Please do not apologise for being "nit picky". As the years go by some of the detail of these great songs may be lost. And it is often the detail that sets them apart. Ed and most of the guys are no longer with us and its "the detail" in their songs that keeps their memory and legacy alive. Great work Scott, really appreciated. Hopefully one day I can catch you live, here in the UK.
The EARS ALWAYS KNOW!! I knew for a long, long time the way I learned and played this song was just wrong with nuances of the recording. I just couldn't figure it out, until I watched your lesson. Can't thank you enough for posting this and shame on TH-cam for not having this in the top 5 videos for the search, originally. You have obviously done a deep study into these timeless songs, and honestly I think it's invaluable. All the recordings and the various voicings to play these parts , was what set Skynyrd apart (amongst numerous other things) . That's what made them such a one in a million band.
Man....you do ED serious justice,that is just amazing you can continue their outstanding playing for us fans like you do....and knowing you sat down with the man and learned from the source just amazing God Bless you my frynd
He was definitely underrated compared to the other Skynyrd guitarists but was equally as talented in his own way. He wrote and played fantastic, melodic, fast riffs and seemed to do so without ever breaking a sweat. I love his sound - he funked out the heavier sounds of Rossington and Collins.
I love Gary's part with the sliding turnaround on the B and high E that hides underneath the more prominent part in the verse. Thanks to you and Ed for revealing it Scott.
Scott, thanks for this video, you are a Master at your craft, it is great that you got with Ed to play this song, most people play it wrong, only Ed could show you how it was done, R.I.P. to Ed, he was was the man, Rock on, Cousin Figel
What I love about APB is their attention to detail with the songs. I saw Ed King teach Marty Swartz the correct way to play SH Alabama. The APB makes sure they are playing it just like it was recorded. Keep up the good work Scott and APB.
oh how i used to get big duck bumps (larger than goose pimples) visiting the hell house spot, sit alone on the old dock there, close my eyes and imagine the birth of sweet home drifting through the those very oak trees, the first notes of that song ever played just drifting down that swampy bottom of peters creek and how the boys were unaware that almost 50 years later we would still be studying it......thanks scott for your attention to accuracy and detail
I've been obsessed with getting this 'right' for weeks now after ignoring the genius of this song for all the decades of my guitar playing. I've watched at least 6 tutorials and I'm so glad I just found yours. It looks like I have to recalibrate a bit, but I'm getting closer!
I see so many people out there that play the solo in D because the song starts in D, so they think it’s in D. And they wonder why they can!t get it to sound right. Then I yell “Play it in G! The songs in G!!” 😂 Lots of lessons online for this classic tune. But yours! Yours is spot on with all the cool Ed nuances. Bravo!
This song is the reason I ever picked up a guitar. We listened to alot of music I'd never heard in the field house when I was playing middle school football. I grew up listening to strictly country and knew nothing about Skynyrd. I heard the opening notes and I was hooked. It wasn't until later that year when I heard it again and asked my mom what the song was that I was able to look it up and begin learning it. That was 18 years ago and it's still my favorite song to play.
Thanks, Scott! There were things that I thought I heard, you showed them. Plus a lot that I didn't get exactly right. Three hot guitarists playing, there's a lot going on! And, thanks for showing me the solos, you nailed 'em, not for note for effect! I wish I'd gotten to hang out with Ed. I'll subscribe. 👍 👌
Thank you so much. People like me really get a lot out of these and appreciate it very much. This is just FUN to play and sounds cool! That's why it never gets old. Lots of details to work on slowly for sure.
One can never have enough Sweet Home Alabama guitar tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to share your amazing guitar skills with the rest of us. I love Alabama, it's the only home I have ever known. While we do have our share of evil hearted people, for the most part it's a state of kind, forgiving, honest loving people who respect the rights of all others. While todays world can made me sad at times, listening to Sweet Home Alabama always cheers me up.
Like I said in my last comment, Ed picked you for a reason. I recently watched you in Crossville Tn., the first concert I’d seen in over 25 years, well worth the wait. If Ed had shown me the same thing, after at least 30 years of intermediate mediocrity, I would have been lost in space. You are my hero!
Thank You Scott for your pickiness, your ear and rhythm are amazing. I just started on Southern rock and I'm hooked, Ed King was a very under rated Guitar player and musician composer. The Lynyrd Skynrd Band was so tight, great music never dies it just keeps going on, as young come up and hear these amazing sounds they pick up the mantle and go for it. If it Rocks, its in stone.
Yeah, Aw Man, You are the model of Southern Rock, The Best I've heard and who to watch! But I am sure you've seen or heard the best of the best in the Skynyrd Family of Bands and players. I wished my mind can always be ready to pick up what guys like you are laying down. I reckon I need a mentor to show me where I am lacking in the disconnect I am dealing with.
Scott, thank you very much for making this video. You are a very kind and generous person to take the time to do this. I hope the APB band gets back on the road and comes to the NJ/PA area. I'd really like to see the band live. Ed King, what can I say. 3 basic chords and he created a masterpiece. Godspeed!
Just a fantastic tutorial. All the little nuances that make this song great. I learn so much from your posts!!Please keep them coming Scott. Your insight and knowledge is Priceless
WOW! Scott thank you for this... Your playing is amazing and your tutorial here...well I have seen no better. Truly a great tutorial for a great song! So glad I stumbled onto your channel here.... Thanks again!
This is fantastic! You are right this is one of the first song i tried to learn. I have been relearning it recently. Your tutorial came at the right time! Thank you!
I first learned this song when I 15 years old..I learned it strictly by 👂..didn’t know what tablature was and of course there was no TH-cam either...however I always played the chorus different then what I was hearing back in those days..bands never played it right...then I started following king throughout the early 2000s mid 2000s ect..and it always tickled me cause he would tell people who sat down with him on sweet home I bet you $100 that you don’t play the chorus right..and here I was the whole time playing it right while a lot of others didn’t..land it used to drive me nuts..still don’t understand how folks couldn’t hear that down beat..with the pinky pull of ..anyway I was proud of myself on picking it that up..Scott you have some great tutorials..only guy I have seen on here that knows 100% what’s going on 👍🏻...keep em coming..love em
🇺🇲"Greatest America Song!"🇺🇲 I've been there at "Ed King's house "👑! Just drove around the area, Talked to a neighbor and he said Ed's Wife has sold the house. It still was "Badass!!!". 🇺🇲🤘🤪🤘🇺🇲. And you were there too! F'n Awesome!!! 👍
Such a detailed tutorial is all a guitarist needs to get out of the basics on a classic hit like this. My goodness, you Nailed it! I love the part when you explain that the G in the rhythm section sounds like saying "Alabama". That was phenomenal! Thanks so much for sharing.
You don't know, have no idea, have no comprehension of the arguments I've gotten into trying to get people to play this song like it's actually played. You play it exactly the same way I do because I too listen to the song. The people I've gotten into arguments with learned it from someone else but never really listened to the song, thus they learned it someone else way (the WRONG way) and then argue with you that its the right way.
Yeah, the 6th and 4th string bar chords I am doing with my index finger and pinky for some reason, and so I don't have the pinky to hammer down with, so I need to get my fingers looser to spread out further. My ring finger also was broken in a bicycle wreck when I was about 8 yrs old, but after playing a couple years, I've loosened it where I can play pretty normal with it.
Man i love your lessons ...top notch and i thank you for the time you take to do these. Helps so much . Ive been in a band 20 years and you keep letting me know we aren't doing it right and i appreciate it so much. Thank you once again.
Great Skynard playing. I played this with 2 guitars in 93. We did a good job with it, even the chick background vocals. Did not play the F to the C with the low E chord like you show a13:28: thanks. There is a little guitar part that slip slides under everything and no one ever shows that part. Just like Islander mentioned I would play that and throw in the piano chromatic decent (after, where the skies are blue) with it Worked well . The piano riff is important. Great lessons for experienced people . Your videos are top notch. Ed King (r.i.p.) one of the best of all times in R&R guitar playing
I wish I had seen this before...I've been (all of us) playing this wrong. Our cover band gets close but before I came along they never did the key signature notes. I added some of them and it got better. Our lead guitar is awesome and plays this well but with me in the background it gives it that little extra umph. Seeing some of this has completely changed the way I think about the tune. Changed my life bro! Thanks for all your efforts. I got a hell of a lot out of Call me the Breeze too. I'm looking seriously forward to sharing this with the band! Thank you BIG TIME! Rock on!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou, this is the most thorough & detailed disection of Sweet Home I've ever seen w all the little Ed-isms that made the song what it is!! I've been playing it for years but I've been playing a much simpler version of it w my own bad habits thrown in for kix so now I have to unlearn my habits and learn the song again .....no easy task because its become almost unconscious to play it for me!! I've got work to do cause I can't unhear my bad playing now lol 🤣🤣🤣
Scott, that part where you're talking about this rhythm under the solo...it doesn't just say, "Al-a-ba-ma." More specifically, it goes, "Fu-kin-Al-a-ba-ma." You gotta get the whole rhythm for that chord! That's a good rundown of the song. You pointed out all the parts, so... Thank You! 👍 👌 Now,.go keep watch over ya terlet papah! Haha! Good show.
Everyone does the tutorial of Ed Kings part. I'm looking for a tutorial on Gary Rossington's part that's more subtle in the background. It'd be awesome if you made a tutorial on Gary's part.
Excellent service to us Skynyrd die-hard fans you're the best..... obviously. Please keep the LS trivia and guitar secrets coming I like listening to the stories and you're a great instructor so thank you I think it's a shame Artimus is prevented by Gary and Judy from playing with the band since he is the only other legitimate living member. I think Ronnie would not approve of that and would agree it's BS. I think Artimus is still as good a drummer as John Bonham who I consider to be the best.
So good Scott. I'd love to hear ya'll. I'm in East Texas. I heard Ed say once talking about Skynyrd , that they were not a prodigy band. Makes me smile. Appears he was down to earth, personally, humble & very good:)
Excellent playing Scott... I always thought Ed King was the coolest guitarist and innovator on the planet... Now I think it's you. Thanks for the help...
@@seraines Most folks are practicing Christians to be that humble. I am and welcome any dialog, public or private, if you have the time. Do you live in Nashville? I live in Memphis TN.
Much like Hendrix, you can play a beginner version of many of his songs but to play them *exactly* as he did takes sheer mastery of the instrument. Lynyrd Skynyrd is similar in this regard- particularly the Steve Gaines parts! Mastery is required to pull off "I Know a Little" and "Honky Tonk Night-time Man" and such. Great lesson Scott 👍 Keep up the great work brother! Cheers from Louisiana P[>
Wonder what it would sound like if you did a chime on that D little thing that you added and said Ed liked on the first solo? Just wondering, I ask because I don't have a fender strat yet, but I believe listening to you play I'm going to buy another one, my first strat was stolen and I've never bought another yet, you are an amazing guitarist my friend.
Hey Scott, great lesson, even though your dog was not sleeping in the couch!! What the heck chord are you playing in the chorus when you go from D to C to G before you go back to the C? I see what your doing, i just can’t figure it out. It’s the last piece to the puzzle for me and it’s driving me crazy!! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us. It is truly appreciated
Hey Scott, these lessons you have been doing the past couple of years have been fantastic! Thank you so much for breaking them down for us bit by bit and giving us all those little details and nuances we miss. Do you guys ever do 'that smell' in your setlist? There are plenty of videos showing the solos and all that stuff but nothing really shows the whole song in its entirety and even just the rhythm section isn't correctly shown. If you ever look for a new request, that's my one! All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year. Nik from Australia
Just discovered your videos Scott. I’m also an Alabama boy, a huge Ed King fan and now a fan of yours. Really dig your playing style. I’d like to see you play Tuscaloosa some day.
If the year was 82’ and you played Jenny 8675309 I was there. I was 15 years old and naturally wasn’t supposed to be at a frat party. That song is the only memory I have of that night.
I watched a video the other day with Ed King talking about the song and playing a few parts and he said the opening lick is a part that most people get wrong and he showed how to play it. I am afraid it looks like you are playing it wrong if I am not mistaken. You might want to lookup this video, he is with that Marty Swartz guy who does tutorial and learn to play videos.
Please do not apologise for being "nit picky". As the years go by some of the detail of these great songs may be lost. And it is often the detail that sets them apart. Ed and most of the guys are no longer with us and its "the detail" in their songs that keeps their memory and legacy alive. Great work Scott, really appreciated. Hopefully one day I can catch you live, here in the UK.
Absolutely! It's all those little details that makes this song so good. Get it rite youngsters, and pass it on...
The best and most accurate Sweet Home Alabama lesson. I always look for this one to brush up. Should be at the top of the TH-cam search.
The EARS ALWAYS KNOW!! I knew for a long, long time the way I learned and played this song was just wrong with nuances of the recording. I just couldn't figure it out, until I watched your lesson.

Thank you! 🙏🏼
My band mates and I have disagreed on a few phrases in this song for years. You have settled it for us. We were all wrong lol. Thank You
I am absolutely blown away by all of the notes that I had NO IDEA were there. Amazing playing of this Scott. Thank you
IMO, Ed King is criminally underrated. No one on earth played guitar like him--before, or since.
it was that magic stone pick he used ;)
@@sixslinger9951 It was actually a certain type of shell :)
He was definitely underrated compared to the other Skynyrd guitarists but was equally as talented in his own way. He wrote and played fantastic, melodic, fast riffs and seemed to do so without ever breaking a sweat. I love his sound - he funked out the heavier sounds of Rossington and Collins.
Love to throw that out there. Especially when it's clearly perfect. Sets a lot of folks off.
I love Gary's part with the sliding turnaround on the B and high E that hides underneath the more prominent part in the verse. Thanks to you and Ed for revealing it Scott.

I’ll never forget the day he liked my video I was playing Alabama. One of the best days of my life.

Thank you, Brian! 🙏🏼
Still being a favorite song at all time👍👍Awesome video.👍👍👍
incredible. the first time I actually heard any even close to Ed's original.
Thank you so much. People like me really get a lot out of these and appreciate it very much. This is just FUN to play and sounds cool! That's why it never gets old. Lots of details to work on slowly for sure.

Solid playing thanks for all the vids
Great job i like this tutorial timing and notes sound like the original I'm having trouble with the picking right hand alternating picking 🥴🤪
Practice with a metronome and start slow
Scott, that part where you're talking about this rhythm under the solo...it doesn't just say, "Al-a-ba-ma."
More specifically, it goes, "Fu-kin-Al-a-ba-ma."
You gotta get the whole rhythm for that chord!
That's a good rundown of the song. You pointed out all the parts, so...
Thank You! 👍 👌
Now,.go keep watch over ya terlet papah! Haha!
Good show.
Fantastic playing my brother!
Thank you, Nate! 🙏🏼

Thanks for the tutorial. Great stuff my friend. When you see Gary again please let him know how much we Lynyrd Skynyrd fans care about him. Thanks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thankyou Sir
Hey Scott, great lesson, even though your dog was not sleeping in the couch!! What the heck chord are you playing in the chorus when you go from D to C to G before you go back to the C? I see what your doing, i just can’t figure it out. It’s the last piece to the puzzle for me and it’s driving me crazy!!
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us. It is truly appreciated
PLAY ME SOME SKYNYRD!!!
Did Ed King teach you it wow
I think the Marty’s Guitar interview was a lost opportunity. So many great questions for Ed king were never asked or at least not published.

Hey Scott, these lessons you have been doing the past couple of years have been fantastic! Thank you so much for breaking them down for us bit by bit and giving us all those little details and nuances we miss. Do you guys ever do 'that smell' in your setlist?
There are plenty of videos showing the solos and all that stuff but nothing really shows the whole song in its entirety and even just the rhythm section isn't correctly shown.
If you ever look for a new request, that's my one!
All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year.

That Smell is one of my favorites to play I’ll do on on that one.
Thanks for watching my videos!
@@seraines oh that would be awesome! Honestly for learning skynyrd songs there is no better channel!

Just discovered your videos Scott. I’m also an Alabama boy, a huge Ed King fan and now a fan of yours. Really dig your playing style. I’d like to see you play Tuscaloosa some day.
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I remember playing a frat party there when I was in high school. BIG fun!
If the year was 82’ and you played Jenny 8675309 I was there. I was 15 years old and naturally wasn’t supposed to be at a frat party. That song is the only memory I have of that night.
S. Adams That was on our list. I can’t remember the year. 👍🏼
Scott, can you do one on solo for one more time?
Hi Danny. Hit me up on my personal website and let me know what you need. Bottom of landing page, Contact.
I watched a video the other day with Ed King talking about the song and playing a few parts and he said the opening lick is a part that most people get wrong and he showed how to play it. I am afraid it looks like you are playing it wrong if I am not mistaken. You might want to lookup this video, he is with that Marty Swartz guy who does tutorial and learn to play videos.
