This guitar lesson is for a solo acoustic version of "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. For this classic song, I'll show you how to play all of the recognizable riffs and fills you hear during the song: including during the intro, verses, and choruses. I'll also show you how to play the chords used during the entire song, including strumming patterns (both simple and complex).
My aim with this lesson is to give you the core building blocks you'll need to take this song to advanced places, should you wish. I won't cover the solo or 100% note-for-note tab recreations of what each guitar plays during the song, as that's a huge effort and others have done that in many cases.

So I am a self taught guitar player and I've had my fair share of hours on the youtubes searching for decent tutorials but this is by far the best structured video with the best instructor. Gave the preview and didn't mess around with too much dialogue but also gave alternate ways to play for different skill sets. I subscribed and will most likely spend the next couple of hours watching your other vids. Keep it up.

Christopher Alvarez sameeeeee
That sweater really ties the lesson together. ☮️
3 yrs on , this lesson is still giving, grooving and helping us learn.
The only thing its helping me learn is that i suck at guitar
thats sad man just finish learning it
Keep on turning. You will get it eventually
The way you explain and break everything down in simple detailed way is just amazing
Just want to say thank you
Finally! found someone that can take me through the basic "campfire" version all the way to the more complex. Made it so simple. I will be learning this song in no time. Thank you!
damn, your lessons are so good. structured brilliantly. thank you 🙌
+Jasmeher Arora thank you, glad you appreciate them!!
I am discovering guitar at age 52 after growing up on and still listening to guitar “greats” like Trent Reznor Martin L Gore and Section 25 and EDM.
Lynyrd Skynyrd ELO Beatles and the Eagles were the background music of my childhood and going to the races and fishing with my dad I never really gave them much thought.
Now I am discovering “classic rock” as I try to learn guitar and even learning to appreciate the music as I add this genre to my playlist and aspirational list of songs I would love to play someday.
This is all to say thank you for this awesome lesson one of the best of any beginner song I have looked at so far.
Who knew deciding to play around with Serato DJing for my headphones a few years ago would lead me to Ed King and now your channel.
That is a really great lesson. It takes a beginner/intermediate level player like me right through all the stages of putting this classic song together. Thanks and keep up the great work David, you are an excellent teacher!
I like how you arrange this piece into different phases, so beginners can learn piece by piece and feel accomplished instead of facing the boss right from the start.
David, you’re the best! You give all levels of players a chance to become players at their own level, very simplified but accurat. I’ve played the guitar since I was 9 years old……….will turn 68 next year and just love to watch your educational and inspiring lessons. Keep on! 🙌
Such a great teacher. Every explained clearly and without being rushed
i've never felt a need to comment on a youtube video before but this was genuinely so good. broke it down so well and so clearly. thank you from London UK!
Thanks, you're amazing, one of the best teacher in UA-cam, really methodical, slow paced, with all needed visual instructions...thank you...coming here after learning hotel California...
David you do a wonderful job teaching. I have played on and off my whole life and just getting back into it at 60 years of age. You have been a huge help and thanks to you, my fingers are bleeding again! Yahoo! Best regards and thanks!
Hi David, I don't normally leave comments but feel compelled to let you know what an excellent teacher you are, it's much appreciated, please keep it up, cheers, Paul.
Votre façon d'aborder les difficultés est géniale elle évite des heures de travail à l oreille merci
This by far is the best guide out there! It's explained really well and it as close as you can get to the original. Had lots of fun learning this, thank you :)
I've watched every guitar teacher online and some are really good, but you are far and away the best
Really Good tutorial. Clear explanation and graphics, video clearly showed fingering. Kudos 😊
I am self taught also and you boosted my confidence because you played exactly how I have been playing but I use a bit more hammer instead throughout the song. thank you again Davis
best your lessons are so complete.. everything at one place, chord diagrams, notes, theory , demo ..wow
I consider to support this excellent teacher on patreon. He is good :-) and I am getting back to his videos more and more frequently
Really, really good lesson. Possibly the best I ever did on the net in two years. Clear, well paced, supported with the notes. Thanks!
This helped me so much
This guitarist dude is good in his structure of songs. And the thingy i like most about ... He talks less, and when does talk its more towards the structure or chords of the songs. Am self taught and this guitarist speaks clear with LESS accent making learning more productive. Always wanted to learn this classic 70's song and the "TEACHER" has helped my playing of this song while I build on my ability to play. Thank you kind . sir
Love from Malaysia
this is the best Sweet Home Alabama guitar tutorial I have ever watched. Thanks a lot!🙂
Cleanest lesson of all the progressions, on here .Great job.. keep on pluckin.
i dont even play guitar and its 3 am. good video though.
GenryHennis 2 AM for me bro
4 am but I do actually play guitar... for 7 years. I know that song by heart xD
You got a speed habit?
Great, structured lesson.
+boskymyszcz much appreciated 👍 hope it helped.
Man, you're the bestinstructor that i've ever seen on youtube, i am brazilian and don't know speak english, but teach so well and understand everything. You are great, the best of all. Thank you so much
Thanks so much, that means a lot! I hope the lessons continue to be helpful going forward.
What a fantastic teacher!! No bullshit talking just plain simple lesson to make you sound totally awesome 😎
This is one of the best teacher I have seen for an old guy. Thanks
One of the best tutorials have seen. I'm a UA-cam student and this lesson was really good.
Dude these lessons are amazing. Thank you...3 years later
Thanks mate, an excellent tutorial!!
I Love Skynyrd!!👍😎
your clarity is refreshing! Thank you sir.
This is the best guitar lesson I have ever engaged in!!
I've been playing since age 10. I've taken breaks but always return to best friend (along with my dogs). You have refined the songs I learned all alone by the radio as a kid on my old beater. What a revelation it has been. Joyful! I am a 30 year high school computer teacher and I want you to know how incredible of a teacher you are. So much respect for you in every way. I hope you receive the support you need to continue. Never underestimate your value in this often dark world. Music is ultimate gift to humanity. Rock on. Forever, your student, Mrs. B.
I appreciate you doing this for beginners! But folks please understand it's not completely correct. That first lick is hammer on open A, to B, then, open D, hammer on to E (second fret on these) back to hammer on A, to, B, but what your missing is, finger on G string second fret, wipe off, so your playing an A note (on G string second fret) wipe off to the open G string, that's the whole opening lick. Confusing to describe, but that's how Ed King wrote it and recorded it. It's a hard last two notes to pull off, but with practice, you will see it's 100% correct. NOT trying to take away from this lesson, good for beginners, but I am filming the exact notes in my lesson tonight, should be up on UA-cam tonight, my channel is "Dave the guitar guy", I also just give beginner/intermediate lessons. But I can guarantee, I take a ton of time on all my lessons to watch the original artists play the song, so I make sure I get every note correct. I have everything from Pink Floyd, such as "Breathe" to Zac Brown band and everything in between. Thanks again guys! Dave the guitar guy.
Thank you for sharing, you are a good teacher.
This is a completely inspiring video lesson. Even whilst learning, it remains a great way to have fun. I love to see more videos like this one!
Thank you for this great lesson. I usually rush into it until I find that it sounds like the original, instead of taking my time, and going further step by step. Your lessons help me a lot with that.
I’m quite experienced. I love your lesson and approach! Incredible building block approach.
Thanks, enjoying your straight forward explanations. Have done this song before but you have added a lot more clarity.
Most excellent ~ Thank You, ..great instruction bringing song from my youth , on guitar, to a whole new level. Love the Music Notes sheets (have several) ✌️👍👌
Man! where have you been hiding all this time!! I stopped playing the guitar for a while and you bring me back the joy of playing the guitar, you are the most complete guitar teaching guy I have ever seen
Thanks a lot, you have a new follower
This is by far the best guitar tutorial i have ever seen
You good sir are a great and brilliant teacher
Great lesson, and +1 for the sweater, The Dude abides.
I need this song on my guitar to take onto my cousins room
🤣

That's some high quality video you did here, well structured yet not boring, thank you very much !
This helped refresh my memory on how to play it, thanks a bunch! I recentyl started playing again and got a new acoustic to go with my les pau I've had for a year, and I recently remembered this song and dlooked up how to play and found you.
Thank you very much, David. Fantastic teaching, you go into very useful techniques and styles, so complete, was a pleasure. God bless you 🙏

MOREAU DAVID
Wow amazing tutorial. Thank you
Thank you for your videos, I started trying to play about a week ago and I'm still learning and trying to remember the basic chords and your videos are very helpful and easy to play along with. Thank you again keep up the great videos !
Amazing video! Thank you for the lesson!
Very good instructions. Helped me immensely 👍
What a great lesson. I've been able to pick this up really quickly.. It's broken down in to simple chunks which makes it easier to understand. Thank you.
Outstanding tutorial building from the simplest chords up.. Great job. Thanks.

Excellent lesson from a master instructor! Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into creating such a well structured lesson. I can't thank you enough!
Best lesson on web for this song
Pretty good and clear slow explanation. Thanks
Awesome tuition, awesome jumper, awesome bloke.
5 of slash's mates feel aggrieved
Great lesson, thanks Dude!
Been playing guitar about a month. Loved your video man. Took me two days to get the whole thing down just not at full speed but I got it. The rifts slow me down a little sadly but I’m getting there
Just found your lessons by chance, and I'm so glad I did. Very well explained, easy to follow, and no cutting out the tricky bits that make the song what it is. Thanks for the upload. Subscribed 😊
Great tutorial David. You’ve been a wealth of information and you have a great way of teaching. Not everyone has that quality. 👍
You’re a gifted teacher
THIS IS THE BEST LESSON OUT THERE , AND IT'S VERY UNDERRATED . YOU GIVE GOOD VIBES BRO ☺️
Thank you David as a beginner I sure do appreciate this video, very well done....
Such an excellent fundamental lesson !! Loved it
Great video--well done for us beginners. THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you ! You are a great teacher . So clear information...
Perfect lesson, so easy to understand
Oh wow, this is like several lessons and exercises in one! I'm so glad I was struggling with that hammer on section in the intro of this song from other people's videos or else I wouldn't be subscribed to this amazing channel right now!
I just love your lessons, so easy follow and easy to understand thank you for the effort and time you put into each of these video's.
Excellent lesson. I see you from Spain and I'm going to follow you. I had been stuck with this song for months and thanks to you I think I'll be able to keep improving on it. Thank you
Hey man really enjoyed the tutorial! I really appreciate the structure of the vids on your channel, especially the on-screen tabs and the way you break down each segment of the riffs. Your channel is certainly among the best! Keep up the good work :)
Digging the dudey sweater.
