Learn how to play Saturday Night Special, as performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd released on their 1975 album Nuthin' Fancy. Awesome guitar arrangement with parts from Ed King, Allen Collins, and Gary Rossington. I'll focus mostly on the great rhythm guitar and groove that was played by Ed King.

The lesson covers the parts played by all three guitarists, and though it focuses mainly on King's part, I also cover the approach that Rossington plays on the solo.
