In this guitar lesson series I will show you note-for-note how to play the chords and solos found in “Free Bird” by the great southern rock titans Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This Free Bird guitar lesson series is one of the most requested in the history of GuitarLessons365. So in order to do the song justice, it will require quite a few videos.
In the first video lesson I will show you how to play all the chords to this great song. The chord progression alone is instantly recognizable. Simply watching this lesson will enable you to play along with the whole song.
Starting in the second video lesson we will begin our look at the epic guitar solo. As great as this solo is, it is also very long so it will probably take some time to get the whole thing down. However, the entire solo is full of great guitar licks that are not only very musical, but also make great technique exercises when isolated and repeated.
Throughout the guitar solo lessons I will take you note-for-note through these licks and give you some tips on how to play them as well.
If you can finally make it through the whole solo you can definitely pat yourself on the back. It will be quite the accomplishment.
In the last video I will go back and check out those slide guitar parts that are heard throughout most of the first half of the song.
For these slide parts I will give you a good overview of what is going on but won’t exactly go note-for-note through every slide lick. In reality, a lot of the slide parts are very similar and once you know the basic part, you can easily follow along with the rest of them. Oh and the guitar that you play the slide part on will need to be tuned to E A D G G E. All the other guitars are in standard tuning. Good Luck!
