Towelie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've long been a fan of Ron's guitar work on Shacklers, but despite having played the guitar for nearly eight years, I haven't even entertained the thought of learning to play this song. For starters, the tablature in the ChiDem songbook is wildly inaccurate.For all the shit Ron gets for the so-called "elephant" solo, I've yet to see anybody do a satisfactory job at covering Ron's guitar solo and tapping on SR. In my eyes, I consider it a huge achievement for a guitarist to create something which nobody else is able to replicate. It's a testament to how unique and original Ron is.A few years ago, I asked Ron if he could transcribe the tapping at the end, and he actually sent me the correct tablature for it, which he'd written out himself. How cool is that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Both.Towelie, can you give us the Shackler's tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoRourke Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I wonder why, when people are seeking help and discussion on something they enjoy, there's always a few assholes creeping in to ruin things.It took me some time to enjoy SR, especially Bucket distorted guitars and Bumble's solo - but now it's probably one of my favorite song from CD. Would indeed be cool to see someone trying to play the solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Both.Towelie, can you give us the Shackler's tab?It was only the tab for the tapping part at the end.I would upload it, but it's a pdf file, and I haven't a clue how to upload the file on this board.

Coma16 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm a fan of GN'R.#yesitspossibletoenjoyallerasI completely agree. I don't care too much for album-version of SR but it is killer live! Axl sings the "I don't believe there's a reason" part differently live, and it works better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Guthrie Govan probably could... he's able to play fretless too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno P. Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Guthrie Govan probably could... he's able to play fretless too.Yes, Guthrie could. Other than him, maybe a few fretless virtuosos out there could do the fretless bit and then the fretted bit?For those of you that don't know when Ron switches neck, he plays fretless from 2:17 to 2:32, then he plays the fretted neck from 2:32 to 2:47. Thing is - both the fretless and fretted bits are extremely technical, that means that you have to be a master at both, fretless and fretted guitars. And no, I haven't seen anyone doing that, not even those technical YouTube players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
