Sweet Child Of Mine Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Sweet Child Of Mine chord chart by the amazing Guns N Roses. I usually prefer to play Guns N Roses on the drums but this is a pretty cool song. It's not to bad other than the solo has a B chord in it. If you don't know a B chord, I would just play a B bass note (2nd fret on the A string) and play the chord for everything else.
If you know this song very well, yes I am missing a G chord in a few spots, but this is a slightly simplified version. Most chord are a full measure but some are two beats so pay attention to where those are located.
