Agree with you. Had I not had a nerve damage on my right hand, that totally destroys my agility, I would drop the pick entirely. But luckily I can lean on the pick now and let my left hand do most of the job
This is wayyy too weird. I'm already a subscriber and have been learning from your videos for around 2 years now. I heard Sultans of Swing on the radio this morning and decided I'd learn it this evening. I knew you didn't have a video on it so I just typed "Sultans of Swing guitar lesson" into the search bar and lo and behold, your video comes up uploaded 1 day ago! The stars have aligned.
Trying to learn this at the moment and just found your video. I have to say it's the best out there - well explained, and very accurate tab. Thank you.
the more jazz music I learn, makes learning anything else such as this solo so much easier.. wish I would've known that a long time ago. thanks for the lesson great job
🎉been learning this solo for months and guess what ,I nailed the first solo in 2 days . Beginner like me should thank all the teachers on u tube for their patient and hard work , you are doing one of the best ever . THANK YOU from Msia .
I just landed on your channel for the first time. I too got my first guitar in 1983 at age 12. In my elementary school you had to join the Rush army or the Van Halen army. My early influence was Alex Lifeson. Interesting parallels. Take care. Mark
Awesome. Thank you for sharing that. Van Halen was certainly my #1, but Rush eventually became a big one for me too. I can't tell you how many times I listened to Exit Stage Left, although I really love all the Rush albums from the first through Signals.
Thank you you are amazing too bad I don't live near you I would become a great guitarist keep helping people it's the best thing to do for people who don't have money to learn music God bless you
Hello! My Friend, my dream is to learn to play this song. I Really like this song since I first heard it in the 70s. I already have a little base. Of all the people I've seen teaching this song, you were the only one who had the best explanations. I Will try to practice it again. I hope to be patient, because this song is not easy. Thank you so much! I'm from Brazil. 🇧🇷🤘🎸
Ritchie Kotzen learned this solo and said," Hold my beer." Still our man is flexing on us with this solo. Like it's nothing. I know guys that play this flawlessly with a pick and without. I refuse to learn this solo on principles. No one should be able to play this good. Bravo, Sir!
Its very very clear lesson. I dont have words to tell you. Thank you again and again. Although may you have strength to do this kind of lesson in the future . Thank you.🎸
You are an amazing player! I can't wait to play this song even as it is half good as you .Thank you so much for a great teaching.Keep up your other great jobs my friend! All my thumbs up if I have more thumbs 😂 😂
Thank you for your awesome lesson it is much appreciated especially using your fingers I have been learning using a pick but it's so great to see this lesson 😀
Awesome lesson sir,you are magnificent,love your explanation ,probably the best I've ever heard of this song,sultans of swing,ty again sir,I will practice this over and over till I get right ,cant wait to hear more from you,God bless you from TEXAS
You made a solution for my playing problems mostly on the second solo...thanks bro...new subacriber here from Philippines...keep on uploaading helpful guitar solos...God bless you
This lesson is well explain in a simple way to learn the solos without complication. I recomend this vedeo to other learners. It/s a fine way to practice if You do
Fabulous! Thank you so much! This is one of my top 10 songs, all-time... and seems more accessible than the hair metal pyrotechnics (but no less tasty)
Hey thanks Mike! What's funny is that when I first learned this song as a teenager, I would always play it with a high gain tone instead for fun to make it more rockish :)
Awesome. Finger pick challenge accepted. I can't operate a pick to save my soul anyway. I often use the nail on my pointer finger for my downstroke pick needs if what I'm playing doesn't require upstrokes. I guess I should put in the work but I've developed some interesting techniques to work around this self imposed handicap.
Great lesson ,have watched this and hit me with your best shot solo .really like the way you break it down and offer some playing tips, how about adding what equipment /soft ware you use and settings .Will certainly be checking out all your videos
I'm surprised you didn't use your new Suhr guitar since it looks a lot like the MK1 guitar that Knopfler used to play. Anyways that was spot on awesome bro.
Thanks! And actually I recorded it with the new Suhr too to see how it would compare to the real Strat tone... well, the real Strat won simply because it is a real Strat tone. The Suhr with the MK mod comes close though! :)
Fabulous lesson. One suggestion. Play once with the chords backing track, so we know how and when to play to solos. In this song, its a bit complicated.
BEST LESSON EVER on these two solo's. You not only showed EXACTLY what you're doing you EXPLAINED it as well. AWESOME!!
been playing for over 30 years .. never got used to a pick ... never felt right ... great stuff with Dire Straits .. legend ..
Agree with you. Had I not had a nerve damage on my right hand, that totally destroys my agility, I would drop the pick entirely. But luckily I can lean on the pick now and let my left hand do most of the job
Two solos, one lesson! I hope you enjoy these classic solos! ❤🎸
jezz dude...where you been? welcome back. always wanted to learn this...guess, I'll have to take a break from VH
I've been looking for this a long time. A lesson with tabs in small bits that I can use with looper for youtube. Man, you are the greatest. Thanks!
Thanks duds!!
Thanks

I fully agree. Still trying to make it fluently. However, this definitely one of the best explanations. Especially the woody woodpecker remark.
Thank you from France.

Sweet sounding tone Dave ! That slightly out of phase Strat sound you cover perfectly.
