Because if it's actually GNR, then she for sure wouldn't be allowed to leak something

Which is what makes me think it could be. If it was a Slash solo thing he wouldn't care. Also wouldnt be surprised if someone had a little word with her after she filmed them running through what could be Oklahoma (or at least something new if it wasnt that)

If only they'd finally realise that the whole "mystery" bullshit is super lame and ridiculous now. As if Gnr ain't boring enough for fucks sake.

Yeah….I’m saying GNR related. If it was anything else there wouldn’t be any secrecy….I don’t think there usually is?

But maybe they should skip this one and cover SweetHomeAlabama or Whiskey in the jar

the mystery probably being working under conditions that don't go against what Axl wants which seems to be to not share too much before something "new" is being released. Duff talked about keeping it mysterious, but I think everyone knows it's not really their choice cause who knows what or when something will be released cause Axl decides and he's unpredictable when it comes to the release of new material.

However, I believe if Slash wanted to, he could say fuck it, let’s throw them at least some bone, and talk with Axl about this. I mean, what could happen to him? Also, yes, I get that Axl got butthurt by all that CD stuff, but that was some two decades ago, with completely different people involved on all sides, so I reckon maybe it’s time to get the shit together and start acting at least a little bit like a normal band. 
The mystery aspect stopped being cool sometime after 2002.

The “mystique” factor in regard to new GNR music died out a looong time ago. Those of us left who still care about hearing new stuff largely understand that this is a complete shit show at the mercy of one man’s mania and wildly shitty band management, where if another release of some kind actually does materialize it will probably be treated like another half baked mistake by team GNR. They’ve earned that degree of confidence.

Trouble about keeping things mysterious is you release it and the general public really don’t care. See Hard Skool for reference 

[El Guapo]

Absurd and Hard Skool were farts in the wind, basically. So the mysterious bullshit is even more cringe these days. Just shit or get off the pot, GnR.

You got to release something commercially viable and promote the fuck out of it. Something Axl has forgotten about after UYI 2.

We've been here before with the 'no audio' clips a few times. One of them, if memory serves, was Slash's son messing about onstage.

We need an AI program that will analyze Slash’s finger movements and create the music for us

i think a skilled musician should be able to do that, no?

[2020_Intensions]

I think the mysterious bullshit was officially over at the end of 2008 when ChiDem finally was out and GnR was no longer culturally or musically relevant. That worked back in the day when rock ruled the airwaves and the internet was still in its infancy. It doesn't work AT ALL anymore when we live in a world of instant news and promotion and rock is not important whatsoever to music and bands like GnR are seen as old man groups now ...

Tragically i had time on my hands yesterday so ripped the video zoomed in slowed it down to see what he was doing..Too much time on my hands

It's difficult to tell but there is one part where he seemed to play a solo or lick as apposed to chords. 

[DeNfr]

if it's GNR related, it's a rework of one of the Chinese leftovers.
if you're a guitarist you can see and replicate what's Slash is playing.

does anyone with a decent IQ has checked in the leaks where to find some acoustic part to determine which song it could be?

didn't notice you were talking about the muted clip, my mistake. (post deleted)

As a guitarist myself.  My guess on finger placement is a possible likeliness it is Atlas.  Tons of acoustic instrumentation in that song.  Predominantly in the beginning.  However I could be wrong.  Could be SMKC.  He hid that record recording snippets last time when they recorded 4 and she was recording him.  It was silent if I remember right

Atlas was my guess to tbf. Curly Shuffle has acoustic in it but bbut doesnt match up to where is fingers are

Here is a slowed down zoomed in shake reduced video of it https://we.tl/t-dHfgU4nY8w

Hope it helps anybody who may try to re-create it, i don't play too much anymore.
