Hard Skool

Hi everyone. Just wanted to added some quick notes about the song!

When I’m picking things out note for note, It’s can be easy to get the notes correct but the positions wrong. There’s not many live videos posted of this song especially where someone is up in the front row with their cameras pointed directly at Slash’s fingers. So I had to kind of scope it out from a distance and I believe I have these positions correct. We’ll know for sure in the coming weeks/months when more videos surface. Or if there’s one out already and it slipped through the cracks.

Verse riffs: C5-B5-A5. After the A5 chord, I’ve seen people play the G note 3rd fret 6th string. Then back to A5. But instead of the G note, I have x’s there. I’m not hearing the G note in the mix. Especially when I slow it down. Sometimes I hear Fortus playing it. If you wanna throw that in however, go for it. I think it sounds cool either way.

I had this video completely finished and realized afterwards I messed up a chord in the chorus. So I fixed it and revised it. Thankfully I caught on to it. Originally, I had played a G5 chord as the second last chord in the chorus. But realized Slash is actually playing a D5. Fortus however is playing G5, Duff is playing G. Which altogether gives a Gsus2 kind of sound.

Enjoy! I like this song which sounds like a Classic GN’R tune. And I’m an old school Guns kind of guy. I’ll aim for Rocket Queen next!
