Hi guys ! I've played the Billy Powell's solo on Tuesday's Gone on Piano ! Check it out ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab93qNJosLO9kqc.html

ed king was Mr get every note perfect..Gary was Mr Rhythem n slide..Allen was Mr fast n furious..Stevie was Mr technical and just dam incredible.

Ed King said on his website that he played this solo on a Gibson SG with the front pickup and the tone control turned all the way down. What a sound.

This is the most incredible band of perfection with unbelievable work to deliver the best to the fans over and over again vanzant was and is a rock god truly gave his all to meet his goals unreal never will be match thank God I was able to experience this live and forever.

Ed King the unsung hero.

Also: 'Was I Right or Wrong', 'I Know A Little', 'All I Can Do is Write About it in a Song', 'Ballad of Curtis Loew', 'Things Going On', 'T for Texas', 'Call Me the Breeze', and 'Mississippi Kid' - put it this way, there are no bad Skynyrd songs.

I never see "One More Time" on these types of lists. It is so HOT 🔥!

The greatest rock and roll band to ever do it no doubt

off the top of my head i love,the solo in wino,solo at the end of comin home.both solos in on the hunt,the solo in needle and the spoon.hell,i love em all.

I just could imagine how much more awesome music the ones who passed could have been made. RIP SORELY MISSED for sure

I guess the point is what you hear. I hear them all!! Collins was lightning fingered, Gaines had such great blues feel and was fast as Collins and bridged the gap between Collins and Rossington, But Rossington could bend the strings with the best of them and terrific slide. Ed King was a technical wizard. I can't for the life of me pick one! I think thats why the band was so successful live and in the studio. Of course, we can't forget Leon Billy and Artimus all terrific on their instruments and the greatest lead singer and lyricist Ronnie. But this is about guitar solos and everyone pitched in with their best so all arguments are true! They all were the best!!

This first solo was written by Ed King. If you listen you can hear a strat playing it

I have tons of love for this band !

Tom saguto can do all these solos just about, amazing man that teaches every players solo and how they played look him up!

Choosing the best quitar solos of Skynyrd is even more impossible task than choosing best songs. There was four excellent and one of a kind quitar players in the band with unique styles. But one thing you are surely missing is Ed King. Think he did some freaky shit with his solos, no one plays like he did! But as I said, think they were all just great! But thanks for this compilation with great photos!

One of my very favorite Skynyrd tunes, and one that shows the breadth of their skills is "Ballad of Curtis Loew". Absolutely love that song.

Skynyrd had 4 of the best guitarist around with Gary, Allan, Ed and Steve my favorite solo is Gary and Allan playing ‘ Searching’ live at the Fox awesome

Well Ed told me that he did the lead on Am I Losin and thats why it is also so outstanding...he also in honor of 3 other famous southern rock lead players played each part specially for them ...if it wasn't for Ed King Skynyrd would not have been as big as they were...that guy added alot to that band and never got credit for what he did...Ed King deserves as much respect as anyone else in the band.. most of the more famous hits are written by/with Ed King...

4th solo Jax Kid beginning at 2:24 by Steve Gaines not Gary. Listen closely at 2:39-2:40 and you'll hear the overdub punch in as two guitar solos overlap momentarily.

4:03 Love Steve's solo here. Love it!!

jacksonville kid! thanks for going beyond the hits man.

@TonyBeazley Ed's contribution to the band is often overlooked but not by those of us that "know" Skynyrd and who made them so special. Ed is a killer guitarist and writer!!!!

The solos from you run around are just mind blowing in my opinion I just love the melody and emotion I love it at 7:15

I've heard Roll Gypsy Roll. It's on my favorite Skynyrd album. Every single track on Gimme Back My Bullets is amazing.

The 5th solo in "You got that right" features Steve AND Allen , together.

Skynyrd it’s as simple as that , makes me wanna cry , growing up with them guy’s in my era great stuff

As a 45yr old professional guitarist from the deep south skynyrd hasn't just been an influence, but they literally wrote the soundtrack for "My Life" That being said, Holy shit the song Jacksonville Kid with Gary playing lead? It's nothing like I had ever heard from the band. Why oh why has was Garys roots and fundamental style been hidden for so long? It's absolutely insane! That style of picking is not something you learn or do for a song... It's afundimental style (flat picking/travis picking) that as a guitarist I know he's been working on his whole life... And don't try to act like he done it for one song Jacksonville kid that 45 years I've never heard on the radio nor have I listened to it on one of their released albums... Gary man if your listening, your the fucking man... Nashville ain't got shit on you! Not kieth urban, brad paisley ZIP! .

it was only after Ed King departed that Steve Gaines joined. His sister Cassie was in the band first, they went to hear Steve play in Kansas City, i think and were extremely impressed!

The first solo was Actually Ed King playing it. He played it on his 1964 Gibson SG. The solo itself is in a more aggressive style both tonally and notes for laid back creamy tone Rossington

kinda partial to Steve's solos, grew up in the same area of the world. Great addition to Skynyrd just ended way to soon...

Finally someone showing Gary Rossington some ❤️. Most comments I read on things that have Skynyrd on them, they go on & on abt how great Allen, Ed & a few Steve. Some people said Gary is an average guitar player. I am not sure what they are listening to but thank you. What a great band, sky would have been the limit. I love all 4 guitar payers, all were super talented & so amazing how they made the 3rd guitar army sound so damn good is impressive. They all had great solos, glad to see Billy getting some love as well. Hid rock boogie woogie style just makes me so happy listening to it. Maybe they were other piano player technically better, although he was classically trained. Can't imagine Skynyrd without all his great solos. I've Call me the Breeze, Gary great quitar & Billy some mean piano playing.

"You run around" solo One of the greatest

Ed King... The first three albums, Sweet Home, etc.

Imho best Skynyrd solos were all performed on the same song! “ That Smell” is a guitar solo extravaganza! Made me learn to play guitar! 46 yrs and it still makes me tingle when I hear them play off one another

Sweet Home live...hands down!

the steve gaines sweet home solo is alsome!!! I love that unique sound

all are great, thanks for posting.

SimpleMan lotch of thanks m8, for making me search more about this Legendary Band. GOD WHAT A BAND ... SO MUCH TALLENT THOSE DAYS...

Great solos, nicely curated and well paced selection. Thanks I couldn’t help hearing just how much of the sound under the solos be fitted from Billy Powell’s piano and organ playing.

You got that right solo one of my favs. Sounds an awful like Allen Collins. He's got that bridge pickup going from his Tele/Strat or one of his Firebirds. The doubled part was one of Allen's preferences in the studio, and you can hear Allen's style with a little Freebird coda solo reprised around 3;38. Love that alternate live take from Sweet Home too!

Ed said in an interview that the am I losing solo was his tribute to Toy Caldwell so I'm pretty sure he played it

JUST AMAZING. THANK GOD HE'S STILL ALIVE

@Raksmey89 You can start with the first two albums ("pronounced 'leh-'nérd'skin-'nérd" and "second helping") in which you can find almost all the well-known Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. It's amazing how good these guys where even from the very beggining.

Am I losin solo is Ed.. not Gary

Yes, you right. Thanks for you posting, it's a very good information.

Thanks Buckee64. There are solo where I don't know who's playing. And the solo of Workin' for MCA is very awesome but I prefere the Gaines'solo. You will be able to listen this solo in part 3. Thanks for you posting :D

And the 4th solo was honkytonk night time man and was Steve Gaines...Gary did the slide

I agree and I think that he, like George Harrison were both sooooo underestimated. Just makes me sick we lost both of em. God bless you Steve and George. Thanks for soooo many hair standing on my arms moments. Rock on!

And the drumming kicks ass!!

*Awesome Playing*

Leon Wilkeson passed away as well........Gary is all that is left from the classic line up.

I believe the Am I Losing solo is actually Ed King.

Fantastic, thanks for posting. The fact is Steve, Allen, and Gary all kick ass. All three are very near or right at the top of a huge mountain of geat guitar players. But if you really put me to it, Gary hits me where I live.

You got that right solo had Alan playing in harmony on his Explorer.

it doesn't matter they are all great. All different styles but all just right.The biggest tragedy in music history in my opinion has robbed us of many more great songs. R.I.P. brothers you are sadly missed

4 greatest guitarists off all time...Gary is my favorite though.

Ed King played the solo on "Am I losin"

The solo on Jacksonville Kid was played by Steve Gaines. Different lyrics to the music of Honkey Tonk Nighttime Man.

yeah! of course :D

The needle and the spoon's solo which I prefer was played during the concert : Live in Cardiff The Unreleased KBFH Show 1975. AWESOME ^^

ED KING did the Lead in "Am I Losin"!

So many awesome songs that never got airplay...RIP to one of the greatest bands this world has ever heard....SKYNYRD..!!

can you link me to a video with the full version because i've always loved that solo too but idk if my version is cut off, it doesn't seem like it, but he's still playing when it fades out?

Yes, you are right ^^

They were all great 👍 Most talented composers and live showman.

@Raksmey89 Im 47 and skynyrd has ben my favorite band from back around 76 a year or so before the plane crash and they have always ben blessed with great talent and a lot of history through the years. from the beginning to currant. you cant go wrong with any album old or currant! and dont forget they were rossington collins band and a few others for a wile after the crash. My friend if you are just finding out about groop tere is a hell of a lot to learn.But they are truly a all american band

That not Gary Rossington playing that solo on Am I Losin, it's Ed King. Geez!

2nd solo from Roll Gipsy Roll in your video is Allen not Gary. There is so much energy into Allen's solos. You can not miss them.

Nice

@HerbStalkband You took the words right out of my mouth. Ed King is playing the first solo on a strat on "Am I Losin". 4th solo "Jacksonville Kid is " Steve Gaines" playing a Strat. Gary only played the les paul crunch pinch harmonic type leads and most slide.

"Simple Man, saturday night special, gimme back my bullets, that smell, i ain't the one, am I losin', comin' home, I need you, I never dreamed, Tuesday's gone, Gimme three steps, Searchin" for the Old skynyrd. And for the new : "the last rebel, devil in a bottle, tomorrow's goodbye, red white and blue, Lucky man, gifted hands" You know all the songs are fantastics and my list is not complete

You are correct friend.

1st solo was actually Ed king..his tribute to toy Caldwell 🤘

4:05 Favorite solo EVER

How can anyone of you folks give even 1 thumb down to any of Skynyrd's music!!! Curt Lo

2:27 That sounds more like Steve Gaines than Gary Rossington to me.

@TonyBeazley I agree with you on that T My husband and I have been fans forever. Its a shame that this happens with many bands. But the true fans are aware. All of the band members should be recognized for there contributions at all times. NUFF SAID

The only answer to this question is BOTH solos in Comin' Home

That's Ed King doing the solo in Am I Losin, not GR.

Hi, simple man. Tu es vraiment simple ! Tu ne reconnais pas les styles des 4 guitaristes, tu mélanges tout. Enfin, tu as le mérite de poster du LS, un des meilleurs groupes de rock du siècle dernier. Y en a-t-til de pareil au XXIème ? Personnellement, je continue à pleurer ce f…... plane crash, surtout (artistiquement) pour Steve G. qui était un guitare hero de la trempe de Jimi Hendrix, in my opinion... Amitiés françaises, Claude

That solo at 2:25 has Steve Gaines written all over it .. that is not Gary Rossington

yeah you right

Okay so the song at 6:48, You run around, was one that I could not find anywhere. there's no track labeled that on the first album. someone guide me where to find that because i NEED it

I like Gary's soulful style, but Steve was very melodic. The Strat fit him well. His fills on the live version of "Breeze" are classic.

Hey Simpleman : The Am I loosin solo was Ed King on his Gibson SG & you cut off the best part of it. I gave you a thumbs up because You are a Skynyrd Fan.

C'mon OKie!!!

You left out Ed King, who btw did the first solo on your video "Am I losin' " You can even hear him do a signature lick from "Sweet home Alabama" in the solo (he wrote and did the solo on Sweet Home Alabama)

nice compilation buddy!

@Raksmey89 The ones I really like are "I know a little" and "That Smell". I play guitar and try learning these songs - I know a little is a fast blues song and a challenge for me play. That Smell - dark in nature - but has a great guitar solos and vocals. Great Band!

oh no i found it already =). i love that song its called need all my friends.

I love all this great men of skynyrd but I have to say ( their all very special to me) but Steve is a rare gem 💎 these kinds of gems don’t come along everyday or everyb15 , 20 years for that matter 😢

am i losin thats ed king not gary

how do you know?

Well selected Simpleman44 All are excellent, hard to say who is the best. Thanks

Ed king played that very first solo. Not Gary. He talked about it and played it in a interview a few years ago before he past. He was using the same SG he recorded it with.

yeah, I made a mistake sorry ^^

Are you sure thats Gary playing on Roll Gypsy Roll? It sounds like allen, the rythem in the background sounds like gary

ED KING WROTE/PLAYS "AM I LOSING" SOLO. NOT ROSSINGTON

AM I Losin solo is Ed King on a 1964 gibson SG

Some of these solos are credited wrong. Am I Losing is Ed King not Gary Rossington. (Ed is playing a Gibson SG on that one rather than his usual Stratocaster.) The solo on Roll Gypsy Roll is Allen Collins. The Jacksonville Kid solo is definitely not Gary Rossington, that is Steve Gaines. The solo on You Got That Right is Allen Collins.
