[@andrewyoung7036]

Thank you so much from a 66 year old beginner with arthritic fingers. Love the challenge.

[@andrewyoung7036]

Could you suggest exercise(s) to develop speed? At my current pace the rest of the band has gone home.

I've just discovered your videos and I'm so glad i did. Amazing work. I learn so quickly with your videos. Thank you!!

[@pauloalvarenga5715]

Awesome your explanation. I lov It. Thank you for your gratitude!👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@olivierdenizot4832]

Very well explained and played as all the tutorials you've done.

[@SpedSpedding]

Thank you kindly! 😎

[@mojo6778]

Love the tutorials, and great tone!

[@sylvesterd4112]

Beautifully explained. Thanks a lot👏🏻👏🏻

[@belgiandip8682]

You make this look possible. I'm gonna try it! I'm inspired. Thank you!

[@vincentwong1060]

Top notch! Da Best guitar lesson with such detailed explanations and step by step note by note follow through, thank you for making me believe in my guitar skills now 👍🏻👏🏻✅💕

[@ZillianZilch]

Have to say that your way of explaining things is by far the best and easiest to follow I’ve come across. Brilliantly done.

[@SpedSpedding]

Blows my mind to hear that. Thanks so much. ❤️

[@willt8284]

Liked and subscribed! Great job on teaching this difficult solo. Cheers.

[@sreilhac]

I am so happy to see an actual good tutorial of this second solo, been on the back burner for me for a very long time, you're awesome!!

[@SpedSpedding]

I've got you covered for the whole song if you want as well. A video on each solo plus one for every lick! Have fun.

[@sreilhac]

@@SpedSpedding this is why I subscribed, i really enjoy your videos, style and everything, definitely keep on keeping on!!!!!

[@sriramiyer1270]

I've been deliberately avoiding these two solos until now. So easy after watching your lessons. You rock.

[@SpedSpedding]

That’s epic! Thanks for learning with me. Enjoy them.

[@DiChiaraDesign]

Good stuff! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to do this

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure!

[@RichardVaughan_rtv]

This is my favorite of the many tutorials of this tune. Good work, Sped.

[@ianlittle2054]

Superb lesson, great teacher 👏👏👏

[@wesselversteeg6963]

Really loved the three Sultan video's. After three days of fun with them the only thing bleeding were my fingers and my brain because of remembering the 24 licks and 2 solo's. I never considered them playable for me, but you made them so. Thank you so much for that.

[@JayGenesis]

Learnt the 1st solo in one day because of your brilliant lesson, now to have a go at this too

[@elliebeantv]

Coincidently, these last several weeks I've been learning all these leads out of Guitar for the Practicing Musician Nov 84. It's been really fun to see the small differences between your take and magazine. You include little touches that the magazine left out that really make it shine! Well done and thank you.

[@SpedSpedding]

That’s so cool Jay. Love that I’m being compared to that and coming out decent. 🙌🏻 Thanks for watching and the support.

[@jeremystone2658]

Hey Sped. That tone is freaking awesome 🔥

[@SpedSpedding]

Whyyyy thank you Jeremy! 😏

[@tomvanderschijff3332]

Any clue as to how to get it ;)? @@SpedSpedding

[@promuso2121]

Hey thanks for this. Been wanting to learn this for a long time. Subscribed.

[@Joe-ce3wh]

Thanks! I appreciate the excellent Sultans of Swing lessons. I’m ham-fisted & slow but your lessons are an outstanding aid to learn this tune. Many Thanks!

[@SpedSpedding]

Joe thank you so much for you feedback on this lesson and your added support. When people reach out and tell me of their enjoyment/successes it really does make my day and keep me inspired to create and entertain. The financial generosity also goes a huge way in keeping me dry and connected to the internet. 😂 Wishing you and yours the best. 🤘🏻

[@NmanJamz]

Dude. $50?

[@karlo1906]

This teaching style is just awesome

[@rexturner8208]

I am amazed you can remember the every pluck, note & bend at slow speed. Ripping thru it is one thing, but explaining it slow is next level. Great guitar playing & HUMOR!!!

[@SpedSpedding]

Don’t often think of it like that Rex so thank you for noticing. Glad you like my style. 🙏🏻✨

[@joemartucci4786]

Hey Sped another great video. Love the patience the quips the explanations. Not a huge fan of this song but as a musician love the dedication & killer presentation you put into your videos. As always best to you & Gab from the wife & I.

[@SpedSpedding]

That’s ok. Not everything I cover is gonna be a favourite. Hopefully you can still take something valuable away. 🙌🏻🔥

[@wspad2136]

This is a great set of tutorials. Thank you Sped.

Fantastic job bro!!!

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks a lot!

[@OnsitePcDoctor]

I use most of the good KZbin instructional videos (there's lots of bad ones) and yours is one of the best. Your dry British humor is an added bonus!

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha cheers! Thanks for the feedback.

[@cullenhill3292]

Amazing as always Sped!!!🤘🤘

Thank you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@kendricklyon9633]

Love this. Knopfler is my favorite guitarist.

Thanks Sped. Fantastic instruction.

Pleasure!

[@thomaschristie1277]

F.I.G.J.A.M is my current playing level thanks to you. Your time is efficiently appreciated 👍

[@thomaschristie1277]

I now play sultans of Swing so easily because of you that it's actually embarrassing for me,,, I always think to myself if I can anybody,,, probably true ,,, I have been jamming so much my left hand hurt's,,, but at least it's the left hand and at least it's from Jammin..

[@cristianleitao1053]

Great lesson. Thanks!!!

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure!

[@grantwright8071]

Hi Sped, trust you're well.. As a Knopfler/ Dire Straits nut from as far back as 1980, I would just say what an amazing job you've done interpreting /teaching all the guitar parts to this Song ! .. it's an absolute credit to you !.. But a request, Sir.. Could you please teach "Tunnel Of Love "" ??.. It's my favourite Dire Straits Song, but I find the licks in it to be equally challenging to Sultans, if not more so ? .. I just know you're the Man for this job, and hopefully you're up for it !.. Kind regards, Grant from Oz.. :)

[@vincentvega3076]

:0000 THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@SpedSpedding]

Really glad you liked the video! Have fun learning it and thanks for subbing!

[@mattsbo]

I just saw your short playing the solos from Sweet Child O Mine. Would love for you to do a let's learn of that. Your teaching style is fantastic!

[@SpedSpedding]

Yeah I could do. Should have done it at the time really but might also be good to stretch them out. Sometimes I tell myself that things that have been done tie and time again are pointless but like you said, if you like my style then so what!

[@edzappia2892]

Nice. Nice lesson. Nice tone. Nice playing.

[@SpedSpedding]

Nice.

[@mikemcglone3184]

Thanks refreshing style,northern wit and great intro )

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha nice one pal! Appreciate your support and glad you like my style. 🤘🏻🥃

[@malcolmhead2852]

Great lesson as usual Sped I learned this a few years ago Now I’m going to have to do it again! Always good to get a bit of perspective.

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks Malcolm. I will probably be here myself in 12 months working it out from myself again too. Haha!

[@julianandrews6025]

Cant go wrong with Sped s analysis...

[@CamelMilkMusic]

You're savage. Thanks for all the help...🤜🤛

So cool Ben. Thank you! I agree, he is. You know it’s Mark from the touch of a single note.

Awesome

Looking forward to this one, learned all 24 licks and first solo, stuck on second solo, have high hopes for this video ,,;

[@SpedSpedding]

You’ll smash it.

[@denis33]

very cool lesson ;you are not a awesome guitarist but a god teacher as well;with you i progress quickly. but a bit more tricky than the first lick of "paint it black" . 😂

Fab! And i adore your guitar face! 😁👍

[@kungstu22]

Someday it’d be cool to see Sped construct an original solo. Maybe like a backing track submission contest and then he writes a solo to it as a video. That would be good fun and I’d love to see how he applies his encyclopedic classic rock mind to something new.

[@SpedSpedding]

I’ve done a couple. Plus all my own stuff. Check out videos called “Sped v Page” “Master your own Style” and an original called “Jungle Flux”

[@bruceboome]

To play that last widdley widdley at the end using a pick, I sweep the 2nd and 1st strings on the notes A and D, then use an up strike on the F and pull off to the D Rinse and repeat.

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha yeah that's cool. Like a mini Eric Johnson run.

[@tiger8938]

great tutorial

Hello Sped. I see your doing another excellent job teaching. I really wish you would do a lesson on In The Evening by Led Zep. I know I keep asking, but I bet your lesson would be spot on. If you look on the web there are not any good ones on this song.
