I KNOW A LITTLE (Part 1) Tutorial (By Request) Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@thebluesrockers]

This was the one song that Ed King said that he never wanted to try to play again. It's the only Skynyrd song that gave him fits every time he played it. He said "Steve Gains was an amazing guitar player." You played the hell out of this tune. awesome performance. was this a tough song for you to learn? It feels very intimidating to me. hahaha..

[@KoolKatDave]

It gave me fits too in my Southern Rock band from 30 years ago and still gives me fits 30 years later! I understand where Ed was coming from…

[@bigsidable]

Growing up in Beaver Falls Pa. in the 70s. Pot head wine head. All I did was listen to this band. And this song just intrigued the hell out of me. I heard the Delta in there. I heard Memphis,. New Orleans. Chicago. But most Definatly. Some Juke Joint in Mississippi.

[@in2livinit]

Immaculate ! Anybody who can competently play Steve Gaines, is a Golden Guitar God to me !!!

[@shable1436]

I haven't seen artimus in a long time, the last time there was a house band in Floyd VA, and they let him play, and we did some songs together, and jams. I told him about playing on stage with leon Russell before, and his friends from ARS in Atlanta. So he knew i could hang with him, was a cool guy, i think he said he was visiting family from Floyd, i had no idea he was from my area

[@redhed9776]

Drove 4+ hrs to Floyd to see my friends band play at a local pub. Love Floyd....

[@ronnie5129]

Scott, thanks for this video here, A Great Job, I believe that Ronnie was singing the Ole Skynyrd song, ""Need All My Friends'', A Few days ago, Well All His Friends are there now, I Believe that Ronnie Wrote a New song the other day, Called, " Heaven Has All My Friends'', R.I.P. To Gary, He Was Prince Charming, Cousin Figel

[@DonTheGuitarGuy]

Yes! Thank you! I was just scanning all your vids again the other day looking to see if you covered this. Steve was just an absolute monster, even long before Skynyrd where he was doing this type of playing and songs that appeared on Street Survivors. . One can only fathom how great he and the original band would have become in the following decades. Thanks again for this.

[@walkingtruck]

Just discovered your channel recently and have been digging through your past videos. Enjoying learning the RIGHT way after all these years. Thanks so much for keeping the spirit of Ronnie, Ed and the rest out in front of modern audiences.

[@jaywyche416]

The right way is the only way. I've been using his videos for leaning material.. I like the cover he did on under the bridge by RHCP

[@ToTheMaxGaming1]

Steve Gaines isn’t talked about enough, would’ve been one of the best of all time. Thanks for these lessons

[@Ja_s-per]

I agree!!! Hands down... Bluesy-Badassness!!! 🎶🎸🎶

[@paultaylor846]

He was an incredible guitarist !

[@kenk7049]

Scott, thank you for this and your other videos!

[@forex922]

Thanks Scott

[@omarmunozcastorena4466]

Thank you for sharing the wisdom! I will really enjoy learning this one! And dancing with it. Cheers from Juarez Mexico

[@seraines]

Thank you for watching!

[@tselder2000]

Outstanding sir!! The best cover of this song I have seen on the tube!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@seraines]

Thank you!

[@GrowinAlaska]

Scott, your a Great instructor. Have you considered joining Artistworks? We could sure use a “Southern Rock Course” similar to what Guthrie Trapp has done with the “Electric Country Guitar” course. Thanks for keeping the music from the best band ever alive!

[@jadkins123456]

Awesome! Love this Scott, Thanks for posting!

[@duaneulman9915]

Thank you

[@rossbrower7668]

Great to have you back

[@bigsidable]

I' just hear so much 40sand 50s. Harlem Jitterbugging. Shit so tight.

[@jonathand.terrell3419]

Great job!! Excellent execution!!

[@Slisqopros]

Wow!

[@1doublem]

Scott you're always amazing and I love that you want to pass on these tunes for us! I appreciate what you do! I get most of the lead stuff down you show us but this one will take some work for me! But I think I can get it. This tune has baffled me all these years and since I'm a very visual learner you just may get me there. Glad to see you back Scott! Stay well.. ✌️

[@seraines]

Thank you, Mitch. You got this!

[@Ja_s-per]

Just watch them hands, I've rewinded a few times... 🇺🇸🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵🇺🇸

[@timporter6112]

Awesome!

[@mikeoliver198]

That was pure perfection. Thank you. Enjoyed it much.

[@Thermocouple2short]

Scott you are the coolest, keep it rockin

[@Ja_s-per]

I've heard that... Ronnie considered the bands style as, "Blues Boogie Music" instead of "Southern Rock"... They're from the, South(Florida). "Southern Blues Boogie!" Is fine enough for me!!! I've been told a story about them in, Radford,Va. (My home State.) They were at the "Silver Spur" (Biker bar)on the outskirts of Radford going to Christiansburg. It made me love them even more than ever... Let's say this... It doesn't matter what race/color you are!!! If you are a "Skynyrd!" Fan, Your welcome to hang with them!!! I know the motel, (Tyler's Inn). 6 rooms, 5 of them could take a shower!!! Cause it was full of beer and liquor!!! This music, Has given me so much joy! Just don't like people using it just for one race, Everyone loves it!!! 🇺🇸🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵🇺🇸

[@drewmp05]

I don't suppose you would consider doing a tutorial for Gimme Back My Bullets? I can't find even a decent one anywhere.

[@SD-nj1cy]

another killer lesson. thank you

[@gorandalls]

very awesome. i used to have that strat model. same finish and everything. wish i had never sold it.

[@seraines]

Yeah I’m glad I never sold this one. Bought it new in Atlanta in 1980. I have a very big Les Paul regret. 😣

[@geralddorer8728]

great to have you back, amazing thanks!!!!

[@danield4547]

You’re a fantastic guitar player and a fantastic singer. I commented on your Mexico cover from over a decade ago. I never heard a cover of that song done so well. Big fan of yours.

[@seraines]

Thank you so much!

[@johnsimms4501]

Wonderful job!

[@jaywyche416]

Thanks Scott The one I've been waiting on.

[@meganostra6633]

Awesome tutorial!! As always spot on!! Thanks Scott.

[@WandaECase2024]

Always makes me smile...🥰

[@RockFan98]

Man this is the big one! Good to have you back Scott!

[@SpecterGT500]

Thank you Scott!! Got my hands full now brother!!

[@johnf4971]

Hi Scott - Pleasure meeting you at the APB show at the Tin Pan n Richmond (5/17/32), you guys sounded fantastic! Again, thank you for posting these video's. I hope you guys have a successful 2023 summer tour!

[@seraines]

Nice meeting you, John!

[@tasz8381]

Great job. Exactly how I play it.

[@jpb962]

I watched your Every Mothers Son video, then your cover of Hello It's Me, came here and watched this, and subscribed.

[@seraines]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@wilhelmrogue1]

More videos mr. Raines…😉😀

[@david25876]

Sweet!!

[@jameshaley7011]

Scott, what model Larrivée do you use? It sounds amazing on your other videos. Thanks!

[@seraines]

It is my workhorse! DV-05E Sounds SO good acoustically and plugged in live. Superior electrics. I have never plugged the whole and I’ve never gotten feedback.

[@OldGuitarMan]

Great stuff, Mr. Raines. I used to think those first few notes in the intro were all picked - that this was a kind of country-southern rock Yngwie workout - as opposed to the slide. I also thought the lead player was hitting the two supporting chords between each run, which can get a guy all tangled up and out of position, heh. You sound so perfect, both in style and tone. Even legends such as Ed King and Hughie Thomasson didn't play Steve's lines on the "I Know a Little" intro as exactly and clearly as you did, although that may have been those guys putting their own personal touches on it rather than a technique thing. I'm not sure what your age is, Scott, but I'm 54 and your tutorials are more than just tutorials. They help immortalize the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd and other bands you've covered here, like Blackfoot, by keeping guitarists of all ages playing their songs. It keeps the music they wrote a living, breathing thing, as opposed to just a museum piece. These videos are important work, as few people left alive on this planet have the insight into playing these songs the way you do. Thank you for continuing.

[@seraines]

Wow. Thank you! I really appreciate your kind note.

[@OldGuitarMan]

@@seraines Hey, you're doing The Big Man's work here. You're personally responsible for me learning and recording this cover of Diary of a Working Man: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGGQkH-Nq5yLgtk And the more of us out here who can keep this music alive - inspired and influenced by people like you - the more we can immortalize it by spreading it to future generations. I'm not trying to push my channel or videos on anyone. I just want you to know how directly you've affected some of our lives. ✌🏻

[@seraines]

Man, that’s awesome!! Great job!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

Good to see you back brother!!! Love this one... IMO, and many others, you should do the whole catalogue!! :) Killer strat BTW!

[@paulkeller9376]

man, you just nailed this one.

[@pjburke131]

Wow. That was amazing. That intro is crazy.

[@rrswitch48]

train roll on was next one on the album.....me thinks....outstanding toot Scott!

[@stevenpotter-en2me]

Oh yeah buddy, I know what I'm doing this morning. Thank you

[@paultaylor846]

Scott, Any chance you could do a video on That Smell? You videos are the absolute best. Thanks

[@seraines]

Paul, it’s in the pipeline. Thank you!

[@goodtimefolkrock]

Great pickin Scott love your playing . You fellas are such an awesome group......hope you come to the Sellersville Theatre here in Pa sometime want to meet you guys

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Really cool! Have you ever done a lesson on Call Me the Breeze? Thank you again.

[@seraines]

You found it! Thanks for watching my stuff! 🙏🏼

[@tommyedwards7062]

Very nice

[@gottadomor7438]

Mercy.

[@jonwanrocks]

been waiting for this one

[@floydharris8391]

Great job! Thx

[@jameswaldrop2090]

All I can say is your a amazing Guitarist!

[@BigJohnson1566]

Impressive

[@nikolaibarbarich7887]

Oh man, what a loss. Steve Gaines was amazing!

[@batmasterson9868]

Steve Gaines Alan Collins Ed King And unfortunately now Gary Rossington….. miss em all…

[@Corey_Bond]

Hey Scott I love your videos!! I’ve learned so much from them can I request what’s your name from street survivors

[@KenPryor]

Amazing job, Scott. This song just seem so complex. There is A LOT going on in that one it seems. Not sure if you saw my email a while back, but I'd love to learn your Street Survivor song. Hoping you do a tutorial on it sometime. Better yet, move to Illinois and teach me to play guitar. Seriously, thanks for all your tutorials.

[@seraines]

Yeah man! Street Survivor is on my list. Thanks for watching!

[@barryfowler-dl2ej]

Scott can you give me the solo on only in America by Brooks and Dunn please

[@seraines]

Listening to Only In America, is it the 4 bar solo before the steel guitar solo? Hopefully that’s the correct song?

[@6stringcodger450]

Great! Thanks so much. I got this pretty much under my fingers in 20 minutes or so. (I think I must have played it back in the 70s, but dont remember). I put down the rhythm part into a track and started jamming. It was a great Monday morning and start the week jam! Thanks so much for doing this for us!

[@RadLenoard-ld2of]

HE IS gOOD

[@awittypilot8961]

DUDE! Thank you SOO much! If I could have a 20 year old hottie feeding me ice cream I could die happy now! (kiddin...got a hot wife) hehe....thanks Scotty....it just don't get no better. I have always gauged my playing by THIS tune....if you can play this you're there if you ask me. I WILL get it now....

[@kenpeach4810]

nice but thought it was a tutorial like part 2

[@incognitivedistortion8800]

You don’t sound like him with either axe dude.. He’s played that song on a Strat before in his other band. It wouldn’t have mattered because he’d sound bad ass with either guitar.. also that strat of Steve’s like all Lynyrd Skynyrds equipment was an object of theft, thats why Workin for the MCA was written, and that’s when Steve grabbed the black Les Paul… 😂

[@PlymouthVT]

Wow just kickin' some ass....
