What is a Transcription from The Van Tuyl Music Foundation?

A transcription from The Van Tuyl Music Foundation means that our team of elite, professional musicians spent hours listening to and learning the song, and then transcribing every note, accent, dynamic and fill we hear. Once the transcription is complete, it is then checked, and re-checked for accuracy before we release it. Because we are human musicians, it is possible that we miss a note somewhere, or make an error, but it is extremely rare. Accuracy is our primary concern, so if you find one, please alert us so we can fix it!

About Sweet Child O’ Mine (from Wikipedia):

“Sweet Child o’ Mine” is a song by American rock band Guns N’ Roses. It appears on their debut album, Appetite for Destruction. In the United States, the song was released in June 1988 as the album’s third single, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming the band’s only US number-one single. In the United Kingdom, the song was released in August 1988,[6] reaching number 24 on the UK Singles Chart the same month. Re-released there in May 1989, it peaked at number six.

During a jam session at the band’s house in the Sunset Strip, drummer Steven Adler and Slash were warming up and Slash began to play a “circus” melody while making faces at Adler. Rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin asked Slash to play it again. Stradlin came up with some chords, Duff McKagan created a bassline and Adler planned a beat. In his autobiography, Slash said “within an hour my guitar exercise had become something else”. Lead singer Axl Rose was listening to the musicians upstairs in his room and was inspired to write lyrics, which he completed by the following afternoon.

W. Axl Rose – vocals
Slash – lead and rhythm guitars
Izzy Stradlin – rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Duff “Rose” McKagan – bass guitar, backing vocals
Steven Adler – drums

About The Van Tuyl Music Foundation

Hi, my name is Ryan Van Tuyl, and since 2004 I’ve helped thousands of kids learn piano, singing, guitar, bass, drums, and songwriting in schools all over the world. The programs I’ve created teach kids how to achieve their musical dreams and become better, hardworking individuals through learning to play and perform rock, pop, hip-hop, blues, metal, and jazz music. Graduates of my programs have attended prestigious music colleges and universities. However, these programs have only been able to exist in middle-to-upper-class communities, where parents can afford to fund music education for their children directly.

While all of this has been a fantastic experience, it has left out kids who attend schools in underprivileged, more diverse communities without funding for modern music education. Schools and districts in these areas lack funding for the equipment, teachers, curriculum, and support necessary to facilitate rock-band-style programs like the ones I’ve created.

My mission was to tackle this head-on and bring these exceptional programs to students in economically challenged areas, so I sold my music schools and am launching The Van Tuyl Music Foundation to forever change music education. Our foundation will directly provide the funding for the equipment, instruction, curriculum, and support necessary to facilitate these programs.
