How to play Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@anthonyangelis1094]

Carl, you’ve got me playing things I never ever dreamed I would be playing. I am so thankful for everyone of your lessons.👍❤️🎸

[@thebirdfromrio]

Nice pfp

[@EJleon96]

I feel that man it all looked so complicated when I was barely starting and I hated trying to learn songs through KZbin but the more i tried it the easier it became and now I prefer KZbin videos over tab. Carl is one of the best teachers on here.

[@John--]

I prefer the videos over tabs too. Tabs just feel like very basic information, to really get the technique you need a good teacher.

[@anthonyangelis1094]

@@John-- agree 100% !

[@PlanetPrima]

Carl, your the best bro. Everytime I need to learn a song and I see you have a tutorial I immediately pick yours. I never have to search any further. Thank You

[@seejayjames]

Agreed. I was looking at More Than Words and his video was fantastic for it.

[@alanhowell3646]

Nope

[@tomaskot9278]

I've seen many how-to-play videos of this song, but none of them sounded like the recording. Thanks for yours which seems to be much better.

[@twangmonstersl1156]

briliant tutorial dude. I'm a rhythm guitarist required to step up for lead duties and this is one song I have a shot at getting right thanks to your clear lesson. Cheers :D

[@Jam._.]

This tutorial taught me that I need more than 0.5cm's between each string, AND how to play the most legendary guitar intro of all time, so thans, carl.

[@greg6162]

What position is this played in on a Strat… I’m thinking position 4 but it looks like he’s using 5? I did see Rhett on KZbin play the exact Strat Ed King used to record the song and he said position 4 was probably it. I have a new Player Plus Strat and they added some different pickup options with the push/pull selector so I’m not sure if those would be useful. I’m a new player and not very good but I learned the Santeria solo in about a week, but even though this is more difficult I think this I could do it eventually… plus this is the correct version he plays. A lot of people play the wrong one on KZbin but this guy’s pretty much always on point and tries to stay original with it Edit: Why did you say you need more than .5cm to play this… my Strat is pretty amazing for MIM and the fret action is pretty low but it feels good to me stock. Does it affect the playability?

[@jacksonbarry8210]

Jesus christ I was trying to learn this song from a tab for like a month and i didn't learn even a quarter as much as I did watching this thing for about a half an hour. Thank you man

[@RichardAllenCramer]

What tab?

[@deathmachine6376]

@@RichardAllenCramer probably from some website

[@rcranky64]

Have a playing guitar for about three years I’m in my mid-50s and yeah I’ve learned tabs but just watching videos by this guy or Marty Schwartz or somebody else way way faster and way more efficient and frankly learn how to play it correctly

[@vierraentertainment387]

Your lessons are really great. What separates your videos from most others is how that you move slowly and precisely, explaining them all along the way. Most guitarists will appreciate the time and effort you put into every video I have personally seen you put out. Thank you for all that you do. Great work!

[@nursetom61]

I have been trying to play this song for a few years now. It just never sounded right to me. After watching the first 2 minutes I now finally know why. I was leaving out a note here and there. I can finally play it RIGHT! I can't wait to learn the whole song now and, not just the opening. Thanks so very much!

[@cherylhall8002]

I think you have to be in the top 10 of tutors online Carl, I can't fault your tutorials and teaching style or your musicality! I'm playing all of the parts to the steely Dan songs we do since losing our lead guitarist. because of you. Thank you Carl. You are a star!

[@TheDL425]

The best detail oriented guitar lessons I've found for refreshers! Awesome! Thank You !

[@adiedits8027]

When you play the bass notes before the arpeggios palm mute it sounds really good

[@chrisjames1924]

I'll second what everyone else says....BEST video for this song

[@MrClayster72]

You have the best lessons on the web!

[@berfinkasap6591]

wait, i noticed that i miss this guy when i listen to other guitar lessons... i can understand in an only single watching. best one ever!

[@anthonyangelis1094]

Just started learning this. Thank you Carl for a very accurate lesson! Love this lesson 👍👍❤️❤️🎸🎸

[@johnbettison1406]

This is the best lesson for this song.I have watched others who play it differentlyor they have distortion but you play it exactly right & nailed the tone also. Good job man. 👍

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Thanks for watching John!

[@10millionsubscriberswithno90]

Best guitar teacher on KZbin! Marty music is ludicrous.

[@GregHartnett]

pantera Addict why the hate on Marty? Different styles of teaching for different players. It’s all good.

[@paytonsoelter5879]

i think marty is better

[@revelacia]

perfect tutorial. ..Straight into it..no jibba jabba...clever bloke.

[@hazor777]

Yes - CORRECTLY taught! The UNIQUE thing about Lynyrd Skynyrd was that they took fairly common chord progressions and embellished them with unique fills and phrases . And this is not so much an "easy" song to nail down .... it's the nuances you have to get right to make it sound close to the original - Carl has it down. If yu don't have those little idiosyncrasies that everyone's ear catches ....it just sounds like the avg. beginner/intermediate player playing . Lynyrd Skynyrd was a once in a lifetime band ...it was the chemistry of the people involved - notably the 3 mainstays : Ronnie, Allen & Gary - that gave the band it's "sound" . They were a GREAT band , and always will be a CLASSIC.

[@pakoroutube]

The very best tutorial of this song on the internet by far.

[@paulkreymborg3319]

Way better than the lesson from GuitarJamz

[@johnbettison1406]

Paul Kreymborg Agree

[@johnbettison1406]

Paul Kreymborg Better than Justin Sandercoe too.

[@FerrerBarr]

Marty from GuitarJamz is bad but I mean bad at playing and teaching guitar

[@TheRagingGiants]

HIs fingers are too fat to see the chords

[@jesperbethlehem401]

Or Marty

[@chrishall2683]

thankful for your lessons made me a better player playing guitar has helped through Some bad times

[@aimfuldrifter]

Very precise lesson. Best on YT probably.

[@Cleared_To_Land]

truly the best guitar lessons on youtube!!!! legend

[@bradschak]

I don't subscribe to many channels but I have to yours. I have watched a few of your videos and have learned a lot. After picking up the guitar again after 10 years, I am getting the rust out. Thanks for the videos. I like how most of your videos teach the entire song not just a riff.

[@MCGaar]

I Go back and look at the albums. Man they were just kids who came up with the coolest fills and songs. Incredible

[@myronsamuels8798]

what's up Carl I learned my first guitar riff from you 3 years ago when I saw your beat it vid lesson. now I'm back to learn this. man where'd the time go. anyways great lessons keep it up

[@MICHAELB570]

A good teacher and a nice person !

[@kiekerjan666]

Let's just recognize that Carl is "The Man". I subscribe to his Patreon account. It's the least I could do.

Love the way the chorus rhythm changes feel midway through. Must have been Gary Rossington on this part.

[@mikemooney88]

old timer coming back to guitar, awesome demo

[@visiedo72]

Carl, thanks a million for another great lesson! I have a question, I hope you can help 😊 I’ve been listening to the original recording and I cannot hear the 3-0-3 pattern on the A and E strings at the intro riff. Even slowing down the recording I don’t get it. It could easily be my lack of ear training, or maybe that’s present on some versions only.

[@monicamerchant3553]

I wasn't sure I heard it either from memory but It's pretty audible in this recording around the 0:03s and 0:05s mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5aYc6iPm52katE.

Love the sound of your guitar!

Wow I have been playing that wrong for so long. Thanks Carl! Easy lesson

[@adiedits8027]

and when you play the G note on the E string before the picking pattern thing play the g chord after it its so nice

[@botyotambukov9757]

Carl,you the best mate.Thanks

[@oggythebug]

hy frot the main lick it s not hammer from 0 to 2 on the A string but hammer from 1 to 2 the source is Ed king himself cheers

Thanks for all your awesome lessons Carl. I've improved so much learning from you. You are truly gifted as a teacher. Would you ever consider any New York Dolls tunes? I know they're not massively popular but JT has to be one of my favourite players. Keep up the awesome work dude 🤘🏻🎶🎶🎶🎸

[@LesterFowler]

Carl, are you available to be commissioned to do a private video for me on a particular song i need to learn. Just breaking it down for me is all i need.

[@BilalSayedArt]

Awesome lesson thank you Carl! Do you know where I could find recommended amp settings for this song and other songs?

[@JohnFichtner]

very good lesson right there. I subscribed because I like when people teach the songs right. Great job.

how about a lesion on the correct bends and slides for electric although i do love this lesion there is so much going on in this song

[@FKHTrump2024]

Great lessen but didn’t Ed King play that in the #2 position out of phase on the pickups?

[@jeannot18]

Great lesson. Thank you!!

[@Tedclau1]

wonderful solo, cool

[@turglow]

how are you getting the abrubt sound from the D string? like the very first note in the song when you pluck it twice, how do you stop it from ringing

[@JamesTheManiac]

palm mute quick before the next note

[@austindonehoo2031]

Can you please do Saturday night special I can’t find a good video anywhere. Thanks !! You the man

[@DaBears08]

God bless this man

[@lllllllllllllllllllllIII]

Can you do cold by crossfade hardly any lessons on that song for electric guitar

[@tweedguitar9103]

Thanks Carl...Much appreciated...always wanted to learn this song properly !!!

[@marcelocostamendonca2142]

Perfect! Thanks!

[@jeffuhlenhake1973]

Thank you Carl

[@leandrogomes7738]

Thanks for the lesson, great video, like always. Question: in the last part of the chorus phrase you do a C5. Why do you use your pinky instead of the ring finger to press the fifth fret in the D string?
