Lockdown licks no. 3 is here!

“Sweet Child of Mine” 1987 by Guns and Roses.

The mesmeric opening ‘pedal tone’ part of the riff

played by Slash had us all reaching for our air guitars!

The story goes that Slash came up with the riff when he was playing around on his guitar. He thought it was silly and wanted nothing to do with it, but Axl loved it and had him keep playing it. Izzy Stradlin added some chords, and the song came together!!
