Hey guys! Please excuse my playing here. This is my very first record and attempt to play with a backing track after I've learned the song Sweet Child O' Mine. It's not like the original, some parts are improvised (esp the solo), and there were mistakes. But hopefully it's not that bad. Please leave a nice comment and click like or subscribe to my channel on Youtube if you like it~ Thank You :-)

BTW. I know some people might think why am I playing this song with a Fender Strat and not a Gibson Les Paul? But please forgive me if the tone is bad. I only have Fender Strat and I really love this song... Cheers!

Guitar: Fender 57 Reissue Strat Maple Neck MIJ Since 1993
Amp: Roland Micro Cube

Hey, Jimmy! Great job. Good sound.
Was that a backing track with actual GNR minus Slash's guitar parts?

Ah, you're apologizing about using a Strat instead of a LP and about the Strat tone being bad?!?!? On the Strat forum?!?! :shock:

Been nice knowing you while you were a member here :lol: :x

Nice job, btw.

You had that Roland "dialed in".
IMHO, I believe that matching the original song to the micron is OK,
but getting soul and feelings makes a better impact.
Just make it recognizable with your own flair.

EXACTLY the same each time??? No.

Thanks guys!!! At some point I was actually worried about some people would just assume the tone is bad since I'm playing the song with a strat and not a les paul. But I love my Strat more than anything! I'm glad it didn't disappoint me haha XD
