Let's learn GUITAR SOLO 2 from Sultans Of Swing

[@ianlittle2054]

Thanks

[@SpedSpedding]

You’re super welcome! Thanks for the tip, it means a lot. ❤

[@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.

[@konarain]

75..Aloha

[@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?

[@jeremystone2658]

Hey Sped. That tone is freaking awesome 🔥

[@SpedSpedding]

Whyyyy thank you Jeremy! 😏

[@tomvanderschijff3332]

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

[@ThatElectricGuy]

One of the best tutorials. Clean, concise and short. Keep making such videos and thank you!!

[@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.

[@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..

[@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.

[@edzappia2892]

Thanks!

[@SpedSpedding]

Love that. You're most welcome! And thank you!

[@edzappia2892]

@@SpedSpedding Thank you. Having been a pretty good guitar player 30 years ago, and now retired after 30 years as a lawyer - FYI, I now do actually learn and re-learn all these songs and solos from your videos. Thx. Ed

[@olivierdenizot4832]

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

[@SpedSpedding]

Thank you kindly! 😎

[@mikemcglone3184]

Thanks refreshing style,northern wit and great intro )

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

Fantastic ! Very efficacious.

[@eddiejr540]

Dude…stop making up words 🤪

[@glasspocketband]

Great lesson. Learnt the first solo a while ago, but need to pick this one up now. I think with your teaching I can do it. So, er...Thanks.

[@pauloalvarenga5715]

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

[@karlo1906]

This teaching style is just awesome

[@jbailey254]

Thanks for the three great lessons on another one I never thought I'd be able to play! Little story on this one... my dad played country guitar & fiddle and had more music in his little finger than I have in my whole body. He actually learned to play fiddle overnight by his dad whistling to him because the regular guy quit and they had a live radio gig the next day! No pressure. Anyway, he could appreciate a lot of things I listened to, like Zeppelin, on a musical level. But this song was one he'd always turn up when it came on the radio. He was really into Chet Atkins and this one maybe brought that to mind. So I finally learned all these licks for my dad.

[@SpedSpedding]

Such a wonderful story and I’m so glad that I could be the one to take you through the licks. I’m sure your Dad would be honoured with your efforts and super proud. Your constant support is very much appreciated. ❤️‍🔥

[@James-wg2gv]

Discovered you channel a few weeks back, took me a while to get your method, glad I stuck it out. Working wonders now, thank you! Subscribed!

[@edzappia2892]

Nice. Nice lesson. Nice tone. Nice playing.

[@SpedSpedding]

Nice.

[@paulrosser6249]

Great teacher thank you.

[@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.

[@RichardVaughan_rtv]

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

[@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. 🙏🏻✨

[@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!!!!!

[@s.b2471]

Amazingly clear and funny tutorial thank you🫶

[@JayGenesis]

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

[@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. ❤️

[@telboy1966manu]

Speed only just discovered you recently. Where have I been... under a rock?? Awesome lessons, fantastic, thanks so much for giving your time and knowledge

[@SpedSpedding]

Welcome aboard!

[@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!

[@mcguitar69able]

Fantastic job bro!!!

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks a lot!

[@SophieBurrell]

Now I know where to come when it's time to do solo 2 hehehe. Great lesson mate!

[@SpedSpedding]

I’ll be watching mate. I’ll be watching. 😘

[@robkelman4704]

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

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

[@moser10]

hej, it's Sophie's band guitar player, that's cool, will keep focus :)

[@benrooke5522]

Absolute hero Sped, my favourite guitar guru on the tube. Mark Knopfler is one of my favourite guitarists of all time…a bonafide genius.

[@SpedSpedding]

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

[@benrooke5522]

@@SpedSpedding You well and truly do him justice Sped, brilliant playing and a great video. Thanks for replying. As soon as i see you’ve done a new video i have to click on it immediately! Keep up the brilliant work mate.

Inspiring attention to detail. Brilliantly done.

[@SpedSpedding]

Thank you mate. ❤️

[@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.

[@sylvesterd4112]

Beautifully explained. Thanks a lot👏🏻👏🏻

[@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 👍🏻👏🏻✅💕

[@cristianleitao1053]

Great lesson. Thanks!!!

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure!

[@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.

[@mikedr1549]

I liked it! And - THE VIDEO WAS FRIGGIN GREAT!!! Now - I'm off to watch it as directed. I might also add you're currently my favorite KZbinr - don't screw it up.

[@SpedSpedding]

😂😂😂 following orders. I like it. You’ll be pleased to know that I laugh in the face of pressure Mike. I’ve got this. 💪🏻😏

[@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.. :)

[@ianlittle2054]

Superb lesson, great teacher 👏👏👏

[@Troy1g]

Thanks for sharing your hard work

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure!

[@HMFDRAM]

I can now play the whole track. I started last August learning the guitar as I went ago. Massive thankyou for your videos. I'm now trying to sing it and looking to gig after that. Your a diamond 💎 Childhood dream to play this ❤

[@SpedSpedding]

How awesome is that! Congratulations on learning that so quickly and good luck with the shows. Thanks for learning with me.

[@willt8284]

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

[@THECHEFWORKSKITCHEN]

Good job. It got me closer. Thank you.

[@hyperabs4950]

If anyone interested: 3:13 lick, I find it easier (and therefore easier speed) to do G/10, B8, B10p8, B6h8p6, G7

[@GamingMaster-us7ty]

Good One. Yes

[@EddieGomez-nr1dp]

You're possibly my 3rd favourite thing on the internet right now, and I'm including the dark web when i say that!! Love your tutorials, feeling a massive improvement in my playing, since i came across you. Big fan of your work!!

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

I only have an acoustic guitar and i can't believe i'm actually learning this solo! still practising that gallop tho.

Inspiring as always. Breaking from instruction and making this comment a third of the way through the vid because I trust it's quality content to the end.

[@SpedSpedding]

Boom! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Haha thanks.
