Tried to get as close as possible. Gary Rossington uses a Les Paul and may play it slightly different, maybe not going to third string 4th fret but staying on 4th string. Also sometimes he uses a cord of rope under strings at second fret. I tried that and it was easier to play with the high action, but had trouble tuning the guitar with the rope in. Also heard he tunes the B string to G also, so I did that and it’s nice you don’t have to worry about extra sound and it kind of doubles the note. Try it. I use a pick also, that’s just always the way I’ve played and just feel more comfortable, need to work on using fingers , might help dampen the strings.
