How many times have they played this yet they sit down and show us pretenders how it's really done! Pure class and thanks GR for inspiring me to learn guitar.
Most bands couldn’t make 3 guitars sound this amazing in a million years. Humble enough to leave the space and let the music breath. Hard pressed to find people that can do that anymore
Hell i bet u cant find 3 guitar players that can play together in one bandwe as a nation were so lucky to have these guys to come together and make some of the best music ever made so lucky they found one anotherfinding ppl that can play period is a gift from god and some ppl wonder if thier is a godskynard was living proof that yes thier is a god
Allen Collins was a giant to me as a kid. His playing along with his spirit, will always be missed. And Ricki Medlocke as his placeholder is so fitting. Kudos Mr Gary Rossington. Well done sir.
A SCREWDRIVER! After all these years! I saw Skynyrd at RFK stadium in 1976 and was up close to the stage squinting with my eyes at Gary's SG on Freebird trying to figure out what the heck was stuck in the first fret, but with him moving around I couldn't get a good look at it. So a screwdriver?! This explains so much! lol...
Rip Gary Ronnie Steve Cassie Allen Leon Ean Billy Ed King and everyone else, now the original band is reunited once again up in heaven stay strong johnny and Rickey 💘💔
Totally Agreed.!! RIP to them all, for giving us some Kick ass Music!! Would have loved to see how they all would be today Ripping out the same songs and more!!
I remember I was in grade school (1978) and at my first dance at my school. You waited for either freebird or stairway to heaven , the main songs that you wanted someone to ask you to dance to. The twoi songs were synonymous with....some sort of triumph .God love you always, lynrd skynrd ❤️
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Willie Vihaan thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You gotta wonder what Gary thinks when they play this song does he still feel the other guys around him or maybe even see them every once and a while , I get chills every time I hear this song I wasnt even thought of in 77 but damnit man i grew up in the wrong generation!
Yeah I have always wondered that too. It must feel weird to be the last survivor of the original band. He's outlived them all, his 2 best friends RVZ & Allen. Esp with Allen you could tell how close they were & how much they loved each other & Ronnie was their brother, father figure, mentor. If you think abt it though he has been with Ricky & JVZ for decades but the original guys were such magic together & just the times they struggled, I know they fought but that workin & strugglin to make it bonds you. I am glad that Ricky is honoring Allen the way he does & glad it is him carrying the torch since he was with them in the early days & how better to sing than Johnny. Whwn he 1st took over, he sounded so much like Ronnie but over the years he sounds less like that but my guess is way Johnny sounds today is very similar to the way Ronnie would sound today. Thanks for sharing this, very cool
I've always liked Ricky Medlocke because he has a sense of humor about himself and is relatable when talking about music,...he gets a kick out of what he does and it shows in this clip...no attitude, just straight up pickin...the kind of guy that you could have a beer with.. he still has a sense of wonder and appreciation in regards to what Allen Collins had created...
All them good ol boys from Jacksonville alot of people don't realize before Blackfoot Ricky jammed in the hell house with skynrd but never joined full time after Edd king Steve gains came in for street survivers I spelled that wrong folks let me Know if I'm wrong Rock on people rest in piece Ed king Allen Cassie Steve Ronnie Bob Billy loved ya miss ya
@lilnetty2 there is a great Blackfoot interview from 1981 on TH-cam with Ricky and Shorty that really shows how cool and down to earth they both are. What an interesting life
I Love these Guys, I'm right down the street from where it all started, on the westside of Jacksonville FL. I get goose bumps watching this video, watching Gary play and show how he did it, my ice cream just melted!
Wow, Ricki Medlock, holy $#!+, Train, Train, take me on out of this town, with his dad on the fiddle in the beginning, I used to wake up to this and have coffee & a j0!n+ on the way to work at 5 am. Damn good way to start the day.
Allen wrote it all. I read that on the pronounced album, Allen is playing all the guitar parts, including the slide. It’s just what I read, don’t know if it’s fact.
@@ravencountry430 I believe Allen played the leads at the end all by himself, which only took one or two takes, but pretty sure Gary played the slide on original....though Allen wrote all the music.
For a non-musician type, I really enjoyed actually getting to see and hear where each of the guitar parts are coming from. Just an incredibly listenable song, Freebird!
God Bless Ronnie, Allen, Ed, Billy Steve, Cassey, and all the Skynerd Family, you were all family, but we get to live in your memories, long live Lynerd Skynerd, we love you so much!
I've noticed that Gary used to stutter a lot in interviews and get nervous every time he spoke, but overtime, his speaking skills got better. But then again, he always got his point across through his great guitar playing.
" fuck yeah" best song ever. It makes me cry when I watch it in older clips. The whole crowd is in pure bliss. As close to God as you can get. I was lucky enough to see pre crash and post.
So much feeling and heart in every note and chord.... Today's songs do not bring the feeling and emotion from the soul that these guys are able to extract. At least from my heart. Keep on Keepin on fellas!
Rip Gary Ronnie Steve Cassie Billy Allen Ian Bob and Leon the original band is back together up in heaven, Rickey and Johnny will continue to carry on the legacy of lynyrd skynyrd. 😢🙏
Ricky is one of the greatest players still alive..i saw there last concert before they crashed they paid the night before at Lakeland civic Center and stayed another day to play again on the radio at school I heard they crashed.
I saw them in concert in Indianapolis about ten months before the plane crash. I was probably 15 or 16. Allen Collins and Steve Gains were truly awesome guitarists.
I sure miss Stevie. One day I went to the hell house to pick him up. He said come on in I gotta do something. Everyone was working on a song and they dropped in a Cassette. Stevie picked up his guitar, and in 10-15 seconds, he was smoking the song. "That good?" Everyones jaw was dropping.. "Ah yeah, wow" "Ok See ya at rehearsal" and we took off to go fishing. I don't think he got the credit he deserved. AWESOME GUITARIST and a good singer
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1999. I was sitting five rows back and dead center from the stage. After they finished playing Free Bird, Gary Rossington threw his Gibson Guitar into the audience. The Guitar landed directly into the arms of a guy sitting directly in front of me. We both caught a part of the Guitar, but because he had caught the majority of the Guitar and I only had my hands on the neck, I let go and congratulated him. To this day it bothers me on how close I came to catching and owning a Concert played Gary Rossington Guitar!!
Incredible video. Priceless. I'm an old man but hearing this song takes me back to high school. Also get a terrible sadness. Original band about all gone. Rest in Peace.
So, so, so awesome mix of guitar and honesty of true artists. Much appreciation to listen to this brake down of they're interpretation of this song. So, so, amazing
They are a Skynrd tribute band... the real skynyrd band died w Van Zant.... love Rossington but he is the sole remaining member of the original line up today... I miss my favorite band but thankfully I have their music.. long live Skynyrd!!!!
Amazing, I'm Chilean, Southamerica, grandes guitarristas, me gusto mucho this lesson, admiro lynyrd skynyrd, que gran grupo, virtuosos, gran vocalista, Van Zant, y los coros de Chase y Rossington, hermosos, tres guitarristas con gran estilo personal, que juntos son perfecta armonía, saludos desde Chile
it is amazing to me that Gary still carries on. I love him. when is the last time anyone heard from him? I'm kinda worried. Losing him would be too much to bear.
Gary just had a vessel fixed in his head, or heart one to prevent a stroke or another heart attack. Don't quote me exactly on it, but I am close. Hope this helps.
U guys may think that is a long song because u have to play it but as vocalist and a fan of music you guy our ears dancing with joy all thru this whole song,how your fingers holding out.
All these years I thought Vigo was just a Ghostbusters CGI that came out of a painting. Well I'll be damned here he is Vigo on the left side of your screen ppl.
Gary Rossington.That man was southern rock royalty.I still remember where and when I was at when I heard the band crashed.I was very saddened.Those boys and girls were an important part of my journey.Im 65 now and been playing since 85 but being a trucking man haven't been able to fully focus on my guitar and bass but have done well for what I do have .Soon if God allows me I want to be a picker full time in a year or so.God bless LS past and present.
Some don't know Ed played bass in the studio version of Freebird on the Pronounced album. Great guitarist. In his bio he stated that there was a little animosity toward him from other members because he was not a southern boy. Ed was from Glendale, CA.
@@randymcturnan2520 Ed also played bass on White Dove. I saw a clip that said Ed was brought into the band to play bass when Leon left for awhile. Leon came back and Ed moved to guitar. I'm glad Leon came back but Ed did a great job of playing bass.
@@icebob8555 so did Leon Billy Allen and Artimus Steve Ronnie and Cassie died I'm not disrespecting this group but Johnie vanzant is not Ronnie not even close but I do like him I love last rebel but they should call it something else like In 87 it was called tribute I'm not trying to argue with a Skynyrd fan cause I'm at the top but the true spirit died with Ronnie agree or disagree it's okay with me I value ur opinion of Gary
Just came across this..........and it is gold.......RIP Gary.....2023
Dang, gonna miss Gary for loooong time
I'm looking forward to meeting him in heaven.
Wow to hear Gary talk in detail and show how to play Freebird is Priceless! Ricky is a great musician period!
How many times have they played this yet they sit down and show us pretenders how it's really done! Pure class and thanks GR for inspiring me to learn guitar.
RIP Gary Rossington!!! U was so awesome 😎😎😎😎
This talent will never be seen again
Forever Skynyrd...
Been here since '73...
You and me both brother!
I'm living right down the street from where it all started

@@williamwhitlock8351 stop exaggerating. It’s embarrassing
Good point: people debate best guitar solo and duet but no trio is close to this.
Molly Hatchet, Ted Nugent, and the Allman Brothers have made three guitars work well too

I can’t put into words how much I love Skynrd, the soul is unbelievable, what would have been if??????? 😢
One of the all time classic rock anthems. Might be the best of all.
Totally Agreed.!! RIP to them all, for giving us some Kick ass Music!! Would have loved to see how they all would be today Ripping out the same songs and more!!
You know you are a Skynyrd fan when Freebird seems like it's 4-5 minutes.
Rip Ed King
Amen
ggg
And then you realize that it was the single version (which is 4:41) all along.

Brilliant. So fun to witness. Allen Collins was the "heavy metal" element in Skynrd. Dude ripped. Medlock is killing it too. 🙏
Sparky is the new Allen, it is what it is, at least we still have some Skynyrd

Gary and his screwdriver along with his slide created one of the most beautiful riffs ever 😂 Genius Rip Brother
I have tried to get the slide right, but I will never get it like Gary. Nobody ever will.
Great presentation
Cannot beat southern rock sound
Long live skynyrd!!!!
Gary's so mellow but that dang Les Paul is just greasy as fugg.. man I love that tone
Guess I'm gettin' old too
Sure do miss those days when Southern Rock ruled
Sarah C. Toadvine • 0h me too, girl. Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band, others.
Southern rock still rules at my house.
Blackberry Smoke, Whiskey Myers, Quaker City Nighthawks, and Goodbye June are all bands to look into.
Southern Rock is far from dead.
check out blackberry smoke
Still rules
You just can never get tired of hearing it.
It's really cool that these guys break down their parts. For us guitar players, it's gold.
You gotta wonder what Gary thinks when they play this song does he still feel the other guys around him or maybe even see them every once and a while , I get chills every time I hear this song I wasnt even thought of in 77 but damnit man i grew up in the wrong generation!

Yes he thought of the guy's always

How cool is this, I've never seen video lesson where its actually the artists, that just to cool. Thanks fellas!!!

For a non-musician type, I really enjoyed actually getting to see and hear where each of the guitar parts are coming from. Just an incredibly listenable song, Freebird!
absolutely the best solo ever ever ever.

They always said he didn't have to speak to express what he was feeling, but all true Skynyrd fans know he was the shyest of the members
Gary is the MASTER with the slide!!!
Yeeeeaaahh....NOOOOOO
The best one is when it was live with Billy Allen and Steve artimus and billy and leon
Love that smooth slide guitar
I've always loved the "Bolero" part.
" fuck yeah" best song ever. It makes me cry when I watch it in older clips. The whole crowd is in pure bliss. As close to God as you can get. I was lucky enough to see pre crash and post.
Still unbroken. Fantastic song
Still makes my eyes well up a little when Gary starts the slide. Play it pretty...
Hi fans.... how are you doing?You can message me on my phone number 8456930787
I know how you feel.

Back in the day, I never thought Rickey Medlock was that much of a guitarist BUT, he's a BEAST!
Y'all made that sound simple...."Yeah, Right"
Free bird,that flame will burn forever..What a work of art...
When inspiration meets amazing talent.
Always loved the isolated tracks. Gives the music something you never get from the completed track.
So much feeling and heart in every note and chord.... Today's songs do not bring the feeling and emotion from the soul that these guys are able to extract. At least from my heart. Keep on Keepin on fellas!
Those guitar melodies bring it all back to the beginning.. perfect!!
Love that tune. Great Job guys!!

Wow I shore appreciate good Rock and Roll .. Thank for all you have gave us through the years . Bad ass Boys.
I went into work one day and this song was on when I came back 8 hours later it was still on.
You men can REALLY make those guitars sing! You make it look so easy.
I sure miss Stevie. One day I went to the hell house to pick him up. He said come on in I gotta do something. Everyone was working on a song and they dropped in a Cassette.

I didn’t know Steve played at hell house.
Fake story
I'd love to see them break down That Smell this way. Really cool 3 way guitar work in that song.
Look at Warren Haynes version here on TH-cam.😎
Yeah that's a good tune.
That is really good song
Hell yeah Frynd. In my opinion, That Smell is the best 3-guitar interplay of their entire catalog. With MCA as a close 2nd.
You need Steve Gaines and Allen Collins for that

Ice Bob Ronnie Van Zant was the heart and soul of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The “real” Lynyrd Skynyrd died Oct. 20, 1977. Just so you know..
Real lynyrd skynyrd my ass
This is a great tribute band but it's not 1973 to 1977 Skynyrd no disrespect but it's not nearly the same thing
Gary went down on the plane that’s all he has to answer to show me a better (tribute ) then that
@@icebob8555 so did Leon Billy Allen and Artimus Steve Ronnie and Cassie died I'm not disrespecting this group but Johnie vanzant is not Ronnie not even close but I do like him I love last rebel but they should call it something else like In 87 it was called tribute I'm not trying to argue with a Skynyrd fan cause I'm at the top but the true spirit died with Ronnie agree or disagree it's okay with me I value ur opinion of Gary
F-ME!!!! do these guys get the chills every time they play it like I get every time I hear it?
When did Gary play an SG in LS. That's what Ed King played. Everyone else was playing gibsons.
Only on freebird every year from 73 on
