I wouldn't want to hear him singing a whole album but it is cool here and there. As for Shotgun Blues, I just gave it a fresh listen. If that really is Axl, he did a fine job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 My least favorite GN'R song but listening to it again and singling out Axl the rhythm guitar is pretty cool. Basic punk, dolls, ramones style but he does a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADDOGJONES Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 By all accounts Axl's a great guitar player, not surprised, given his talent on the piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is good at piano doesn't necessarily mean they are good at other instruments. I'm not able to say if he's a good guitarist or not because there isn't a lot out there to judge his skills on except for some standard guitar stuff, and I'm surprised anyone else can who doesn't know him personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's def in the middle with Izzy and Richard top and Gilby and Paul bottom and Slash could never get in his own pocket doubling up. Hos solo songs prove it. Locomotive is epic cos its multiple guiyars riffing and not chording in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I think Axl's pretty capable of putting the foundations of a good song down on a guitar, i mean Shotgun Blues gets abit of shit but really musically its a great little snarling rock song and quite honestly if you put it on say Izzy's solo album Like a Dog i 'd say it would be a highlight of the album so its a pretty good impression of Izzy. I believe he wrote the basic guitar parts for Dead Horse and One in a Million too so he's pretty good at laying down something you can write a catchy melody over the top of. Obviously he seems to like writing more grandiose numbers with piano and synth(with some spectacular results like Estranged etc) but it would be interesting to hear what he'd come with just left with some guitars in a studio. btw that TWAT acoustic sounds very Oasis-y before before it's buried in synth.

I haven't read every interview with every bandmember, so I'm not aware of the fact that everyone in the band is on record saying that he is a great guitar player. It depends on what you think is a good guitar player anyway, and from those little pieces that I've heard I'm not able to say if he's good or not. And wasn't that the question in this thread?

RONIN Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I don't know about guitar chops, but Axl does seem to have lamb chops quite a bit these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I don't read every interview so I don't know. But I don't form my opinion on what other people say. Everyone has a different definition of what a good guitar player is anyway. All I'm saying is that from little pieces of guitar bites we (meaning most fans) have heard from Axl, I'm not able to form an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way that pattern is strummed on two tracks almost hints at a poly rhythmic thing. The vibe of the song is really lead by that forward push of the strumming. Simple chords, but smart playing.

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Axl's playing is pretty good but i'd rather hear more of him on the piano ( and not just November Rain...more songs like Dust in the Wind and It's Alright. ) JMO :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
