    In prison we had a "talent show"...my band applied to perform not expecting to win just wanted the extra time out of our cells and to rock out. We played this, turn the page, NIB, and some AC/DC. We won the show and got the prize a whole 25.00 on our commissary 🤣. Every day after that when we went to yard (outdoor rec) and would play guitar a lot of inmates as well as guards would stand and listen the whole 2 hours each day providing us with commissary items and such as a thank you for helping them escape the harsh reality of incarceration and imprisonment. Our band was L.O.K.I. all we played was southern rock and metal. Amazing how music transcends the mind away to happier times and places when the body and brain are experiencing extreme highs as well as extreme lows providing strength and clarity in life.... Great music is a drug of choice for me that is an insatiable hunger and addiction. Great rendition of freebird

    Good job! I was wondering how they would end it. That's the hardest thing to do when you're just jamming on a song that you haven't rehearsed with that line up.
    Years ago, I was staying in the house of a deceased relative until the family could disperse of all the valuable stuff she had. With a big living room with most of the furniture gone, I thought "What a perfect opportunity to jam." I already had my drums there so I was able to assemble two guitar players, a bass player, and the obligatory girlfriend that plays the tambourine, in about three hours, and we jammed into the night. We just happened to be playing Freebird, and I was trying to get everybody's attention to try to end it together, and the cops knocked on the door. Everyone stopped playing. Ever since that night/morning, I believe you should play Freebird until the cops show up.

      That's very cool! I would love to hear it. My dad is the one who taught me the beer bottle trick back in the late 60's, and I think he got it from watching a Tele great do it back then. Danny Gatton maybe? I used to play this on bass as well, and you are correct, it is not an easy line at all and takes a lot of finesse, especially during that solo. None of this song should be taken easily.

    I’ve seen some good runs of the riff, but this is the first one that I could put next to the original and not be able to tell the difference. This must have taken years, maybe even decades, of dedication to this instrument. That’s incredible.

    I'm sure the band were trolling the audience for the first half of the song with out of tune slide, out of tune vocals, forgotten lyrics etc.......

      @@jimwoodard64 Well you more than redeemed yourselves mate. At least you can play the song, and once you got into the song it was a great cover mate.
      Maybe you should deliberately troll the audience in future when someone shouts for Freebird....pretend you don't know the chords, play the wrong chords, sing the wrong words, play some dodgy slide etc.....then hit the solo the way you did here and watch everybody pick their jaw up off the floor, that would be funny 😆👍

Gives me classic rock vibes, got to admit I'm not heavily into classic rock, I'm more of a death metal kind-of guy, so I can't actually name any artist you sound similar to but nevertheless, gives the right vibes and fits the sound completely. Very nicely done. :)
      Will look out for your gear videos, I myself play a Jackson 5-string David Ellefson signature bass as a main, and an Epiphone Les Paul or a PRS SE AX20E for when I occasionally have to get my guitar out!
