This is my cover of one of my favourite GnR songs from the Appetite for Destruction.
I made the backing track myself using a midi file (bass and drums) as base. I changed some details in the midi file, fixed some mistakes it had (on drums mostly), and then I converted the midi files (drums and bass separated) to mp3.
The song was written by Izzy Stradlin, thats why he plays the guitar solo in this song.
As you know, talking about the guitar work, this song has the classic GnR structure: Slash on the right channel of the audio playing rhythm, Izzy on the left channel playing rhythm, and Slash appears from time to time on the center of the audio playing licks, intro lead, outro lead, solos, etc.
So about my arrangement, I mixed both guitar parts played by Slash, so it can be played on a single guitar (which you hear on the right channel of my video), and Izzy stays as it is on the original song (Izzy is always easy to cover when it comes to guitar parts, cuz most times theres just 1guitar played by Izzy in GnR songs), and you can hear this guitar on the left channel of my video.
There are a couple of licks that are located on the verses, they show up on a 3rd guitar (These licks are also played by Slash, but they couldnt fit on the "Slash arrangement for one guitar" that I made, it just didnt sound good, so I recorded them on a 3rd guitar).
And also, during the choruses, theres an acoustic guitar played by Slash, I recorded this part with my stratocaster using "acoustic guitar" effect.
Thanks for watching!
