Lynyrd Skynyrd – Call Me The Breeze piano solo – updated with sheet music
The Lynyrd Skynyrd version of J. J. Cale’s Call Me The Breeze has a killer piano solo. It starts out cool and kind of chilled for the first twelve bars and then boom, what follows are twelve of the fastest, funkiest, most foot-stomping piano playing in all of rock and roll. I’m pretty sure it was played by roadie-turned-keyboardist Billy Powell (who died January ’09, RIP). Here please enjoy Billy playing the solo mostly in the left channel, with me doubling it, mostly in the right.
(Updated 3/21/2010 – here’s a PDF of sheet music for the solo based on my transcription.)

So where can I find the sheet music for this solo? Ive looked everywhere. Only could find videos. Need the sheets!
I will create the sheet music and post it by the weekend.
That would be AWESOME!! Many many thanks!
Here you go, John. I’ve updated the post with the sheet music. There is a small problem at measure 11 but I didn’t want to wait any longer to post it.
Please let me know if there is another solo on the site you’d particularly like the score for.
