Free Bird

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 guage 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.
