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!
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. 🤘🏻
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..
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.
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.
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. ❤️🔥
@@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
@@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.
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!!!
Anyone else notice this Dude replies to all your comments! After teaching you bloats he then has a chat with you to top it off....now that's dedication! Keep em comin Mr. Spedding. Sub'd and liked because I trust you lol
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 UA-camr - don't screw it up.
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!!
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 👍🏻👏🏻✅💕
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 ❤
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
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.
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.. :)
great instructor just watch his videos sped can play super guitarist i watch all his videos top man way ahead of most if not all great sense of humour and he can play as well
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.
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!
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" . 😂
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.
Been working on this for a month. This is the last bit. The first solo still needs work too. But man. Learning all 24 riffs was ridiculous! Some zep next. Thanks bud
Hey Sped....yes...i'm back(from 5 weeks in england....) and yes alright...i learned this one before...but just to do your effort justice...i "relearn" it your way.....sounds bloody good anyway...so there....and i liked this vid too...so no complaints please......right...cheers....😅
@@SpedSpedding ha....depends....we had to find a carehome for mother in law (97...!!), yes we did...good one...clear out her house (yes we did!!) andgodknows what else...but now back job done...all (??) good....and yes i did miss playing guitar....still trying to catch up now.......
Im having a go at this! Never thought id ever manage it bit im getting there...just needs finessing...and timing...and fingers that dont get stuck in the strings..🥺 😂
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.
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.
Thanks for these videos. Sultans is way above my pay grade. I've been learning to play it for the last 40 years but I'm getting to grips with it thanks to your instruction. Are you related to Chris Spedding by any chance? Also love the sardonic humour. Great work.
So true what u say,should be more love in the world! More like!! Ur a legend mate a great guitarist too and u have a great personality pal! Sorry I'm Scottish if u cana understand my spelling right ha
Thanks
You’re super welcome! Thanks for the tip, it means a lot. ❤
Thank you so much from a 66 year old beginner with arthritic fingers. Love the challenge.
Could you suggest exercise(s) to develop speed? At my current pace the rest of the band has gone home.
75..Aloha

Dude. $50?
Hey Sped. That tone is freaking awesome 🔥
Whyyyy thank you Jeremy! 😏
Any clue as to how to get it ;)?
@@SpedSpedding
F.I.G.J.A.M is my current playing level thanks to you. Your time is efficiently appreciated 👍

I use most of the good UA-cam instructional videos (there's lots of bad ones) and yours is one of the best. Your dry British humor is an added bonus!
Haha cheers! Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks refreshing style,northern wit and great intro )
Haha nice one pal! Appreciate your support and glad you like my style. 🤘🏻🥃
One of the best tutorials. Clean, concise and short. Keep making such videos and thank you!!
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.
Thank you so much for this amazing lesson❤ im working my ass off to get it right💪🏻😁
I've been deliberately avoiding these two solos until now. So easy after watching your lessons. You rock.
That’s epic! Thanks for learning with me. Enjoy them.
Absolute hero Sped, my favourite guitar guru on the tube. Mark Knopfler is one of my favourite guitarists of all time…a bonafide genius.
So cool Ben. Thank you! I agree, he is. You know it’s Mark from the touch of a single note.
@@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.
Very well explained and played as all the tutorials you've done.
Thank you kindly! 😎
Awesome your explanation. I lov It. Thank you for your gratitude!👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Have to say that your way of explaining things is by far the best and easiest to follow I’ve come across. Brilliantly done.
Blows my mind to hear that. Thanks so much. ❤️
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!!!
Don’t often think of it like that Rex so thank you for noticing. Glad you like my style. 🙏🏻✨
This teaching style is just awesome
Learnt the 1st solo in one day because of your brilliant lesson, now to have a go at this too
Anyone else notice this Dude replies to all your comments! After teaching you bloats he then has a chat with you to top it off....now that's dedication! Keep em comin Mr. Spedding. Sub'd and liked because I trust you lol
I try my best. The way I see it, if you’re giving me your time I’ll do my best to give you mine. Glad you like the lessons, thanks for the sub.
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!!
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.
@@SpedSpedding this is why I subscribed, i really enjoy your videos, style and everything, definitely keep on keeping on!!!!!
Love this. Knopfler is my favorite guitarist.
hola amigo saludo de argetina chaco,la verdad un genio total me viene de oro ,a practicar vale tu esfuerzo claramente para el mundo
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 UA-camr - don't screw it up.
😂😂😂 following orders. I like it. You’ll be pleased to know that I laugh in the face of pressure Mike. I’ve got this. 💪🏻😏
Amazingly clear and funny tutorial thank you🫶

This is my favorite of the many tutorials of this tune. Good work, Sped.
Thanks Sped. Fantastic instruction.
Pleasure!
Fantastic ! Very efficacious.
Dude…stop making up words 🤪
Best lesson for this solo on Yt by far
Legend, thanks so much.
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 👍🏻👏🏻✅💕

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

That’s so cool Jay. Love that I’m being compared to that and coming out decent. 🙌🏻 Thanks for watching and the support.
This is a great set of tutorials. Thank you Sped.
You're welcome.
Superb lesson, great teacher 👏👏👏
Been waiting for this. I am OK at part one. "OK" might be stretching it.
I am backing you up on the OK so you're safe.
Hi Sped, trust you're well..

Now I know where to come when it's time to do solo 2 hehehe. Great lesson mate!
I’ll be watching mate. I’ll be watching. 😘
great instructor just watch his videos sped can play super guitarist i watch all his videos top man way ahead of most if not all great sense of humour and he can play as well
Thanks Alan, you can address me in the comments too. I actually read and reply! 🤣
I've just discovered your videos and I'm so glad i did. Amazing work. I learn so quickly with your videos. Thank you!!
I only have an acoustic guitar and i can't believe i'm actually learning this solo! still practising that gallop tho.
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.
Haha yeah that's cool. Like a mini Eric Johnson run.
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!
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!
Inspiring attention to detail. Brilliantly done.
Thank you mate. ❤️
I’ll take your word for a great video.. OK now I’m gonna watch it
Cheers Sped, gigging this in a month and I’m definitely gonna cheat as much as possible!
Awesome covering of this Music Sped!! Keep em' Coming, PLEASE!!!!!!!?
Cheers Mark, will do!
Good job. It got me closer. Thank you.
Fantastic job bro!!!
Thanks a lot!
Great lesson. Thanks!!!
My pleasure!
Always crushing Sped! 💪 🎸 Fantastic instruction, now I have years of work ahead of me. 😳
You know what; it'll be worth it Tim. It'll be worth it.
Looking forward to this one, learned all 24 licks and first solo, stuck on second solo, have high hopes for this video ,,;
You’ll smash it.
well done Sed Im very proud of YOU dude thanks
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" . 😂
Thanks for sharing your hard work
My pleasure!
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.
Boom! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Haha thanks.
You're savage. Thanks for all the help...🤜🤛
:0000 THANK YOU SO MUCH
Really glad you liked the video! Have fun learning it and thanks for subbing!
Good One. Yes
Liked and subscribed! Great job on teaching this difficult solo. Cheers.
👍another great vid,thanks
That was great! And I had fun :)
Good stuff! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to do this
My pleasure!
If anyone interested: 3:13 lick, I find it easier (and therefore easier speed) to do G/10, B8, B10p8, B6h8p6, G7
Killing it as always great job Sped.
Thank you Gary!
“It didn’t have to be that fiddley, did it Mark? “ 😂 love it 👍🏻 keep em coming Sped, another top quality tutorial cheers pal
😂😂😂 it’s true though isn’t it.
Yeah , but its highly MELODIC fiddly diddly! 😁
Awesome 👏. I’ll give it a go.
Epic, have fun!
I shared for all plataform of Mine, your teaching vídeo. 👍👍👍👍
Amazing tutorial thank you
You're very welcome!
Amazing as always Sped!!!🤘🤘
Thank you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
thanks for the lesson !
Pleasure Steve. 🥊
That was great! (Now I'm going to watch) :)😄
Have fun!
I can't swim the ocean with beer and crisps in hand. Settle for a Patreon subscription instead? Amazing lesson my friend, thank you!
You’re most welcome. Yeah don’t get the crisps wet. I’d be mortified. 😂
Love the tutorials, and great tone!
Been working on this for a month. This is the last bit. The first solo still needs work too. But man. Learning all 24 riffs was ridiculous!
Some zep next. Thanks bud
Nice work though! Honestly memorising each one and then the order! #sweats
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.
Thanks Malcolm. I will probably be here myself in 12 months working it out from myself again too. Haha!
Cant go wrong with Sped s analysis...
Great lesson, I like the intro to classical music instead of brain jarring intros most guitar lessons have
Glad you like it!
That was great
Thanks Gene!
thank you,very well done!
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!

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”
Thanks for these videos. Sultans is way above my pay grade. I've been learning to play it for the last 40 years but I'm getting to grips with it thanks to your instruction. Are you related to Chris Spedding by any chance? Also love the sardonic humour. Great work.
