I never heard a guitar actually CRY... until I heard Gary Moore play "Still Got the Blues". And, Clapton was smart NOT TO attempt to play like Gary with his tribute to him. Many "guitarists" complained about Eric's soft edged style, but that was done to not try and compete with Gary.........................................
A late comment - one of the nicest things I like about your channel is that a lot of times you accommodate the intermediate/advanced guitar player by not giving finger-by-finger and fret-by-fret descriptions. Thank you!! Of course, if you are attempting to play Still Got the Blues, you are probably not a beginner guitar player. Thank you again Pilgrim. sw
Nobody can play like Gary, he was one of the greatest of all time! Next to Hendrix and SRV my absolute No. 1! Do you know his Hendrix covers? Unbeatable! Saw him live just before his tragic death - but without Still Got The Blues. Probably because at that time there was still this court case going on ...
Merci for this. I saw Gary once in Montreux, fantastic concert. I think I listened to Blues for Greeny about a gazillion times. Definitely not time wasted. Rick Beato had an interview with an old Geezer that had a fascinating interview and talked about music induced trances. It only happens after 10 minutes. Definitely not TikTok stuff.
Never been a Les Paul player but that one you have is super sharp love it.You are a really talented musician an make it seem super simple really glad I ran across your channel.Lot of fun watching
Thanks for that Thom! Gary was an incredible talent and definitely one of the greatest Blues guitarist ever! Hope that all is well with you and your little one! 👍👍
This one has been on my list forever. On a side note, I don't think I've ever heard Gary Moore speaking before. Funny how his speaking voice is so different than his singing voice.
How to play Still Got the Blues well = learn the notes and techniques, and be Gary Moore. 😜😜😬😬 In all seriousness, great video Sir! Gary Moore is my favorite guitar player - never seen a player as complete as him!
You must not have seen many guitarists trade licks then. I’d bet my life, that just BB King, had many, many, other guitar duel/call and response moments throughout his career, which were equal. It’s a cool moment of someone trying to play BB with BB, without overdoing it, but far from the greatest one, of its type, in the history of mankind.
Thanks mate, you inspired me. I’m practicing this song last solo part recently. I found it’s so challenge to do those quick notes picking since my finger is not that fast. After watching your video I know I need to make sure the first and last notes are correct, the middle notes just follow my feeling and do some pentatonic notes. Great video !
the reason why they sound alike is the fact that their chord progression comes from an old classic jazz song called "autumn leaves". this chord pattern has leaked into many songs out there.
I always thought that lead melodic line was derived from "Hello" by Lionel Richie. Anyone else hear that. Especially the part when Lionel sings "and I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do"
Yes, and it's a standard 2-5-1 chord progression, like in Autumn Leaves, so how can anyone claim authorship of anything? The melody follows naturally from the chords.
Plagiarism has never been about chord progressions because chord progressions are not copyrightable. It's always been about melodies, and the melody in that section of the song is exactly the same- whether it was an intentional "ripoff" or not.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Regardless of what the copyright protection laws say, some melodies follow logically from the chord progression. They are obvious because of the natural pull towards strong chord notes and towards resolution, and as such I think there should be no grounds for protection, in my opinion. At least in Europe, thinking about protecting a technical invention through a patent, you have to demonstrate that your idea is not trivial and obvious from the input that you use. Your intellectual input, your inventiveness, has to be a factor. I think the same reasoning should apply here.
@@andre.1984 I think Gary Moore definitely improved this song in much the same way Led Zeppelin improved the songs that they "lifted." But I totally disagree that melodies are not unique creations. The number of chord progressions is finite- very large, but finite. Melodies are not finite, there's an endless number of them.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 That's not what I said, though. I specifically referred to melodies that follow naturally and logically from the key you're in, for the chord progression that you're playing. That's not the same as "any" chord progression. If you're a musician, you should understand this.
It's more similar to one of the great indie band here in the Philippines called asin. The melody from the chorus of the song Pagbabalik is similar to Gary's riff in that song. Still love the song anyways
Btw both are very similar to the main theme of Europa. And that is based on an old stock lick. Anyone involved claiming ownership are stretching the truth.
I used to have this album. *GMOORE* inspired me to play better guitar in the 90's. RIP. *For chronic simplification play: (Dm Dm Cmaj F Dm E Am.)* *Count=1 and 2...(rest) 3 and 4...(rest) 5...6 and 7.* =6/8 time
Hi! Wow - this is super cool and such a great song! We are a kids family band from New Zealand and we like to cover classic rock and check out other peoples versions. We have done a cover of Still got the Blues too :) Rock on! thanks
So I've seen the arguments that the song is in both A minor and D minor and I honestly have no idea, but when I play the solo and am noodling around with it it always sounds better in D minor.
@@GuitarPilgrim I still will never understand how Led Zeppelin got away with "Stairway" and all the direct similarities to Spirit's (Taurus) plus the fact Spirit even toured extensively with Led Zeppelin. It does seem fame and size matters but in this case Os, they did prevail the day based upon a similar argument. Jim C.
IF Gary ripped of anyone, he ripped off himself, ie Parisienne Walkways, which is the same idea, sort of backwards and then The Loner, which is another take on the first two. Of course, the grand champion of ripping himself off is the great Master Ritchie, who has ripped himself off up to a dozen times, at least, or not. When you’re on a good thing,stick to it...
Long overdue, a video on the great Gary Moore! And if you happen to like Goat Cheese then forget about that guitarface tip... ;)
Sir I have waited for a video on Late Sir Gary Moore for so long.
Thank you. ❤️
You made my day! Goat Cheese - barrel of laughs :) :) :D
I love goat cheese, but luckily I have Bieber to fall back on 🙂
Loved this lesson , guitar pilgrim an excellent choice to high light Gary Moore 😎
Were can i stop my payments on Patreon??
Great video, I’ve seen Gary Moore in concert back in 1985. Gary was definitely great live in concert!!!!
I never heard a guitar actually CRY... until I heard Gary Moore play "Still Got the Blues". And, Clapton was smart NOT TO attempt to play like Gary with his tribute to him. Many "guitarists" complained about Eric's soft edged style, but that was done to not try and compete with Gary.........................................
I would love for you to do Gary's Red House cover, absolutely amazing how he makes that strat scream.
I love this guy he teaches with such passion and realness . He gets to be himself and thoroughly enjoy what he's doing 😃
Gary put everything into playing.

Gary Moore did a Hendrix evening/ gig. Brilliant
The song that made me really fall in love with the electric 🥰

Blues for Jimi 😎 absolutely amazing covers by Gary Moore
@@anthonyjanes7522 Hey Joe with Mitch Mitchell - one of the greatest performances ever!
This was great! Thanks Thom. If you wanted to do a "How to Play" with Midnight Blues from Gary Moore later, that would be just fine with me!! :-)
This song rips my gutts out and makes me wanna cry all at the same time
So mesmerizing that solo, such emotion expressed through a guitar😍
Merci for this. I saw Gary once in Montreux, fantastic concert. I think I listened to Blues for Greeny about a gazillion times. Definitely not time wasted.

Good stuff! More Gary Moore! I'd like to see you break down Parisienne Walkways w/ solo someday!
Incredible song.
My fav guitarist n song off all time amazing Bruv

1:55 Very nicely done good Sir. Great video as always.
I really wanted to play this masterpiece. Thank you so much! All the best!
As always, bloody brilliant.
first and best tips on guitarface ever ! Thanks pal
As a non musician,I learn volumes from you Thom , Thankyou sir .

In all seriousness, great video Sir! Gary Moore is my favorite guitar player - never seen a player as complete as him!
Look up BB King-Gary Moore “Thrill is gone” - it has the greatest call and response improv in history of mankind
Seen it my good friend- truly two guitars talking to each other an amazing experience 🥰🎸😎
One of my favourite things I’ve ever seen

@@CorbCorbin thank you for your view, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, friend
I've seen it I agree it gives me goosebumps fr fr
Awesome vid as always. Something to learn on a Saturday
I thought about Justin Bieber and ended up grimacing like Gary Moore. The advice worked, thank you.
Playing those bends in tune, with the right feel and vibrato is deceitfully hard.
This was amazing. Thanks!
It does not matter if he did, he made it epic
Yesss! my friend at last. Brilliant video. Keep on rockin!

Since Gary plays a bit differently every time on his live show
the reason why they sound alike is the fact that their chord progression comes from an old classic jazz song called "autumn leaves". this chord pattern has leaked into many songs out there.
I always thought that lead melodic line was derived from "Hello" by Lionel Richie. Anyone else hear that. Especially the part when Lionel sings "and I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do"
I thought it was Lionel Ritchie that sued him. I never heard of the other lawsuit.
I've been saying this for years and everyone thought I was going mad!
I'm glad someone else can hear it too!
You're the great teacher in all the known web.... 😁 😁 😁
I’ve never heard a blues lick I didn’t like.
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 We all use bits and pieces we’ve heard through the years, consciously or unconsciously.
The great Pilgrim teaches his Les Paul Studio how to find the spirit of Gary's legendary Greenie guitar
You are Great , Moore exicites me, do some more video of The phenomenal Eric Gales❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did Jud's Gallery also get around to suing Lionel Ritchie? Because that melody also sounds a whole lot like Lionel Ritchie's "Hello".
That was great, thanks !
How can anyone claim their blues tune has been copied. The whole genre would be claiming left, right and centre that they’ve been ripped off!
Yes, and it's a standard 2-5-1 chord progression, like in Autumn Leaves, so how can anyone claim authorship of anything? The melody follows naturally from the chords.

Very inspired on Santana's music ("Europa" comes first to my mind)
I actually enjoyed that pun at the beginning very much haha. And the ba dum tsss.
Listening to Justin Beaver 😂😂😂 another fantastic video, thanks a lot!!!
Brilliant as ever!
"Listening to Justin beiber".....haha. got to cheer me up for the day bro!
Hello. Thank you for the great Videos. Can you please make a Video of your way to hold and Play with a Pick. That could be very interesting. Thanks
You never cease to brighten my day Groovy One! Gary's older brother Les might have even agreed with the opening remark.
Les Moore ?
Less is Moore?
please a tutorial of "circus" by Eric clapton, the unplugged version please please
Oh! A 1990's Les Paul Studio in wine red, I believe?
I've got one of those almost unplayed.
Doesn't sound like that when I play it! ;-)
The chord progression is the same as the jazz standard Autumn Leaves and the Gloria Gaynor hit, I Will Survive
Ha ha you're a cool funny dude too ,thanks for sharing this 👍
Only a Dutch guy would make a face like that thinking about goat cheese!! It’s all about the Gouda!!
Goat's cheese and Justin Bieber...love it !
It's more similar to one of the great indie band here in the Philippines called asin. The melody from the chorus of the song Pagbabalik is similar to Gary's riff in that song. Still love the song anyways
That German band, talk about chancers. His estate should counter to get back what’s rightfully theirs.
Great job. Thanks.

or listning to,, :-D Nice video, Have a great weekend
Thanks for listening to me about Gary and get rid of the Slash crap! Get some Schenker in next.
What a pretty guitar.
Just a standard 😉 Studio
Terrific, as usual
Thank you.
"If you have trouble with the guitar face, just think of something really nasty----like eating goat cheese or listening to Justin Bieber." 😂
Awesome 👌
I find playing a B half diminished chord easier to play than a Dm/B.
So I've seen the arguments that the song is in both A minor and D minor and I honestly have no idea, but when I play the solo and am noodling around with it it always sounds better in D minor.
How about the amazing second solo?
Gary Moore's playing is so emotive. Also Jud's Gallery is a terrible name for a band. I don't know how you claim copyright on the blues.
In an amazing coincidence, Bieber's birthname is Goatscheese, though he denies it.
These are exact chords of the whole song including the bridge section: th-cam.com/video/bh10eObnIXc/w-d-xo.html
Gary swaps pickups (mid bend) on the second part of the last solo.
He changes from neck to bridge pick up, hence the change in tone?
I’ll think if listening to cardi B or Lil Something in order to achieve the guitarface
what about zeppelin
You can't copyright minor scale)
Didn't help gary, he had to pay a large sum of money to the German band
@@GuitarPilgrim I still will never understand how Led Zeppelin got away with "Stairway" and all the direct similarities to Spirit's (Taurus) plus the fact Spirit even toured extensively with Led Zeppelin. It does seem fame and size matters but in this case Os, they did prevail the day based upon a similar argument. Jim C.
He certainly had the face thing going on,,,, lol,,, 😎✌

Thankfully I don't have that Bieber Fever 🤣
What’s wrong with goats cheese Grommit ??? 😂
First ❤️❤️
i thought he stole it from hello by lionel ritchie
You see Alip ba ta to still got the blues
But I love goat's cheese.
I like goat's cheese ......
Before 8:15 it sounds like a bad impression of Deep Purple
It might sound a wee bit familiar but I say not close enough and I hope GM won the lawsuit.
He didn't, he payed undisclosed amount of money to the other band
Goat cheese = Justin Bieber so funny!!!
Listening to Justin biber 😂😂😂
more like SUddenly by Billy Ocean
But I like goats cheese.
Yeah that was pretty much a copy of the German fellas track. Only 12 notes tho, we all gotta share.
Poor Justin!! Exposed yet again!! How's the little one?? Get his first guitar/keyboard yet?? Jim C.
She's doing great! The next one is on the way!!
Lol imagine there being suing in blues music. Blues is stealing from all ur influences and creating ur own style!
Is it wrong to like goat's cheese AND Gary Moore. No, not in the same dish.......
Prince is better
