- Learn the moveable guitar riff found in "Listen To The Music", "Sweet Home Alabama", "The Wind Cries Mary", and other songs. This is one of many riff and lick shapes you can find in my free web app "The Building Blocks Of Rock", available here:
guitarviz.com/bbr.html
It's just a web page, all you have to do is open it. Nothing to download, and you don't need to sign up for anything.
The first half of the video is an overview of this common riff shape, which lives in between the two basic barre chord shapes, in a part of the fretboard map many players are less familiar with. You'll learn how to move it around the neck based on the underlying chord, the different ways of playing it, and see how it fits into scales and music theory.
The second half of the video is a lesson on how to play this lick in "Sweet Home Alabama and "Listen To The Music". You'll get lots of detail on "Listen To The Music", to help you learn the strumming pattern, and also the interesting chord shapes and riffs found in the rest of the song. All of the lesson is filmed from the player viewpoint, including the pick hand.
I also discuss Marty Schwartz' interview with Ed King, the Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist who came up with the main guitar parts. You can find Marty's interview with Ed here:
• Ed King's Guitar Colle...
Ed shows Marty how he plays it starting at around 23:15.
Please leave any comments or questions. I do read them all!
cheers, Kevin
p.s. my guitar may be slightly off standard tuning in a few places in the video. I'll be more careful next time!

I’ve struck gold finding this channel 😮😮
Exactly what I said!
True dat!
Right?!
I agree too!
Me too.
There’s lots of ‘how’ videos out there but hard to find ‘why’ ones. This was amazing. Thanks!
It is no surprise to me that this channel is blowing up so quickly - this is exactly what most guitarists want to see.
I been playing guitar for 15 years & I wish you were around when I was learning. This is great tutorials.
Hopefully every beginner/intermediate players click on your videos.
Agree , never too late
I‘m playing for 40 years and I knew how to play the songs showcased here. But still there have been some nuggets for me.
I don't know how you figured all of this stuff out, but I'm glad you did.
your content is amazing and better than most other online guitar tutors. thank you for your contribution to this art. you are a great man.
Not even 10 minutes “in,” and I’m subscribed. This is 24 karat GOLD. Diamonds, too!
Thank you for doing this series. I know a fair bit of theory (a long slow road). And in my studies, I have noticed that there are certain common "shapes" or little bits and pieces that are used by a lot of guitarist that are fragments or pieces of particular pentatonic shapes (Like the Albert King box).
Over time, I too, have built up a little catalogue of these parts and pieces.
But the way you show the shape, show some familiar songs, and demonstrate how to work around them is exactly what a lot of us need or could have used early on.
Keep it up.
If you have a chance, look at some of Slash's soloing. He often plays a shape over the five chord and slides it back 2 frets and plays the same motif over the 4 chord. That would be a good one to discuss.
You have the best teaching style for those of us that have a solid guitar foundation and want to take it to the next level. Much appreciated.🎸🎵🎶
It’s always an exciting moment to see a new building blocks of rock video! I’m starting to digest the major CAGED shapes so it’s really helpful to dive deeper and see these shapes put to use in all the classics.
Super approachable way of teaching! Thanks for the fantastic instruction!
❤️this is the only Guitar YT channel i need in my life. So glad i came across it by accident!🤣
Just found this guy a fre weeks back. Dude takes out all the bullshit and makes it easy to follow and understand.
Thank you sir.
Keep them coming.
Kevin, you're a fountain of easy listening knowledge. Thanks for all you're going, I (and other's, I'm sure) look forward to each video!
Love your videos! Love the way you teach shapes and how riffs are played with the shapes. Best guitar channel in my opinion!
Best instructional guitar video on UA-cam. Subscribed a minute in
I stumbled upon your channel with your video introducing your app. I've watched every video since. You've now become my favourite guitar channel.
Knocking basics out of the park yet again!!! Very cool how you show how different songs share similar building blocks but also then get into the specific fine details as well. 👏
It is all becoming clear now. Thank you so much . Your examples and explanations are making so much make sense.
You've become the definitive reference for Listen To The Music. Nice breakdowns. I'm in for the long haul now. Can't wait for the next vid. Thanks
You my friend are an amazing patient teacher and that is,greatly appreciated
Finding this channel has really been the highlight of my guitar journey for the past few years. Love the content. Not many people are explaining the theory or giving examples. Thank you
This is great for newer Praise and Worship players as the chord chart often calls for "slash" chords such as D/F#. The third in the bass sounds great!!!
Your videos are absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for what you do. Your way of teaching is so refreshing. It's so much fun and inspiring to learn all these building blocks as you call them. I'm sitting here with my guitar having a blast. 🎸😊👍🎸
Thèse videos and series are awesome!!!! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Love your style of teaching and look forward to your next lesson ❤
This is the first video ive ever been compelled to comment on after years of watching youtube. Thanks for the great content. Your app is fantastic. All aspects are greatly appreciated. Kudos for the player view. I've been wanting for someone to do that since I stated to learn guitar a couple of years ago. So brilliant! Thanks again!
Absolutely brilliant lesson. I’m new to the channel and love it. I’ve been playing for years and stuck.. this lesson was like unlocking a new level. Thanks a million 🙏☘️☘️☘️
Simply one of the best instructional videos! Thank you for sharing and showing! I’ve been fumbling around rhythm guitar many decades and you’ve shown me some of my favourites I’d never learnt!
Another top lesson - keep them coming. Loving your work. Its adding some great bits and pieces for my playing that i havent really picked up from anywhere else (other than when studying specific songs and your knowledge of songs is WAY wider than mine).
Really looking forward to the next video. Excellent video my friend.
Thanks so much for this and all your other videos. These are THE BEST guitar tutorials and learning tools on UA-cam I've ever come across, period. You are really helping me along the improvement journey. Your app is brilliant. Thank you again for all your wisdom. 👏 👏 👏
I just happened upon you while looking for more information on power chords and chord alternatives. But what I really needed is what I found here! Implementation with real life, real songs, and explanations. Your website is very interesting. I’ve never seen anything quite like it and trust me I’ve been looking. I have subscribed and look forward to learning more. Thank you!!!!!
This is exactly what I have been needing, the nuanced riffs that are essential. I've mastered all the pentatonic positions major and minor and know some songs but really need to build my stockpile of rifts and licks. This is very helpful. Really appreciate your content!
I cannot thank you enough for this series. My interest in playing has gone up 1,000% since finding your channel. I had been working on scales as the entree to improvising, but learning these licks is so much more useful and immediately applicable to songs I really want to play.
What a brilliant teacher and teaching method this is by far the Chanel I have been searching for a very long time. It goes without saying I have subscribed and of course hit the like button which I’m sure everyone else will also do, it’s the very least we can do.
Once again thanks and I am eagerly looking forward to your next lesson.
Man, you are a gem. This is great information and the app is great. This really helps fill in some blanks
Love these videos! Please keep’em coming.
im so touched by you doing this for us, even without knowing us. thank you so much!
I've been playing for *years* and I've always bee frustrated that some of my licks just don't sound right. This guy comes along and shows me what I've been doing wrong in the first 15 seconds. lol
Great concepts. I really like your videos. Lots of great information.
Thank you for the very nice lesson!
This guy is a genius...we all kind of knew this but he put it into an app and practice...
thanks for your videos! i find your approaching to guitar lessons quite interesting! :)🎸
Really appreciate this channel, just found it and needless to say subscribed.. THANKS !
Amazing teaching skills … Thanks from Spain !!!
Thanks, best video ever i saw about these Riffs !!
thank you for a great lesson- great instructional video- what a great guitar player you are!!!!
Dude...this channel is fire!
wow, that SG sounds amazing...
Many thanks for sharing,I find this channel so informative.
Good job,thank you!!
Usted es un muy buen guitarrista!!
Nicely explained, thank-you 👏
Been waiting all week 😊
You're the best. Thank you so much for all this and your site!
Awesome lesson! Thanks
Love your videos mate, thanks! I've been playing guitar for a long time but my 'riffs, licks and tricks' knowledge is severely lacking. These videos have given me some great tools to use in between around regular chords.
Thanks Kevin, love the channel.
Brilliant explanation.
Amazing guitarist and teacher thank you.
A light 💡 has come on for me again …. I can really see the A shape the G shape and the E and how they relate and connect … the inversion thing just became clearer … another piece of the puzzle 🧩 👍🏻
Gem of a channel. Keep going and you'll be huge.
Excellent teacher 😊😊😊
Really good teacher ❤
The pace and detail are brilliant, thanks. You really understand what it's like to be the learner, peering at the screen going what did he do there?
Thank you so much for this channel. Soooo appreciated
Thanks this is really valuable info presented in an accessible way
I love what you’re doing here and that you referenced Marty. I’ve learned so much from him on his channel, how he teaches a version of a song has been so accessible to me. However as I’ve started to learn some music theory I’ve become fascinated in the “why” riffs or progressions work or sound great.
From what I have seen so far this is a fantastic complement to those kinds of lessons. Before I’d been taught some CAGED and scales this lesson would have been great but so much of what’s in here would have gone over my head.
Thank you for putting this together; I now have some great things to go and practice.
I’m just happy to know a fellow Wolves fan is watching this
I love what you do. Can't believe no one has yet. Been looking for something like your site since I got a guitar shaped fire lit under my ass a few months ago.
Wonderful lesson…
Great video… You’re a good teacher!
Great job . Great instruction your others. Keep it up
