One month challenge day 1: Sweet Child O Mine

So, this is my starting point for the one month challenge. This song (the iconic intro riff in particular) has been a picking exercise for me in my early days of guitar playing (last year xD), NOW it is time to get more serious.

My goals for the one month challenge are:
1) Tighten everything up, add details. Slash doesn't actually just strum the rhythm in the verses, he is playing a couple of interesting picking patterns, that I need to learn and implement... and of course make everything clean and tidy. :)

2) You will notice that the highlight of the song is still missing... the two main solos. Just learning the notes will be doable in way less than a month, but getting the fast parts up to speed and NAILING the phrasing in the melodic parts... That will keep me busy for more than 1 month, but I will try my best to get as far as possible. :)
Nice to see video of year ago and now and looking forward to see how it is in 1 month!
(i still play the song like you did a year ago :))

Congratulations dude. It's amazing. It's difficult, but not impossible. Never surrender and keep playing.
