Gary Moore's Run for Cover, Corridors of Power, Victims of The Future, Dirty Fingers!!! All those albums have legendary guitar playing. Gary Moore is an absolute legend!!!!
I saw Gary many times live and never once heard him play one bum note. In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated and talented guitarists of all time. Great lesson, keep up the good work.
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Brady Jericho thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Honestly, it never ceases to amaze how some folks dislike videos such as these with Dave sharing more advanced techniques and concepts to guitarists who are far beyond basic fundamentals. The man always gives context, heritage, and depth to each of these segments without asking for anything in return for his time. I sincerely hope these ill-advised and sporadic thumbs-down reactions on your content don't discourage you Dave. I honestly believe that most respectfully appreciate your time and generosity of content creation. Regards.
Thank you so much, and nah - if I've learned one thing working as a musician for most of my life, it's that you can never please everyone all the time. No matter how good you perform/teach/inform, there will always be someone that's unhappy (or ungrateful) for the work/effort that's been done. I think most of the negative reaction is from my talking during these videos. Sorry, but wordless/thoughtless online shredding with no musical connection or correlation to the musicians that created this music and the origin of these ideas is a big part of what's wrong with "online music education." What's the point of learning a bunch of licks without knowing what it is, where it came from, and how you can use it? I know they want to learn the licks (without talking about the material), but why don't they want to know the origin, history, or time-period of where it came from? To me, that's like saying you REALLY want to learn more about World History, but you don't want to learn any of the details or facts, and you don't want to listen to anyone talk/lecture about that particular subject. :-\ Huh? Then how will they learn? Ignorance is bliss (I guess), so if the naysayers want to stay ignorant with music - I say let them. Thanks for watching and for this comment too! It's great to see that the majority of LNL viewers understand what I'm attempting to do here. I'm not here to show off people - I'M HERE TO HELP AND/OR MUSICALLY INSPIRE YOU! : )
Great lesson again Dave. I learned these licks years and years ago but it’s great to see you reminding people that Moore was such an influence. He first came to my attention in a prog band called Colosseum II and could be found there duelling with the marvellous Don Airey. The solo album Back On The Streets is a must for guitarists. I had the pleasure of meeting Gary once in a guitar shop in Birmingham UK. He had come in to buy a Roland Cube to use for practice in his hotel room while on tour. He could tell that I was a long time fan and was very generous with his time and actually demonstrated the arpeggio lick to me that you include in this lesson! Saw him play many times in various stages of his career but he always gave it everything, which is probably why many of his pics were of him looking sweaty. Any players looking to develop a personal style would do well to analyse Gary’s playing, particularly his vibrato. Keep up the great lessons Dave. A bit of Schenker would also be appreciated.
loved ,Back on the streets,full on,also colloseum fusion type albums,good to hear hes a cool guy ,to,I saw him in 1980 [corridors of power] his G-force album,gets overlooked ,too,such a different sound,his full on 100% approach is what I love about him,never half hearted.
My main 2 sources of Influences are George Lynch and the Late Gary Moore, while I love his blues works, I was more into his 80s stuff. his '87 Stockholm Live Concert is one of my favorite live recorded concerts of that era. It amazes me that he did performances at that caliber every night, he played his ass off and still had much more for the next night.
David - Thanks for bringing the “early Gary” to a new audience - this is the Gary Moore I grew up with in Belfast - he was a beacon when Northern Ireland was in a dark place (for music) Many Thanks
@@johnkerr6141 shame slf never got the exposure they deserved here on the mainland. they're my mates all time fave band. there have been some stonking acts come from ireland over the years.
I saw him with Skid Row in Dublin in the early 70's. He was a spotty 16 year old. Could not believe it. Skid Row and Thin Lizzy came out of the same stable as it were at the time in Dublin.
I saw Gary play with Skid Row in 1969 and it was spell binding, usually the college was noisy with glasses dropping on the floor people talking but when Skid Row came on people gathered towards the front just to feel the vibe, Gary's eyes were closed for most of the set and his head swaying, I just could'nt believe what was coming at me, from that moment on I was hooked on Gary's playing. There is one track on their album from 'Skid' called 'Felicity' (the Les Paul version, not the accoustic) which is phenominal, at age 18 Gary played this masterpiece and to this day I have never heard any guitarist even attempt it. You have to listen to it to believe it. Gary genuinely didnt realize how good it was, because I think he could play it so easily. Like many musicians he wandered into various genres of style and put his mark on them, and then of course came back to the blues. I thank Gary because from his virtuosity I have been able to have something to work towards. From listening to his music I do feel close somehow, I guess thats how good music works, its a communication of the soul. Thank You for uploading this.
Gary Moore was one the greats...very underrated...the man could play any style and play it well...for modern blues he was one of the best...saw him several times during his rocker days,,,he was awesome...thank you for this video
Dave, great video and loved the intro lick. Early 80s, Armed and Ready all that stuff was great. Your teaching style is awesome, reminds me of Paul Gilbert’s REH 80s, very clear, relaxed Thanks
gm. one of my all time fave rock and blues guitarists. i loved him in thin lizzy back in the 70's when i was a nipper. i remember when lynot died and realizing there would be no more thin lizzy. but gary went on on his own and released great music.
There is something about this guys tonal characteristics and body language, i love his demeanor. i love to hear him talk about music, so passionate, and knowledgable. very unique human. love it.
To me, the most badass Gary Moore song from his "shred" era was on the Greg Lake solo album, but might also be on one of Gary's albums. The song Nuclear Attack features one of the most spectacular guitar solos ever created. I had never heard of him when Greg's album came out, but i bought it as a 16 year old kid and wore it out on the turntable. Some incredible work on that album, but Nuclear Attack has always stuck with me through the years.
I started playing guitar when I heard the "Run for Cover" album. After that, Iistened to everything that Gary Moore had and got hooked by his music. When he switched to the blues style he was also amazing. Great guitar player, great singer and great composer.
Gary Moore was truly one of the greats and as David makes clear here a true innovator. He always appeared to have total command of his guitar no matter what style he was playing and his playing always looked natural and unforced.
Love all Garys work,from colloseum II,TO his first solo album[back on the streets],solo high energy full on rock,plus the G Force album was a different sound from his other music,he never did anything without being fully into it ,his head back,pulling those strings to breaking point ,and aggressive vibrato,yet also he could turn the volume down ,and play palm muted,or clean ,with as much feel,one of my guitar heroes ,for sure.Thanks for giving Gary some time here,he deserves it.
Hi! I just found this...fantastic👍 I grew up following Gary and saw him many times in London. One of my heroes and the reason why I chose to get a Les Paul.
David, you’re on fire! Lol. Glad you decided to highlight Gary Moore. I remember hearing him in high school, and eventually seeing him live, where he was very high energy and aggressive in his playing. Too bad he’s not as well known as many other guitarists. Thanks for putting out so much quality content.
So awesome that you cover Gary!! In my opinion, he was very unique and in many ways unmatched... - also he did play progressive Rock with Colloseum II and could equally well play really jazzy (have to find the video again where this shines through)... - I saw him first as a young teenager in German TV - Rockpalast I think - late at night and was completely blown away, and that lasted ever since...; was lucky to see him a few times live in Germany... - Dave, you are right - watching him play was as intense as listening to him..., pure emotion in every single note.., tragic we lost him so early...
You're such a killer guitar player man! And you're just oozing with passion for the guitar and music. It's so awesome and inspiring to see that! I have been binging your videos, so stoked I found your channel!
Love Gary. His name along with Michael Schenker would always come up back in the early 80s when I tried to play guitar. I also loved the tone from train kept a'rollin solos. Which later I learned was Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. Thank you.
Hey, ya know what? Your channel just popped out a couple of weeks ago among my YT suggested, and ... hell, you seem to already know all my fav guitarists from the past, like Moore, Reb Beach and George Lynch. It's real fun to see someone doing what I used to play as a teen, and commenting exactly the same things I had in my mind back then. You made me feel like stringing back my yellow '88 RG and have the neighbors hear some real rock. BTW, you play great! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
I am becoming more and more into your channel with each passing week. Love your approach to music and your relaxed, sincere presentation style. Your enthusiasm for the guitar is evident and your skill set is incredible! Is there anything you can’t play!? I appreciate all your stuff, and keep these great lessons coming.
Gary Moore - Victims of the Future , was one of the best influential rock albums for me.... Devil in Her Heart, Shape of Things, Victims of the Future, etc .... lots of tasteful shred.... The aggressive melodic shredding was very influential to me in those early guitar playing years. Thanks for sharing David 😉👍
I discovered Gary Moore via War of the Worlds. After listening to the record I had to find out who Phil Lynott was. I listened to thin Lizzy then was impressed by the guitar playing, who was none other than Gary Moore.
Great lesson David! My first introduction to Gary was Victims of the Future. I still love that album. His version of Shapes of Things is my favorite version of that song. Also, one of my faves on that albums is not all that well known....Devil in Her Heart. Absolutely killer tune!
Incredible... your playing, to start with. But then also, your useful breakdown of these licks, so that agricultural players like me can learn these techniques! I'll be spending some time watching this video to learn... thank you
Another fantastic lesson. A great insight into Gary's style, which of course also featured in Colosseum 2 with Jon Hiseman under the guise of fusion! - I still regularly listen to Electric Savage.
That End of the World intro/solo was just as influential as Eruption. You could hear so many dudes actually structuring their individual solo sections around it... Vinnie Moore, Akira Takasaki, Carlos Cavazo etc.
The first album I ever heard by Gary was his live "We want Moore". I was in my early teens, and I could not believe my ears..So many great techniques, and his massive picking attack was scary. Easily in the top 10 rock guitar player list of all time, miss you Gary...
Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but that was an awesome lesson & brief history for those that don't know about Gary's ground breaking history. Thank you!
I loved gary moore's blues era the most. He was great most of his career including his earlier shredding and heavy rock days and is one of the most underrated guitarists i think. During his blues era he really showed the world how great he was and took it to another level in my opinion. He became such a well rounded guitarist and musician but still kept that agressiveness and intensity in his playing. His level of control and not taking his intensity too far is what made him such a special guitarist in my opinion. He could play so intense and quick but at the same time not loose sight of playing soft and delicate which takes an immense level of skill and ability thats often an overlooked skill in the guitar world. He did something that very few hard rock and metal shredders and guitarists sadly ever achieve or really work on, and i find it quite funny that if you go back and listen to all his music, the peter green influence is heard in his licks and vibrato. Many cases I realised many of his licks were Peter Green and rory gallagher licks sped up which is really cool
I first heard Gary on the "we want moore" live album..my older brother used to have parties.under our house..I was just a kid at the time just picked up guitar..and I heard this awesome shredding..I thought I HAVE to find out WHO that is!...I went through my brothers record collection and found it..double lp.i borrowed it off my brother..and no still have it to this day..lol
Great lesson love Via and Bettencourt and really only knew Gary Moore from the still got the blues album but love that record but it seems like I need to go a little bit farther back into his library... awesome stuff
Gary Moore is my pick for the Greatest Guitar Player ever and his tone,speed,perfection and power (always feels and sounds like he’s always turned his amps up to 11) no matter if he’s playing Blues orRock and all of this is what turned me on to my opinion that he’s the greatest ever.
GREAT vids & fluent playing, let's not forget MORE of MOORE'S Stuff: Colosseum II is a band that came from the ashes of Colosseum and featured Don Airey, Neil Murray/John Mole, Mike Starrs, Jon Hiseman and Moore. Albums Strange New Flesh (1976) Electric Savage (1977) War Dance (1977) w/ Greg Lake Greg Lake (1981) and Manoeuvres (1983)... & Cozy Powell Over the Top (1979) Tilt (1981), all rock fusion jazzy unique playing.
It's strange that no-one mentions jazz-rock/fusion group Colossuem II when talking about Gary Moore. Electric Savage and War Dance are fenomenal albums in the genre. That's where I first heard Gary Moore in the 70's. Another great album that Gary plays on that few people seem to know about is Andrew Lloyd Webbers Variations. It's centered around Paganini's caprices, but not in the shredding way that we know those pieces past Yngwie Malmsteen. It can't be considered a guitar album even, but it's great.
7:23 -> That's exactly how i ruin all the frets on all my guitars. :) The harder I pick for some lines, the harder I press the strings unfortunately. Working on it since I realised it, but it's hard putting force in one hand while keeping the other one loose.
One my new favorite guitar channels. Would love to see an Eric Johnson or John Sykes three for all! John Sykes definitely has some rippin licks when he played with Whitesnake
Dave thanks for shedding light on Gary's early rock stuff, he was incredibly melodic but unbelievably intense, especially live, as you say he sweated bullets. So versatile but all his rock stuff just has such a melodic vibe to it. RIP Gary 🤘🏻 He actually learned on an old acoustic with a very high action, that's what built up his incredible finger strength, he plays all those pull offs and HOs with his middle finger, I mean listen to the 16th note triplets he plays over triplets in "Over The Hills And Far Away" solo . Saw him live a few times but when he was playing and living here in Dublin in the late 60's people who saw him then told me he used to play a drum solo using the guitar, during his guitar solo, the drummer was the legendary Nollaig Bridgeman, great band the original Irish SKID ROW. His career and style was so unique, he recorded with Andrew Lloyd Webber in the 70's on his Variations album and again on the Evita Soundtrack, with Greg Lake on his solo stuff, The Chieftains on his amazing Wild Frontier album, what a terrible loss to the guitar world. Thanks for keeping his style alive!
Excellent stuff. If you get a chance, would love to hear you break down Shotgun Messiah (Harry B Cody, the first two albums are killer), John Sykes, and maybe the band Icon (from Arizona).
Gary Moore's Run for Cover, Corridors of Power, Victims of The Future, Dirty Fingers!!! All those albums have legendary guitar playing. Gary Moore is an absolute legend!!!!
Bryan Magallan
Back on the Streets... some stellar playing on that!
What a song all messed up is, from run for cover.....I could easily list ten outstanding moore solos. At his peak he really was the irish van halen.
I saw Gary many times live and never once heard him play one bum note. In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated and talented guitarists of all time. Great lesson, keep up the good work.
Absolutely true. He is bigger than some greatest names in history.
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

@Brady Jericho thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Brady Jericho it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
My own opinion, Gary had the most ferocious Vibrato,wow!
It’s so damn hard to emulate, I tried for weeks on end putting it on half and three quarter speed and it’s so hard to copy
@@joshmuz9018 there's no way anyone can play like Gary.
Joe Bonamassa as well
Honestly, it never ceases to amaze how some folks dislike videos such as these with Dave sharing more advanced techniques and concepts to guitarists who are far beyond basic fundamentals. The man always gives context, heritage, and depth to each of these segments without asking for anything in return for his time. I sincerely hope these ill-advised and sporadic thumbs-down reactions on your content don't discourage you Dave. I honestly believe that most respectfully appreciate your time and generosity of content creation. Regards.

Sorry, but wordless/thoughtless online shredding with no musical connection or correlation to the musicians that created this music and the origin of these ideas is a big part of what's wrong with "online music education."

:-\ Huh?
Then how will they learn?
Ignorance is bliss (I guess), so if the naysayers want to stay ignorant with music - I say let them.

Every time you crush a lick you say “or something like that”! Awesome. Totally awesome. Nice work.
Great lesson again Dave. I learned these licks years and years ago but it’s great to see you reminding people that Moore was such an influence. He first came to my attention in a prog band called Colosseum II and could be found there duelling with the marvellous Don Airey. The solo album Back On The Streets is a must for guitarists.
I had the pleasure of meeting Gary once in a guitar shop in Birmingham UK. He had come in to buy a Roland Cube to use for practice in his hotel room while on tour. He could tell that I was a long time fan and was very generous with his time and actually demonstrated the arpeggio lick to me that you include in this lesson! Saw him play many times in various stages of his career but he always gave it everything, which is probably why many of his pics were of him looking sweaty.
Any players looking to develop a personal style would do well to analyse Gary’s playing, particularly his vibrato.
Keep up the great lessons Dave. A bit of Schenker would also be appreciated.
Thanks for sharing.

*cough* you also had stiff little fingers who rocked and i believe are still touring */cough*
Meow woeM - touring as Xslf - saw real SLF last year - not entirely heavy rock or a world renowned musician - but I take your point
@@johnkerr6141 shame slf never got the exposure they deserved here on the mainland. they're my mates all time fave band. there have been some stonking acts come from ireland over the years.
Gary was the ultimate guitar player. So intense like the guitar was gonna burst into flames. Never hit a bad note. Huge influence.
I saw him with Skid Row in Dublin in the early 70's. He was a spotty 16 year old. Could not believe it. Skid Row and Thin Lizzy came out of the same stable as it were at the time in Dublin.

I saw Moore in a nightclub around 1987. He was wicked good, a flawless performance.
Gary Moore was one the greats...very underrated...the man could play any style and play it well...for modern blues he was one of the best...saw him several times during his rocker days,,,he was awesome...thank you for this video
Victims of the future, AWESOME album!
Makes me appreciate his playing more
Awesome David,love me some Gary Moore. He influenced so many players.
Dave, great video and loved the intro lick. Early 80s, Armed and Ready all that stuff was great. Your teaching style is awesome, reminds me of Paul Gilbert’s REH 80s, very clear, relaxed Thanks
I was just thinking about how it would be nice to see you do some Gary Moore, and voila, here it is.
Gary Moore was Breathtaking and you are amazing .David.
gm. one of my all time fave rock and blues guitarists. i loved him in thin lizzy back in the 70's when i was a nipper. i remember when lynot died and realizing there would be no more thin lizzy. but gary went on on his own and released great music.

I saw Gary Moore with Thin Lizzy approximately 1980 opening for Journey. Gary stole the show
Hi! I just found this...fantastic👍 I grew up following Gary and saw him many times in London. One of my heroes and the reason why I chose to get a Les Paul.
His work 1979-1989 was all so insane could smoke the majority of popular guitarists at the time
Great lesson on Gary Moore, obviously you love to listen to and play guitar, thanks for sharing your gift with us!
Awesome vid Dave,Gary was a tone monster Vibrato for day,master of the instrument,wish he was still with us.
I have that 2017 issue of Guitar Player! I have the new GP with your Billy Gibbons lesson, too. A great Gary Moore lesson here, too! Thanks, David!
Hi David, he was one of the greatest. I saw Gary in the 80ties in Germany, the Shape of things solo was fantastic. Great lesson Thx
Really enjoying your videos! Gary Moore has always been a favorite of mine
Gary is one of my top 5 favorite all time players. Great lesson again. great job brother. you nailed it!
David, you’re on fire! Lol. Glad you decided to highlight Gary Moore. I remember hearing him in high school, and eventually seeing him live, where he was very high energy and aggressive in his playing. Too bad he’s not as well known as many other guitarists.

Vivian Campbell also took that pivot technique on the song Don’t Talk to Strangers.

Gary Moore - Victims of the Future , was one of the best influential rock albums for me.... Devil in Her Heart, Shape of Things, Victims of the Future, etc .... lots of tasteful shred.... The aggressive melodic shredding was very influential to me in those early guitar playing years.

Late Night Lessons I only can give one thumb up, here are two more 👍🏼👍🏼
String bending, vibrato freak of the highest order⚡️👍🏽
Incredible... your playing, to start with. But then also, your useful breakdown of these licks, so that agricultural players like me can learn these techniques! I'll be spending some time watching this video to learn... thank you
Another fantastic lesson. A great insight into Gary's style, which of course also featured in Colosseum 2 with Jon Hiseman under the guise of fusion! - I still regularly listen to Electric Savage.
Loved Gary's metal stuff, drifted away from him when he just went strictly blues.
Gary played also Jazzrock with Collosseum and I love the "Wild Frontier" album as well...
That End of the World intro/solo was just as influential as Eruption.
You could hear so many dudes actually structuring their individual solo sections around it... Vinnie Moore, Akira Takasaki, Carlos Cavazo etc.
Jim Winters Vivian Campbell too
I love these lessons! It's like I'm meeting up with a fellow friend for a cup of coffee ☕ and talking about licks and music 😄
Thank you!
You can't see my cup of coffee, but I promise that it's there - off-camera.
: ) lol
Rock on!
Less talkin’, more playin’. Awesome lessons. Keep it up.
The first album I ever heard by Gary was his live "We want Moore". I was in my early teens, and I could not believe my ears..So many great techniques, and his massive picking attack was scary. Easily in the top 10 rock guitar player list of all time, miss you Gary...
i never heard anything from Gary Moore before, but the lesson was terrific as usual
Have been looking for some time for early 80s GM licks. Thank you so much.
Awesome. I really dig that last lick the most. Great lesson🤘😎👍🎸
Incredible as always!
I wish you could do more Gary Moore licks, specifically from his solo for Shapes of Things. That solo is just wicked.
Scott Daniel I'm with you, maybe the whole live Shapes solo
Dave a lesson on Dio/Vivian Campbell Holy Diver/Last In Line material would be great too. Love your channel and your lessons are awesome!
Those muted fast runs he does never cease to amaze me. He may be the best I have ever heard at that.
Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but that was an awesome lesson & brief history for those that don't know about Gary's ground breaking history. Thank you!
So glad you talked about his rock stuff... which in my opinion was SO MUCH better than his blues stuff...
I loved gary moore's blues era the most. He was great most of his career including his earlier shredding and heavy rock days and is one of the most underrated guitarists i think. During his blues era he really showed the world how great he was and took it to another level in my opinion.
He became such a well rounded guitarist and musician but still kept that agressiveness and intensity in his playing. His level of control and not taking his intensity too far is what made him such a special guitarist in my opinion. He could play so intense and quick but at the same time not loose sight of playing soft and delicate which takes an immense level of skill and ability thats often an overlooked skill in the guitar world.
He did something that very few hard rock and metal shredders and guitarists sadly ever achieve or really work on, and i find it quite funny that if you go back and listen to all his music, the peter green influence is heard in his licks and vibrato. Many cases I realised many of his licks were Peter Green and rory gallagher licks sped up which is really cool
Awesome lesson, you always find the coolest licks!
Luv this 1..,Thanx 💚😎
Gary is my number 1 six-stringer. Period! More for his rock and fusion stuff than the blues stuff. saw him twice in his heyday
Gary the king of bends.
I first heard Gary on the "we want moore" live album..my older brother used to have parties.under our house..I was just a kid at the time just picked up guitar..and I heard this awesome shredding..I thought I HAVE to find out WHO that is!...I went through my brothers record collection and found it..double lp.i borrowed it off my brother..and no still have it to this day..lol
Great lesson love Via and Bettencourt and really only knew Gary Moore from the still got the blues album but love that record but it seems like I need to go a little bit farther back into his library... awesome stuff
Gary Moore is my pick for the Greatest Guitar Player ever and his tone,speed,perfection and power (always feels and sounds like he’s always turned his amps up to 11) no matter if he’s playing Blues orRock and all of this is what turned me on to my opinion that he’s the greatest ever.
GREAT vids & fluent playing, let's not forget MORE of MOORE'S Stuff:
Colosseum II is a band that came from the ashes of Colosseum and featured Don Airey, Neil Murray/John Mole, Mike Starrs, Jon Hiseman and Moore.
Albums Strange New Flesh (1976) Electric Savage (1977) War Dance (1977)
w/ Greg Lake
Greg Lake (1981) and Manoeuvres (1983)... & Cozy Powell Over the Top (1979) Tilt (1981), all rock fusion jazzy unique playing.
Great lesson! Love Gary's early stuff! Check out his solos in the video Live from Stockholm in '85 - especially "Empty Rooms" and the Loner!
great as always, thanks Dave!
I hope this channel takes off. It’s such chill and excellent content. Thank you for doing these stellar videos!
Dude. I've been into Gary Moore since I was 15. I never knew about BBM. THANK YOU :D
The intro reminds me of Tarkus (pick wise).
@5:45 that's such a beautiful sounding chord.
Just brilliant. Thank you.
Excellent!!!
That was awesome!
Brilliant lesson thanks 😊 👍
Riff 3 really plays itself. Fun lesson.
It's strange that no-one mentions jazz-rock/fusion group Colossuem II when talking about Gary Moore. Electric Savage and War Dance are fenomenal albums in the genre. That's where I first heard Gary Moore in the 70's. Another great album that Gary plays on that few people seem to know about is Andrew Lloyd Webbers Variations. It's centered around Paganini's caprices, but not in the shredding way that we know those pieces past Yngwie Malmsteen. It can't be considered a guitar album even, but it's great.
Killer lesson Dave! Your open mindedness to so many different players and styles is much appreciated! And your chops are off the charts! Thanks!
WHY AM I JUST finding you now !! Awesome stuff.
7:23 -> That's exactly how i ruin all the frets on all my guitars. :) The harder I pick for some lines, the harder I press the strings unfortunately. Working on it since I realised it, but it's hard putting force in one hand while keeping the other one loose.
One my new favorite guitar channels. Would love to see an Eric Johnson or John Sykes three for all! John Sykes definitely has some rippin licks when he played with Whitesnake
Thank you!
: )
John Sykes is coming ASAP!
Dave thanks for shedding light on Gary's early rock stuff, he was incredibly melodic but unbelievably intense, especially live, as you say he sweated bullets. So versatile but all his rock stuff just has such a melodic vibe to it. RIP Gary 🤘🏻 He actually learned on an old acoustic with a very high action, that's what built up his incredible finger strength, he plays all those pull offs and HOs with his middle finger, I mean listen to the 16th note triplets he plays over triplets in "Over The Hills And Far Away" solo . Saw him live a few times but when he was playing and living here in Dublin in the late 60's people who saw him then told me he used to play a drum solo using the guitar, during his guitar solo, the drummer was the legendary Nollaig Bridgeman, great band the original Irish SKID ROW. His career and style was so unique, he recorded with Andrew Lloyd Webber in the 70's on his Variations album and again on the Evita Soundtrack, with Greg Lake on his solo stuff, The Chieftains on his amazing Wild Frontier album, what a terrible loss to the guitar world. Thanks for keeping his style alive!
Sir...your channel is oficially in my top 10...not that anyone asked...easily top 3...thanx for all the great content.
Excellent stuff. If you get a chance, would love to hear you break down Shotgun Messiah (Harry B Cody, the first two albums are killer), John Sykes, and maybe the band Icon (from Arizona).
Yes Harry Cody's solo and in-between licks on Shout it out are amazing.
I had Run for Cover in a Tdk cassette and oh shit..Im realize that I'm too old
PD. Great video as always
Glenn Hughes sang on Run For Cover also! Can never get enough Gary
