Each card takes one song (or one section of it) and maps the tone to GarageBand. Pick one and play along.

AC

Back in Black

AC/DC (played by Angus Young)

SG into a cranked Marshall Super Lead, everything at noon. Pure amp overdrive, no pedals, no tricks.

GD

Brain Stew

Green Day (played by Billie Joe Armstrong)

Tight, dry punk crunch with strong midrange bite. A Strat-style body and hot bridge humbucker into a modded Marshall. All amp, no pedals.

AM

Do I Wanna Know?

Arctic Monkeys (played by Alex Turner)

Dark, thick and slightly fuzzy with a hard, dry attack. Valve distortion into a 1960s British combo, with the drive coming from the pedal rather than the amp.

M

Enter Sandman (Clean Intro)

Metallica (likely played by James Hetfield)

Clear and articulate with a Heavenly Chorus shimmer, on a Silver Panel Combo. The opening figure before the band arrives.

Enter Sandman (Distorted Intro)

Metallica (played by James Hetfield)

Tight, scooped and heavy on a Modern American Stack, with a low E that keeps its shape.

GNR

Paradise City (Intro)

Guns N' Roses (likely played by Slash)

Clean, spacious arpeggios with a restrained chorus shimmer, half a step down. Built on a clean combo rather than the distorted Marshall.

Shine

Collective Soul (played by Ed Roland)

A gritty drop D-flat riff on the Small Tweed Combo, with a Vintage Drive in front and a Ribbon 121 on the cab.

GNR

Sweet Child O' Mine

Guns N' Roses (played by Slash)

More coming soon. Each one gets researched properly before it goes up, and that's the whole point.
