      I feel that man it all looked so complicated when I was barely starting and I hated trying to learn songs through TH-cam but the more i tried it the easier it became and now I prefer TH-cam videos over tab. Carl is one of the best teachers on here.

      I prefer the videos over tabs too. Tabs just feel like very basic information, to really get the technique you need a good teacher.

    Your lessons are really great. What separates your videos from most others is how that you move slowly and precisely, explaining them all along the way. Most guitarists will appreciate the time and effort you put into every video I have personally seen you put out. Thank you for all that you do. Great work!

    • @greg6162

      What position is this played in on a Strat… I’m thinking position 4 but it looks like he’s using 5? I did see Rhett on TH-cam play the exact Strat Ed King used to record the song and he said position 4 was probably it. I have a new Player Plus Strat and they added some different pickup options with the push/pull selector so I’m not sure if those would be useful. I’m a new player and not very good but I learned the Santeria solo in about a week, but even though this is more difficult I think this I could do it eventually… plus this is the correct version he plays. A lot of people play the wrong one on TH-cam but this guy’s pretty much always on point and tries to stay original with it
      Edit: Why did you say you need more than .5cm to play this… my Strat is pretty amazing for MIM and the fret action is pretty low but it feels good to me stock. Does it affect the playability?

    I have been trying to play this song for a few years now. It just never sounded right to me. After watching the first 2 minutes I now finally know why. I was leaving out a note here and there. I can finally play it RIGHT! I can't wait to learn the whole song now and, not just the opening. Thanks so very much!

    I have a question, I hope you can help 😊
    I’ve been listening to the original recording and I cannot hear the 3-0-3 pattern on the A and E strings at the intro riff. Even slowing down the recording I don’t get it.
    It could easily be my lack of ear training, or maybe that’s present on some versions only.

    Yes - CORRECTLY taught! The UNIQUE thing about Lynyrd Skynyrd was that they took fairly common chord progressions and embellished them with unique fills and phrases . And this is not so much an "easy" song to nail down .... it's the nuances you have to get right to make it sound close to the original - Carl has it down. If yu don't have those little idiosyncrasies that everyone's ear catches ....it just sounds like the avg. beginner/intermediate player playing . Lynyrd Skynyrd was a once in a lifetime band ...it was the chemistry of the people involved - notably the 3 mainstays : Ronnie, Allen & Gary - that gave the band it's "sound" . They were a GREAT band , and always will be a CLASSIC.
