How to play Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 6 you play G, F, C, D, Am, E and more, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has five main chords: C#, G#, B, F# and D#. It also catches A# and D#m in passing, and you can leave those out at first. All of them are usually barre chords, so check whether a capo gives you easier shapes. The change you will play most is G# to B, 8 times in the chart, so practise that one first. It runs at about 125 beats a minute.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
