Knopfler, can you handle this?
Illsley, can you handle this?
Withers, can you handle this?
I don't think they can handle this!
Today we learn EVERY lick from Sultans Of Swing.
Thanks for 400,000 views on the cover video; I never imagined it would get to that. I hope this tutorial answers some of the questions I have received over the years.
For a more insightful journey, consider checking out the learning materials on my Patreon including Tabs and Backing Tracks.
Thanks.

I've seen Mark Knopfler play this live a million times and he never plays all the licks, and most of the time the solos, exactly like the studio version. He usually tosses in one or two familiar licks to get the audience cheering, but other than that he plays it twiddly bits. He improvised it all in the studio then picked out the licks he liked for the recording.
There are many good Sultans tutorials out there, but this is truly superior. The tabs are amazing and include the fingerings, tab, and the notes. Excellent musicality all the way through and, let’s be honest, Sped is pretty entertaining. 🎉
Amazing! Thank you so much. Have a happy new year! 🤘🏻
why doesn't this video get a million views? literally what I and everyone needed
Haha, thanks. Who knows? Maybe UA-cam hates bandanas. Feel free to share it around. 🔥🙌🏻
ONE HUNDRED BILLION!!
It really is an epic tutorial.
Yes me too!
The best tutorial I’ve seen. Clear and slow enough but keeps it moving. Well done!
Brilliant mate!! 59 years old and been trying to get this forever and now I've got it! It's very comprehensive, so it's pretty easy to grasp and it helps that you're a personable dude and a little humour never goes astray! I'll blow your trumpet to everyone now! Cheers!!!!!!
OK, not only is this a killer lesson...But the humor takes it over the top! Actually makes learning all this even easier. I learned a TON on this one and am coming back for more from Sped! Thanks for putting this together!
I have been trying to learn these licks for 30 years, and now I am learning it with my daughter and it is so much fun! Thanks Matey!
I just came across this video while browsing the net and finally found exactly what I was looking for. And there I must admit that it is certainly the best tutorial I have ever seen on this song. So I'm bookmarking this link, and I hope everyone who sees this video will do the same. I wish every time I click on this video (i.e. every day from now on) I see 1k more thumbs up!
I really dig the way you teach - Yes please on the solos!
With your help I’m getting through this. Got solo 1 down. Know solo 2, but still needs work (maybe I need a headband…) and now getting though these bits. Your videos are SO helpful. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them. Love your content and your style. Thanks so much!
Thank you Kevin, great to hear!
Beautifully done, great tone, very clean, your teaching skills are phenomenal
Thank you! Appreciate that, so many nice comments on this video, feeling grateful. 🙏🏻✨
He just became the best guitar teacher on UA-cam. This is unbelievably informative and helpful. Your sense of humor is unmatched. This would be impossible without you showing us.
It really does deserve a million views!! So thank you a million times! I'm diving in.
You’re welcome Jeffrey! So cool to hear this form you, have fun.
I can’t stop watching this video over and over again. Very very helpful. Time practice and patience is all we need for this. Almost forgot, a lot of passion to learn.
You’re welcome
Rafael! So glad that you liked this video. ❤️🙏🏻
Just when I think I found the perfect lesson for this song , then I come across yours and you take it to the next level! Excellent lesson sir- easy to follow and the way you demo the licks are as flawless as always.
This is the best guitar teacher in my experience of watching UA-cam.
Thank you sir.
That’s Huge, thanks Leo! First solo lesson out now as well. Good timing. 🤘🏻😏
Hey Bro.THANKS,There are many good tutorials around,but no one like yours.You play and teach well,and your solos and arpegios are perfect.Thanks.I learned a lot and much better with you.I hope you got Santana and C.C.C.
Thanks for the reply. I’m old enough to have seen all the greats - Page, the Who, Stones, Clapton, all over a dozen times. I consider I can’t really name a favorite. I can honestly say that you have Mr Page down to the last note. Takes a great deal of effort and dedication to achieve this. Plus it’s very obvious that you love what you do. Again my thanks.
that was really a journey, wow. Thanks a lot. You're off for a pint, I'm off to tell the band to learn sultans of swing so I can use what I learned. The most difficult thing is to stay concentrated and play the right lick at the right place. Well, just at the beginning, later on, I guess you just do what comes to your hand :) Thanks again, you're great!
I love how you describe a sweep without actually saying sweep. 2:49
Great work brother. Thanks.
Yes Sped, we need the solos too please 😁
Yes!!!!!!! Have been waiting for this for a long time. Now I have something to do for the weekend! Cheers mate!👍👍
Yes!! It’ll definitely keep you busy, have fun! 💪🏻
Super buddy, you are cool as cumber.. tried Sultan of Swings but just got lost in the woods but after listening to your licks, I reached someplace buddy. Keep going man, 3 Cheers😀👍
I learn by listening and watching - tabs drive me crazy. I've made more progress in this song in 8 mins of watching this video than I have 3 weeks of muddling through tabs. Alchemy version next ;)
I love that i can pick out the licks i like best...at first...but then ..i find im able to pick up the others...naturally..it sort of flows! Nicely done. Cheers! Never thought id ever be able to play anything from Sultans of Swing...always looked to hard..and daunting, .written down in tab! This is great! 👍😁
Excellent! Explained, very well, not too fast ,not too slowly. Very nicely done, thank you!
Lot of time and effort into this one. Nice. Really nice.
This is the perfect way to instruct! Slow enough for beginners and fast enough for intermediate and advanced players. Thanks for the assist!
Thank you for this and the other two videos in this series. Hands down the best Sultans of Swing tutorial on UA-cam. I've had the intro licks and the first solo down for years, but never bothered learning the rest of the song until now. Coupled with the backing track "Sultans of Swing without Lead Guitar" and a Twin Reverb model, my fingers are sore from jamming with the band. Awesome job
Thank you for the concise lick lesson. It's extremely complicated and you've helped me immensely. Good instructor you are.
You’re welcome Robert! The most challenging thing is remembering the order. 🤯 Have fun playing it now.
This kind of tutorial is we need, you're awesome man.. pls don't stop sharing your talent..
And pls .. the tutorial of solo..
Thank you .. keep rockin 🤘🍻
Thank you. 👏🏻 Both solo lessons are up! Enjoy.
THANK YOU!!! After 40 years of struggling it now becomes clear! Solo @ now please!👋👋👋
Solo lesson has just dropped last week! 🙌🏻
You and me both!
Very useful video. Well presented with a refreshing sense of humour.
Glad you enjoyed it! I like a crap joke or 4.
Heluva job mate, thank for this, i feel i need a bandana too now. Just need to mememorise them all and then memorise the arrangements, rhythm, solo....sheesh dude, what are you doing to us!
Aside from the flawless playing and lovely tones, what a brilliant idea to make a Sultans 💫lick-only💫 video. Thanks mate! Greetings from Colombia! 🎸❤🔥
Man, I never thought that I could learn all the riffs of this song. I can now play the whole song including the solos (but still not that perfect). thanks to you Man.
Hi, been away for a bit, thanks for this tutorial, I’ve really missed you friend!! Thanks for your hard work!
Welcome back! Don't be a stranger.
Thank u thank u thank u…………. Many times over. This is just what I needed to finish my complete learning program on this fabulous song. With these licks, I complete lead guitar parts. Thank u again, somebody had to do it for the almost advanced guitarists benefit.
So glad you found this so useful. Not sure if there’s another video that goes through each one in depth so I thought I’d do it. We all have our own style anyway.
Wiht this guys voice in my head, he makes me believe I can play Yngwie now!!! What a great teacher...
I would really appreciate if you can teach us the guitar solo of Sultan of Swing, love your teaching
Both solo lessons are now on UA-cam! They went up over the last two weeks!
Sultans of swing celtic blitzkrieg from thexhighlands
Incredibly well done video and tutorial. After decades of avoiding this song I’m finally on my way. Thanks man!
Never thought I could get my head wrapped around this classic, but with your guidance, I did. Forever grateful!
Ahhhh amazing! You’re welcome. Solos lesson out there now as well. 💪🏻
How’d you do that? I want to do that. Hey Sped, we need a tutorial on how to give you money.
Thanks! Best instructor ever!
Wow, thanks! So glad you enjoyed this!
Fantastic class !!! Thanks a lot !!!
Nice one. Like for many people this song has been one of the most challenging to learn as a beginner/intermediate. Thanks again for the tutorial.
You're a good man, Sped! Keep up the great work. Excellent teacher and very funny.
sheer cclass clear precise lesson good humour great to listen to wortg watching his videos and bandana looked great sped
Glad you enjoyed it Alan! Thanks for watching.
I'm no expert, but this sounds very authentic to my ears, I will be coming back to this lesson for definite.
Thanks Sped, great tutorial.
A huge thanks for this...just came across it. Winter's coming here in Canada and with all the extra time, will give me a real challenge. Nicely put together.
Yeah this one will definitely see you through! Just topped up on my maple syrup as well. Hoping that sees me through (the week) 😂 🇨🇦
You are so precise please send solos you are heaven sent
Great job, yes to both solos
Thanks Russell! 🤘🏻
I join the request. Very nice lesson!
I’ll be working years on this one. Thx Sped!
Pleasure. Have fun, so much good stuff to take away from this song. It's literally lick central.
Loved it! Cheers Sped! 👍🌈
This video is great. Thank you for this excellent lesson.
You're very welcome!
Brilliant lesson, the best!
been trying for a while wow came across this guy thx so much
You're welcome, glad it helped!
this is astounding
Thanks so much, glad you liked the vid!
I remember the first time the dj played this song on the radio. She was so excited about him singing and playing lead through the whole song. Man I’m old! Never thought I’d be able to play any of this song but guess what!
Brilliant video.. . This has helped me alot . Thanks dude 😎💪
Great lesson thanks, finally I will be able to play it properly
Hey sped, another great lesson. Honestly, I don’t get how people could give you a thumbs down?
Haters gonna hate Scot. Thanks for watching, hope you learned something valuable!
I have Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven down pat, thanks to Sped...he is the best!
How cool is that. You have fun playing them!
Excellent teaching technique, just the right pace. For the first time I feel playing this song is achievable! Liked and subscribed, thanks.
This is awesome Ali, have fun putting it together! The most difficult thing is remembering the order of all the phrases! 😂
@@SpedSpedding So true 😂
V nice.... I learnt it solo and all a couple of years ago and then recorded myself playing it..... because the chances of remembering the whole thing and getting the licks in the right order a year later are close to zero! I’ll come here if I ever need to play it :)
Let's do this Sped.Loved your Ramble on cover about 5yrs ago( im new to the channel) .Great Strat there looks like coffee in a good way.Mark Knopfler ,what a player,and Great songwriter. Enough talk lets play guitar.
Yeah he is a mind blowing player. His phrasing, sense of melody… incredible. That was a fun cover looking back, even got some drumming on the knees on there! 😂
Absolutely bangin’! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Haha thanks Karl!
Best video i found so far, thanks a lot!
Amazing, thanks. Glad it helped.
Best lesson on youtube ❤
Thank you! 😃
I love this video. You explain the licks really clearly. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Great video! The bandana makes all the difference! I've been working on this and have to use a pick. There's a couple of licks that are really tough with a pick - well there are plenty that are tricky! Thanks for the video.
My pleasure, some of the faster licks actually make more sense with the fingers. You can see how he’s arrived at certain phrases etc.
So clear! Brilliant - thanks!
You're very welcome!
Mate, this is the greatest video ever uploaded to UA-cam. Thank you so much, you are a guitar god!
You're welcome and thank you for such an awesome comment!
THANK YOU, Brother!!!
Awesome Lesson!!! I'm gonna be working on THIS one for a while!!!
I've pulled a Guinness and enjoying a pint right NOW.
I've subbed and rang the bell!
Looking forward to seeing more tutorials!!! Have a GREAT weekend and be safe out there . ✌🏻
Sounds great, you got your own bar there? I’ll have one too. 🤣 Have the best weekend playing these iconic licks.
massive effort mate thank you!!!
Sultans of Swink… I love that!
Just an absolutely great lesson and playing. Best breakdown, especially that cool jazzy lick which sounds spot on. Thumbs up.
Thank you, which one is the Jazzy one? The one that descends right down to the F?
@@SpedSpedding Yes that is the one. i believe you resolved it correctly. Thank you.
everything is great. ou are a superb teacher. I've never caught on to the divisions in each segment along the red play line. If that is normal I've never noticed it before. I love that feature. Thank you for doing all of this.
you must also be a great guitar player. congratulations on your awesomeness.
Outstanding video! I have been fiddliing with this for years and finally done!
Glad it helped! Nice to have them all laid out one after the other.
Shopping for a purple bandana today! ;-)
Yes! Let me know how the hunt goes, you’ll be up and running in no time. 🙏🏻
phwew!! That was a lot!! Now it's time to go memorize some lyrics so I can get up under the lights and do my thing!! Thanks!
Gosh, what's a big thing to take on for us. Thanks so much
You’re welcome Kelly! Have fun with them. 🤘🏻
All the Epic UA-cam videos must bow down to this Epic video as it sets the new standard of what an epic video is. Pure Epic-ness. But, and I hesitate to bring this up because there's enough Epic-ness to overcome any issues that some anonymous UA-cam commenter may bring up - are you using the middle pickup here???? Because it looks like the middle pickup and we all know that Mark didn't use the middle pickup!! Not EVAR!! I mean - Sultans is *defined* by the sound of the no.2 Pickup position!! Sped. Sped. Sped.
You keep amazing me with your work bro.
I have not heard to many people that can get these kinda songs right.
Thank you for doing "Achilles last stand " and Fool in the Rain" by Zeppelin. .. I had a feeling there was more going on in those songs than I was prepared to find that could make them sound proper. It was like a treasure that had been hidden from me for all these years
I'm gonna study your work here on "Sultans of Swing " as well.
Thank you.
I appreciate that, thank you! So glad there of value to you. 🙌🏻 Have fun with Sultans; for me it’s all about memorising the order of the lines. Haha.
Sir! You are a wonderful teacher…
Great teacher👍
Super Excellent Tutorial on "Sultans of Swing."
Absolutely Brilliant! 🤩👊🎸
Great work ! Thanks from 🇫🇷
You’re welcome! 🇫🇷
Great personality and can he play yes what a great guitar player and teacher and super tone on this dire straits song explains how to play it and top marks to him excellent
Truly excellent lesson and chilled out / no bullshit teacher / guitarist.
Haha, thanks Alan. Glad you liked this, I hope this video picks up because beside the solos it's literally everything you need to know.
Love your teaching so much, really really appreciate it :)) Btw, any chance that you can teach us “Telegraph Road” and “Brothers in Arms”….. Thanks for your valuable time in advance.
Da Best guitar lessons on UA-cam
Thank you!
Great lesson thank you 😊 easy to follow
You’re welcome! 🤘🏻
Nice work ,having a pint your so lucky
Thank you! Cheers!
Best video I’ve seen on this song. He almost makes it look learnable.
Haha it is Robert! I know you can get it. 💪🏻
Very good and helpful video. I subscribed.
Great to hear Brad. Thank you!
Wow! This is awesome. LoVe your comments too.
Thank you so much!
Knopfler’s a hard guy to copy in an exact way. Lot’s of nuances in his playing? Like the Strat Sped. Is that an American Elite? Sounds great.
Yeah! It’s got the Noiseless Pickups and the switching system with the button on the volume. 🤘🏻
Thank you for sharing
“ by lick 20 and onwards, I think he just ran out of ideas” … I damn near died laughing at that one! Thanks!
