Super excited to rock out with you guys at my first US headline show at at The Whisky, LA on 16th January 2025🤘🏼 I will be performing songs from my debut album, Imposter Syndrome and a bunch of your favourite shred versions 🎸 Featuring some of the incredible artists from the album, look out for announcements on who might be joining me this week 🤫👀 TICKETS 🎟 : www.ticketweb.com/event/sophie-lloyd-whisky-a-go-go-tickets/13891423?pl=wagg VIP PACKAGES 🤩 : www.sophieguitar.com/product-page/whisky-a-go-go-vip-16th-january-2025
Not a "paint-job"...all that figuring is the wood, the color is stain, the finish is any of multiple options from alcohol based to alkyd,to urathane, to epoxy.
I've never seen anybody in any cover do the slide part even close to right, so you have impressed me as always. Also, this is more than a SHRED VERSION, with clarity, imagination, respect and fun. Sophie's quick, but doesn't lose the feeling between the notes...BRAVO!
Not being fast just for fast sake …that seems a toUgh line to not cross with most shredders .. she definitely walked up to the line , and said nope im staying musical 😜👏🏼👍🏼
only just found this channel as an ageing rocker(i,m 67 but still rocking)what a sensational talent,beautifully played fabulous sounding rendition of a true classic supremely gifted and beautiful young lady fan for life now keep on rocking thank you
I have watched her UA-cam channel for years and i am blown away with her skills her finger are wild on the string, the sound is so pure, congregation on your success, you deserved it and work hard to get there
Sophie proves why Freebird is the greatest song of all time. The rhythm section is spot on and setups up perfectly for Sophie to lay down the most rockin’ trippy guitar solo ever. Absolutely awesome and a superior Hi-Fi Trippy Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Stereo Recording. Totally awesome sound quality.
Lenard Skynyrd would've been very proud, pleased and grateful to have had such an amazing proformance by such an amazing hard practicing guitarist/soloist! Absolutely well done! Love from all of us In the Philadelphia PA area and South Jersey area!!!! XXX you got our vote
I'm of an age to have made a recording of Lynyrd Skynyrd playing this on the Old Grey Whistle Test. I used my Dad's reel to reel tape recorder and had the microphone dangling in front of the b & w telly's speaker. We played that live set over and over. Never for one moment thought that 50 years later I'd be watching a young english woman playing it with such skill and passion. Great stuff.
Loyd or Lloyd is a Welsh name, like Jones, Williams, Burton/Burden...call her British, if you will . BTW,the Sur Richard Burton who married London-born Elizabeth Taylor (her real name).. twice! Didn't speak English until he was 11.
The ORIGINAL version played by ALLEN is a "Shred version", this just happens to be Sophie's version, and she did a great job!! But remember back 50 years ago, Allen was one of the OG's of the shredding world, and he WROTE the shred.
Speechless! Blown away! I'm definitely going to have to invent another word to describe what the die hard Lynyrd Skynyrd fan that I am feels when listening to this cover. Gary's sensitivity on the slide part that you almost never hear during covers and Alen's virtuosity. I'm sure from where they are now, they're cheering wildly. Nice job nicely done as always!
She nailed this!!!. Love her I grew up and live in the city Lynyrd Skynyrd is from. I never got the chance to see the original band in concert but ,did meet he pianist Billy Powell in person.
I am in the States.I would give anything to see her perform. I've been in love with the way she plays the first video I saw of her.Keep smiling and shredding❤
I have never seen or heard that song played like that. One of the best bands ever. You Rocked it. You have fingers of Gold. Oh my God. You are a Super Star for sure. You always make my Heart and Soul Dance. You’re the best.🎸❤️🔥
wow - well done. One of my favourite songs of all time. You play the slide guitar very different as I play this. This is for me as an old guy of 64 years very intersting! Go on!!! I love you!
HECK YEA SOPHIE !! Wow your entire video & music rendition of this timeless classic is now on the top of my list of favorite all time go- to female guitar cover playlist❤
I personally think she's got a wonderful career ahead of her. Wonderful! She's done extremely well and we should all be really proud of her pure angel. God bless!
As an old dude and long time Skynyrd fan I think the three guitar players Allen Collins, Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines roll over in their graves when someone tries to cover Free Bird but Sophie you did it justice and I think those three are smiling listening to you play.
You know what? I loved this video for two reasons. First, its shows what a great guitarist you are, beyond any doubt. Second, this time I wasn't distracted by any body parts so all I did was listen to some dame good shredding! Keep it up like this Sophie your musical talent alone is enough to be a star. Love your music!
That was epic Sophie, have been a Skynyrd fan since before they recorded that song (giving away my age haha), which is also my fav song by them... you did a damn good job of making that sound as if it were Lynyrd Skynyrd playing it, way to go!
Lovely Sophie !! Amazing arrangement as usual. I’m still waiting for Sound of Silence from you ( impatiently) lol. Aside from playing so clean and seemingly effortlessly your tone and taste are impeccable!! Don’t go gettin a big head now !!!
Daaaamn great job loved especially the plectre-tapping on the 3rd beat of the solo I've seen ppl do that differently but this was actually way better also the SOUND of guitar + amps is great AND your looks are not bad
Baby that was badazz!!! I just saw this then listened to it over and over. You did a great job shortening it up to get a little of everything in a vid for a long long song. Loved it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
🫵🏻😎🎸...... Brilliant ! You rocked it, and you played it grasping the tone and spirit of an Iconic Southern Fried Rock n Roll, you didn't over effect it, not overly distorted, fantastic Sophie❤
I am usually VERY protective of this song...but you did really well with it. You gave this song the respect that it deserves, and kept true to the feel and authenticity of it. You chose not to junk it up with a bunch of bullshit that would have turned this real classic into just a weird caricature, and yet you still tastefully made it your own. I love this so much. My hat is off to you Sophie... john.
Wow Sophie you truly are the best! Freebird is absolutely one of the best songs ever means a lot to me and you totally rocked it! God bless you Sophie! ❤❤❤❤❤
Long time coming!!it's a bit far from here in British Columbia 🇨🇦 Canada,but ,super stoked for such a talent,we 🇨🇦 know You'll knock it outta tha Park🎉! Cheers
Great to see a new Sophie shred in You Tube has been a little while and its highly appreciated. Looking forward to grabbing the audio file from the Patron download site. This was a really different shred for me and I have to say it really worked. Sometimes shreds need to be a million notes and jumping all over the fret board to work. I notice with this one it was a lot more about repetitive patterns and bends to get the feel for the song (with of course some Sophie shred magic mixed in) and really felt it brings more soul to the shred whilst still clearly being a shred..... so different..... but great. thanks
Great Sophie!!! I love your shred versions. I wish you all the best for your show. Knowing you, you will take your audience by storm. Best wishes from Andy from Austria.

great cover I got your cd and love it hope the shoe=w leads to a world wide tour best of luck
Dunno if you answer comments… but is there any chance Trevor will be at the show?
done
just done
Sophie, please we need your guitar tabs.......
Gary Rossington and Allen Collins would be proud of Sophie. RIP to both of them
You sure got that right
Steve Gaines
Indeed. Gifted guitarists passed way too soon, however their music lives on.
Whoever did the paint job on that guitar hats off to them, it's beautiful.
I dont think the Kiesel guitars are hand made manually, i think its factory sprayed but i might be wrong.
@@BeowulfGaming They're custom built and sprayed by one person which is why there's a wait for them! Watch my Kiesel Tour video!
Not a "paint-job"...all that figuring is the wood, the color is stain, the finish is any of multiple options from alcohol based to alkyd,to urathane, to epoxy.
@@SophieLloyd That's ONE person's handiwork? My word, hats off to them..
You're watching the guitar?
I've never seen anybody in any cover do the slide part even close to right, so you have impressed me as always.
Also, this is more than a SHRED VERSION, with clarity, imagination, respect and fun. Sophie's quick, but doesn't lose the feeling between the notes...BRAVO!
Not being fast just for fast sake …that seems a toUgh line to not cross with most shredders .. she definitely walked up to the line , and said nope im staying musical 😜👏🏼👍🏼
0:05 she have cute voice
She's good, no doubt, but listen to classic southern rock and blues if you want to see amazing slide performances.
Awesome Sophie!!! Allen Collins and Gary Rossington would be so proud!!!!!
only just found this channel as an ageing rocker(i,m 67 but still rocking)what a sensational talent,beautifully played fabulous sounding rendition of a true classic supremely gifted and beautiful young lady fan for life now keep on rocking thank you
I have watched her UA-cam channel for years and i am blown away with her skills her finger are wild on the string,
the sound is so pure,
congregation on your success, you deserved it and work hard to get there
Yes,yet again the beautifull heavy heavy metal sound of Sophie Loyd.
Sophie proves why Freebird is the greatest song of all time. The rhythm section is spot on and setups up perfectly for Sophie to lay down the most rockin’ trippy guitar solo ever. Absolutely awesome and a superior Hi-Fi Trippy Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Stereo Recording. Totally awesome sound quality.
Lenard Skynyrd would've been very proud, pleased and grateful to have had such an amazing proformance by such an amazing hard practicing guitarist/soloist! Absolutely well done!
Love from all of us In the Philadelphia PA area and South Jersey area!!!! XXX you got our vote
as a guitarist for 45 years, this gave me goose bumps. Great phrasing Sophie - loved the little shreddy improv parts you used - very tasteful
It gave me a bump too.....just one.....lol..... 🤤
Wow Sophie! I was around when that song hit the stage and your rendition just brought a tear to my eye. fantastic.
Excellent! Sophie barely even has to look at her guitar. And the sweet smile to end it all.
I'm of an age to have made a recording of Lynyrd Skynyrd playing this on the Old Grey Whistle Test. I used my Dad's reel to reel tape recorder and had the microphone dangling in front of the b & w telly's speaker. We played that live set over and over.

BTW,the Sur Richard Burton who married London-born Elizabeth Taylor (her real name).. twice! Didn't speak English until he was 11.
I’ve seen many covers of this song. This is by far the best one, amazing job Sophie. 🤩🤘
The super fast pick action leads me to believe she has more talents she's hiding 🤠
We're all kexcited, yeah! (Kicked and excited)! Cool!☺
The ORIGINAL version played by ALLEN is a "Shred version", this just happens to be Sophie's version, and she did a great job!!
But remember back 50 years ago, Allen was one of the OG's of the shredding world, and he WROTE the shred.
One of the best examples of "I really know what I am doing" that I have ever seen.
Speechless! Blown away! I'm definitely going to have to invent another word to describe what the die hard Lynyrd Skynyrd fan that I am feels when listening to this cover.
Gary's sensitivity on the slide part that you almost never hear during covers and Alen's virtuosity.
I'm sure from where they are now, they're cheering wildly.
Nice job nicely done as always!
Thank Ya Ma'am...
Love Your Jams...
Rock On...🤘
Free bird is my favourite rock song of all time. Sophie you bloody nailed it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd's song 🎵.
its everybody's favorite Skynard song!
She nailed this!!!. Love her I grew up and live in the city Lynyrd Skynyrd is from. I never got the chance to see the original band in concert but ,did meet he pianist Billy Powell in person.
The boys are smiling down on you ❤thank you I have every note ingrained in my mind and my goodness you nailed it ❤
100%!! She stayed true to the original, nailed every note, and flavored it with her style and modern electronics. ❤
I am in the States.I would give anything to see her perform. I've been in love with the way she plays the first video I saw of her.Keep smiling and shredding❤

Really awesome. Remember when i was 15 and this song came out. Awesome music and you really made it justice!
As an old dude and long time Skynyrd fan I think the three guitar players Allen Collins, Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines roll over in their graves when someone tries to cover Free Bird but Sophie you did it justice and I think those three are smiling listening to you play.
