I've been playing this for 45 years. You are the first one I've seen play it accurately.

Finally some lessons where the notes and intervals are addressed and not shapes and finger/fret counting. Great lesson

I love the way you musically explain what we are doing. It helps me learn the fretboard and keys so much better ..

Timestamps: Intro Riff Example - 0:15 Intro Riff Lesson - 1:26 Intro Lead Example - 2:26 Intro Lead Lesson - 4:20 Lead Solo Lesson - 6:30 Thank you, Tom, for this video this has helped me a lot and I'm sure many others. The pedal steel bend is such a simple concept, but I've never seen anyone break it down as simply as you do.

No one ever talks about how great Lynyrd Skynyrds guitars players are,I think they're very good.

That was great, been one of my favorites since they did it. Thank you very much. Now I can play it and sing it, it's absolutely worth the 47 years I waited to learn it.

I don't even know how to play the guitar and I still like watching your videos. I like it when you play all the guitar parts of a song.

Man, love how you do your videos. I don't fall asleep as you slow down to show what you're doing. Keeps you on your feet & I think it's better to learn quickly because it's easier to play at the songs speed. Best tutorials I've found. Thanks for taking the time to helps those of us who can use all we can get. Look forward to what's next.If you take suggestions maybe Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull.

THE BEST mix of song tut + guitar layout \ theory... Much appreciated - Cheers from Seattle 🍻!

This one is definitely on my bucket list(it's a BIG list). Thanks for your great videos.

Just getting back into playing some Skynyrd and Allman Brothers, etc. and this is just what I needed. I like the way you explain it, putting the lead licks and the chords together. Makes more sense, to me, at least. Very informative. Thanks very much.

How is it you don’t have a larger audience is amazing to me. Your lessons are spot on with the theory behind what’s going on. Great stuff. Keep up the good stuff!

It's great to get some instructions on the Lynyrd songs, they are the real classics of the 70's that have been ignored for too long by the tab and instructional videos.

By far the best instructional video on this, Thanks Bud.

I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. My guess is the majority of players seeking instruction need the "third fret on the fourth string" type of instruction. I am not dogging them. I was there too. But, I am just chiming in to say thank for providing guidance to players who know where the notes are on the fretboard and understand chords, scales, and arpeggios and are just happy to have you give a shorthand sketch for them to fill in to learn these songs. Intermediate type of players. It is frustrating to wade through the beginner videos to get guidance on a song. I paid the lifetime membership on your site and it is well worth it, although I don't use it nearly enough. Thank you for what you do. I sincerely appreciate it. And for you other guys out there. No, I am not a friend or family member of his. I don't know him. This effusive praise is genuine. He is a very valuable resource. We live in time where we have experts giving us their life's work for free. I am 65. It wasn't always this way.

Thanks from Bergamo, Italy!!! It's one of my favorite songs ever!!! 😎🎸🤩

Great teaching, watched other videos for this and they were so blabby.. watched urs once and was done.. thank you

Great breakdown on the song here! Great job and thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Your explanations makes so much more sense than just put your fingers here and here. Great video.

I hadn't played this song since February 2020...the last gig my band played before the pandemic. I come by this lesson to revisit the song before rehearsals and find I've not been playing accurately in several places. It's quite nice when you hear someone play it slow and accurately...you can immediately tell it's correct. I love the additional theory talk as well. Thanks for the lesson!

thanks for all your help it is one of the best guitar licks to play in a bar awesome job

Concise, clear, snd to the point. Excellent! Thanks!

Great lesson, probably my favorite Skynyrd song, I’m about to get it, thanks🎸👍

Wow ! That was great , love how you broke it all down , thank you !

Bro!!! Thanks a ton. Those licks sound extremely hard, but once you slowed it down and explained 🤯

Thanks so much for the explanation of the the D pattern. I'm just a rookie trying to solo and that put it together for me. Big Skynyrd fan too. Great lesson

NICE. I LIKE HOW YOU JUST DDIDN'T PLAY IT BUT ASSOCIATED THE LICKS WITH THE CHORDS. THANKS!

Thanks for what you do.

Great tone man

Dude, that was awesome. Great teaching style, great playing, great tone. Well done, man.

Excellent tutorial! TY!

Great lesson wish you'd show the picking so l could see it just started to play lead,everything helps a rookie thanks

Great... Concise n good explanation 👍🏼🙏🏽❤️

Thanks for the lesson much appreciated. The most accurate way to play this song. It looks like I have my work cut out for me.

another great lesson thank you

Have most of their albums on vinyl. Legends !

Very helpful demonstration and. explanations. Thanks

They may be just basic Rock'n'Roll licks, but Gary sure makes them his own in this country-rock classic! Thanks for breaking it down for us. You don't spend precious minutes explaining every single note like some KZfaq teachers do. If people need that much in the way of a finger by finger guide, I would suggest that they are not of a sufficient level of ability to be attempting a difficult piece, and should instead attend to their practising. The skill will come in time and hopefully the videos will still be up to learn from then.

Your awesome !! Thanks for that I needed it

Fantastic lesson. Thank you. I picked up a few new ways to play and think about HOW I play.

Thank you for this!

Excellent lession

Great tutorial!

Excellent stuff. Made me subscribed ✌️

wow that was so good- spot on

Awesome, awesome, awesome 👏

Great lesson!

I can't put my finger on it, but your teaching style is super intelligible to me. I've watched some of my other favorite YT instructors cover this lesson and they don't do it as well as you. Good luck with your channel sir. Looking forward to learning more from you.

You're a good teacher.

Great Sound !

I can PLAY it close, and i can Show it, but no way could ever explain it like this, Excellent lesson.

Great lesson so much attention to small details

Thanks for the light !!!

Very nice video im pretty sure youre playing it perfectly

You taught we how to play the Breeze licks - thanks !

Fantastic

Good lesson.

I am nowhere near ready to learn this but you are crushing it lol

very nice job mate

It's good the way you use the names of chords and notes when teaching unlike other teachers using all those numbers. If a student don't know the notes on the neck of the guitar it's time he learned that first before trying to solo

If your goal is to play this song and sound like the recording, this is the guy/site to learn it from. 😎🎸✌Tim

Thank you great tutorial Steve manchester UK 🤘

Now I know where to find the best Skynyrd lessons

Awesome 👍🔥🎸🦅

Good teaching👍

Cool, thanks.

I went by The Jug a couple months ago man.., it’s just maybe a mile down the road from the VanZant’s house.. Always wished I could play a guitar, but life happens and I never had the chance to learn.., anyway thanks man, you’re spot on👍🏼

nice playing 👍

Yeah, well, that was all kinds of excellent.

God that is awesome . Wish I could do that

6:39 you capture string bending and sliding between notes. well done.

I was cutting the rug in a place called The Jug with a girl named Linda Lou. When in walked a man with a gun in his hand and he was looking for you know who.

Nice one

I was cutting the rug Down at place called The Jug With a girl named Linda Lou When in walked a man With a gun in his hand And he was looking for you know who He said, "Hey there, fellow With the hair colored yellow Whatcha tryin' to prove? 'Cause that's my woman there And I'm a man who cares And this might be all for you I said, excuse me I was scared and fearing for my life I was shaking like a leaf on a tree 'Cause he was lean, mean Big and bad, Lord Pointin' that gun on me "Oh, wait a minute, mister I didn't even kiss her Don't want no trouble with you And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me Ask one favor from you" "Oh, won't you Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister Gimme three steps toward the door? Gimme three steps, gimme three steps,…

As said early. Great tone

Jesus. You nailed the tone.

Well instructed! Thank you!

I might not play it perfect but I figured it out. The rhythm at least.

Great lesson. Question, not sure if someone already asked, but if you can remember, how did you get that Skynyrd tone on this lesson? Did you use a digital patch or did you go analog amp, pedal, etc. Trying to get that tone. thx.

It's the guys before Gains for me. It's true they get very little mention in the guitar world. Skynyrd will touch the soul. Ronnie conducted that band.

how can i make my slash standard with marshall head sound like yours? standard tuning?

Great tone! Can you say what amp, pedals, settings, etc are?

I have a general question. How do you study or what do you study to know the fretboard was well as you do. It appears that your understanding is a combination of notes, chords, and music theory. That would make a great lesson. Thanks

💯🎸💙

Plays it well knows his fret board but to and average player its light on notes and technique. Love the video AWESOME BAND! A little slower, call out the notes and explain picking pattern.

Gotta unlearn all the crap I’ve been doing. That was a lightbulb moment for me.

i need lessons please

How about a lesson on song by Thin Lizzy called Blues Boy?

what amp and effects are you using?

Fantastic explanation. Sounds great. What gauge strings do you have on this SG? Is it .009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042?

Is your name Gary Rossington by any chance?

Intro: 1:28 and 1:40 Lead 2:21

What amp are you playing thru?

Could I get tabs for this song?😊

Man that amp sounds fuckin yummy.

"Just to show you what he's doing real slowly, (Let me play it as fast as I can)"...lol

Should call the somg "gimme double stops" .. get it?? Haha 😂

Too advanced and fast for my skill level. That being said I still learned a couple of things on the first viewing. Certain to learn more in future views. Thank you for posting, BEST AND PEACE!

Doesn't Rossington chicken pick the lead???

I swear its like rocket science when somebody is explaining a gituar to me that shit takes alot of practice to get good even decent some are alot better than others always wanted to learn never have ..they make it look so easy its NOT!!
