Haha thanks very much, keep practising with a metronome and you'll get there! With that fast sequence in particular, building up strength and accuracy in the pinkie finger takes some time. If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing for over 20 years and I still didn't get it 100% right!
@JKEATING thank you so much🥹 But you seriously played it amazingly and I really hope to play it that well one day. One question though, do you know the speed of the metranome for the solo is, I can't seem to find the right one🤔
Thanks man, the guitar is in the right tuning, but I used the “emulated out” of my amp directly into my audio interface rather than mic’ing up the amp speaker. It’s thought to have a negative impact on the tone, but it means I can record silently and not get evicted for playing dozens of takes of sweet child o’ mine 😅
@@Ojas.K Funnily enough master of puppets is on my list, just haven’t got round to recording it yet because I’d like to do a full guitar/bass cover and it’s going to take ages.
Hey man, I love your content! I'm a beginner tryna learn the whole Sweet Child o' Mine, do you have any tips on how to improve the part where you switched to the bridge pickup?
Thanks man! That's quite the challenge for a beginner, but I would recommend slowing down the solo as much as possible so you can clearly hear each note and know which note falls on each beat, then practise it really slowly with a metronome until your fingers get used to it, and slowly increase the tempo on the metronome until you get to normal speed. Good luck!
@@jkeating7906amazing work man! Always wanted to ask, I’m able to play the riff consistently up till 150 bpm(quarter notes) after that m fingers cannot coordinate with my picking speed, been trying for hours now. Any tips?
@@samaramahajan8677 Thanks! Remember that since a lot of the notes in the solo are hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides, your picking hand doesn’t need to do much of the work. It’d be a good idea to focus on exactly which notes actually need to be picked and get the rhythm of that right. Hard to explain this clearly in a comment but I hope that helps in some way.
Haha you may be the first person to comment positively on the tone! My equipment list is in the description but I basically used the Ibanez ts9 to boost the Marshall on the red channel (gain down, volume up on the ts9) and had the wah pedal half cocked for the first half of the solo and rocked back and forth on it for the second half. Hope that helps!
I’m going to place most of the blame on the emulated out feature of my Marshall, and a little bit on general inexperience with recording audio at the time of making this video. Check out some of my more recent videos and you’ll hopefully notice an improvement.
