Sultans of Swing Solo - Learn It With Interactive Fretboard!
|
Hey Reader, This one’s special - I just dropped a new guitar lesson where I break down the iconic solo to Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits — but there’s a twist… Below the video, there’s an interactive fretboard that lights up everything I play — in real time. No guessing. No tabs. You see it, you play it - and I break it down super slow in the first minute of the video (plus the Youtube's playback speed options for the second part). It’s one of the coolest ways to learn - there are easy parts and there are more challenging parts, but this riff deserves this extra level of clarity. Even if you’ve tried learning this before, give this version a shot — it might just work. I know I had so much fun recording it for you. ▶️ Watch it here: Click Here to Watch the YouTube Lesson Let me know what you think, — Vedran What The Chord! P.S. If you dig this format, reply and tell me — I’ve got more iconic riffs and songs I’d love to break down this way. |

I was honestly surprised by how good this thing looks in person, and the plugged-in tone is better than I expected for a travel/silent guitar. If you’re curious what comes in the box and how it sounds straight out of the package, check it out here: 👉 Watch the video In the video I go through: 🎁 unboxing 🔧 quality +...
How did the modes got their names? This short animated video reveals the ancient origins of the modal scale names - who named them and how they evolved through time. Today's modes are nothing like the original ones (which were more theoretical and tuning-focused), but medieval church scholars kept the same names because... well, they sounded cool? More likely, they simply lacked alternatives. By then, the original Greek modal frameworks had fallen out of common use - so they were "free to...
Hello my friend! I got back in the studio with fresh new.. well, everything! I got my new studio fully operational, and just in the right time: Guitar making company Donner reached out to me the other day and asked me to test out their new guitar, the HUSH I PRO Hawaiian Blue - a beauty! The model is still not even released to the public (it will be on November 20th) but I got my hands on it, it was shipped all the way from China ahead of their official release. Their new HUSH line comes...
