How to play Guns N' Roses - Paradise City by GunsNRoses on guitar

This is a great beginner play-along because it has a big, upbeat rock feel and a strong, memorable progression that sounds full right away. You get to lock into a driving groove without needing anything overly complex, so it feels exciting even while you are still building confidence.

Most of the shapes are straightforward, but you will need to move between open shapes like E, A, F, and Em and barre shapes like F#, B, D#m, F#m, C#m, G#, and C#. The main change to watch is the opening F# - B - F# - D#m move, since it asks you to switch cleanly between the first two barre shapes and land the D#m without rushing.

Start by fretting each chord slowly and checking that every note rings clearly. Then loop the opening progression at a relaxed tempo, focusing on smooth changes before you try to play along at full speed. Once that feels solid, bring the tempo up little by little until the song feels natural.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
