how to play guitar swing? This technique was created by Jonas Hansson (Silver Mountain)and is shown in this videoclip from 1981. This the earliest proof of who started it and when. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuZcO-wC9z0.

A good way to do it slowly and do not rush, then you will get how to play guitar the perfect swing.
  1. Take the guitar neck and part of the guitar body and take it and throw it back like your using an axe. There is an alternate way to do this, swinging it towards the pickup side, but this is telling you the headstock/neck direction.
  2. Make sure you don't drop the guitar down, this will make it drop and slam into your legs. Throw it back hard enough so that it is thrown around your torso.
  3. During this second that has been thrown back and behind you, put your right arm up (left arm for left handed guitarists) so it doesn't slam into your elbow.
  4. At this point it's in front of you, but be careful, it's going to swing up, (not fast) but still swing up. Just hold on to the neck and put your right arm on the body ready to play away!
