    Swamp Music (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
    I am Scott Raines, guitarist for the Artimus Pyle Band. In this video, I talk about my time with Ed King and how Swamp Music was the catalyst for meeting Ed face to face for the first time. I also break down Ed's guitar parts in the song.
    Enjoy!

      I think the process for the most part was a couple good hook riffs, including bass lines and pretty much an unfinished. Next step is lyrics and when Ronnie heard something he liked he started coming up with lyrics. That's pretty much how most people do it unless the song had already been written by someone else on an acoustic or piano which many great songs were and still are by real musicians. AI is for suckers and fools. You aren't learning a damn thing that way.

    Hi Scott, thank you so much for your great work! I'm 53 now, since Lynyrd Skynyrd hit my ears in the late 70's, I'm addicted to their gorgeous guitar work and compositions. Swamp Music is my all time LS-favourite. I always wanted to play it the right way, but I just didn't know exactly what to do, but you made it!!! Thank you again! I'm looking forward getting more of your perfect tutorials.
    Many regards from Germany

    I’m 67. And I still can’t believe just how good these guys are. My first album was Lynyard Skynyrd Smokes. What 72?. I was the only black person in Beaver Falls Pa. Who knew who in the hell they were. I was in a Play about Hank WilliamsSr. Lonesome Hwy. Where Hank learn to sing from a Street Singer named Tetot. And it reminded me of Ronnie learning from Curtis Lowe. With my Roots from The Delta. And the blues. Yep. Still here. This is the traveling shit.

      i asked chatlbgtxyzump : about foghat being an influencer for LYNYRD SKYNYRD :
      Yes, Foghat was indeed one of the bands that influenced Lynyrd Skynyrd. Foghat, an English rock band formed in the early 1970s, was known for their blues-rock sound characterized by driving rhythms and powerful guitar riffs. Their energetic live performances and blues-infused style resonated with Lynyrd Skynyrd and other southern rock bands of the era. While Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound had its own distinct flavor, they were influenced by the bluesy rock style and stage presence of bands like Foghat, contributing to the overall tapestry of southern rock music.

I'm not joking when I say I probably think of him every day..the power of music I guess, love your playing..regards from England

    Fantastic video and lesson, Scott! One of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite bands. Second Helping is just chock full of great playing and great songs. It's tied with Street Survivors as my favorite Skynyrd album, Ed and Steve Gaines were truly fabulous players, and both offset Gary and Allen perfectly. Great job breaking it all down, and yes, we'd all love to have you guys play through this and other Skynyrd tunes together. I used to listen to that major pentatonic run after the solo over and over- I just thought it was so perfect. Loved the way you wove in the story about meeting Ed, too. I always wished I could have met him and thanked him for all the inspiration. Thanks, man- I can't wait to see what you do next. Great tone from that Strat, too (I'd never heard of that line before, either. I'd love to hear any tips you have about getting Ed's #2 position tone. I own 4 strats, but can't seem to nail it close enough for my tastes. You made my day!

    Great lesson , playing and stories shared about the great Ed King! I’ve always said , there’s not one “better” guitar player from Lynyrd Skynyrd- they were all so great and complimented each other’s styles, yet they were uniquely different. Even after Ed left, Steve fit so well with the Skynyrd sound - everything about the band was like a destined story that wrote itself out perfectly. All the guitar parts dovetail each other into one grand presentation of the song - modern day Beethoven/Bachs just putt it out there! Ha! I sound like a kook, but I just love Lynyrd Skynyrd!

    Great work and tone. These parts fit the song so well and really accent Ronnie and vice versa. It’s incredible the way they weaved three guitars into individual parts that stand out yet do not so much they take away from the song. This is only accomplished IMHO by jamming together as a band for countless hours, something sadly missing from most of today’s music.

Allen and Gary are no doubt great, but Ed really provided something foundational and his counterpoint was always spot on,just unbelievable.

    I grew up in 70's as a young guitar player learning. that first Skynyrd album was a huge part of my learning by ear of course. Molly Hatchet, Blue Oyster Cult, Tom Petty and the Heart breakers had their first album out. Aeroskiths first album was a great learning tool also. I messaged Ed one day because I had some old pictures of him from the tribute tour. I was working as an IA stagehand at that show. My buddy was a professional photographer and the Steward that day and he took some great pictures. I asked him if he wanted them and told him that I cut my teeth on the first 3 or 4 Skynyrd albums and loved his playing and asked him a couple of questions about those parts and I was pleasantly surprised that nhe actually answered me. what a nice fellow. He passed a couple of years after that. I'm still sad. I knew he had heart problems but didn't know he had an actual transplant. What a guy. My Brother was also at that show in Pittsburgh when Ed quit. Of course we didn't know that but putting 2 and 2 together my brother told me that half the band was so drunk they had to bring chairs out for them to finish the show and Ronnie was really drunk.

      We were spoiled in that era. Those that you mentioned and Rush, Heart, Eagles. Every day was filled with hits songs. Try to find something good now.
      Ronnie was a mean drunk. I read an interview where Billy Powell said when the plane crashed, he knew instantly that Ronnie was dead, and he was relieved that it was finally over. Powell was one of Ronnie's favorite punching bags and had actually knocked his two front teeth out for playing the intro to Freebird too long.
      He said before the crash he had told himself enough is enough and wanted to quit the band.
      Ronnie had also, in a drunken rage, broke a bottle and cut Gary's hands telling him he would never play guitar again. There are some pictures of Gary playing with bandaged hands.And Ed left in the middle of a tour because Ronnie was out of control and threatened him.

Ive learned so much from this vid and your tutorial on 'Whiskey Rock A Roller. I too bought my Strat new in '77 when I was a Senior in hs. I still have it and everyone thinks its a reissue cause it plays so nice and still looks new. probably the worst decade for Fender, but I got lucky.

      I can relate. The small town in South Alabama I grew up in, no one taught guitar. A couple of friends knew a few chords. After I learn those, my folks got me a chord book and I learned everything from my turntable. I was a master at placing that needle back on the perfect spot I was working on. Locked myself in my room and woodshedded as a kid.

      @@seraines lol... Yeah... I wore out Machine Head, Zeppelin 1, 2, 3, 4 and then in 1977 someone gave me Pat Travers Putting it Straight trying to figure out what those guys were doing (I thought Mars was brilliant and Nicko was off the planet)... I was a big P.T. fan... I actually got to meet him and used to hang out at his studio when he moved from Miami to Orlando in 1983. He was pretty cool... I actually got to play that old P.O.S. Melody Maker through his rig... He didn't play half as loud as I did... He was awesome. I did not learn to appreciate Ed King for probably another 10 years.

    Thanks! Awesome video. Watched it when you first put it out a year ago and it really got me back into Skynard. (I needed help focusing on positive things during Covid). Seems like half the songs in our sets were Skynard back in the 70s. (Never really played it right...UNTIL NOW!!!!). I also got me one of them guitars from the 80s too. Really hate adjusting the truss rod on it! (fortunately I rarely need to get after it). Very fun. Really appreciate your insights to Ed Kings perspective on all your vids.

    Scott, I think you got it 100%...Ed was right when he told you such a compliment, you were lucky to have had the honor to spend time with such a legend... That riff is one of the first I worked on, back in the days, when I was learning guitar, I think 1989...We had no youtube at that time and I had to slow down the tape recorder to understand what he was doing...I went on a simple man cruise in 2011, and I met the Skynyrd Guys, Little feat Guys, Blackberry Smoke guys, and Don Barnes, who is one of my favorite guitar God, and a very nice guy either, But My biggest regret is That I never had the chance to meet Ed (and also his good friend Jeff Carlisi)..Best best regards, and hope to meeting you on a european and french tour with the APB !!!

If your up to a request I would love to see a tutorial of the rhythm to I Know a Little, a lot going on in that song on album, really hard for me to nail it down, The intro solo was much easier for me to pick out, still having trouble all these years later with the dang Rhythm !

    Hi Scott! Thanks for your great chanell and instructional videos of my all time favourite band Lynyrd Skynyrd! Been working with Swamp Music since I found this video. Though have been listening and practising Lynyrd Skynyrd songs since my teen age years decades ago I never though this song would be so much fun (and for me technically challengsing to learn). So many great licks in it and the basic rhythm guitar(s) is gret! For me the great Ed Kings sound has always been something I most would like to learn. His strat sound and playing style is so groovy and edgy. No need to mention his superb one if a kind solos.
    Now I would have a one special reguest for you. I would very much appreciate if you could dig in to Ed's backing guitar on Need You. Think it is the most emotional and beautiful guitar sound and playing style I ever heard. I also know that it a tricky one to learn as there's is so many theme variations in it. Anyway, your doing great work on your videos! Thanks so much for everything you done already and have a great time in the future also with your band! Best regards from Finland also. We have a very strong fan base here for Lynyrd Skynyrd!
