Welcome to the Jungle

Playing Technique
#1

Hi all,

How would you pick the intro riff to Welcome to the Jungle? It seems hard to avoid string hopping due to the string skipping. So would love to hear your thoughts!

This is how Slash plays it - upstrokes for the open B, everything else is a downstroke.

I’d just use DBX as it’s not crazy fast :slight_smile:
