Album: UYI 1 & 2
Transcribed by: slashjunior
It is quite a complex song with two guitars, you can play just guitar 1 parts
in the chorus and verse then play the solo but it won't sound as good.
I have used the key:
(1) - Guitar 1 (Izzy)
(2) - Guitar 2 (Slash)
Tuning - Drop 1/2 a step
This took me ages to work out like changing the balances on the speakers to
get the different guitar parts. Well it sounded pretty good to me and this is
how me and my band play it, and it sounds accurate.
Am Dm G Csus2 G/B
