Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swift Guitar Lessons for another By Request Song Tutorial. A large portion of the request I receive are for The Beatles and their solo works. So today I’ll be breaking down a true classic off George Harrison’s 1970 album, All Thing Must Pass entitled “My Sweet Lord.”
Featured Product of the Week:
The new AirCell Guitar Strap by my good friends at KLIQ Music Gear. This is by far the most comfortable guitar strap that I’ve ever used. Long hours in the studio or on stage often leave me feeling pretty sore, especially with heavier guitars like my 93' Gibson. The aircells in this strap are designed to absorb shock, while keeping the guitarist cool.
I’d love to hear what you think of this strap, so take advantage of this exclusive Swiftlessons promo code: SWIFTSTRAP to receive a $10 discount.

This is by far THE best "My Sweet Lord" guitar tutorial on TH-cam yet. Thank you for sharing your lesson!
Yeah...that's true...
I'm a surgeon, and a keyboard player in a local band and have now taken up guitar after many many years. I grew up with the Beatles, and have always loved My Sweet Lord by George Harrison, my fav Beatle. I've always wanted to play it. It's been a struggle with all the chord changes, bar chords etc and have tried different tutorials. This one by Swift lessons is by far and Way the best tutorial. Will be subscribing and using him frequently!!! Thanks!!!
Ever since I first heard this tune in 1970 I felt that the acoustic guitar in the far right channel is one of the best acoustic rhythms ever put down on vinyl. Not only is it an excellent rhythm that keeps up the pace throughout it is a percussion instrument in its own right. I feel it is one of the instruments that keeps the song rolling from start to finish. I wish I knew who played that part.
+Bob Wags I agree, such a powerful sound, it really does drive the track. I assume that George played it, but that would be worth researching.
swiftlessons All Things Must Pass is second only to the album Plastic Ono Band on the list of my all-time favorite albums. The massive amount of talent George brought with him to the sessions is stellar. I'm just amazed they actually completed the project with Phil Spector producing! I would love to hear a total remix of the album with out all of Spector's echoes and reverb.
@@swiftlessons, thank you very much for this tutorial.. George had the four members of Badfinger of which Pete Ham played one of the acoustic guitars. John Lennon also played rhythm guitar, and also Peter Frampton on acoustic. There is a whole bank of them playing as you can tell. . The Hare Krishna chant in the latter part of the song is the most significant part of the song. Hindu is not accurate as it is a term made up by Muslims for those east of the Infhu RIver, but I know what you meant. . Krishna is a sanskrit name for the Supreme Lord. By chanting it you become purified. I became a monk in the Krishna tradition because of George's influence
@@tallmn1957 It sure did improve "Let It Be"! I'm a mostly analog/vinyl guy, but the de-Spectorized "Let It Be Naked" CD is so great
He doesnt use a capo tho
when I was in college dorm when nothing to do, i remember me and my friends playing. it felt good when you strum and it sounded right. none of us are musicians now but engineers.
That dog is straight vibin’
Clearly a Ringo fan!
Honestly one of the best guitar tutorials ever made. So clear and easy to follow for newbies like myself
I just started learning slide guitar two months ago and this song was the first one that entered my mind. In fact, other Harrison's slide licks (Blow Away, Give Me Love) have attracted me , too.
Since I wanted to play the entire song solo, I use a thimble slide in order to chord and slide. I did not pick up on the hybrid picking of the third line of the intro but did recognize the B-string was a half note lower so I have been using index and middle finger on E and B strings to play that part without the slide.
Time to learn the hybrid method.
I love the pooch taking a nap in the background, so cool.
Finally, a high quality tutorial of this song!

The dog is obviously a stones fan
Lol, I think the best way to enjoy Harrison is lying on the floor and vibing.
Bahahaha
Love this tutorial. Mr Swift always provides great content. Still can't believe nobody commented on the DEAD dog in the background. thanks for posting.
Intro Slide Solo 14:48
Main Slide Solo 20:38
I love the sweet dog listening to My Sweet Lord!
After learning this it clear that Harrison was a genius such beautiful chord changes
So true
Great job. slide and all. I had fun playing along with ya. There's just always been something magical about this song to me.
Beste Anleitung für diesen geilen Song den ich je gesehen habe! Congrats to u!!!
You are a good instructor, I play by ear for the fact I have to but your instructions hit home. Thank You!
great lessons! really like it that you just cover it first with all the chords visible, because for most of these songs this is enough to learn it
I'm just here for the covers you do in the beginning they're amazing!! It motivates me to learn these songs on my guitar!
Youre one of my the best guitar teacher in youtube. Thankyou.
love the dog lying in background
Thank you my sweet Lord for talented people such as him
Absolute great lesson. Easy to learn and understand. Thanks a lot for sharing!! Cool dog! :- )
😂 I love your dog man, by the way, excelent work.
Awesome job combining the two lessons of rhythm and slide. Thanks so much.
Hey glad you enjoyed this one Sam. I hope to get back to slide lessons very soon. Have fun. -Rob

Your lessons are superb. Thank you so much
+joalucard hey, my pleasure. Thanks so much for the from the comment!
Dude, I love your videos!! Love the Beatles and having only been playing 2 months can now pull together 'Imagine' and 'Let it be'. Thank you! From beginners who are impatient to learn :-D
I really love your tutorials. Thanks so much for this one. Even after numerous years of practicing bar chords, I still have trouble getting them to ring in a timely manner. For many people, bar chords can be the reason they give up on a song. Another favorite teacher online often shows simpler ways to play the chord for those of us who struggle. I know for me it is much appreciated as I practice both ways but am still able to play the song in the mean time. For example I practice the Bm using a cheat which is easy from a D shape. Just thought I'd throw this idea out there, because I really like your lessons. I just think that some teachers don't grasp just how difficult bar chords can be ... especially on an acoustic. Thanks again.
That was a superb lesson! Great teaching i got it right first try thanks to you ! Thank you so much mate
Very nice rendition. Many (MANY) folks do not play the 3 chords in the D-Ebdim-B7 progression. They will either play the Ebdim and hold it until transitioning back to the Em or just play the B7 straight from the D. I assume they do this due to the fact the Ebdim and the B7 are somewhat close (only 1 note off, really). You correctly play all 3 chords. Bravo. I would be remiss, however, if I did not point out the fingering George uses for the Ebdim is different from what you are using here. He actually uses the following fingering: X56464, which is really just an inversion of the chord you're using. It does give it a slightly different tonal quality, though (closer to the recording, obviously). You can see him using this fingering in the Concert for Bangladesh footage (if you can find it). Eric Clapton also uses this fingering in the Concert for George (at about a minute and 24 seconds). Funny thing, though, he is also one of those folks that does not play all 3 chords. He simply holds the Ebdim then transitions to the Em. But hey...he only played the solo in the original recording...George did all the rhythm work.
appreciate your added insights. I am one who had not picked up that B7 chord.
Also appreciate the alternate shape for the dim chord. I've only played them on the high strings.
very nice. watched it over and over...the dog. lol
just kidding. enjoyed it. thanks for the lesson. best one i've seen!
Lol at the pup in the background. I love that dog.
Best tutorial for this yet
Nicely played. However the dog doesn’t look impressed. 🤣🤣. Great lesson thanks. I was 15 and just left school when this was out & I always loved it. Cheers.👍👍👍
I've been studing your tutorials, you are by far the best teacher I've found in here, I wish you made a tutorial for the song It's a Man's Man's Man's World
Beautiful....nicely done, you maintained the genuine flavor of the real song. Greetings from St.John's, Newfoundland. Canada.
Nice job sharing and teaching. You're a great player!
Great lesson! Meantime your dog just some steps from you, died starved. LOL
Thank you for showing by arpeggiating the dim chords. It really helps.
I felt like Captain America showed me how to play the song! Great Vid!
18:46 the dog...... the DOG ....THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!
Yup, that's Otis.
Its been a hard days night and ive been workin like a dog.
Ih ih ih
Great Lesson from a awesome guitar player keep up the good work!
been playing all my life and I NEVER thought of using an Em with an A major!? It's always the Am....just that intro makes it brilliantly simple. Ive never heard those chords used like that
very clear demonstration
This video is gold.
14:14 Electric g...
Good teacher indeed and talented, thanks
Love the dog.
You've a pleasing voice.
Great instructional vid!
Love this song
Nice!!! Two tutorials in one !! My sweet lord and hes so fine !!!
truly inspirational...vocals & playing.....
George Harrison used a capo on the 2nd fret, as shown in the video. I find it much easier to place may capo on the 4th fret. In this way, you use way less barre chords. I can do the bar chords, but it gets very tiring on the left hand to do that many.
Great take on this heavenly song. Thank you!
Thank you for make this tutorial for us . it's perfect .
Esta cancion la compuso george a raiz de un incidente que tuvo en la tienda de la esquina, fue a comprar un dulce y como el tendero no le hacia caso, george le recordaba, "mi dulce senor!"
Jajajaj
Sir, you are so damn good. Thanks so much for sharing your vast knowledge.
Ive watched many tutorials and this is as good as any i’ve ever watched.
Very clear and concise. thank you!
Hello again. Thanks
Great job, I love the way you demo the songs first up and just use those on-screen chord names to guide the learner. For most intermediate players, this is going to be enough to get the song happening. Like the way you did the shifts from those dim 7th chords to the dom 7th ones at the end of the verses. Sounds good and is very logical in terms of resolving the dissonance. I think there is something similar in Michelle. Like your teaching approach -I'll check out a few more of your viddys. Thx.
Very Nice
Very, very, very fantastic!!!
+Lucas Jaeger thank you Lucas, I really put some elbow grease into this one!
😀
Fantastic lesson man! Not to make sure that you do not sing shabby either.
Very talented young man,nicely done
I would like to see you do a lesson for the guitars in How Do You Sleep by John Lennon since nobody else does a lesson of the song so that's just my recommendation please
Excellent job my man! And this is a very thorough teaching. Please don't take this down as it's gonna take me a while to learn. Thank You!!
Nice cover. You've got a good voice.
Exelent video, the slide part was so usefull for me,thaks bro.
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Such a great lesson.
You're awesome and teach us so many great things!
I THANK YOU...
my GUITAR thanks you!🌞✌

Great lesson thanks
God, you are so attractive. I had to rewatch this a couple of times ‘cause I wasn’t paying attention to the guitar 😂😍
awesome lesson
Hey thanks, so glad to get this one checked off!
Consider doing solos for "Cheer Down" by George Harrison. The last one is tough.
Super video Bro. 🙋🏻♂️🇵🇪
the dog slept with the sweet sound
Great tutorial. Rock on bro
Great.
Good job teacher, Thank you.
Thank you, Swift!
Awesome, made me smile to hear it haha
Real nice lesson! 👍
Thank You
The part using two strings is not correct. The descent is with the following notes: F with Ab, D with F, B with D and Ab with B. The last part of the melody is also with two strings. They could tune the first string to D, but apparently George Harrison recorded it with two different guitars.
Good cover
No te entendí lo que decías pero buena rola, me encanta y voy a aprender a tocarla, gracias
Holy, it's going to be an interesting week, learning this song. Great tutorial as always!
excellent thank you man
Magnificent
Nice job
holly mother of Krishna ... dam n it man you are hitting the note ....God bless you ....
