Swamp Music (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
I am Scott Raines, guitarist for the Artimus Pyle Band. In this video, I talk about my time with Ed King and how Swamp Music was the catalyst for meeting Ed face to face for the first time. I also break down Ed's guitar parts in the song.
Enjoy!

Dang Ed was just a total genious on guitar...He was so good at matching the guitar licks to the lyrics man.!!!!!!
yes, he was
Very intuitive and stellar playing. Thank you for unselfishly sharing this with us. And thanks for keeping the music alive for future generations. Kudos to you sir.
That's a great job sir on a rocking Skynyrd tune! Really cool to have Ed King tell you it sounded like him. Quite the compliment.
I just want to say thank you for keeping the old Skynyrd licks alive!
Hi Scott, thank you so much for your great work! I'm 53 now, since Lynyrd Skynyrd hit my ears in the late 70's, I'm addicted to their gorgeous guitar work and compositions. Swamp Music is my all time LS-favourite. I always wanted to play it the right way, but I just didn't know exactly what to do, but you made it!!! Thank you again! I'm looking forward getting more of your perfect tutorials.
Many regards from Germany
Christoph
Thank you, Christoph!

Mine too, can't turn it off once it starts...can't do it; wont do it !
That was glorious! Ed king rocks.
I’m 67. And I still can’t believe just how good these guys are. My first album was Lynyard Skynyrd Smokes. What 72?. I was the only black person in Beaver Falls Pa. Who knew who in the hell they were. I was in a Play about Hank WilliamsSr. Lonesome Hwy. Where Hank learn to sing from a Street Singer named Tetot. And it reminded me of Ronnie learning from Curtis Lowe. With my Roots from The Delta. And the blues. Yep. Still here. This is the traveling shit.
Jimmy Rodgers learned from the Black bluesmen of Mississippi. Elvis, and Jerry Lee Lewis. They all did. Us white boys owe it all to the Black man. Just stating facts.
Beaver Falls Pa. I've been to Sadie's Big Beaver!
yo ! old man - i am a couple of years behind you - tell me what is your favorite bluesy LYNYRD SKYNYRD song ?
mine is ( i just listened to it a few minutes ago )
' cheatin woman '
make you crazy -
cheatin woman make you a fool -
she'll leave your heart so lonely -
brother there's nothin that you can do
@kablammy7 Man that a hard one. Has to be Curtis LOW. SO much of that song us me in someway. I played Teetot. In a Hank Williams play Lonesome Highway. Like Ronnie. Hank used to hang out with a Black man who taught him how to sing.
This song grab me from the first time I ever heard it . Second Helping “ Say ! Hey pretty mama ‘
WELL YOU GOT THAT RIGHT ! YOU SHORE GOT THAT RIGHT !
Awesome, one of Skynyrds best songs
I absolutely agree!
WELL YOU GOT THAT RIGHT ! YOU SHORE GOT THAT RIGHT !
Want to Thank the APB for coming to Hudson Falls N.Y. and putting on one amazing show... Great meeting you in person...
Than you. So much fun!
Thankyou Scott for sharing your Swamp Music Ed King story, precious moments my goodness. Fascinating to me, loved it. Love L.S. love your playing. Awesome !
Wow I never would have figured that out. Ed was the best. Long story but I gave a Cassette of original songs to a roadie on the 1st reunion tour. Ed called my house a few months later and ask for more songs. Blew my mind. Later he let me know they decided to write they're own for the next album. Quite a thrill.
Great Story. Ty
I enjoyed every minute of your story, I met Ed when he was setting in with Billy Ray Cyrus (late 90s) at a Rodeo Oklahoma City.very humble man .
country band i been playing in has started doin this one and of COURSE i come to scott raines to help me NAIL it. great as always friend
Awesome brother! 🙏🏼
Man, that fretboard is busy just like a motorcycle splitting lanes through heavy traffic!
WELL YOU GOT THAT RIGHT ! YOU SHORE GOT THAT RIGHT !
don't say that too loud though - one of my two kawasaki z900 ' s might get envious !
great playing, scott! you really capture the feel to that song. great lesson, too!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Whew! Tough stuff! My favorite LS song.
WELL YOU GOT THAT RIGHT ! YOU SHORE GOT THAT RIGHT !
@@kablammy7 I Know A Little bout that too! 👍
Great Tune!
WELL YOU GOT THAT RIGHT ! YOU SHORE GOT THAT RIGHT !
Love it!
Scott dam good . Perfect
Great tutorial! I found your channel a couple of years ago trying to learn this song. I've been practicing these parts ever since. I have been anxiously waiting for you to release Part 2 showing the other guitartist's parts. This song is a jam, and I'd love to see your breakdown of the other parts. Rock on! 🤘
I'm so glad I've stumbled onto your channel Scott. I've been listing and trying to play Skynyrd music for all most 40 yrs. Lol. They have always been my "come back to band" when l lose inspiration. Watching your videos and listing to the stories has made me pick up the guitar again after 5 yrs of not playing. Now learning and playing is fun again and I owe that all to you Thanks again you're a great teacher...
how has it been going with your progress bud ?
@@kablammy7 pretty good I’m in a Southern Rock band. So we have a whole set of Skynyrd. Digging into the Blues again also. Thanks.
@@cannadaincowboy
do you like any tunes by foghat ?
do you know the foghat song ' sarah lee '
the reason why i ask - is some of their rhythms are so intertwined and coalescent - that i get the same feeling of complete involvement with them as i do many of the SKYNYRD tunes such as ' swamp music ' which is my total favorite song of all time since i first heard it back then . the ' sara lee ' song by foghat is also one that gives me the continuous anticipation of the next notes to be played and then when it gets to the end - i play it again ...
@@cannadaincowboy
i asked chatlbgtxyzump : about foghat being an influencer for LYNYRD SKYNYRD :
Yes, Foghat was indeed one of the bands that influenced Lynyrd Skynyrd. Foghat, an English rock band formed in the early 1970s, was known for their blues-rock sound characterized by driving rhythms and powerful guitar riffs. Their energetic live performances and blues-infused style resonated with Lynyrd Skynyrd and other southern rock bands of the era. While Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound had its own distinct flavor, they were influenced by the bluesy rock style and stage presence of bands like Foghat, contributing to the overall tapestry of southern rock music.
@@kablammy7 wow I did not know that. I never got into Foghat but I’m gonna listen to there non hits now. 👍
I have been trying to cipher this song for almost 45 years, this clears up a lot. I cannot thank you enough! This is what I love to play .
This video helped me learn one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite records. Thank you for passing it along Scott!
Wow, glad I found this video!!
Another instant classic - really appreciate the hard work you put into these. It's all there for anyone who needs the detail.
I have been watching this video for about a year and a half and I am finally getting there. Thanks man!!!! You are awesome!!
Awesome! Keep it up! 🤘🏼
Hello, This is a real treat to have you run down this song for us. Second Helping is one of my all time favorite albums and your Ed King stories i love to hear. Scott, hats off and Thank you !
Thank you, Scott! VERY informative and useful.Taking you time to show us this is a great thing. Again, thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Wow! Thanks a lot Scott! Loved this song for long long time! Now I can sort of play it!
This was absolutely fantastic, man if I could have had access to this when I first started out at 13...
Me too, kids don’t know what they have these days with UA-cam, back then it was cassette players, pen and paper, and my ear, did what we had to do to make it sound close enough to the original. 😊😊
Man your talented! Thanks for sharing.
Great lesson , playing and stories shared about the great Ed King! I’ve always said , there’s not one “better” guitar player from Lynyrd Skynyrd- they were all so great and complimented each other’s styles, yet they were uniquely different. Even after Ed left, Steve fit so well with the Skynyrd sound - everything about the band was like a destined story that wrote itself out perfectly. All the guitar parts dovetail each other into one grand presentation of the song - modern day Beethoven/Bachs just putt it out there! Ha! I sound like a kook, but I just love Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Love this video and the Head nod from Ed means gold! You are very very talented thanks for sharing Scott!
Thank you so much for doing these!. Spot on!
Scott...this was a song we didn’t playin my band, but always wanted to. U unpacked it. Thanks.
Fantastic ! Gonna give this a go now brilliant playing !!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do these tutorials. God bless.
Ed became my favorite guitar player, i was playing in a band from the early seventies and saw Skynyrd in 75, the moment I first heard Alabama he became no 1 as those solos were just beautiful, the fact it was in G major also gave it a deeply uplifting feel, and as for Ronnie? I'm not joking when I say I probably think of him every day..the power of music I guess, love your playing..regards from England
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Swamp Music is my favorite song ever and ever - amen .
Check my general comment .
I never get tired of listening to SHA - it has nearly everything in it as far as popular American musical/traditional genres: Rock, Country, Gospel, Blues - it’s a masterpiece of a song, IMO.
Spot on!! This is a song from my childhood. Dad always asked if I could play it, and eventually I did the same thing. Sat down with the record and learned by ear
Always a good lesson with, Scott!
Thank you for watching!
Nice,
One of my many favorite songs from ""Skynyrd!".
I'm always floor'd at the awesome guitar work on this song thank you so much Scott I'm still working on it 🎸🎶👀
Swamp Music is my favorite song ever and ever - amen .

Excellent 👏 👏
Sounds like me" would’ve made my head swell so big, I would’ve been so nervous, I mean it was Ed King, the King, wow. That’s amazing. Love your videos and your band I’ve got new inspiration to get back into jamming again thanks for sharing your videos , so many parts I’ve been missing you break it down easy to learn from. Thanks 😊 and keep rockin. 😊😊
I'm 61 years old and I must say I am so impressed with the way you teach. Thank you so much.........
Peace and blessings
Love Allen, Ed, and Steve's guitar playing
Love the lessons thanks.
Thanks So Much Scott. I have been playing it wrong for all these years. Now< i will go back the drawing board, and relearn the right way
just now found you and it seems I have been waiting all my life to hear/see this correctly. OMG! I'll be up the rest of the night!!
Thank you so much for the lesson!! Your are such a great player!!!.
Fantastic video and lesson, Scott! One of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite bands. Second Helping is just chock full of great playing and great songs. It's tied with Street Survivors as my favorite Skynyrd album, Ed and Steve Gaines were truly fabulous players, and both offset Gary and Allen perfectly. Great job breaking it all down, and yes, we'd all love to have you guys play through this and other Skynyrd tunes together. I used to listen to that major pentatonic run after the solo over and over- I just thought it was so perfect. Loved the way you wove in the story about meeting Ed, too. I always wished I could have met him and thanked him for all the inspiration. Thanks, man- I can't wait to see what you do next. Great tone from that Strat, too (I'd never heard of that line before, either. I'd love to hear any tips you have about getting Ed's #2 position tone. I own 4 strats, but can't seem to nail it close enough for my tastes. You made my day!
Thank you, Mark! 🙏🏼 That means a lot man! Second Helping was Ed’s favorite. He called it a masterpiece. I agree. More coming on tones. 🤘🏼
HA! You hit the nail on the head... both those albums are Masterpieces IMHO... So different but so wonderful. You just don't hear that kind of thoughtful composition and songwriting any more. Unique band from a unique time...
@@seraines that yellow strat sounds great and is cool looking too…
Such a cool song that I never heard until I stumbled on your tutorial. I finally figured it out with your help. Thanks for taking the time to break it down. I also used Amazing Slowdowner to listen to the little nuances that you capture so well. You've become my go-to guitar instructor for Skynyrd. Appreciate all the effort you go through, owe you a big thanks Scott.
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Spot on Brocephus!
Dig that strat “snap”!
I love that story about ed and you! Cool stuff! I could listen to those kind of stories all ay! Thanks scott!
Dude I have been wanting to learn this for years you are crushing it!!!! Yeah! Thanks you!
Get on it! 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
@@seraines Yeah I hit it pretty hard, think I have it mostly nailed down... may I request you do a 'I Know a Little' tutorial..? I watched a couple UA-cam vids I think you could do a better job. Also watched your Whiskey Rock-a-Roller good stuff! Takes me back to high school haha.
Swamp Music is my favorite song ever and ever - amen .

While this wasn't their most popular song it shows their creative genius. The lyrics and guitar parts are... swampy for sure and all over a I-IV-V chord structure.
I remember when you did this 3 years ago, I'm just getting to it now. Time flies. Hope you are well Scott! God Bless and thanks for doing this video.
I grew up in 70's as a young guitar player learning. that first Skynyrd album was a huge part of my learning by ear of course. Molly Hatchet, Blue Oyster Cult, Tom Petty and the Heart breakers had their first album out. Aeroskiths first album was a great learning tool also. I messaged Ed one day because I had some old pictures of him from the tribute tour. I was working as an IA stagehand at that show. My buddy was a professional photographer and the Steward that day and he took some great pictures. I asked him if he wanted them and told him that I cut my teeth on the first 3 or 4 Skynyrd albums and loved his playing and asked him a couple of questions about those parts and I was pleasantly surprised that nhe actually answered me. what a nice fellow. He passed a couple of years after that. I'm still sad. I knew he had heart problems but didn't know he had an actual transplant. What a guy. My Brother was also at that show in Pittsburgh when Ed quit. Of course we didn't know that but putting 2 and 2 together my brother told me that half the band was so drunk they had to bring chairs out for them to finish the show and Ronnie was really drunk.
We were spoiled in that era. Those that you mentioned and Rush, Heart, Eagles. Every day was filled with hits songs. Try to find something good now.
Ronnie was a mean drunk. I read an interview where Billy Powell said when the plane crashed, he knew instantly that Ronnie was dead, and he was relieved that it was finally over. Powell was one of Ronnie's favorite punching bags and had actually knocked his two front teeth out for playing the intro to Freebird too long.
He said before the crash he had told himself enough is enough and wanted to quit the band.
Ronnie had also, in a drunken rage, broke a bottle and cut Gary's hands telling him he would never play guitar again. There are some pictures of Gary playing with bandaged hands.And Ed left in the middle of a tour because Ronnie was out of control and threatened him.
Of all the songs on this channel that I’ve been playing for years THIS one I’m happy to say I was playing ( mostly) right. The other songs I’ll admit you took me to school! This one too but again I almost had this one. Great channel!
Nicely done Scott...RIP Ed
Amazing sound and a very cool lesson 👌🏼
Thanks! Awesome video. Watched it when you first put it out a year ago and it really got me back into Skynard. (I needed help focusing on positive things during Covid). Seems like half the songs in our sets were Skynard back in the 70s. (Never really played it right...UNTIL NOW!!!!). I also got me one of them guitars from the 80s too. Really hate adjusting the truss rod on it! (fortunately I rarely need to get after it). Very fun. Really appreciate your insights to Ed Kings perspective on all your vids.
Loved this. From the start to the end.
And your a smart player, you know😀
thanks brother, that was great as usual
Keep uploading more tutorials ...more will subscribe .amazing lessons.
Ed used to live not far from me In Belleplain State Forrest. Another fine lesson, can’t wait to see y’all again here in New Jersey
Great job you just got yourself a faithful follower
You got that tone on point damn
Great stuff!
Wow. You're very talented. Thanks for the video.
absolute great video scott !!! and a spot on description of eds hilarious "most interesting man in the world" type personalty......the last time i was on the dock at the hell house location, i had swamp music on my mind while sitting there wondering if some of the lyrics came from that exact same spot. It is surely is swampy right where it is located.
Swamp Music is my favorite song ever and ever - amen .
Check my general comment .
Pretty impresive old son. Thanks for this. I like the part "put the needle on the record", bring back memories!
just as i like to listen to this song over and over - a thousand times over
i really enjoy seeing and hearing your attitude when taking about how much attitude is in this song !
attitude and altitude
a similar attitude and altitude i find in ' you got that right ' ! ! !
maybe you can make a video on that one ? !
That's some fancy stuff. Very nice! 🔥
Wow such a cool song. Had not heard that in a while. Interesting, my studies in Travis picking helped me, at least pick up the intro. It amazes me how fast and greasy smooth all these songs were. Over the top musicianship . . .Thanks for breaking it down.
Great work and tone. These parts fit the song so well and really accent Ronnie and vice versa. It’s incredible the way they weaved three guitars into individual parts that stand out yet do not so much they take away from the song. This is only accomplished IMHO by jamming together as a band for countless hours, something sadly missing from most of today’s music.
I agree. 👍🏼
No wonder Ed (finally) invited you over. This is fantastic.
That song was a guitar masterpiece
I agree!
Awesome tutorial !!
Great tone !!
Love it !!!!!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thanks for breaking this down Scott. I now know how to play this song correctly.
Nailed it. That's it buddy. Note for note. Thanks for sharing
So glad I found your video. Swamp Music was the first song I ever heard by Skynyrd on FM album play.
Great playing. I’ve been trying to play this.... But man I was so far off on a lot of it. Thanks for sharing your playing.
great lesson Scott! I feel like you're revealing the true inner secret licks of Skynyrd. some are so subtle but they really add so much to the song. Ive learned so much from this vid and your tutorial on 'Whiskey Rock A Roller. I too bought my Strat new in '77 when I was a Senior in hs. I still have it and everyone thinks its a reissue cause it plays so nice and still looks new. probably the worst decade for Fender, but I got lucky. Really appreciate everything you put into your lessons. Hope to catch APB some day!
Thanks Scott, I always wanted to play this, I wish I could’ve been a fly on the wall when you got together with Ed, it is unfathomable, how he went from the Strawberry alarm clock, ( which I totally didn’t like ) to being the driving force in Skynyrd. Allen and Gary are no doubt great, but Ed really provided something foundational and his counterpoint was always spot on,just unbelievable.
Good job Scott
WOW! Swamp Music perfection!
Hey Scott I also bought my first electric guitar in 1980. I was 14 and saved up the money for it working at my Uncles restaurant. It’s a Les Paul and I still have it and play it today. Skynyrd was then, and still is my favorite. Thanks for the videos brother! Keep on rockin’!
I wish I had the ones I sold! Except the Steve Stevens Hamer. Couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. The only one I ever bought on the internet without playing it first. I’ll NEVER do that again.
I'm down in Spartanburg so you're just up the big hill from me. Glad to find your page. Subscribed!
This tune will never not absolutely kick ass 🔥
Thank you
I absolutely love your playing, long live Skynyrd.✝️🛐✡️
LOVE SCOTTS VIDEOS
Great great lesson buddy....i dont think i ever get the songs exactly right... but ill die trying.
