In today’s guitar lesson we learn how to play “Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits including both the rhythm and lead fills throughout. I cover this song in a beginner friendly acoustic arrangement which will allow you to play the song quickly at any level. By using a capo, both the rhythm and lead parts are easier to play.

Outstanding lesson. Thanks for helping me understand what’s going on with this song. I’m 70 and after 50 years of playing I’m still learning from guys like you. Thank you for putting it out there. I’ll look up your Patrion and buy you a meal and bottle of wine to start. I have to see more of your lessons. Again thank you. Peace

Wow, I REALLY like this arrangement! I love playing the original like Knopfler does it, but you're right that the fills appear SUPER easy in this arrangement. Well done sir!

My dad loves this song , my new goal will be learning it and playing it for him as good as this guy does or at least somewhat close 😂 I'll update y'all when I do it

@markparker9910 5 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you! I never thought of capoing up to learn this in A minor or simply transposing to A minor. Thanks, very helpful! Thanks again! 👍

Brilliant, you've got a new fan! I only play acoustic, so it's great to have an excellent sounding version with the licks and fills, too. Well taught and explained. Excellent job! I'm usually not a fan of changing the key, really liking to do songs as they were originally done, but this key works great and sounds very mellow, and there's the option of doing it in the original key, too. I love these long form, detailed tutorials. More Dire Straits and Pink Floyd, please! Pleae don't forget the solos for "Sultans" on acoustic - looking forward to those! Much appreciation, keep up the great work! 🙏👊😁

MTG, Sincere thanks to you for taking the time to put this lesson out. My first MTG lesson attempt was your "Friend of the Devil" acoustic lesson and it was huge for me! This is my next to tackle. (still going back to brush up all those tasty Jerry Garcia fills on the aforementioned also) Thanks for the value you provide to the community!

@MTGuitar 28 дней назад

That's great to hear, glad I can be of help, best of luck on Friend of the Devil as well!

@lnhislmage 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, 🙏 This one is a must learn!. It just became my new goal. I’m not a music reader but I’m going to try to notate this as I go in the hope that it helps me remember all the tasty fills , double stops and arpeggios and put them where they’re supposed to go. Great job and thanks again. One day I hope to learn how to spell rasciatto.

Your playing is great, mister! I learned war on drugs - Pain from you and it was the first time I actually even combined rhythm with fills. Took me some time. I can only even try to tackle this one (sultans of swing) because I learned from you earlier. Thank you!

@MTGuitar 28 дней назад

That's great to hear, glad combining rhythm and fills is working out on "Pain". Thanks!

@stuartbluefield769 10 дней назад

You really really suck. After decades of playing, you make me feel like a schmuck with this brilliant rendition. You should feel terrible about being so good and making me feel so bad. I'm going to have to watch this lesson way more times than I have life left to master this version. Dammit.
