Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits (Ukulele Tutorial)

Here's a ukulele tutorial for Sultans Of Swing - an oldie but a goldie by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler really goes to town on this one, so I thought I would try a little ukulele shredding myself!
The songsheet for this - and ALL of my lessons - is available on / uketeacher . Sign up today for as little as $1 a month and get a PDF songsheet with every lesson, and each video 24 hours before the rest of the world. And lots more goodies!

[@pointnlessduck9000]

Amazing song, could you make the tab for that little extra riff you did in the beginning? Thanks!

[@pointnlessduck9000]

Laurence Noton I currently don’t have my ukulele on me but I actually figured out the tab for the riff. Give me a couple of days and I’ll write the tab for you if you want!

[@subashadhikari6453]

did you write it?

[@ziarobbins5145]

I love your videos! Can you do one for Blake Says by Amanda Palmer?

[@skibumwannabe5492]

Do we get the whole solo if we're sighed up to patrion? you didn't teach us the 2nd half of the riff. The box is God damn genius. Makes it so easy

[@crisgoularte]

Perfeito

[@yrjamargretha5870]

Any POP ETC song would be cool👌👌

Hi your probably never ever going to see this but I have a assessment due in 2 weeks I have to play a song on the ukulele and I’m finding trouble finding the song “black in black” by AC/DC it would be amazing if you could do a tutorial thank you so much I hope u see this 🤞

[@hannaelder3540]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@anastojanov3291]

Thanks! I'd really like to see tutorial for Resistance by Muse next

[@ethanparker5187]

Hey UkeTeach, could you possibly do Not In That Way by Sam Smith? Its a simple plucking song that needs more attention than it gets

[@rachelb2952]

(Sorry if anyone has already commented this) If you want that slide to a higher C sound just do Bb then slide up to the third fret with the same chord shape.

[@ashuzguitar]

10:30 - solo

[@Azaruna]

Brilliant, well done dude. Still waiting for an Elvis Presley's Guitar Man teach :)

[@suckturbin]

Itd be great if you did a video for unravel the theme tune to Tokyo ghoul havent been able to get my head around the fast part

[@marierivera4269]

Please do a tutorial on iki town music

[@leonmorgans4250]

Would love a video revisiting Barre chords. Don't find the previous one all that helpful (sorry, I am a fan - honest)I still avoid songs with any form of b in it! Most of your tutorials have one in. Just can't get to grips.

[@freemusic1888]

No sé inglés y te entendí perfectamente

[@bridgetpalmer1601]

Please can you do a tutorial or Jon Bon Jovi: wanted dead or alive

[@rodrigovoigtfilho]

0:13

[@samuelmace4134]

Could you do a video on Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits too please?

[@zaclegoattack]

I am so used to getting videos that are neatly packaged with a few chords to a song. How does someone with the above as my ONLY knowledge of the music world become a better player that can use the fretboard. I feel like my uke feels under appreciated because I can do so little, and can’t seem to become better at it (only better at memorizing chords) -Zac

[@elena69164]

Gracias!..tablatura please?🤗👏👏🎶🎵🎸

[@clairejones2168]

Hello Ukulele Teacher! My church’s Youthgroup is starting a Ukulele Worship Band. I was wondering if you could incorporate some Christian song tutorials in your videos. Such as: Lauren Daigle, Newsboys, and Hillsong Worship. Your videos are so helpful and my Uke Band would really appreciate it! Thanks!

[@jocelynesparza3234]

@theukuleleteacher do dramamine by modest mouse! Goodluck

[@zazfeldman3374]

IM SO EARLY YESSSSSS

[@skibumwannabe5492]

Oh yes, what a tune!! Sounds great too. I always thought Romeo and Juliet would lend itself well to the ukulele. Nudge nudge wink wink, say no more say no more know what I mean?

[@scottburrows4993]

Wednesday morning 3am by Simon & Garfunkel next please

[@demireethammavongxay2682]

[@scottmantooth8785]

[@orcar11]

[@coreyddouglas5482]

Your out of key on that solo you play at the first. Or your bending the strings alittle when your playing or your intuition is out.
