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.
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'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
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 have watched her RUclips 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
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.
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 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.🎸❤️🔥
More important than knowing how to play is feeling how it should be played, one can tell that you can do both. Thumbs up. Music should be felt, on your skin, in your stomach, in your heart at all times or else it´s just a shallow instrument of entertainment. Only if you feel it does it come alive and touch people where it matters.
There are some women who use their looks to cover up their shortcomings, but she is not one of them. She has the talent and put in the work to be a fantastic guitar player. She’s not just a pretty face.
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!
@@stanleymyrick4068 Thanks for reply... like you, unsure how Sophia can use the metal slide on 1 finger and use rest of fingers sliding on strings playing cords without distracting from the clean slide sound. Of course, don't know how Sophia can 'shred' a classic song and make it sound better than original. This lady can play guitar... Joan Jett... Lita Ford... Nancy Wilson... Orianthi...would approve...
Maravillosa ejecución de este bonito tema de Lynyrd skynyrd, pájaro libre. Y además añades notas improvisadas de esa forma tan espectacular qué tienes de tocar la guitarra. Como tú bien dices,SOPHIE, eres la reina de este maravilloso instrumento musical que dominas a la perfección. SOPHIE, un saludo guapa❤❤❤
Классные композиции Софи!!! С большим удовольствием прослушал и посмотрел Твою виртуозную задушевную Игру!!! Твои Волосы блондинки очень красиво украшают Твой Образ Роковой музыкальной девушки!!! Спасибо за Красоту и Музыкальность!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤗🤗🤗
I have been a huge fan of Ms Sophie , back before her first tour with Machine Gun Kelly. Sophie is, by far, the most accomplished guitarist and she just keeps blowing awa😅😅😅y with each new shred. I can't wait for her to come to Minneapolis
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.
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.
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’s what I’m talking about!!Lynyrd Skynyrd!!They were from right up the road in Jacksonville, Florida. I love me some southern rock. Hope you will tour Florida..God bless you and your crew. 1st corinthians 15:51, 52
Jak ja czekałem na ten utwór w Twoim wykonaniu. Super energia, chodzisz po strunach a mi chodzą dreszcze po plecach. Czekam jeszcze na wykonanie "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" tej części utworu granej przez Erica Claptona w Twojej aranżacji. W Polsce też Cię słuchamy. Pozdrawiam 😊
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! ❤❤❤❤❤
🫵🏻😎🎸...... 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❤

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

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.
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
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?
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..... 🤤
Yes,yet again the beautifull heavy heavy metal sound of Sophie Loyd.
I have watched her RUclips 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

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.

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❤
One of my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd's song 🎵.
its everybody's favorite Skynard song!
She's a bad ass guitar player!!
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. ❤
Excellent! Sophie barely even has to look at her guitar. And the sweet smile to end it all.
Wow Sophie! I was around when that song hit the stage and your rendition just brought a tear to my eye. fantastic.
Awesome Sophie!!! Allen Collins and Gary Rossington would be so proud!!!!!
Thank Ya Ma'am...
Love Your Jams...
Rock On...🤘

Free bird is my favourite rock song of all time. Sophie you bloody nailed it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
WOW! Holy shit she is good!
❤You make it look so easy. Years of practice and dedication does that. Love your smile at 4:21 end fade-out. ❤
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.🎸❤️🔥
Sophie lloyd The Rock Queen
Brano bellissimo!!! Che dire: tecnica melodia e VERSATILITÀ!!!! Questa è SOPHIE!!;; THE GUITAR WOMAN! NUMBER ONE!😎👏👏👏💪🎸
Sono d accordo con te è fantastico come suona 😮😊
Great suggestion for a song too!
More like Rock Godess!!😊🙌🏽
She should try rehab for that 🤓
A phenomenal guitarist and a phenomenal beauty
More important than knowing how to play is feeling how it should be played, one can tell that you can do both. Thumbs up.
Music should be felt, on your skin, in your stomach, in your heart at all times or else it´s just a shallow instrument of entertainment. Only if you feel it does it come alive and touch people where it matters.
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 🤠
One of the best examples of "I really know what I am doing" that I have ever seen.
We're all kexcited, yeah! (Kicked and excited)! Cool!☺
Wow that was absolutely fucking awesome, this girl man
Isn't she fantastic?
Yes
Nah
Fantastic & Gorgeous!
Yep!
And she can shred!
Not bad
There are some women who use their looks to cover up their shortcomings, but she is not one of them. She has the talent and put in the work to be a fantastic guitar player. She’s not just a pretty face.
Agreed, this is pure talent!
All things considered, outdoor weekend music festivals are probably the most fun to perform at.
0:23
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!
I always watch her videos without sound and still feel so good.
She is hot in every way
Congratulations 👌 and I wish all success 🙌
Hello from New Jersey. Please tour here soon as possible! You are great.
0:55 can anyone tell me how she gets that clean sound on the slide without muting strings with her strumming fingers/hand?
She is truly talented and is not afraid to use it very well
@@SJR_Media_Group Yes, I agree. On a side note, can you answer my question?

Womans touch😉
Да, да, да.... Ты когда с гитарой наедине - и есть Свободная птица!!! ❤
ESO SE LLAMA : HACER HABLAR UNA GUITARRA ... 😘😘😘
Sophie é o Slash das mulheres , ou seja, a melhor 🤩

She is an amazing guitarist, incredible skills…and she is beautiful!
Классные композиции Софи!!!
С большим удовольствием прослушал и посмотрел Твою виртуозную задушевную Игру!!!
Твои Волосы блондинки очень красиво украшают Твой Образ Роковой музыкальной девушки!!!
Спасибо за Красоту и Музыкальность!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤗🤗🤗
Garry Rossington is smiling down on you and that amazing Skynyrd riff. You nailed it. This could be my favorite version - Damn!
I have been a huge fan of Ms Sophie , back before her first tour with Machine Gun Kelly. Sophie is, by far, the most accomplished guitarist and she just keeps blowing awa😅😅😅y with each new shred. I can't wait for her to come to Minneapolis
Actually your nail polish really makes it easy to see your finger placement 😊
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.
Always the Top
Congratulations! 🎉. Best to you! ❤ Nothing she can't play exceptionally well. 🎉
Super sophie👍💕
I am speechless. Everytime I see and listen to your magnificent performances
Dommage qu'il n'y est pas une deuxième Sophie Lloyd pour lui répondre en duo. Trop top cette interprétation.
I had no idea how simple the solo actually looked--that's great. Way to take all the big parts and make a great abridged version!
A good craftsman usually makes the complex look easy. It’s when you try to do it yourself that you realise it ain’t quite so simple.
Please come visit New Zealand with a music tour. Wishing you all the best for your first concert and I hope there will be many more.
I love watching you when you close your eyes! We can tell just how much you enjoy music and playing it. Bravo 👏
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.
Great job Ronnie Van Zant would be proud of that keep rocking.
I really wanted to hate this version because you were messing with Free bird but I can't. Wow, what a great version. Awesome!!!
Hot chic with a guitar playing the best solo of all time
What could be better?
I could listen to this woman play guitar all day.
I've never heard you speak before. Never knew you were one of us. Lovely to hear that English accent 😇
From the south or north of where?
Rossingtin is smiling down at you excellent lady 😊❤❤❤❤
Es hermoso verte y de escucharte, maravilloso como toca la guitarra 👏👏 besos enorme from Argentina
Im just wondering if Randy Rhoads knew he had a daughter😳 so talented you are Sophie Lloyd
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.

That verse is such a blessing brother🙏
this is just straight up GANGSTER!
Jak ja czekałem na ten utwór w Twoim wykonaniu. Super energia, chodzisz po strunach a mi chodzą dreszcze po plecach. Czekam jeszcze na wykonanie "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" tej części utworu granej przez Erica Claptona w Twojej aranżacji. W Polsce też Cię słuchamy. Pozdrawiam 😊
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! ❤❤❤❤❤
Quel talent !!!, la meilleure , avis personnel bien sûr.
London is a bit of a jag from Montana U. S. A. But I fully support you in spirit young lady! You are awesome!
Freebird...ugh...my high school class graduation song...grew sick of it way back then. But this time, not so bad, good job. Still can't dance to 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❤
София ты просто кайф!!!

The best female guitarist in the world!! Sophie is so hot and she jams! She could be a model too!
Love this song!!! My favorite song among others by Lynyrd Skynyrd’s.

This version is rushed. Freebird needs to be a procession that builds to a crescendo.
Esta linda mujer si toca muy bien la guitarra me encanta su forma de hacer música
One of my favorite songs
This song is my generations anthem. Sophie, about 2 minutes into the song I got goosebumps. Holy Shit that was Awesome!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is an awesome great band, i love this cover.
Hello Sophie you rock
