It may very well be that Sweet Home Alabama is the undisputed anthem of the south. It is, from experience, one of the most requested songs a musician will get asked to play. I wonder if the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd had any clue what their three chord ditty would blossom into.
In this lesson we will learn the famous Intro Riff and the rhythm to Sweet Home Alabama. The song is comprised of the D, C add9 and G add5 chords that we have been using in Dixie Style.
In the TAB there are four sections. The first is based around the D chord. If you first form the D chord and then work out the single note picking you will find that it is much easier.

The same holds true for the next two sections, by working the single picking notes around the chord forms, it will fall into place a lot faster.
I would highly recommend keeping your 3rd finger anchored to the 3rd fret of the 2nd string throughout the entire Intro. This will make your chord transitions much smoother, and when you reach the last measure of the intro you can play the individual notes using your 1st finger while keeping your 3rd in place.
Now we can look at the chart for the rest of the rhythm. It is, for the most part, what you just learned with the Intro Riff. You can simply keep repeating that throughout the verses and then do strumming on the choruses.
