Concerning Free Bird...

I decided to try Free Bird on expert once and I actually made it to 60% before failing. I was actually quite surprised but at Solo C, I used SP and I anchored red and tried strumming to the yellows. When Solo C ended, I was blinking red and I failed at Solo D due to hard rhythm and my rock meter wasn't high enough to carry me through.

I got GH2 and played through the last 4 tiers in one sitting. Sweat was pouring out of me and my hand felt dizzy (on medium lawl), then I got the same ole...

I heard Freebird on GH. My friend was flipping out on me because I never even heard of Lynard Skynard -prepares for flaming-, but yeah I was playing on medium. The day I saw it on expert I sat there with my jaw dropped knowing I would never be able to do it. But I can 5* today so yeah ^_^.

Of course I had heard Free Bird before guitar hero, its pretty much impossible to manage to NOT hear it before this game. I had no trouble on it on medium and hard, but as i was holding down that blue note the first time I played it on expert I remember thinking, oh shit....oh..shit...

But i passed it first try.

Probably a combination of adrenaline from several friends being there to witness it, and also lots of star power.

Funny stuff happened to my cousin; he never heard the song before. He tried out the song in Expert and by just hearing the intro, he was starting to get like "Meh, I could get through this song!". Then comes the hard part, he was then turning to "OMG!!" and there, he FAILED

First time I heard it was at the end of my Medium Career. I had a suspicion it would turn up after a while but after 5-6 minutes easy stuff, I nearly thought that was it (or there would be another song after that). H18 was a lot more troublesome that FB's slow part (obviously). When the speed up came, I knew my fingers would discover a whole new level of pain - and they did!

Yep I first heard it at the end of Medium as well... **** I sucked back then I actually thought it was the dumbest game ever... and just a big gimmick like DDR... ( I actually am really good at both now)

But My first time playing Free Bird I was downstairs with my dad and this was like 2 years ago or something and I remember finally beating Psycobilly Freakout because I was stuck on it ForEVAR... and I was like YES Because I thought It was the last song... then all of a sudden they start to yell FREE BIRD FREE BIRD... and I was like lolwut I just beat the game... and then I saw the encore screen I was like ok.... and I"m like Fing yes I want to playFree Bird...because it asks you like 20 million times... anyway... I start the song out and my dad Immediatley Recognizes it I recognize Lynard Skynard from Sweet Home Alabama but never heard of them any where else... and I'm like ok this might be fun... So then started the bore fest for the first 5 minutes and I'm like this song is dumb... and my dad is like don't worry you won't think that in a couple minutes... to make a long story short.... on my first try I got through all of the solos and I was like holy crap that was awesome... but I ended up beating it and It was a really cool REALLY COOL experience at finnally really beat the game... but yeah... good times good times...

tl;dr (First time I have used this)

First 5 minutes though Free Bird was Dumb, then solos came, Thought it was awesome, and loved the ending. EPIC EXPERIENCE

I was freaking because I thought I'd fail it. It was easier than Hangar 18 though and left me with a strange mix of disappointment and excitement.

Im 22, i had never heard Free Bird before i played it on Guitar Hero. It was the second night of play, and me and some friends had managed to play through the setlist on medium. When the solo showed up i was stunned by how totally insane and hard it was!1 After they gave up, i tried uncountable times and finally passed it.

It instantly became one of my all-time favourite songs, but i guess it has alot of sentimental value considering the circumstances.

I know I had heard Freebird before I played GH because when I was playing the song, it seemed familiar somehow. The only thing that I can remember from playing it my first time on medium was me thinking "Holy shit, how long is this song?!!"
