The track is based in G , and the 5 minute solo used mainly
the G minor pentatonic scale. I suggest practicing the sliding intro
with your finger first and then get out the bottleneck. Also it's
a good idea to rig your electronic tuner (you do have one?) up so
that when you play the guitar a bend a note you can see how close you get
, you should get a power supply for your tuner so you can turn it on
permanantly when your amp is switched on . This really does improve
you pitch. It is vital that you get the right pitch of the notes with
the slide or it sounds useless. Also add a bit vibrato with the slide
for extra effect. You only need a little bit distortion and not to much
for the solo either. Okay here 'tis.
* 2 use slide now!

Thats the main song covered , this repeats a few times and then when
come to the outro section . You can take your slide of now and
change to some rhythm playing and then it's the solo.
oh yes this is where there is some slight phasing , but also it's
switched off for the main body of the solo and gradually builds up
into the end section.

The Guitar Solo
---------------
Now the solo comes in , you guitar should not be totally
screaming for this but should have plenty of gain giving a good impact
the solo is very energetic , in the 2nd and 3rd sections notice
how the feel and timing slightly changed , I am only going to cover
the first part.
As you can see it uses the same riff repeating a lot it seems daft
writing it all out like I just did so i'll show you the riff
and how many times it repeats

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
This is one hell of a long solo,if you think it's going to be too much
to learn then I suggest you pick up a few licks from the tab and play them
in any order you like. Most people wouldn't even notice.
If you really want to play it like the record, then it's all here for you.
Also, I didn't try too hard on the timing of it, but it is simple to get right.

I added the solo. Actually I copied it from
a book. But everything before the solo is
tabbed by me!! Some parts were tabbed differently
in the book and also the third guitar was tabbed.
I'm not gonna add it here (cause I'm lazy). If you
find any mistakes please, please let me know!

Okey! This is were the solo starts! Amazaing solo really
even I cannot play it yet! I have to pratice more. This
was originally transcripted by Dave Whitehill. I had to
re-arrange it a bit. There are lots of repeating parts.
If u think you can arranged it better let me know. Of
course u don't have to play it just like this! Just improvise!!!!
[solo stripped by archivist]
Okay!! There it is...well it is as bit messy and all the
measurents aren't right...but still there it is! I don't
even have my Lynyrd Skynyrd Collection home (I have no
idea where have I losted it) but I trust the book If u
have a comment just mail me, but always(!) tell me where
did u get this tab. I don't know much guitar sites where
I can send my tabs. Requests are always welcome...but just
don't ask for Van Halen's eruption or something like that

Lynyrd Skynyrd Free bird extended version SOLO
Words and music by: Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant
By: Frederic Briere
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
- slide down
~ - vibrato
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
Here is the solo... It's mostly correct, but in repetitive sequences I
didn't count, so just try to make it sound like the song. It seems harder
than it is to play so good luck!
