[senzo_]

"Sorry officer, but the speed limit does not apply while the guitar solo of free bird is being played."

[ImANormie]

"So what have you achieved in life?"
*"I did the free bird solo"*
*"You're hired"*

1:36 This guitar solo is so sick that it has it's own guitar solo in the middle

[damnfreakingsien]

Freebird: How many string bends do you want in your solo?
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Yes

[katchupp]

it is a crucial moment in every guitarist’s life when they go

fuck it imma learn free bird

[grant]

Holy shit! My uncle, who has played guitar for close to 50 years is the ONLY other person I've ever witnessed carry out this solo flawlessly.

[mindeloman]

Producer: how long should the solo be?

Allen Collins: Yes.

[Ceabrus]

This solo is so simplistic, but then you take into account the sheer ridiculous amount of skill necessary to make this sound halfway decent and you're just completely blown away. I think this proves that simplistic music can be good as can technially difficult songs.

“Oops, I forgot to press the record button”

This solo shows you just how much joy can be extracted from a simple pentatonic scale. I was listening to this sat in front of a keyboard once and tried to kinda play along and was blown away by the fact that it was almost intuitive. The whole thing is essentially just variations on a pentatonic scale. Like it really doesn’t do anything fancy. But it’s SO. FREAKING. BEAUTIFUL

Best thing about 60s-70s rock, they knew how to make simple solos sound amazing and flow in the song perfectly

2:07 The face of anguish and determination

Good job man, you nailed it.

[killzap]

Friend: “how do I detune my guitar?”

Me: shows them this video

[prince_o_hyrule]

I saw a comment on the original song vid, that a guy pulled off the Solo and made his fingers bleed. And he didn't even realize until after the song was over.

This guy is definitely on part with that, Godspeed good sir.

[Jonathan-A.C.]

The solo's longer than half the damn songs being made nowadays

[StaxRail]

That moment when you walk into church and then this begins....

[hankanderson]

Me before playing guitar: Wow that looks really hard.
Me after learning how to play: Wow it looks harder than it actually is.

[H__R_-]

I cannot hear this without imagining a high quality video of a horizontal/vertical spinning rat

[giacatluong]

learning the licks to this solo is simple, the tricky part is building enough stamina to play through the whole thing
