Sweet Child O' Mine And The Hunt For A Resolution

So what makes Sweet Child O' Mine tick? How did Guns N' Roses create a song that was simultaneously sweet, romantic, and heavy as heck? Well, they did it by accident, but setting that aside, there's a lot of interesting compositional techniques that went into this hard rock masterpiece. For instance, did you know that there are literally zero actual resolutions in it? None whatsoever. They replace them all with a couple different pseudo-resolve-y things, which keeps the song moving forward and never lets the listener actually rest. Plus we break down one of the most famous riffs in all of hard rock. Check it out!
