What you will learn
Saturday Night Special was recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd on the 1975 album Nuthin' Fancy. In this iVideosongs guitar lesson, instructor Rob Schumann shows you how to play all the guitar parts from this 70's rock classic. In addition to the song's rhythm guitar parts and multiple lead guitar solos, Rob also demonstrates and explains the song's signature "slap-back echo" sound. Comprised of power chord rhythms, dual guitar riffs, and creative phrasing, Saturday Night Special is a great challenge for intermediate-level guitarists. This song is played on multiple electric guitars in standard tuning. Tablature and chord grids are embedded in the video for all song segments along with a full song performance in sync with the backing track.
