Nightrain Solo Post
Final Part
The final part that I need to learn for the nightrain guitar solo is the very fast bluesy licks that are played as the song fades out. However, live Guns n Roses used to play a slightly different ending that involved finishing the bar that fades out and ending on an A major chord.  The licks all use notes from the A minor pentatonic scale in the 5 position with some major notes added to flare the solo up. The licks also move up the fret board the 1st position starting on the 17th fret of the low e string. The licks involve lots of fast bends mainly on the 15th and 20th frets of the b string with lots of hammer ons and pull offs to build speed around the licks using the notes from the pentatonic scale. I will use tabs to learn the lyrics and use a metronome to help me increase my playing speed. 
This part is important to the song as it is a very recognizable part of the song due to the speed it is played out.
This should take me around a few days to learn just to build up the speed and be able to play at the original speed.
