Lynyrd Skynyrd – Free Bird (Music Video Synced W/Studio Recording)
April 16th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Alright, a lot more work went into this than you would think, but I guess it’s a good thing that you can’t tell just how difficult it was to create.
I feel I’ve done about as good of a job as I could to edit it together in such a way that the audio approximately matches the video.
The studio recording of Free Bird (extended ending of course) has here been overlaid atop a heavily edited version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1974 Hamburg (Germany) show.
Please understand this WAS NOT EASY. The video here bares little resemblance to the original footage I used (it is presented in a MUCH different order). Obviously it is impossible to get everything to line up perfectly. Throughout the verse I focused on getting Ronnie’s lips, Gary’s slide, and Allen’s chords in sync. Throughout the solo I focused only on Allen’s playing, Gary’s chords, and Bob’s drums.
If you have not seen the original recording of the 1974 Hamburg show, I urge that you PLEASE go watch it BEFORE watching this one, so you can appreciate how much editing this required!

The tempo through the verse was SLOWER than studio recording, and the tempo of the solo was FASTER than the studio recording.
It was a challenge to say the least!
Enjoy!
This is for Ronnie, Allen, Leon, and Billy – we remember you!

Jimi Hendrix – Home Recording 1983(a merman i should turn to
My info says Jimi Hendrix 1968 Hotel room New York comment if you know anything
Jimi Hendrix Jedi Knight !
lyrics Jimi Hendrix
Hurrah, I awake from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So my love, Catherina and me,
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to reborn,
away from lands so battered and torn
Forever, forever
Oh say, can you see it’s really such a mess
Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things,
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
as our feet find the sand,
and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead
Well it’s too bad that our friends, can’t be with us today
Well it’s too bad
The machine, that we built,
would never save us’, that’s what they say
(That’s why they ain’t coming with us today)
And they also said it’s impossible for a man to live and breathe under
water, forever,
was their main complaint
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God,
and the grace of the King (grace of the King)
(Yeah, yeah)
So my darling and I make love in the sand,
to salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise
Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style(oooh)…

Basic Home Studio Recording Equipment
This is a video I made for the hundreds of people who have asked me what I use to record with. Yes there are many other things out there and I have used a few of them. This is basic recording equipment without spending thousands of dollars and sounds just as good! I know I have had most and have compared many recordings to others like Pro Tools, and it was outrageous! Good recordings but too expensive for the same recording I get with what I use in this video. M Audio was another one worthless to me! Its was not that great and needed other things to get decent recording with. I dumped those off on ebay very quickly! Sorry if you bought them from me? lol! But they sucked in many ways! PODxt has Comp,Gate and everything else you will need in it when you create your tones in the Line6 Edit for your recordings. This way you can make sure that tone sounds correct in all levels and aspects then Push SAVE! You have that tone forever to use live or recording at any time! I know there are people that dont like Line6 and everyone I have ever met in person that didn’t like it. By the time I showed them how to create a decent tone for live or recording? They wanted it before leaving my house or stage at gig. Not knowing how to use something correctly can anyone off! Even band members that were still tearing down there equipment 45 minutes later were getting tired of seeing me walk off stage in 5 minutes with everything I needed. I’m done and they are still wrapping up there guitar chords and un hooking there pedals? And they still have to carry out amps, cabinets, and everything else. I love my stacks also! There awesome! But to have to haul them back and forth when the are becoming obsolete in stage setups? Big speakers are for looks anymore with the way most stages are already setup with all the house speakers needed for gigs. The only time I need a Cabinet and a Small Combo amp is when the place im playing only has electrical outlets. Then yes! You have to have all the rest of it. Parks, Parties etc… Other than that? Get ready for the future of music!
Equipment Details Needed:
1. Line 6 PODxt / PODxt 3/ Or PODxt Pro rack mount
2. Creative – Audigy 2Zs PCI Card for Laptops or regular sound blaster sound card with front bay for regular PC’s. These are great sound cards for this. There are others, thats your preference but I would make sure they are at least 24bit Advanced HD for better recordings!
3. Guitar Tracks Pro 3 by Cakewalk. Its a 32 track digital recording software that works great for any instrument! They do have other software thats your choice also. PODxt works with any of them.
4. 1/8″ to 1/8″ Stereo cable (Gold Tipped is the best for noise reduction)
5. 1/8″ to 1/4″ Stereo Adapter
The pedals that work with the PODxts are the FBV2 or the FBV Short board
Your PC or Laptop should be a Pentium 4 or better! At least 1.73GHz processor with 1.0GB or better in memory. The more memory the less chance for what is called dropouts in the recordings. The faster processor the better speeds and quality your recording will be also. The newer type computers you should have no problems with!
PODxt Live Floor Pedal Boards I am not sure if they have the right outputs needed for computer recording? I have never looked that closely at them to see if they can? I do know the the 3 I mentioned do! The Pocket Pod is not good enough and has no outputs to really do what I do. They are a practice take on the road or short walk type thing to me. Not for live or gig use.
Other Must Haves!
Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler:
This is a great thing to have for studio use or live use! It has a loop sampler in it that you can actually go up to 28 seconds of play that will repeat, stop. start back up by the click of a button at will! So cool to have! Solo can be worked on much easier with a repeating rhythm in the background. Then it has so many other delays in it that are really cool! Also a expression pedal that does things that cannot be re produced by any other pedal out there that I know of yet! To me right now after owning just about every top of the line amp, pedals or you name it! Line 6 is the “Best” thing I have ever used! Its going to be really hard for something to come out that I will like better than Line6!
Second Wah Pedal for cool thing to do in your playing and also a Nice amp for sure! I use Line 6 Flextone IIIXL 150 watt Combo Amp. It has all the features I need including being able to hook up into the mixer for any gig! It can also run 2 full stacks stereo with no problems! great amp!
