Knopfler, can you handle this?
Illsley, can you handle this?
Withers, can you handle this?
I don't think they can handle this!
Today we learn EVERY lick from Sultans Of Swing.
Thanks for 400,000 views on the cover video; I never imagined it would get to that. I hope this tutorial answers some of the questions I have received over the years.
For a more insightful journey, consider checking out the learning materials on my Patreon including Tabs and Backing Tracks.

I've seen Mark Knopfler play this live a million times and he never plays all the licks, and most of the time the solos, exactly like the studio version. He usually tosses in one or two familiar licks to get the audience cheering, but other than that he plays it twiddly bits. He improvised it all in the studio then picked out the licks he liked for the recording.

@soyeladmin3147 3 года назад

why doesn't this video get a million views? literally what I and everyone needed

@SpedSpedding 3 года назад

Haha, thanks. Who knows? Maybe RU-vid hates bandanas. Feel free to share it around. 🔥🙌🏻

It really is an epic tutorial.

@brianeckert774 Год назад

Yes me too!

@gregyoung5774 Год назад

The best tutorial I’ve seen. Clear and slow enough but keeps it moving. Well done!

@edhayes9037 7 месяцев назад

There are many good Sultans tutorials out there, but this is truly superior. The tabs are amazing and include the fingerings, tab, and the notes. Excellent musicality all the way through and, let’s be honest, Sped is pretty entertaining. 🎉

@SpedSpedding 7 месяцев назад

Amazing! Thank you so much. Have a happy new year! 🤘🏻

@vanillacreem816 Год назад

Just when I think I found the perfect lesson for this song , then I come across yours and you take it to the next level! Excellent lesson sir- easy to follow and the way you demo the licks are as flawless as always.

@Gramarrowsmith Год назад

Brilliant mate!! 59 years old and been trying to get this forever and now I've got it! It's very comprehensive, so it's pretty easy to grasp and it helps that you're a personable dude and a little humour never goes astray! I'll blow your trumpet to everyone now! Cheers!!!!!!

@josephskoblar1920 11 месяцев назад

I have been trying to learn these licks for 30 years, and now I am learning it with my daughter and it is so much fun! Thanks Matey!

@Alex-ce1ol 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this and the other two videos in this series. Hands down the best Sultans of Swing tutorial on RU-vid. I've had the intro licks and the first solo down for years, but never bothered learning the rest of the song until now. Coupled with the backing track "Sultans of Swing without Lead Guitar" and a Twin Reverb model, my fingers are sore from jamming with the band. Awesome job

@chrisdem7917 Год назад

I just came across this video while browsing the net and finally found exactly what I was looking for. And there I must admit that it is certainly the best tutorial I have ever seen on this song. So I'm bookmarking this link, and I hope everyone who sees this video will do the same. I wish every time I click on this video (i.e. every day from now on) I see 1k more thumbs up!

@ivorytower7 3 месяца назад

OK, not only is this a killer lesson...But the humor takes it over the top! Actually makes learning all this even easier. I learned a TON on this one and am coming back for more from Sped! Thanks for putting this together!

@DavidDotson-lo6rp 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the reply. I’m old enough to have seen all the greats - Page, the Who, Stones, Clapton, all over a dozen times. I consider I can’t really name a favorite. I can honestly say that you have Mr Page down to the last note. Takes a great deal of effort and dedication to achieve this. Plus it’s very obvious that you love what you do. Again my thanks.

@ivancortez300 2 года назад

Hey Bro.THANKS,There are many good tutorials around,but no one like yours.You play and teach well,and your solos and arpegios are perfect.Thanks.I learned a lot and much better with you.I hope you got Santana and C.C.C.

I love that i can pick out the licks i like best...at first...but then ..i find im able to pick up the others...naturally..it sort of flows! Nicely done. Cheers! Never thought id ever be able to play anything from Sultans of Swing...always looked to hard..and daunting, .written down in tab! This is great! 👍😁

With your help I’m getting through this. Got solo 1 down. Know solo 2, but still needs work (maybe I need a headband…) and now getting though these bits. Your videos are SO helpful. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them. Love your content and your style. Thanks so much!

@eddieflotte7996 Год назад

everything is great. ou are a superb teacher. I've never caught on to the divisions in each segment along the red play line. If that is normal I've never noticed it before. I love that feature. Thank you for doing all of this. you must also be a great guitar player. congratulations on your awesomeness.

@billsaltz4220 Год назад

Excellent! Explained, very well, not too fast ,not too slowly. Very nicely done, thank you!

I learn by listening and watching - tabs drive me crazy. I've made more progress in this song in 8 mins of watching this video than I have 3 weeks of muddling through tabs. Alchemy version next ;)

@tteitei 4 месяца назад

Nice one. Like for many people this song has been one of the most challenging to learn as a beginner/intermediate. Thanks again for the tutorial.

@urskunz2537 Месяц назад

that was really a journey, wow. Thanks a lot. You're off for a pint, I'm off to tell the band to learn sultans of swing so I can use what I learned. The most difficult thing is to stay concentrated and play the right lick at the right place. Well, just at the beginning, later on, I guess you just do what comes to your hand :) Thanks again, you're great!

@rainieralcazar7486 2 месяца назад

Man, I never thought that I could learn all the riffs of this song. I can now play the whole song including the solos (but still not that perfect). thanks to you Man.

You’re welcome Robert! The most challenging thing is remembering the order. 🤯 Have fun playing it now.

@spivvo 3 года назад

V nice.... I learnt it solo and all a couple of years ago and then recorded myself playing it..... because the chances of remembering the whole thing and getting the licks in the right order a year later are close to zero! I’ll come here if I ever need to play it :)

You keep amazing me with your work bro. I have not heard to many people that can get these kinda songs right. Thank you for doing "Achilles last stand " and Fool in the Rain" by Zeppelin. .. I had a feeling there was more going on in those songs than I was prepared to find that could make them sound proper. It was like a treasure that had been hidden from me for all these years I'm gonna study your work here on "Sultans of Swing " as well. Thank you.

@SpedSpedding Год назад

I appreciate that, thank you! So glad there of value to you. 🙌🏻 Have fun with Sultans; for me it’s all about memorising the order of the lines. Haha.

@BlackJackMcZ 8 месяцев назад

Heluva job mate, thank for this, i feel i need a bandana too now. Just need to mememorise them all and then memorise the arrangements, rhythm, solo....sheesh dude, what are you doing to us!

@rafaelramos2731 2 года назад

Thank u thank u thank u…………. Many times over. This is just what I needed to finish my complete learning program on this fabulous song. With these licks, I complete lead guitar parts. Thank u again, somebody had to do it for the almost advanced guitarists benefit.

@SpedSpedding 2 года назад

So glad you found this so useful. Not sure if there’s another video that goes through each one in depth so I thought I’d do it. We all have our own style anyway.

As usual walk away learning something new. In this case gonna start leaving the pick down and soloing with finger picking, its a different sound for sure.
