Main Riff (No slide, Bridge Pickup, Distortion)
*Now for live performances, which I've seen front row, Slash wears his slide on his ring
for the whole song. In the music video you can see him at this point throw his slide up
the air and switch to playing it with his fingers. If you choose to play it with the 
then just play the intro again with distortion. I prefer it without because it sounds
little more aggressive.

Verse/chords parts (no slide, neck pickup, clean)
*It’s pretty tough to play this part (mainly Part III) if you keep the slide on your
but from what I’ve seen myself and on videos, he just sucks it up and stretches. Must be
he’s the best and I’m not.

Killer Song by Slash that not a lot of people know very well. I noticed there is
no good tabs for this song on the internet so I hope this helps a lot of people. I put a 
of
into it, so let me know if you see anything that I’m not.
