I remember reading a while ago a few people asking wether the Mules do a Slash tone well so I decided to record me doing a bit of Sweet Child O Mine. The chorus bits were on the bridge Mule, and the rest was neck Mule. Tone isnt an exact likeness but its kinda close to my ears, maybe A2 version would be closer for the distinctive tone, maybe more gain aswell? .. anyway I rambled, heres the damn clip :P

Oh yeah and it was the same old Epi LP into V-Amp 2 set on JCM800 patch (what else?! :)).

I cant do the main one, partly because I'm lazy, partly because I find it hard to remember how long solos go (I lose track), and partly because I'm not good enough :D

Yeah when I think about it, its only the fast widdly wah bit thats actually difficult to play, but I find learning long solos that are recognizable hard to learn note for note or whatever.

that bit on its own is quite simple, but once i start adding the wah i usually get confused

Do you find learning solos note for note takes the feel out of it? I.E 'cos it was someone elses solo? I was chatting to my mate who plays in a big Zepp Tribute about this and he said just keep some of it in that context and go off on one in other parts but keep the vibe, groove, feel ect going to make it all fit.

i do that if i can't be bothered to learn the hard version, but then i start bringing in other solos i know, and then i end up playing a different song, which completely screws up the entire effort

Yeah I suppose so, thats kinda what I do (the thing your mate told you).

Definately agree with your mate Johnny-use the solo by all means as a basis or guide but put your own stamp on it. If you think about it, I doubt whether Jimmy page would play any solo exactly the same- even if the differences are small- rock music ought to be about energy/life/feel/emotion and these are variables. Thems me thoughts.

hallelujah

praise the lord .... or Jimmy Page, whichever is more appropriate :D

Just used him as an example CJ- I don't know enough about Slash y'see. Exceptions to my argument would probably be Hank Marvin or that geezer out of Queen who, so I am told, likes to work his solos out in advance- not that I am criticising- just horses for courses. But lets not hijack Toms post.
