Great Teacher and Technical Support

There's a lot of material covered in this song breakdown, covering both Izzy and Slash's parts as well as a stumable part so you can actually start playing something complete while working the other parts up to speed. Callum is a fantastic teacher, breaking down the different parts of the song into clear and concise instruction on how to play the parts and the little nuances that Izzy and Slash played on the recording. I had an issue with the song initially, with some of the resources missing, but TrueFire support was super friendly and helpful, and resolved the problem very quickly with no fuss
