Check out The Almans Live at Filmore East it is like A WHOLE ALBUM of one long solo jam UNQUESTIONABLY the greatest live album ever recorded and would go as far as saying maybe the greatest Rock album ever recorded period!!!
Dude literally best tutorial there is for this song. Not even 2 minutes in and it already sounds like the original. Many on TH-cam are played weird and wrong this by far is the best one thank you
Thank you for this phenomenal lesson Tim! It is amazing how genius those young guys were in their writing! Alan was playing amazingly fast and intricate fills before ANYone and no one knows his name!
I learn allot from your videos, Tim, but being a "free" teacher myself, i have learned allot about being a better teacher from your videos. You are happy, enthusiastic calm and clear in your delivery and show what I firmly believe. ....music is a flexible artform subject to multiple interpretations and techniques. Thank you for helping to demystify some of this classic rock. Your upbeat attitude is contagious. My students want you to learn spanish.....😯
Tim, I don't put much about me on the internet, as i can barley keep up with my physical life. But look up TATEWARI or TATEWARI BAND (youtube). The 3 young men started taking lessons with me at 12-14 yo. Now in their 20's, 2 have completed college, and they just cut their 4th cd. Other kids play in local bands, helping put tortillias on the table. Others....well, you know what playing music does to enrich your life, even if just a hobby.
Just brilliant Tim. I am an instructor myself and I really agree with and enjoy your style. I am always telling students not to get to caught up in the "tabs". Play songs in a way that is comfortable to you. Thanks!
Fantastic Tim. Just bought my first strat after 40 years playing folk guitar. This is a great start on electric guitar. Thanks so much. Philip, Rennes, Brittany, France.
Ed long was a brilliant guitar player. Tim I’d like for you to break down “I know a little “ Steve Gaines , or “You got that right” great ditties going on in those songs Steve Gaines was soooooo up and coming!!! He is missed.
Great lesson! Perfect timing.. Performing this in a couple of weeks. Many thanks. 😎🎸👍 UPDATE: It's been 7 days since I found this amazing tutorial. Last night we rehearsed this song & others with full band. VOILA!! It sounds freakin great thanks in large part to this tutorial. Thank you so much!!
Tim I have played this song for years but you, sir, just schooled me big time. NOW I can say I've learned how to play it. YOU are the consummate teacher. What an amazing person you are. I've finally worked out intricacies if this song that I hadn't mastered before now. THANK YOU!!! You rock! (Literally, ha ha.)
Hey Tim, great lesson and great factoid about The Strawberry Alarm Clock. Here's an even better one: I saw the group back in 1967, and the opening act was a guy no one had ever heard of. His name was Jimi Hendrix. Yes, he had the big hair, the wild clothes, and lit his royal blue Stratocaster on fire. Just imagine seeing him, and not knowing what to expect. He literally blew everyone away....and stole the show. Talk about a tough act to follow!! Ed King probably never forgot it.
Although I've heard this a million times I had to learn this fast for a gig and this tutorial got me quickly where I needed to be. I also highly recommend Tim's Masterclass for getting my playing back on track. Thanks Tim!
Tim you should think about running seminars to show others how to explain and demonstrate a guitar piece... not too hot, not too cold, just right... simply the best! Thank you Mg
I love the way you give options and keep the songs free and flexible whilst still sounding right. To me that's what rock's all about. And I hear you with the small hands thing. I have the same problem and was beginning to think it was my technique!
Tim, thank you very much for doing this video, Skynyrd is My Main Band, I saw them before they made records. I first saw them in Atlanta Georgia, they were playing at a Bar called Funochio's , that weekend i was there, i got to meet them. And I got to meet Al Cooper, this is the Famous weekend that Al Discovered them at Funochios.. I was 17 years old then, and I will never forget that night.. Please keep the videos coming Tim, I have learned A Bunch from you, Thank You, you are the Best, Cheers, Cousin Figel
Tim, I don't think I know of a better teacher...your directed piece by piece knowledge is excellent and I am grateful...Thank you and keep em coming! Now maybe so Queen?
Hey maestro l'love your lessons guitar ,l'm living in France ... thankful for your help l'am 54 years ( a young beginner 🤣👀🎶✌️) thank you maestro for all . Salva .Martín
Tim, thank you for this. I played this song for years, but missed important aspects and nuances. Just the few videos of yours I have tuned into have resulted in me becoming a significantly better player. You are a PHENOMENAL guitarist, a fabulous teacher, and such a nice person who I would love to have for friend.
Thanks for helping an older- not so cool- dude get in touch with my inner teenager from the 70's. You are sorta like a Yoda for a guy who actually saw the original movie when it first came out!!!
One of my favorite bands as well. These guys are great guitarists. No wonder I liked them so much when I was a kid. Thanks for helping me improve upon my version of this great classic song.
Man Tim Pierce, you really are a blessing. I sure hope people give respect for what your doing here. you are in my opinion, the best out there as a working guitar player, and a teacher. Not to mention charitable for us poor bastards! I would absolutely be blessed to see your Allman brothers soulshine guitar lesson. its one of my absolute favorite tastey blues lick songs, but finger positions arent the easiest for my little fingers! Thank you for all your time...its so appreciated.
Hey Tim Chris Wintrip here. The pull off riff you’re demonstrating is G A G G B G G then bend C bent up to D. I’ve played with Ed King years ago. Check out his TH-cam video Ex King with Marty Schartz on Sweet Home Alabama. Thanks for all you do! Excellent series. I’ve taught privately since 1967 and your channel inspired me to create my own “Musician’s Emporium. would love to sit in with you sometime.
I checked that video out just yesterday, tons of info on getting Ed's part right. There's always a lot going on in a Skynyrd tune. Such a full sound with the other two guitars, plus the keyboard, bass, and drums. It's very hard picking one particular piece out. I try to combine the most important parts out of the guitars to create it as close as I can. But I do think Ed opens the tune up.
Really awesome Tim... Thanks. Have seen a few lessons of Sweet Home Alabama but this is surely the most rich one. Thanks for the usual boost of motivation and great insights!
How many bands have we seen that play the guitar solo in the D pentatonic scale. It becomes magic when it is realized that it’s in the key of G major 😊
Haha 3 people have disliked this, your a fantastic teacher Tim , you don't treat us like we are all complete numpties, all though clearly 3 of us are this is free knowledge, it takes alot of time and thought to produce this kind of quality veep them coming Tim and thank you on behalf of the real guitar players out there
Thank you Tim . I love your master class ❤🎸📝🔏💡🧠🫡 working hard to get out of the intermediate guitar cell/prison . I’m learning so much about tones and how to mix more tones on the guitars I have. It’s a great lesson on which guitars need work or thinned out again.😊
I love this song but always found myself messing around with just the basic structure. With LS' three guitar players I often got lost on which direction I should take. Thank you for breaking it down and demonstrating how to get to those beautiful little nuggets that I so often missed
Ed King plays all the Strat parts on the song. Co-writer Gary Rossington plays a Les Paul and plays the arpeggios underneath Ed's parts. Ed walked into rehearsal one day and Gary was already playing the D, C, G chord arpeggios. Ed playing to that, put his part over the top of that. Allen Collins plays a Firebird and plays all the barre chord rhythms and the harmonics Tim mentions. At least live he did. No idea who played those in the studio.
Thank you for all your lessons and videos @TimPierce,You are a true inspiration for all guitar players and musicians and a real guitar hero! Thank you! :-) Keep em' coming..
Hi Tim, I found you on a Norm's Rare guitars video. You are the real deal. The Mac Daddy of guitars teachers. I will be going to your videos the next time I want to lean the right way. Thanks for all the great videos
Tim the way Ed King plays the pull off riff at 5.50 is he does the first pull off at 2nd fret G string not 4th fret, then 4th fret then bend 5th fret to 7th and the riff at 3.00 starts with a Bb to B rather than a hammer on to B from the open A.
I would probably be one of the students that make you quit teaching. But I love your videos Tim! You are awesome! I have never been a jealous man but I’ve heard myself say oh God! I wish……
This song has so many layers to it. Once you get the parts nailed, the phrasing is something else altogether. Thanks for the lesson.
🎸🤔
Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Outlaws defined my High School listening repertoire. Thanks Tim. The video took me back 40 years!

I love watching you break a song down. You're an amazing teacher.
Thank you for this phenomenal lesson Tim!
It is amazing how genius those young guys were in their writing!
Alan was playing amazingly fast and intricate fills before ANYone and no one knows his name!
Never really wanted to learn this song but Tim you're such a good teacher.
I Love how you explain about the pick ups and hitting the strings in order to have clean sounds
For me, this is the absolute best guitar tutorial for this classic southern rock song on TH-cam!
I learn allot from your videos, Tim, but being a "free" teacher myself, i have learned allot about being a better teacher from your videos.

RIP Ed King... A fellow Panorama City brother in arms. Great vid Tim one of the few that actually get it right!
This was the best lesson on TH-cam for these riffs! Great job, thank you sir!! A true musician you are...
such a relief to find a lesson by a guitarist who actually knows how to play (and teach)
Just brilliant Tim. I am an instructor myself and I really agree with and enjoy your style. I am always telling students not to get to caught up in the "tabs". Play songs in a way that is comfortable to you. Thanks!
Tim IS the guitar man! Awesome again, Tim. Thank you very much.
Fantastic Tim. Just bought my first strat after 40 years playing folk guitar. This is a great start on electric guitar. Thanks so much. Philip, Rennes, Brittany, France.

I've finally worked out intricacies if this song that I hadn't mastered before now.

Nobody ever plays this right.
Awesome tutorial Tim.
✌️

Thank you TIM, you're a great musician and a kind person.

Thank you Tim I’ve learned a lot from your Lessons. God bless you🕊✝️
Thank you Mr. Pierce. You are AWESOME!!!
Great lesson , the muting ,pull-offs explained so well, a must tune for southern audiences
Thanks Tim
Although I've heard this a million times I had to learn this fast for a gig and this tutorial got me quickly where I needed to be. I also highly recommend Tim's Masterclass for getting my playing back on track. Thanks Tim!
Masterclass! Surely one of the most iconic of all all guitar parts. Thanks Tim. 👏👏👏
You sir are a legend. Your style and especially technique blows my mind.
Awesome Tim🎸《☆》Working for MCA is my favorite LYNYRD☠️SKYNYRD song. It's got some more Ed King riffs & solos that have stood the test of time✌️🤠☯️
Tim you should think about running seminars to show others how to explain and demonstrate a guitar piece... not too hot, not too cold, just right... simply the best!
Thank you

Thanks Tim, you rock brother! You will always be my guitar hero! Buddy
Tim is like a comfy blanket when he teaches
Those solos are always so refreshing!

You are the best youtube teacher of this song
great lesson, you are such an incredible player Tim!
Thanks for the video nicely done and easy to follow!
Haha 3 people have disliked this, your a fantastic teacher Tim , you don't treat us like we are all complete numpties, all though clearly 3 of us are this is free knowledge, it takes alot of time and thought to produce this kind of quality veep them coming Tim and thank you on behalf of the real guitar players out there

I love this song but always found myself messing around with just the basic structure. With LS' three guitar players I often got lost on which direction I should take. Thank you for breaking it down and demonstrating how to get to those beautiful little nuggets that I so often missed
My favorite practice song, Tim. I like to wear this song out sometimes.
Ed King plays all the Strat parts on the song. Co-writer Gary Rossington plays a Les Paul and plays the arpeggios underneath Ed's parts. Ed walked into rehearsal one day and Gary was already playing the D, C, G chord arpeggios. Ed playing to that, put his part over the top of that. Allen Collins plays a Firebird and plays all the barre chord rhythms and the harmonics Tim mentions. At least live he did. No idea who played those in the studio.
The chorus hack is fantastic!
Thank you for all your lessons and videos @TimPierce,You are a true inspiration for all guitar players and musicians and a real guitar hero! Thank you! :-) Keep em' coming..
your way to describe is amazing, very sowly again and again !! you are a perfect teacher !!! thank you
Absolutely superb lesson! Picking up so much from this and I thought I knew this song!!
👍 il piú completo che ho trovato su you tube, anche senza capire l' inglese, mi é stato utilissimo grazie maestro! ,🎸🤟
Bang Tim! As usual, beyond anything that can be put in words
Hi Tim, I found you on a Norm's Rare guitars video. You are the real deal. The Mac Daddy of guitars teachers. I will be going to your videos the next time I want to lean the right way. Thanks for all the great videos
best lesson on TH-cam thanks Tim 👍
Never realised how much similarity there is in this riff to steve miller band.. awesome lesson ..thanks tim
It's the clean Strat tone
Thank you for this, Sir! My band got the idea to do this, and your ideas are MUCH better than the barre chords I default to.
Tim, from Bama, great job bro, I'm a fan since you played in the affair of the heart video. You rock man.
You are one of my fav guitarist, great tone, feel and precision! Keep up the awesome work!
Tim the way Ed King plays the pull off riff at 5.50 is he does the first pull off at 2nd fret G string not 4th fret, then 4th fret then bend 5th fret to 7th and the riff at 3.00 starts with a Bb to B rather than a hammer on to B from the open A.
Yeah I can't believe he misses the pull off part I thought that was the easy part. But the Bb part a lot of people miss
im glade i found ya tim
Thank you for that it was nice and the way you were patient and thorough
According to Ed King, the guy who wrote it, the fill, after the G starts with a Bb, not an A.
Ed called out Zakk Wyld for an early TH-cam video of Zakks old cover band doing a lackluster version of Sweet Home Alabama✌️😁☯️
Wrong, it can be both but on Second Helping album it’s the A note.
Ed King actually did a tutorial on this song. He's not playing it correctly
Exactly the turnaround starts with a b flat note
That was a fantastic lesson!
Wow that was thorough and much appreciated.
Tim you get all the little nuances of a song. Thanks!
Tim Pierce for president!!!!
Great Job! Tim you make so much easier, just a Great Teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the best lesson! very accurate explaynation, thank's!
Great lesson video, thanks for sharing your video with us
Really do appreciate these lessons Tim! Thanks!
A sharp start on the turnaround fill, Tim. Watch Ed.
Never thought to play the chorus irst position! OUTSTANDING! :)
Thanks for this... I had to learn this one... Very helpful lesson. 😎
It's actually scary how amazing you are at guitar
Great vid. Great teacher. Really appreciate it. Thank you Tim.
Excellent , excellent, excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Might have been here commenting before but what a lesson!
Thank you for a great lesson Tim! really enjoyed it!
Tim Pierce for President 2016!
Tim...you are awesome! Thank you
I would probably be one of the students that make you quit teaching.
But I love your videos Tim! You are awesome! I have never been a jealous man but I’ve heard myself say oh God! I wish……
Love this song, thanks for the lesson Tim.
Ed King!
Classic rock song !
