This type of interaction is what also distinguishes some of the best work of The
Stones and Aerosmith. Evident throughout Guns N' Roses repertoire, a definitive example of this
rapport can be heard in "Move to the City." Here, the two guitars are foils for each otherconverging
and diverging with overlapped and contrasting riff figures of double stops, diad bends,
single-note phrases (as in the verse figures) and muted lines. The use of wah-wah pedal in the
solo is characteristic of the sparse but effective processing of Guns N' Roses' guitar sound. Note
also the gutsy slide guitar employed in "Nice Boys" and the tremolo bar phrasing in "Reckless
Life" (Solo) and "Move to the City" (Solo). The slide guitar has remained a staple in Slash's style
("Welcome to the Jungle" and "Rocket Queen," for example) but the tremolo bar is gone-Slash
swears by stock Gibson Les Pauls.
The remaining four numbers, "Patience," "Used To Love Her," "You're Crazy" and "One in a
Million," might be described as Guns N' Roses' answer to Rubber Soul (The Beatles) or Beggar's
Banquet (The Stones). The setting is distinguished by a shift to an acoustic guitar-based texture
and the mood is almost folksy country-rock. This is in stark opposition to the relentless hard rock
of the Live ... tracks. There is overt acknowledgement of the acoustic guitar motor-drive rhythm
playing of Pete Townshend and Keith Richards, as well as coy references to the music of The
Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The guitar orchestration of
"You're Crazy" (compare this version to the faster punk-inflected rendition on Appetite for
Destruction) and "One in a Million" combines electric- and acoustic- guitar timbres skillfully. In the
former, a clean twangy electric tone is blended with the brisk acoustic strumming (largely a
propulsive sixteenth-note groove) of the rhythm guitar, and in the latter, a distorted electric guitar
provides the driving rock 'n' roll background part, with the acoustic guitar taking the solo spot.
"Patience" (a genuine rock ballad) explores the signature two-guitar interaction with purely
acoustic colors and offers a melodic country-blues flavored acoustic solo (a la Joe Walsh). "Used
To Love Her" (a tongue-in-cheek sardonic "modern folk song") tastefully joins electric (clean tone)
and acoustic rhythm-guitar work with a gutsy "chicken pick in'" approach in the overdubbed
acoustic solo lines. This solo seems to have more in common with Albert Lee, Roy Flacke or
Jerry Reed than Angus Young, Joe Perry or Jimmy Page.
Hard rock hasn't been the same since Guns N' Roses ... but it has been alive and well.
