@@Fazer_600 I can't speak for anyone else, but I always found "Free Bird" to be one Hell of an endurance test! Back when I was a working guitarist, we usually closed out all of our shows with "Ramblin' Man," followed by "Free Bird." It was a damned good thing we always saved "Free Bird" for last, because by the time it was over, my hands were shaking and my left forearm was aching all the way up to the elbow! In my opinion, the toughest riff is that rapid-fire, repetitive "diddle-diddle-do, diddle-diddle-do, diddle-diddle-do" business at around 6:39 or 6:40. I soon learned that if I didn't get set up for it ahead of time, there was a very good chance I'd muff the job. (That's where having two lead guitarists comes in handy.) Some of the riffs might be a little rough for the average player, but in my experience, it's more about wrist and forearm strength than anything else. I used to do this two or three nights a week and two or three weekends a month (not to mention those long hours spent rehearsing) so my wrists and forearms were quite strong back then. If I had to play it today, I'd end up fumbling my way through several parts because I've been "out of the game" for so long it's not funny. I got permanently sidelined by a physical disability back around 2000, so now I only play at a few jams during the warmer months.

@@stratokazper Just keep pluckin' away at it, my friend...I've been at it for well over 40 years now, and I'm still learning new things all the time. Being a guitarist is much more than a hobby or vocation, it's a lifelong journey, so keep on pickin' and be sure to enjoy the journey, every single step of the way!😉

It’s always good to take licks off others, that’s how we learn. It’s even better to learn the neck and understand how and why these phrases work in different positions over chord changes. If you spend enough time at it you won’t have to be thinking how a lick goes but rather just feel it out and by letting it flow it’ll soon sound like you, not you trying to be someone else. Start low, go high, don’t ever forget the beauty of repetition, not just licks but single notes. Mix it up with triads and arpeggios and you’ll finally get it… don’t think just play!
@daveee96072 жыл бұрын
Exactly what I just done! I started off with the first riff of the song, as you do! And then as it went into the first verse, I just made stuff up. Bit crappy at first but like you said, you learn which notes fit the song! Whether it’s single notes or a chord! Love jamming to this now and playing over it and doing it my own way! Other than a great song, it turns into a great backing track too!
