RIP Gary Rossington, last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd
I know, It's honestly sad that most people just skip the first part of this song, its really so beautiful
â@@ihavetowait90daystochangem67 I like the first part but the solo is amazing and very funny after you see multiple memes with it LOL
we will miss himđą
God bless his fuckin' soul. His Slide Guitar was killer. May he rest in peace at 71 years old.
RIP gary rossington
Probably the hardest part of the song isn't how to play the solo, but remembering how the solo goes
As a guitar player yes its really hard about remembering the notes to the solo not how fast the notes are played
Edit: OMG 131 likes đ
Edit: I'm turning 12 this november and holy cow the likes. I forgot abt this comment. I can still shred this solo like Allen could!
Or you could just wing it
Ur not wrong. The solo itself is really pretty simple just all of the parts to remember is the hard part. Also, VRav, thatâs what I do, just wing it lol!
@@Guitarplayerotherchannel Tbf, it's basically just G minor pentatonic with small part of major pentatonic squeeze near the end. But the fact that it's so chaotic, it's hard to remember to play it in order.
Thank you ! I just came to write the same thing. So happy to see that I'm not the only one.
Ronnie: âSo, how many bends shall we put in the solo?â
Allen: âYes!â

Hey everyone!
Initially, I had trouble getting the outro solo down. I spent so much time tabbing the song and creating the backing track that I neglected actually practicing. When I started playing the solo, my fingertips were too soft to hold the bends for any more than a couple of measures. To toughen my fingertips again, I practiced bending on an Acoustic guitar with 13 gauge strings. SRV would approve I'm sure. When I returned to playing this solo, it was much easier! Lesson learned and note to self - keep practicing as you are tabbing.
I have double tracked the lead guitars in this to give the classic sound. The only difference is that I didn't stray from the guitar that I heard in the right speaker from listening to the recording. So I made it one tab and decided not to overcomplicate things.
Really enjoyed working on this song and I hope you have fun learning it!
@Mr. Tabs You're making people happy. Thank you!
Man the dedication! Thank you dude Iâve been trying to learn this song!
What are you using on your finger to do the slides? Plastic?
Thanks brother,. love the videos keep it up
are you God?
I just preformed the intro to this song at a friendâs funeral, it was his favorite song. Thanks so much for posting this I really wanted to learn the rest in his honor! Keep doing what youâre doing Mr. Tabs youâve really helped improve my playing!
My condolences to you buddy and sorry for your loss. Youâre very welcome for this and I feel very fortunate to do it through CZcams so I can help people like yourself. Keep rockin!
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons thanks so much for the reply means a lot! I will definitely keep rockin haha I look forward to your next tabs you put out :)
May his soul rest peacefully
Now he is a free bird. đ
this got me teared up. I'm pretty sure your buddy was rocking out wherever he is. May his soul rest peacefully.
Hey, bro! I've been teaching guitar for 15+ years and I just want you to know that I always recommend your videos to my students because your tabs are reliable, straightforward and well played! Thank you and keep up this incredible work!
Awesome man. Will do and thanks for the kind words. Happy to help and itâs great to contribute to a platform of resources so teachers like yourself can guide their students. I know what itâs like, Iâve been there as a teacher. Cheers!
Thanks for your hard work. I use your work for teaching
Do you do zoom classes?
The plot thickens
the sexual tension here is unreal
I yelled out play Freebird once. The guy gave me the middle finger. It was beautiful, I wish y'all were there.
Oh you're the dude from the Kurt Cobain concert.
@@fertilesewage8978 no I was at the VFW.
â@@fertilesewage8978 Nirvana** concert.
He was in a band.
If you can play this song through without mistakes, you know that youâve made it to the top.
Me whoâs been playing for not even 2 months and did it all within 2 hours
Yeh homie freebird is easy
I wouldn't say so, try playing altitudes, cliffs of dover or anything by yngwie malmsteen
â@@yubia5216 that's for kids, try Fracture from King Crimson
@@rustymonke2281 that sounds like a blatant lie unless you're some sort of blessing from the guitar gods
You killed that solo, man. You should do Green Grass and High Tides next.
I look forward to seeing that
I would love to hear/see that too!
Yer killing it Mr.T.
Oh hell yeah you should
Yeah,nobody done green grass
Do it!
I got a semi...
The solo was so badass, it made the guitar change colors
One of the most creative things I have ever seen is the fact that in the solo part, you covered the guitar with a green tape and used a green screen effect to make it look orange. Incredible :)
I also wanted to learn this song for ages. This video will be extremely helpful. I can't thank you enough for all the amazing work you do.
What are you talking about
It's not even funny
I wouldnât even have notice had he not lost the effect for a second. đ Mr. Tabs was shredding too hard.
Also it's actually a wood effect. You can see the base texture is not wood, because the strains look at the same spot while the guitar is moving. Hence, it's still a pretty dope effect đ
i dont know why everyone is talking about the solo. That interlude slide riff is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard.
I'm crying this channel has definitely change my life and improve my guitars skills like a lot
Same
So you are incapable to improve by yourself without youtube and totorials? That's sad, kids and youtube nowadays ...
@@samhetfield5663 you do realise your watching the same video... On the save site... Trying to improve your skills with this song... And then making fun of that?
@@samhetfield5663 You literally make no sense. Don't post comments based off of assumptions unless you want to get called out on them
@@samhetfield5663 I've been playing almost 50 years. YT videos have helped every guitarist in the world get better on guitar. Get a clue.
I think what people forget about this song when performing it live is that the greatness of the solo depends upon the tightness of all the other instruments. The drums have got a real job to do, not just pace wise but keeping the tempo of everyone in line, the bass has got to be flying about too, I mean its an insane bass line, and the keys and other guitarists have to be so on point. It's the wall of sound created by all of it together that makes the solo truly explode.
Solo starts at 4:53
It has timestamps đż
*starts rotating*
Sometimes you gotta listen to the foreplay music
It actually starts at 4:59 đż
you dont say
Those 500 bends were ALL on point. 100% on this cover and the tone from that Explorer is fabulous.
thereâs no way this dude is reading my mind
đđ€đ€
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons wheres website i can find the original freebird solo tabs that you used?
@@patd1956 Try Ultimate Guitar
@@patd1956 He tabbed them out himself
Same man hahahaha i got bit scared hahah
i like how the most replayed part of the song is the solo
That's the best part
@@kned7288 the whole song is perfect tho
On every song he does the solo is the most replayed part because thats what people want to learn
Wish more people would learn the whole song tho
@@storiedwolf6656 thats what im saying. The slide interlude is SO beautiful and iconic
I've been practicing this solo every day for close to a month now. I was extremely surprised that I was able to even learn this solo, let alone play it at 75% speed, but the jump from 75% to 100% speed is just insane.
5:12 this part always gives me chills on top of the chills i already have. i love the progression. this song plays the guitar, itâs so filled with emotion itâs hard to express
This is the definitive tutorial the world needed. Itâs PERFECT.
That is what I call talent!We all agree that that was one of the best solo's we've seen.
Lmao not at all. This song was made almost 30 years ago.
Nobody cares bout that shit
idk, maybe it is iconic, but imo it didn't age well. today it sounds almost like compilation of pentatonic exercises with no thought behind them.
@@user-ns6fi9un9i since internet guitar nerds like you discovered the word pentatonic, folks gotta have 34 mode changes and 13 scales through their solos so they can be good đ
@@sheevveehs7678 as a music nerd, if it is a bop, then its a bop. Even if its a 4 chord song that has one accidental in the entire piece, if its a bop its a bop
â@@chachacha8810 facts
This solo (actually the whole cover) is so fucking awesome and perfect that i could start crying. Note for note, the sound, everythings just- so damn on point. Youre a damn legend
That was the best cover of that solo that Iâve ever heard and it was perfect in its accuracy to the recording. Nice work, brother!
Amazing!! You killed it man! I knew it was coming, but I'm still blown away by how accurate your playing is and how effortless you make it look. I don't know how to describe it, it's like you have oodles of time to get to each note and nothing is rushed. Perfect!
Thank you. I try not to rush the tabs and gauge how much I will get done in the run of a week and practice accordingly. This one took longer than I expected, but Iâm happy I didnât rush it.
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons Well worth it! Incredibly accurate!
Finally, the moment we've *ALL* been waiting for! Now we just need a piano tab for Billy Powell's part. đ
Legend has it there's another 87 minutes of solo after the fade out.....
Hahaha, I love this comment.
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons Probably should've also said this is the best cover I've heard of FreeBird on YT, nice job!
The slide on this song is such a masterpiece
O cara tocou tĂŁo bem e tĂŁo idĂȘntico que o CZcams atĂ© reconheceu como original e desmonetizou KKKKKKK incrĂvel.
TĂŽ impressionado que o cara pegou o solo inteiro igual mesmo, que solo grande da pega vey
KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
This is the cleanest and most insane cover of this song that Iâve ever heard. Absolutely shredding!
Rock on!
The green screen malfunction on the guitar killed me
Never have I ever seen a more accurate and on point solo of this difficulty.
Just when i'm getting tired and can't think of something to learn, Mr. Tabs comes along and just comes along to guide me to my next challenge! lol. Thanks man, you rock and this is amazing.
One of my all time favorites, and i can finally learn it! Thanks so much Mr Tabs!
6:31 lol
lol
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Bye-bye, baby, it's been sweet love, yeah, yeah
Though this feelin' I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
'Cause Lord knows, I'm to blame
If I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
Lord, I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
This has been my favorite song for ages now... I would have been able to play this right now if I had the money to buy a guitar when my passion started. But I won't give up, one day I will play this song through hours of dedication and learning. Thank you for uploading amazing tutorials like this â€ïž
WOW! The solo is absolutely perfectly on point đł gave me goosebumps all over
Foe someone who's learning the guitar for almost a year now. Being able to Play this song from start to finish would be my goal for the next year. Thanks for the awesome vids
Have you it nearly learnt off???
This man is the cleanest of all. The tab play along donât lie. Instructive as much as it is enjoyable to listen and watch
Legendary!!!!!!!
I used to love playing this I'm looking forward already to the level of accuracy I know you will present!!
Great work you are doing.
You smashed it!!!
8:15 will always be my favorite part of this song. The way the bass climbs up in the few bars before it literally gets my adrenaline going.
You're so good with green screen it took me like 7 watches to realize why I couldn't find a yellow explorer anywhere.
The best guitar solo in rock history. You did great.
Absolutely fantastic as always...tone and chops alike! I especially liked that "love tap" at 6:33 and didn't even break stride...definitely a pro move there :) And btw, how many people go to the extra effort of green-screening their guitar to get the accurate color/wood tone? That's just crazy and shows the effort you put in to the production of these videos. Thanks for all your wonderful contributions, especially this masterpiece!
Now I'm pumped. Guess it's time to get the ol' guitar out and get frustrated again. Thanks anyway. Incredible tone and playing!
Learned your version of all along the watchtower-which is absolutely spot on to jimiâs original recording. The solos are cool but the rhythm transcriptions are where the real learning happened for me. Then, i Did your little wing-which i knew sorta-now i know im playing it the way jimi did including the incredible rhythm parts which i never bothered to learn and, again, that,s where my playing really improved. Relearning some country stuff right now from jason loughlinâs truefire course called country connections-highly recco it-then, iâll come back to this freebird transcriptionâŠthe solos are basically textbook uptempo rock lead playing and something iâve always wanted to learn. And your transcriptions are the absolute best on the âtube. I wish youâd include the standard notation too cuz itâs cool to use great tabs and notation together! But dude- i love your tabs and seeing you execute the stuff so cleanly and in perfect time is really inspiring. đđđ
Thanks so much for tabbing this legendary solo! It must have been a ton of work but so many people like myself will appreciate it!!!
No prob and keep doing what you are doing because you are sounding great on that Les Paul!
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons Oh wow you checked out my videos, thank you so much!!! đ
6:34 is so impressive
That was insanely on point! It's one heck of a song to have in your pocket, especially being played at that level.
Layla and Free Bird? This just keeps getting better and better
This was note for note perfection. Lots of players think this song is easy because it is sort of a collection of basic blues riffs but the timing is what makes it difficult. Getting the bends and double stops etc with the right speed down to hit all the proper accents and moments that give the solo its charm is what makes it hard.
thank you for teaching us the longest and best solos of the 70s for what is still today one of the greatest bands in the world!
Been playing along with this the past few days and have worked my way up to doing most of the solo at 90% speed now. Some of the faster bits I still need to work on and my fingers are sooooo sore from all these bends. :D
This is one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time!
Wow amazing! I can only imagine that dude practicing for hours on this song...
SKYNYRD IS BACK FELLAS! FROM SWEET HOME ALABAMA, TO FREE BIRD, @Mr. Tabs IS THE BEST GUITAR TEACHER IN THE WORLD 10/10 5 STARS
NO WAY, i literally was thinking how to get the solo of this masterpiece
Thanks Mr. Tabs đžâš
Beautifully done man! Keep up the amazing work, the guitar world appreciates you â€ïžđđ€
That was just so good I'm jealous. One of the worlds greatest songs played by someone who obviously loves it as much as I do. đđđđ€
Yesterday was my birthday and also the 1st time Lynyrd Skynyrd came to Brazil, but i couldn't Go to the show. I'm not a musician (i play drums Just as a hobby) but i am subscribing to your Channel, you sir make top quality content (the outfit, the performance, the tabs). Thanks
This song which they used to dedicate to Duane Allman in their live shows is strangely seductive, but damn good.
You get used to the sense of melancholy that's conjured up by the first half, but when the speed just shoots up to about 137 and basically remains at a similar speed for the duration of it, it grabs you by the balls. Going purely by the tabs: this solo has too many bends to possibly count, is completely free of heavy metal histrionics, but it's pretty damn awesome! You done a first class job in capturing it pretty much as Gary Rossington did... hats off to you Sir. Excellent job! đ€đžđžđđđ„đ„đđ
It was so amazing that I couldn't take my eyes off for a moment! Not to mention the greatness of the guitar, the bass and drums on the back are also really wonderful! I was allowed to see something very good! Explorer, super cool!
Man you freaking killed this one dude! You know a guitar player is great when they send you back to the shed hahaha đ!! I've loved watching your channel grow, it's been fun!
O momento que eu tanto esperava chegou!
6:30 this is proof that we live in the matrix!
this solo was amazing congratulations and can the next one be Californication ?
There's already plenty of good lessons for that on CZcams
@@hmmmmmm69 oh thanks
Wish the green screen was better! Killer cover, but it bothered me more than it should that the grain of the guitar didn't move with the guitar
Awesome
I was watching this video while working and I had to rewind to understand what happened⊠pretty cool, though
Aye thanks for being so awesome and straight to the point, I have wanted to learn this song ever since I heard it and I've been practicing a lot with your videos, playing things I'd never think I'd be able to play and slowly mastering this piece, keep it up man
A reason i personally love this song so much is how much you can improvise the solo
Hands down the best channel for guitar lessons ....the coolest guy on you tube loved that move you did when the guitar turns green and you give it a little tap and it goes back to yellow....siiiickk . !!!!!!
I fewl like the first half of this song is very underrated, never hear anyone talk about it. I think it's a masterpiece and find it quite deep honestly
wow this is amazing. I really have neglected my guitar interest and skills over the years and I need something solid to get me back on track so for a new year's resolution I decided to learn the whole song. I am putting your video in my watch later playlist and I feel I will be rewatching it many times over the course of the year :D
Magnificent as always. The slide work was amazing.
Lo voy mirando 6 veces desde que salio... La canciĂłn de mi vidađł
This solo is true gold and very difficult on guitar(imo), but people should recognise how difficult it is for the rest of the band!
WoW!!!!! That was amazing and that solo. Mad props. Iâm lost or words. Great job
Thank you for the very accurate tab, it's super useful as I need to learn the first minute of the solo for my next guitar lesson :)
Man, this is so brutal for the fingertips. My bends are normally pretty decent, but this solo gave me proper blisters. I haven't had blisters from playing for over 2 years, I forgot how painful it is đ
Idk no if the guitar turning to green was a weird comp issue but imma think you played it on two guitars and seamlessly edited those parts together because that was dope
The Explorer is really in a green finish, so he used it as a green screen to get a natural finish
Looks like he taped green tape all over the explorer to create a green screen on the guitar for videos, pretty smart. Green screen just happened to mess up for a second and show what the guitar really looks like haha
@@cosmicbro1973 Definitely green tape and green screen, I didn't notice until it glitched though lol. Afterwards it was obvious when looking at the outline of the guitar.
Taped up green, then green screened to look yellow, and the effect losing colour was on purpose. It didn't just happen to change just as that long bend note was about to hit ha
AMAZING!!! Thank you so much, finally I can actually play it when someone yells "PLAY FREEBIRD"
Genuine question. The song is 9 minutes long, which part are you playing?
@@seanhickey1999 Most of the time the solo
@@Thenicksamples how hard would you rate it and would It be worth learning on acoustic?
@@seanhickey1999 yikes, Learning the solo on the electric is pretty hard on its own. On the acoustic I have not tried but I assume it will be really hard as well. You could do the slide part on the acoustic and the beginning but I'm not sure how the solo would work. Good luck!
Outstanding absolutely outstanding â€ïž what a talent you have man, the dedication and confidence in which you play with has been a gift this evening.
I feel like i should pay paying for watching these videos. They're so helpful! You're doing gods work
đđđđđđđđ
Man, when you come back, you come back with a vengeance.
Wowie, it's amazing how difficult this song actually isn't lol
Best version and best tab of this anywhere. This is perfect.
Dude your guitar is sick! :D
Awesome as alwaysâŠcan you start adding signal chain/ amp settings? (Not that we all have as many great amps and guitars)!
When you're getting paid per bending.
This was so damn good! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents!
Absolutely brilliant Mr Tabs.
Free bird is one of those tunes you hear as a youngster and it makes you want to pick up a guitar
Os caras para darem dislike desta vĂdeo aula devem ser uns deuses na guitarra, o cara mandou super bem mesmo, se eu tocasse metade do que ele tocou estaria fazendo uns showzinho em barzinhos por aĂ, parabĂ©ns đđđ
Exatamente
Why is there ads in the middle of the song?
Best guitar channel on all of youtube, period. Thanks so much man for your hard work and dedication!! We all appreciate it so much
Wow, thanks! So glad that it's helping. Honoured to know you think we are the best!
Awesome! Can't stop listen this cover over and over! đđžđ
Did nobody notice that the guitar change color from yellow to green and now green back to yellow
Mötley CrĂŒe please!
I really like the little details you put in your videos like the green screen guitar in this one or the costumes you put on every time. No other guitar youtuber goes through that effort! Keep it up!
My hand just cramped looking at you play that whole solo. Nice job!
Es como ver como vuelve el dios de los Tabs
Awesome cover, big props getting that Gary sound and using an SG, his signature for the slide parts. I read a few times that Gary got that perfect slide sound that sounded almost like a lap steel by placing a nail between the strings and saddles on his bridge to raise the action just enough to avoid the frets while sliding but still leave the action playable.
Was listening to this song today and always wondered how he does them insane hammer ons and pull offs. THANK YOU
This was so good and so clean at some of the fast parts of the solo I was pushing my foot down like I was hitting the invisible brakes on my guitar solo car.
