Brother, you just owned that song. I hope the all band members Skynyrd (in heaven and on earth) witness this. I am a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan & I have watched this at least a dozen times & it brings tears to my eyes EVERY time. I am not very musically talented, but it doesn't mean my ears & heart cant appreciate its beauty nonetheless. This is amazing and seeing as I don't know anyone who could play this as flawlessly as you, I would like to play this at my funeral. AMAZING job.
When my father realised i loved music he sent me on organ lessons. Now the diference of playing by notes and playing by ear is, you can allways put your tiny or big heart in the music you are playing and improvise of a very sweet way :). No sheets no notes written, every performance is unique and diferent one from another.
man, i'm so high at the moment , and I can tell you... This is one of the best things I've ever heard . You played it like a boss, you make a new awesome meaning of this song. And I'm talking about of one of the most beautifull music ever. Keep on rockin bro, thats all i ask! :)
1:16 If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? 1:32 For I must be traveling on now 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see But if I stay here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change 2:20 Oh, oh, oh, oh And the bird you cannot change And this bird, you cannot change Lord knows, I can't change 3:18 Bye-bye, baby, it's been sweet love, yeah, yeah Though this feelin' I can't change Please don't take it so badly 'Cause Lord knows, I'm to blame If I stay here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change 4:21 Oh, oh, oh, oh And the bird you cannot change And this bird, you cannot change Lord knows, I can't change Lord help me, I can't change 4:38 Lord, I can't change 4:44 Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
Very nice! It amazes me how many young people play music from the past. I'm 53. My son, who's 18, plays all the great stuff from the 70's. I was watching his UA-cam video when I found this. Great job!
I've been working REALLY hard like 3 hours a day, on his arrangement of this, for 7 days, can do up until about 4:50 (pretty much right before the solo) but not completely smooth all the way through. Since then it's been 3 days I haven't played it because I am working on another song I have to learn for this week, but I'm gonna go practice it right now! can't wait to learn it all. I'm gonna wait to do the solo until I've MASTERED playing it up to there
perfect pitch is where your ear is so good that you can discern a tone or key in a song perfectly, and when you sit down and try to play it you know the notes automatically. perfect pitch=having a really good ear
Wow this is so beautiful! You nailed it 100%. I was going to try and tackle this song myself, it’s very advanced for me so it’ll take time. Listening to you play it is very inspiring.
by far the best piano version that I've heard of this song on UA-cam! Great job! If you can play like this reagularly, I hope you're making some original stuff up so you can get your talent noticed faster
This is nothing more than AMAZING. This is THE #1 video I have ever seen. This makes me want to pick up piano again. Keep up the amazing work and someday you will be more famous than Mozart or anyone else.
I use to play the Piano, and would love to get back into it. This is truly a piece of fine work! Fantastic Job! What I can't understand, is HOW IN THE WORLD did this get 16 thumbs down?
Seriously....some people just can't appreciate good music and a good cover. Excellent job playing the piano. If the song isn't exact, then some people think it sucks. So VERY untrue. They just don't have an ear for any musical talent what so ever!!!!! Nice job!!!!!
Bravo! I didn't fast forward, I wanted to hear what you had start to finish. Color me impressed! p.s. it always draws a crowd because its a rock masterpiece and you do it justice. :)
I think I might have pissed my pants a bit... Holy shit, man. My face melted off watching that. This is one of my favorite songs and my favorite solo, and damn, you rocked it out on a piano. You've earned yourself a subscription.
I get joint pain in my hand from playing and I have been using essential oils… Have a mixture thats works wonders its a couple table spoons of coconut oil with a couple drops of peppermint oil in it mixed together… Just totally relieves the sore joints in the fingers and hand…PS bravo on your covers they are very tasteful…Keep up the good work…☮🔥
honest question. do you think Mozart himself if he had heard this song played on piano during his time, would've fallen over and needed resuscitation? I think he would've
This is incredible.. and you did it by ear, which is even more impressive! how long have you been playing the piano? you're amazing and have my respect.
Shit you rock! I just started to put the piano I have to use the last few months. Came home from a Lynyrd Skynyrd show tonight and was inspired as hell to look up some covers to work on. Thanks for sharing dude ! ❤️
SYJJEST SHOW #2 - I’ll give it a shot sometime next week with some new vids. I actually haven’t practiced this in a while 😮 lol. Posted 3 new ones over the last 3 weeks though!
The chords are G - D - e (Minor) - F - C - D. What I do is play a G octave (Left hand holds 2 Gs and right hand plays BDG.) Then a D (Left hand holds 2 F sharps and right hand plays ADFsharp.) Now the next chord is easy, it's just an E in the left hand and a full e minor chord in the right hand an octave higher. (This is played for twice as long as the previous chords) Now an F, which is two Fs in the left hand and ACF in the right. Now two Cs with the left hand, and GCE in the right (cont)
This is better than vkgoeswild's cover
yes way better
Yes. I agree. And I love Vkg's covers, but this one was not her style
Its AWESOOOOOME
Damn ye it is
The grand piano suits this song better than a keyboard

Both. Anyone can play a piece by ear with enough practice, but to hear a song, and sit down and play it without reading tabs or sheet music is a gift.
Solo starts at 4:47
***** i like you
That you kindly
Not true, it starts at 5:01
Thank you
Who cares? It's the intro that's beautiful.
10 years of this cover and I still love it
Thanks! Should I do a new version with a real microphone?
Richard Blumenfeld yes man that would be awesome😉
Richard Blumenfeld I'm happy to hear from you. I thought you left YT and I was sad. But now let's keep playing the piano😋
@@RichardBlumenfeldMusic Dude you totally should! I would love to hear it. You did a sick cover and I'd love to play it also :)
@@RichardBlumenfeldMusic yes
Woah, 16 years later and still keeps its quality. Some things never age
my fingers still hurt
the solo is sublime. i don't understand how they didn't cramp at all! bravo
Billy Powell would be proud. Please do a 2015 video of this cover. 👏👏👏
Richard Blumenfeld 7:09 on isn't in your sheet music, what are you glissando-ing?
Hey it's me do you have a copy of the Original Sheet music? I can't enter his link.
You should play this on a guitar, my fingers bleeded when I played this solo on guitar, really, blood
Who's gonna skip to 4:45, your soul must be prepared to the solo!
Respect Richard for learning songs by ear, that's how I do so.
Haha. Thanks! Perfect pitch + years of labor and practice in classical music + the Lord make it all possible.
This is still amazing 12 years past!

Can't stop replaying that solo
1:16
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
1:32
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
2:20
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
3:18
Bye-bye, baby, it's been sweet love, yeah, yeah
Though this feelin' I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
'Cause Lord knows, I'm to blame
If I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
4:21
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
4:38
Lord, I can't change
4:44
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah

Don't give up! I wanna see it!
Any chance of sharing the sheet music? Can't find it anywhere
Hey account 2 any chance you could point us to where you bought his arrangement? I've been looking for it everywhere. Thanks
I wonder if you ever managed to play the whole thing :)
How does this only have 190k hits. Best video on youtube.
I still listen to this piano cover 10 years later
Absolutely my favorite cover of my favorite song... Beautiful
15 years later still listening to this masterpiece
WOW. This is my favorite song ever and you suuure did it justice. Amazing job!
perfect pitch is where your ear is so good that you can discern a tone or key in a song perfectly, and when you sit down and try to play it you know the notes automatically. perfect pitch=having a really good ear
Justice was done! To one of the great iconic guitar rock solos , on a piano, well done👍👍
Have you ever thought of re-recording this? This is awesome
Simply Awesome! God bless Billy.
Wow this is so beautiful! You nailed it 100%. I was going to try and tackle this song myself, it’s very advanced for me so it’ll take time. Listening to you play it is very inspiring.
awesome playing.
awesome adaptation.
awesome song.
well played sir, well played.
thats some crazy playing man, especially on that guitar solo, it sounds just like it. All your video's are good.
I didn't even think that was even possible, you didn't even look like you blinked during the solo. Best piano work I've ever seen.
holy crap... that was unbelievable... nicely done man!!!
You are absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing your stunning talent!!
I clicked that replay again and again. Beautifully covered.
Totally unbelievable playing, brilliant talent
It somehow draws a crowd? I wonder why. This is very well done, the speed and accuracy with which you play is amazing.
by far the best piano version that I've heard of this song on UA-cam! Great job! If you can play like this reagularly, I hope you're making some original stuff up so you can get your talent noticed faster

Richard this is incredible! My favorite piano cover out here
I use to play the Piano, and would love to get back into it. This is truly a piece of fine work! Fantastic Job! What I can't understand, is HOW IN THE WORLD did this get 16 thumbs down?
Daaaaaamn! really nailed that jam instrumental towards the end, good work!
That was so amazing that I really dont know what to say. It was wonderful to hear and see that, man. :)
Seriously....some people just can't appreciate good music and a good cover. Excellent job playing the piano. If the song isn't exact, then some people think it sucks. So VERY untrue. They just don't have an ear for any musical talent what so ever!!!!! Nice job!!!!!
Bravo! I didn't fast forward, I wanted to hear what you had start to finish. Color me impressed!

Subscribing now.
Thank you !
Standing ovation frommy room, and shouting for an encore. Amazing !
Kind regards !
this beast memorized the whole thing
awesome work, love this song
honest question. do you think Mozart himself if he had heard this song played on piano during his time, would've fallen over and needed resuscitation? I think he would've
I think all of the big three would, Bach Beethoven and Mozart!
Nein
Not sure, but he would have liked it probably and tried to play it himself.
Just to show that he is better xD
this does something to my soul.
Great job! I think this is the best Free Bird vid I've seen on here. :) :) :)
i watch video everyday, still amazes me every time. thanks
i wept at the beauty of it.

Richard Blumenfeld so, when? Cannot wait!
SYJJEST SHOW #2 - I’ll give it a shot sometime next week with some new vids. I actually haven’t practiced this in a while 😮 lol. Posted 3 new ones over the last 3 weeks though!
@@RichardBlumenfeldMusic Can't wait!
AWESOME Billy would be proud!!!
Just outstanding
Dude. So good. Thank you for this pure love.
Arggg AMAZING!!! I love how you playing the piano!
dude you are amazing on the piano
OMFG Bravo! I love it, its a legendary song played so perfectly on the Piano!.
One of the best thing ive ever seen on youtube. More videos! :P
The chords are G - D - e (Minor) - F - C - D.
What I do is play a G octave (Left hand holds 2 Gs and right hand plays BDG.)
Then a D (Left hand holds 2 F sharps and right hand plays ADFsharp.)
Now the next chord is easy, it's just an E in the left hand and a full e minor chord in the right hand an octave higher. (This is played for twice as long as the previous chords)
Now an F, which is two Fs in the left hand and ACF in the right.
Now two Cs with the left hand, and GCE in the right (cont)
Dude how do u play so fast in the solo. that's seriously awesome. i learn't my freebird by ear too but i just cant play the solo that fast. Very cool.
I will learn this, just amazing
AWSOME MAN!
