"Free Bird" is a song by American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, written by guitarist Allen Collins and lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. The song is featured on their 1973 debut album.
Released as a single in November 1974, "Free Bird" entered the US Billboard Hot 100 on November 23 at No. 87 and became the band's second Top 40 hit in early 1975, peaking at No. 19 on January 25. A live version of the song reentered the charts in late 1976, eventually peaking at No. 38 in January 1977.
"Free Bird" achieved the No. 8 spot on Guitar World's 50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time. It is Lynyrd Skynyrd's signature song, the finale during live performances, and their longest song, often going well over 14 minutes when played live.

I believe this song is generally considered to be Skynyrd's magnum opus and our rendition sounds fantastic ! I really cannot thank each of you enough ! Take a bow ! I will be closing the collab unless anyone has any mix suggestions ?
Hi all, hi Frank thx1138 , here's 3 keys tracks. to be merged in one track once each level will be definitive.
Everyone sounds amazing! thx1138 - Acoustic posted. I tried my best to catch all of the nuances of the original. Feel free to mix it how you want it. Well done all.
Here is my track. I hope it lives up to all of you. As usual there are some inaccuracies here and there... Unfortunately for me, I play by instinct and it's impossible for me not to get something wrong. I will never be a "session man"!
