The nine-minute guitar outro of Free Bird is the most requested song at rock concerts and one of the longest guitar solos in classic rock. Allen Collins and Gary Rossington trade and layer dual lead guitar lines over an escalating tempo, building from a slow, mournful ballad into a full-throttle Southern rock frenzy. The song became a cultural touchstone and the guitar outro a rite of passage for rock audiences.
