Here's a rather simple GN'R tune off of UYI II according to my ear (sans solo)
I don't remember what notation we agreed on in this group so I'm just going
to use H for hammer on. I don't have time to post tabs/chords to songs
often, but if anyone wants more GN'R or some Social Distortion I can post
some songs when I have the time. Other people seem to have R.E.M. and U2
covered so I won't bother posting redundant material.
