Don't forget Brent mason! Greatest studio musician to ever play that country twang.

But Gary also did the lead on call me the breeze which is fast lead stuff compared to his more laid back soulful style. Later times he had one of the other guitarists do that lead.. Be Gary did the original lead on the Album. I love Gary's lead stuff on tuesdays gone the Live at the fox album.

@@raybassman7536 I just meant he wasn't a "shredder", but a highly nuanced & gifted player. I agree completely. Just after I started playing, I found a new copy of OMFTR on the street, delivering papers on Sunday am. A "Street Survivor" before the album. I learned a lot playing along & learning. Didn't know it at the time but Gary ( & Allen & somewhat Steve ) taught me bends & so much more. Different players, but right up there with Gilmore in my top 5 ✌️

@@raybassman7536 PS - Tuesday's Gone was the 1st song I tried learning off OMFTR. Sweet Soulful bends & melody. These guys, and I mean the whole family through changes over time, were unmatchable. The current Tribute line-up continues that tradition with spot on killer performances. RIP Gary 🎶🎸🙏

Yes I knew what you meant. I love it when Gary holds notes out, It's so powerful the way he does it. Like in "I Need You." I had the privaledge and Honor to meet Gary and talk to him in a non rushed situation. There were getting ready to board the Bus pretty soon to play at an ampitheatre. I told Gary that even though I am a Bass player, I bought my first Les Paul because of him. I told him I used to listen to OMFTR at night with the lights turned off, and headphones on. I could see those guys playing on stage while listening. Gary Laughed , he got a kick out of that. Then I whipped out my" First And Last" album and he signed it for me.Gary was down to earth, He signed it like he was taught in school to write, so you can read it, No BS rockstar signiture.@@in2livinit

@@in2livinit The most accomplished guitar player was most likely "Ed King" but Gary & Alan have always been my favorite guitar players in the group. However, the guitar playing on "I Know A Little" is way out of my reach, and that was "Steve Gains" But "Swamp Music" was an "Ed King" tune. They had some killer, guitar work in all their tunes didn't they? Another killer guitarist that doesn't get mentioned much is "Duane Roland" Those first three "Molly Hatchet" albums were truly badass!"

Thanks so much!

Bringing back the good ol Saturday schedule :)

You're talking about that old "Albert King" lick. Gary loved the blues."

Gary loved the playing of Paul Kossoff a lot too. Albert king is so cool too, and with that special tuning he used to keep secret. There was a guitar magazine issue that rvealed the tuning once about 30 years ago.@@thebluesrockers

@@raybassman7536 You ever watch that concert with "Albert King" & "SRV? It's an amazing concert. You should look it up here on YT if you haven't ever seen it. It's one hell of a concert.

LOL so true!

No, but it's on my to-do list!

Thanks again! I play .10s on my Les Paul and prefer .9s on my Firebird. I am loving DR BLUES vintage strings right now.

My 2-cents... practice like you wanna sound when you actually play. Otherwise when you play, you may risk sounding like you're practising. Better to spend the extra time to really nail something down even if it takes longer opposed to shortcuts and "bad habits". As they say; old habits can be hard to break. Apologies for interjecting MHO Chucklee. Good luck !

@@markusferguson2985 thanks man. My uncle use to tell me. Screw that old saying practice makes perfect. He said if you are practicing wrong then how is whatever you are practicing gonna be right. That's what I've been doing. Just seems to make sense to have it down to muscle memory/habit. Is to do it all the time. Main reason I ask is because of short term memory loss I have from a car accident in 1990. It's so hard to remember so much at one time for me. But I guess take smaller bites.

I learned by copying a guitar player's style as closely as I could. In my early years I'd play a bunch of Rossington licks. It didn't sound great in the beginning, but over time it got closer to his style. That's how you learn to refine your playing.

Yes, Boss Katana and no other effects used.

what are they if you do mind sharing..i have a katana 50 mark 2 but im sure i could get close ..do you have a videos out showing the setting's..im a new subscriber..if not i'd like to see ya make one..Thanks Tom for all ya do@@TomsRockinGuitar

@@stingylizard I'm not to sure he reads a lot of his comments..not real sure but I think it would be a great tutorial video for him to do for a lynard skynard tone video..he seems to keep his answers short with most lol Good Luck still working on it off and on myself lol
