I confess I'm a talentless middle aged dude who's owned guitars since the age of 17 yet the theory has remained a mystery. Never got past cowboy chords and eventually some barre chords, but then put down the guitar for 20 years. I picked it up again, bought myself a new Ibanez electric, and have been learning this song from the excellent tutorial at Shutup&Play. Slogging through nearly 4 months of nearly daily practice, I am SO CLOSE. I can play it down to the last solo which I'm now learning. That final speed picking bit is hard, but rest assured by slowing it down, it is learnable. Trust me folks, if I can learn it, so can you. For me, it took a true love of this song to stick with learning it all this time, and it has absolutely been worth it.

I've been cracking my knuckles for months trying to get the whole thing down, and today i can finally say that i can play this song completely! It's an indescribable feeling when i finally pulled off the rapid fire triplets at the end of the song! All i would like to say is Good Luck! It's difficult, but it's possible :)

inspiring comment! it took me 9 months to learn Santeria in its entirety (sans percussion) I've been incredibly fond of this song since I heard it on the radio within the first couple years of having picked up the guitar. The chords and lyrics I've basically learnt through osmosis but that lead requires study, and has been so intimidating, the guitar tab has just been sitting in my UG favorites gathering digital dust.

I started learning guitar late at 58. I’m 61 now and have been learning this song all the while. My fingerpicking is just getting better the last few months. Thanks for this and helping me learn this song, It will still be a while until I can play through but better late than not. 👍👍👍👍

I have been playing for over 30 years (I am 61 also). This is not an easy song. I learned this song (and most others) by learning the scales in the song key signature (D Minor for Sultans of Swing). I tried to the the rythym parts first, then I learn specific phrases. My approach is not to try to play each phrase note by note by learn each phrase and put them together until I get the song down! Good luck!
@kerryfromaj90322 жыл бұрын
@@newhampshirelifestyle4233 Thanks for the help to look at it from that angle. I’ll look at the scale you mentioned. I’ll figure out if it’s a pentatonic scale or ? I can work my way through the Am pentatonic and now the others better all the time. Those scales vertically box by box and recently horizontally now. This guitar endeavour was a big ambition. I practice a lot every day and have had a few Skype lessons. There’s lots of technique and theory to learn…

I've been playing this solo for a couple of years. It was difficult for me to learn as an old guy of 68 yrs. old. The last solo is the most difficult to master and I still have some problems with it. Fortunately, I have the whole song/solo memorized but my old fingers have a hard time with all of the fills and solos. A challenging solo but satisfying when I finally was able to play it.

Try using both your index and middle finger to play the fast repeating licks. Not everybody has a turbo charged thumb like Mark! For the fast lick at the end, start with your index finger on the e string and pull off, hit the b string with your thumb, then middle on e, index on e, repeat.

You get a shiver in the dark It's a raining in the park but meantime- South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie, double four time You feel alright when you hear the music ring Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound Way on down south Way on down south London town You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing They said an old guitar is all, he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't, make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright He can play the Honky Tonk like anything Savin' it up, for Friday night With the Sultans We're the Sultans of Swing Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band It ain't what they call Rock and Roll And the Sultans Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" Then he makes it fast with one more thing "We are the Sultans We are the Sultans of Swing"
