Simple Man Lynyrd Skynyrd LOST ORIGINAL GUITAR PART Steve Vest Sideman 

what i love about vest's music is the authenticity. i can tell that he really enjoys what he's doing. and the slightly off-tune, "homegrown fingerpicking" guitar work, and raggedy vocals adds to that vibe. steve's harmonica work is actually really good too. just a good ol boy down in the swamp spreading peace, love, and music. god bless ya steve vest

I really like the sound. I envy anyone who can jam on the guitar.

I wish I was your neighbor I would listen to you everyday threw the fence .

Love this song! You do a great job! Thank you for sharing this kind sir! Have a beautiful day!

Thank you kindly Steve. Someone needs to be recording just his vocals alone and making music.

thanks for keeping the memory of Rock n Rolls greatest writer and singer alive. Ronnie vanzant is a Rock God

You are a great musician

The more I listen the more i like

Thanks Steve..awesome as usual!!:)

Right on Steve 💪🏻 You rock

The birds chirping in to help almost sound like Gary's slide bird sounds at the end of Freebird that he does live. Great job Steve!! SUBBED!!

If Neil Young covered Simple Man...

My school had a talent contest in 1985, and my band won it playing simple man. I had a crappy amp and no money at the time, so a guy at the local bar was able to lend me a marshall jcm 800 amp for the show. They liked the song so much they asked us to play 2 more. I don't remember what the other 2 songs were. That shows you the power of the song "Simple Man". I remembered that one.

Keep rockin' Steve! Great stuff as usual. Liked and subbed.

It's hard if not impossible to keep a guitar in tune in a hot steamy swamp, I reckon

Excellent! Rock On Brother!

Ronnie’s spirit is rising up from the swamp and possessing you as you sing this LLR&R 🤘 🦅 alligator 🐊

Sounds like the band America doing the song, or Dan Peek. It's twangy, countrified. It's a different interpretation. I can see another band doing it this way. The twangy high parts sound like America.

Keep on keeping on brother

Nice job brother

...so genuine......awesome... out of tune didn't matter for some reason

Badass man would like to met you someday and talk about the early years of Lynyrd Skynyrd and your carrier.

Love you brother

good pickin Steve

Simple Man..NICE.

Rock on mate

good boy

RIP Steve.

holeee! Festus is playing some geetar. is that an open Q tuning i'm hearing? i think perhaps this original guitar part should stay "lost".

Sung from the heart!

RIP.

i love steve vest show but can't sing but that's alright his show i like

Is this all true Steve ? Love it x

I remember you has a prog singer.

but i don't remember any one else playing with them

Seems like a nice ol dude,I would say buy a clip on tuner but I bet those strings are 20 yrs old, that's the best tuning he can get! It he seems unwilling to move on from his 2 mins of fame by association! They sure didn't help his poverty any. He feels like part of the boys that abandoned him.That's all he has...his memories. Kinda Sad

And Ronnie said "Tune it up!"

As a picker of 25 years, I can say, the rhythm is there. The notes are pretty good too... But the tuning. Eeeeeyaaahhhh! Lol. We still like ya bro.

I thought this song was written in 1972 after Gary's mom died. Am I wrong??

TUNE THAT GUITAR!!!

I guess Berlin must have heard you guys that time because that sounds like "Take My Breath Away."

sounds the same to me but out of tune........but thanks

Steve, c'mon man, your guitars are always off tune. Take out that capo too

tinny tim

Terrible......just awful.

Ummmmmm NO!

Guitar is way out of tune!
