The Best Guns N' Roses Guitar Solos

Guns N' Roses dragged late-'80s hard rock back toward the blues, and Slash's singing Les Paul lines became the decade's most hummable lead guitar. His solos balance melody, swagger and pentatonic fire, which is why so many of them are learned note-for-note by beginners and pros alike.
