    Collins’ penchant for breaking chords up, hitting diads etc. along with his natural rhythm gives some great insight to his sense of melody and musicality. More than once , when learning a Skynyrd song, you pick up on these little details and wonder how did he come up with that- but it “works” . That was his magic , IMO

After all these years of trying and failing on my own, maybe I'll finally get somewhere with my Les Paul. Keep up the great work!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill Tom. Allen Collins a fantastic guitar player. His solo on Freebird is probably the one he is most known for, but I think his solo on Needle and the Spoon is amazing, great use of the wah pedal.

    Hi Tom!
    I'm from Germany, but I always loved the guitar playing from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
    I'm enjoying it, to see that you are deeply enjoyed playing this.
    To enjoy the own playing is the most important step if you decide to play guitar.
    I love to feel this. By my own and also watching it.
    So absolutely great!

      Man if you don't already know. Tom is really really good at deep diving into the little nuances and tiny technique aspects of what great guitarists are doing. And just as important he knows how to explain it to us. Just wait and see what he pulls out.

      Never have found one, who could play and explain that good!
      That's not right, there are a lot very good.
      But if you are searching this style.
      I think he is the best.

    Allen’s Rythm playing is a huge influence on my Rythm playing. Very percussive and rhythmic, almost like Malcolm Young in some Aspects. That P90 on his Firebird really made it to!

    Opposite of Gary. Ive always thought that Allen looked and sounded to me like he was trying to push the strings thru the neck. Where as Gary looked like someone needed to run up there and tell him. D. And G. And c. To me he was so laid back that youd almost think he wouldn't be in time. Which thats a lot to do with him barely moving his picking hand.😮
