Sweet Child O' Mine





Today, I'm goimg to  introduce you a song, this song is called  "Sweet Child O' Mine".  
  If you ask what is the most representative band and song in the 80s to 90s of American rock, " Guns N' Roses" and  "Sweet Child O' Mine" would definitely be on the list. Guns N'Roses is a American hard rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1985. And the song Sweet Child O' Mine is a very popular song at that time,  the song is on the top of the billboard music chart (Billboard music chart is a famous chart that ranks songs), becoming the band's first and only number-one single in the U.S.A. And it is written by the lead singer to his girl friend.

  I was in high school when I heard this song for the first time, I was in a band, and our lead guitarist love this song so much that when we practice together, we always play this song, so it also represent the green days of my high school and my band. Hope you enjoy the song.


Lyrics:

She's got a smile that it seems to me 
Reminds me of childhood memories 
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky 
Now and then when I see her face 
She takes me away to that special place 
And if I stared too long 
I'd probably break down and cry 

Sweet child o' mine 
Sweet love of mine 

She's got eyes of the bluest skies 
As if they thought of rain 
I hate to look into those eyes 
And see an ounce of pain 
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place 
Where as a child I'd hide and pray 
 for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by 

Sweet child o' mine 
Sweet love of mine 

Where do we go 
Where do we go now 
Where do we go 
Sweet child o' mine

Electric Guitar

  As you can see, the picture is the exterior of the electric guitar, some of the stucture are similar with the acoustic guitar, while some also have big differences.
 

  The main differences between electric and acoustic guitar is that most electric guitar has an solid body.
  
  Since there's no hollow chamber where the sound can resonate, it sounds pretty quiet when you play the guitar acousticly. So you will need "pickups", which are used to capture the sound so it can be made louder, electric guitars usually have 1~3 pickups. And all electric guitars have an "output jack". This is where you can plug in your guitar cable, and the other end goes into a amplifier or a studio interface.

  When you play a guitar, mainly you can play it in two ways, "picking" and "strumming". When you play each string individually, it's called picking, which is used to play melodys. When you play the string all at once, it's called strumming, which is used to play chords.

When you are picking for a period, people usually say that you are playing a solo. And I put some video of solo I like, so enjoy it !


Two really cool guitarist  (the guy's facial expression is pretty annoying ~)
