This man was the complete guitarist - technique, emotion, intensity, melodic sensibility - all in one package. How people still slag him off is just plain ridiculous - this man has way more talent in his little finger than most of us have in our whole bodies.

agree man, actually we've forgotten the real sensibility and feeling to play guitar and many unknown ways to express it to the nature around us, I'm so excited to train and practice blues more than I was trainning before know him

I bumped into Gary a few times as we lived fairly close and he was a lovely, warm & genuine human being. He also happened to be a great guitar player too! R. I. P. Gary.
Lived in belfast for 4yrs and learnt about his passing when i moved, gary inspired me to pick up the guitar though ill never be able to play close to his level, his inspiration will forever be cherished..RIP Sr Gary Moore 😢😢🇧🇳
You can't fake pure talent. This guy was brilliant, like srv & rory Gallagher. Ppl always so concerned about tone by using fx etc, those guys just plugged in, turned up the tone/volume pots & let their talent talk.
Because things need to move forward. There's only so much you can do with these licks and a LP into a marshall/vox. Guitar lost a lot of relevance but if it wasn't for innovators it'd be as dead as the lute.
@@fredriksvard2603 That's irrelevant. Playing the same licks is enough to kill any style, on any guitar or amp. You can be innovative on a gibson straight through a marshall in 2023, and it would probably sound better than half the guitar recordings today which all use digital software to emulate it. I'd do anything to hear an unreleased album from led zeppelin using the same gibson+marshall combo.
@@jayyy1041 It's relevant. You can't sound like Berried Alive, Henson or Meshuggah through a 6 string Gibson straight into a Marshall. You may not like these new styles personally but the point stands - if guitar stagnates it won't draw new generations in. Right now it's somewhat relevant in pop culture as it's used by artists like Sheeran and Swift, and by prog/tech/death/core bands doing the club gig circuit.
Yh, I agree. As players, we would all love to play blues licks like Gary did, or Clapton etc.....but audiences may not love hearing only that....because we've all heard it a million times. Much as I love hearing him play this, or billy gibbons jamming just him and an amp.....I'm glad that's not all there is. I'm glad there's polyphia trying something different, something new. If blues goes the same way as trad jazz and its just old folk digging it, I'm fine with that too. You can't really force anyone to like or appreciate something. I'm sure we all remember music class at school....
At least you know him now. I went to the Marrillion Milton Keynes ´Garden Party´ in 1986 just to see him. I could not have given a fuk about the rest of them. All I wanted to see was Gary.
@@trentmason009 No he wasn't. Jimi will always the number one. Jimi had it all, never repeated himself and was an incredible improvisor and songwriter and played the deepest blues and he was funky and reinvented himself constantly. He had music flowing out of him like no one before or since. The Moore's and SRV's may have been a bit faster and cleaner but the were repetitive and far less creative and not nearly as good at the most important aspect, namely songwriting.

Played guitar all my life and I don't know why but there's just something about his playing, I always find myself trying to emulate him.

Gary was actually left-handed but played right-handed just like Wilko Johnson and Michael Angelo Batio (a bit of useless info) he truly was a savage player and sadly missed, I can understand you trying to emulate his style but you have to remember as players we all have our own style, tone and sound and we all seem to end up being the players we're supposed to be 😎 you mentioned Gary and SRV you forgot the other GOAT that was taken too soon....Rory Gallagher I reckon Gary and Rory were probably the two best players Ireland ever produced....may their gods be good to them, peace and love to you Brother Man ✌️❤️🇮🇪😎
@@DocRockBaby Didn't know he was left handed, Knopfler is also, not a coincidence they both have the touch and emotion in a note that Clapton/Slash etc don't have. Also play lead using their thumb and little finger with the left hand, because it's the dominant hand I suppose, it's more natural.
Thumbs up for those who know Gary was so under rated and looked over compared to his peers back in the day. I always thought Gary was a monster player and so over looked and under appreciated.
It's really a shame. That I can pick Hendrix as # 1 without question - if Page and Clapton say so, whom am I to disagree - , Page, Beck, Clapton tied for # 2, Gilmour, Kath, and Blackmore tied for # 3, and at least 20 tied for # 4 (King, Hopkins, Robert Johnson, Van Halen, and on and on) . I've seen in concert all of them except for Hendrix and Johnson. And yet, I've never heard of this guy.
Oh, and Al DiMeiola, if you can stand to listen to him for two hours, he may have been as talented as anybody. In any case, there have never been four more talented musicians on a single stage than "Return to Forever." And Townshend is somewhat underated. He should be in my top 3.
Gary Moore. A true guitar player. He was so pure. One the best guitar players of all time. He could make you feel the blues!! WOW!! GUITAR PLAYING @ it’s BEST RIP.. GARY.
I agree. I enjoy listening to Gary even without a band, just playing alone. I enjoy listening to Gary play the electric guitar with the volume turned off. Electric guitar acoustically played, Gary still sounds great.
Huge fan of your tutorials. Just got me a nice 07' R9 8.5lb killer flame... madagascar board thing is magic. One of the first things I did was go to you're channel to learn something new just for the hell of it.
Never ceases to stump me how often I see "underrated" and "overlooked" used to describe a number of clearly top-level players...pop media exposure means absolutely zero regarding how good of a musician they are. Players like Gary are/were monsters, and it's never been a secret...
I’m not religious but he’s another artist in my God played through him list. I think the blues label did a bit to dampen his fire. If I was putting a studio session on, I’d easily call Gary in my first five calls
He's not an Irish hero, they never talk about him here, I never hear his music on Irish radio or TV except with Lizzy but thats ALL about Phillo and not about Gary, ...and he is WAY down the list of great Irish musicians. You want to hear an Irish guitar legend? Ask your dad about Rory Gallagher.
@@johnc3403 Im Irish and a life long fan of Rory Gallagher, i regard Rory, Gary and Phil and everyone else from respective bands as legends equally! no need for shite radio or lists!
Sean Duggan that's what made him so special. His playing was all his own and no part of it was copied from anyone else. Who else has dared to play the blues in such an aggressive style. He was amazing
He was recognised by the people who matter and enough of them to make a very good living doing what he loved, who gives a shit what the average foot tapper thinks.
I’m a lifelong Gary fan, since the mid 70s. I don’t think he was ever underrated. Maybe he didn’t get the commercial or international success that he deserved, but he certainly wasn’t underrated. Just read the influences of most rock and blues rock musicians and he’s usually near the top of the list. ✌️🎸
No one could touch Gary Moore!! Tone, feel, technique, dynamics, musicality... It's all there! Not to mention a great songwriter and a decent singer too!
Keep coming back to this 9 min chill session with Gary Moore, maybe you do too? Wish this guy could have been around a little longer. Really unique player and incredible performer, zero time wasted as he started so early on and just played his way through life, truly amazing.
This guy was the most complete guitarist in the world when he was alive, among know musicians obviously because there are always hidden gems in basements we'll never hear about.
I check back on this video from time to time. One, so I don’t forget how incredible he was. And two, for inspiration. What emotion and attack in his playing...no matter the style.
I picked up a 2000 reissue of the 1961 335 block in translucent blue. He's right, the sustain is just mind boggling, and then you plug it in... My 1968 Superlead brings out all of the nuances of the guitar. Hearing Gary get his '59 Les Paul wailing in "I've still got the blues for you" is so sensual, but anyone who says that the guitar doesn't make the player has never played anything as sensitive as these. I use .38 picks and you have to refine your touch to suit the instrument. Then, it comes alive.
@@raefpickens1154 I saw Stevie twice, Gary and Rory once each..back in day. I went to record signing for texas flood and took a neck for a parts caster which I was building. he was stoked to sign it..such a gentleman .. he wrote "see you soon" and signed it, thinking we might bump into each other at his gig the next night...didn't link up. I stupidly put floyd rose trem on it..sold it few years later for $400..a life time ago
steve flynn Thats amazing wish I woulda had the chance to watch him play in person let alone meet him but I’m fortunate to have discovered him at all thank you for the story ✌🏻
I used to love guys like Malmsteem and Guys for the sake of speed and pyrotechnics. But with time, I love Gary Moore's "shred" more. It's got so much more depth and personality to me; maybe not as technically fast or crazy. But his bends, blues integration, and like phrasing makes his playing so much richer and filled with like more soul or something. When I listen to really talented shredders, all I hear is scale olympics. When I listen to guys like Gary Moore I hear like really nice blues and jazz being played ferociously, not just fast scales. And his control of tone is great(sounds stupid, but guys like Joe Bonamassa show you how important it is to not just ditch a guitar to achieve tones; with simple dial changes and picking pressure, you can get outrageously different sounds from just one guitar; it's a true skill to master ).
Yngwie wasnt for the sake of speed ..he s speed by nature , wanting to be paganini on guitar. He has a stellar vibrato , like Violin , and soulful and slow or Articulate cool phrasing between his fast runs . That most people choose to ignore . His attack on blues was not that far from Gary Moore ....see his version of Redhouse on the budokan 1994 .
metalheadoldschol agree. Somehow people feel now entitled to diss Yngwie Malmsteen, one of the most ever influential guitarist. A guy true to himself and playing always with passion whatever the trends and the attendance size.
This video is truly an eternal guitar lesson, which will be for posterity. Technique, feeling, grip, melodic sense… all in one guy! It didn't even get the recognition it deserved. Gary, the uncrowned king.
WTF are you guys talking about? he's renowned worldwide, respected by the original blues players, just because he is not on peoples wallpaper doesn't make him underrated. What is your benchmark for 'Rated'? being in rolling stone magazine? eat my trousers!!!
Crotchet Try dorian superimposed over your boxes, and include the flated 5th. Now don't just play any note like a pentatonic, but hear where it leads...those 'off of the pentatonic' can work like passing tones and if you listen well, you'll have more to use. Also play with the 6th for major/minor or dorian over the V in minor. Easy to hear and follow in blues. Oh yes....practice, practice, practice...LOL! If you're talking about Jazz, forget it, take theory!
I've watched this video many times. Each time I hear new things. There many really great guitarists out there. But, Gary didn't just play guitar. It was an extension of his heart and soul. His fingers were just the means of pouring out feel. One of my favorite things about this "interview" is that he says little with his voice. His hands, heart and soul do all of the talking. RIP Gary.
Without a doubt one of the best and most versatile guitarist's EVER. To bad most people in America have no idea who he is. I got to see him live twice on Victims of the Future and Wild Frontier tours, and they are 2 of my favorite concerts ever. A 6 string genius!
My personal favorite guitarist ever. He was given the ultimate gift of the guitar. Dynamics, power, control, and anything else that would describe the ultimate greatness. RIP Gary.. you live in our hearts
Barrie McAllister underrated ? he was and still is known as one of the best guitarists on the planet . it's not all about speed , it's also about your note selection and the melody and sound you create .
I never mentioned 'anything' about speed nor style. I only wrote that GM deserved to be conspicuously recognised on an international level due to his eclectic playing styles. His singing, songwriting, Gary's great personality and so much.
Barrie McAllister but this is my point . he was recognised as all of them things , hence me disagreeing with you stating that he was underrated as he was quite the opposite as he was and still is known as on of the greatest so I think it's fair to say he was not underrated 👍
Oggy Oggy That's a dumb assumption that 'I' under-estimate Gary Moore! I was referring to the fact that when you read of the 'alleged' Greatest Guitarists Of All Time and when most other great guitarists are asked who they consider the overall best and influential guitarists are - Gary Moore seldomly makes the list. And when he has, he's never been anywhere near the top. Hence: HE'S A SEVERELY UNDERRATED GUITARIST (as a collective).
Best there’s ever been, just a pleasure and inspiration to watch him make those guitars sing and without all the gadgets that are being used today,so sad he’s gone but he will never be forgotten 🤘🏻
Jimi Hendrix was asked how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world? Hendrix replied," I don't know You'd have to ask Gary moore. wow could do Jazzy too Blues 😂💙🙏. heavy / melody tone baby Jesus im😢a believer sound definitely reminds me Hendrix his advantage is that he was great Song writer an Singer as well.

Good!
Are you being truthful?
Underrated legend.
Very. I had no idea that he was this versatile; I just thought he was a rock guitarist who dabbled with some blues. Wrong!
I think his reputation has went way way up us since his death.
That's usually what happens, sadly.
Jack Ladd you die... " oh he was so special ..different.." it happens with all humana when we die.
to me the most underrated artist is Terence Trent D'Arby, very sadly. Just listen to Holding On To You, fuck
Just realized this: I'd recognize that vibrato anywhere; very unique. One of the greatest players ever.
Gary Moore had the best vibrato ive ever seen. His ability to sustain a note is incredible.
Not as good as claptons
Think defo a better all round player than what Clapton is but Clapton’s vibrato is the best there is
BB King.. Just sayin'.....
Will give u that one
@@gregmccormack7562 I'd say that Slowhand learned vibrato from BB King...

He's speed, and the way he digs into the guitar is also awe inspiring
Man he sounds even awesome doing Jazz. Would love to buy a Jazz record by him.
Check out his work when he was in Colosseum II. It's jazz orientated.
Gary was the best blues guitar player ever, in my opinion. He was such a tasteful player. RIP Gary. You left us too soon.
Damn when he starts playing jazz.....
I know right! His phrasing is so awesome, and I don't even play jazz but that was incredible.
That's just pure heaven....
never would've thought he could pull off some mad jazz improv

with Lucy?

with medication too, ha ha
sounds like the volume wasn't the only thing that was high

He gave me chills down my spine with the power and emotion he puts into the playing

Miss you. K I N G !!!!!!
God bless you GM
To him, playing the guitar was as natural as breathing . And he could say more through his music than us mere mortals can with words
He even set smoke alarms off when he played, Gary was always on fire!!!!
A True Irish Hero that will never be forgotten.
He's not an Irish hero, they never talk about him here, I never hear his music on Irish radio or TV except with Lizzy but thats ALL about Phillo and not about Gary, ...and he is WAY down the list of great Irish musicians. You want to hear an Irish guitar legend? Ask your dad about Rory Gallagher.
@@johnc3403 Im Irish and a life long fan of Rory Gallagher, i regard Rory, Gary and Phil and everyone else from respective bands as legends equally! no need for shite radio or lists!
He was such a great player. Huge influence on me and so many others AND a great SINGER as well. So missed.
so versatile. always seemed on the verge of being a star but never got the recognition he deserved
Never willing to tread anyone's path except his own
A bit like Rory Gallagher in that respect.
Sean Duggan that's what made him so special. His playing was all his own and no part of it was copied from anyone else. Who else has dared to play the blues in such an aggressive style. He was amazing
Richard Tooth Even Kirk Hammet from Metallica is one of his fans & Joe Bonamassa played a tribute on some of his works.
He was recognised by the people who matter and enough of them to make a very good living doing what he loved, who gives a shit what the average foot tapper thinks.
A true Master of the instrument. 💞💞💞
I’m a lifelong Gary fan, since the mid 70s. I don’t think he was ever underrated. Maybe he didn’t get the commercial or international success that he deserved, but he certainly wasn’t underrated. Just read the influences of most rock and blues rock musicians and he’s usually near the top of the list. ✌️🎸
No one could touch Gary Moore!! Tone, feel, technique, dynamics, musicality... It's all there! Not to mention a great songwriter and a decent singer too!
Direct conduit from the heart and soul into the fret board; intensity only matched by SRV.
Scott Waszak ew
Scott Waszak å
yes! thank you sir! i havent seen anyone else play the guitar like gary moore and srv, The strength they apply to the strings is UNIQUE
Scott Waszak and Rory Gallagher
you need to increase your musical range, rory gallagher being one for example, but jeff healey, or hendrix, to name a few
One of THE most underrated guitar players to have played. PERIOD.
Wtf are you smoking? Wdym underrated
Keep coming back to this 9 min chill session with Gary Moore, maybe you do too? Wish this guy could have been around a little longer. Really unique player and incredible performer, zero time wasted as he started so early on and just played his way through life, truly amazing.
I love his jazz playing.
So Sad, he left us to soon.R.I.P
great
great
great
Dang, now this is something special. He sounds soo good!!!!
I love how he plays that tele. He gave it massive respect. Tele is not only a country guitar.
This one video just sums it all up for me.
Down to earth, no ego just plain bloody brilliant.
A legend sadly missed
This guy was the most complete guitarist in the world when he was alive, among know musicians obviously because there are always hidden gems in basements we'll never hear about.
Blues,Rock,Jazz, hybrid musician No effect clean. Master legend.
I check back on this video from time to time. One, so I don’t forget how incredible he was. And two, for inspiration. What emotion and attack in his playing...no matter the style.
Who loves Master Guitarist Gary Moore in 2019?
I do. Greetings from Sweden!!👍
I still do!
As long as his Music is played and we Guitarists play his songs, he will never be forgotten!
th-cam.com/video/hXtHPknsu7Y/w-d-xo.html
Gary is a legend. His passion for the guitar, his vibrato and intensity are just amazing.
@Timothy Lee A communist I see...
I do, I never stopped:-) Is that an Orange Tiny Terror that he is playing through, it sounds killer.
One of the great blues guitarists. Versatile, creative, melodic, and pure. Sadly missed.
Hands down the best guitarist ever I learned more on guitar learning one Gary Moore song than I ever learned from everyone else
that 335 sounds amazing
did any of them Not sound amazing?!
bailzzzzzz that’s because of the man playing it
I picked up a 2000 reissue of the 1961 335 block in translucent blue. He's right, the sustain is just mind boggling, and then you plug it in... My 1968 Superlead brings out all of the nuances of the guitar. Hearing Gary get his '59 Les Paul wailing in "I've still got the blues for you" is so sensual, but anyone who says that the guitar doesn't make the player has never played anything as sensitive as these. I use .38 picks and you have to refine your touch to suit the instrument. Then, it comes alive.
He left us with some great music and inspiration. RIP Gary.
Hello Mr. Frank how are you doing 😊
Amazing jazz playing by Gary. RIP.
I don’t even think we saw the best of Gary, as he just kept getting better with age and experience..sure miss him and Rory
We did but I we coulda seen Stevie Ray to he was fairly young and also loved rorys bad penny that’s my Jam at the moment
Rory was never a good as Gary
@@raefpickens1154 I saw Stevie twice, Gary and Rory once each..back in day. I went to record signing for texas flood and took a neck for a parts caster which I was building. he was stoked to sign it..such a gentleman .. he wrote "see you soon" and signed it, thinking we might bump into each other at his gig the next night...didn't link up. I stupidly put floyd rose trem on it..sold it few years later for $400..a life time ago
steve flynn Thats amazing wish I woulda had the chance to watch him play in person let alone meet him but I’m fortunate to have discovered him at all thank you for the story ✌🏻
Just when I thought my blues chops were getting real good, I watched this! RIP Gary
I used to love guys like Malmsteem and Guys for the sake of speed and pyrotechnics. But with time, I love Gary Moore's "shred" more. It's got so much more depth and personality to me; maybe not as technically fast or crazy. But his bends, blues integration, and like phrasing makes his playing so much richer and filled with like more soul or something. When I listen to really talented shredders, all I hear is scale olympics. When I listen to guys like Gary Moore I hear like really nice blues and jazz being played ferociously, not just fast scales.
And his control of tone is great(sounds stupid, but guys like Joe Bonamassa show you how important it is to not just ditch a guitar to achieve tones; with simple dial changes and picking pressure, you can get outrageously different sounds from just one guitar; it's a true skill to master ).
Yngwie wasnt for the sake of speed ..he s speed by nature , wanting to be paganini on guitar.
He has a stellar vibrato , like Violin , and soulful and slow or Articulate cool phrasing between his fast runs . That most people choose to ignore .
His attack on blues was not that far from Gary Moore ....see his version of Redhouse on the budokan 1994 .
@@Nissardpertugiu You're right. He has an old school control on his shredding with his right hand
metalheadoldschol agree. Somehow people feel now entitled to diss Yngwie Malmsteen, one of the most ever influential guitarist. A guy true to himself and playing always with passion whatever the trends and the attendance size.
Those others you mentioned may be technically great, but Gary’s playing moves me emotionally.
metalheadoldschol Yngwie is a mindless guitar machine operator, rather like typing fast, but not a musician, like Moore.
This video is truly an eternal guitar lesson, which will be for posterity. Technique, feeling, grip, melodic sense… all in one guy! It didn't even get the recognition it deserved. Gary, the uncrowned king.
Such strong message that being melodic is easily the direction to play. Obviously he could blaze whenever he wanted too.
Another under-rated Irish guitarist (along with Rory Gallagher).
Pity he was born on British soil im a relation of his from belfast
They sprouted from Ireland around the same time and were friends, a whole other side to rock history.
I think even if he was English he would probably still be under rated. So many amazing bands and people get no exposure.
WTF are you guys talking about? he's renowned worldwide, respected by the original blues players, just because he is not on peoples wallpaper doesn't make him underrated. What is your benchmark for 'Rated'? being in rolling stone magazine? eat my trousers!!!
Occupied Irish soil more like.
Why don't my pentatonic's sound like that!?
practise hard lol
Crotchet because it's pentatonic + blues notes + mix between minor and major scale
Crotchet Try dorian superimposed over your boxes, and include the flated 5th. Now don't just play any note like a pentatonic, but hear where it leads...those 'off of the pentatonic' can work like passing tones and if you listen well, you'll have more to use. Also play with the 6th for major/minor or dorian over the V in minor.
Easy to hear and follow in blues. Oh yes....practice, practice, practice...LOL! If you're talking about Jazz, forget it, take theory!
Crotchet Because Gary Moore, that's why.
michael jordan :P
He’s vibrato is out of this world
Gary Moore was truly a guitar master RIP
I've watched this video many times. Each time I hear new things. There many really great guitarists out there. But, Gary didn't just play guitar. It was an extension of his heart and soul. His fingers were just the means of pouring out feel. One of my favorite things about this "interview" is that he says little with his voice. His hands, heart and soul do all of the talking. RIP Gary.
one of the greatest Ever!
" Andrew William Gary Moore is the greatest guitar player of all " case closed. W Percival from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Gardenia🌺 Band
RIP Mr Gary Moore 💯 🤙 surly missed
Absolutely one of the best to ever play,
5:50 That solo was so fire the smoke alarm literally went off
Every note this man played was a solo unto itself
Without a doubt one of the best and most versatile guitarist's EVER. To bad most people in America have no idea who he is. I got to see him live twice on Victims of the Future and Wild Frontier tours, and they are 2 of my favorite concerts ever. A 6 string genius!
Absolutely mesmerising and effortless.
Gary Moore great
Maestro!!! In 2019 you still have the blues
My personal favorite guitarist ever. He was given the ultimate gift of the guitar. Dynamics, power, control, and anything else that would describe the ultimate greatness. RIP Gary.. you live in our hearts
He squeezed every guitar to its limit🥰
This demonstrates what awesome talent he had. Such a shame he is no longer with us
Gary Moore: such an underrated guitarist and musician.
Barrie McAllister underrated ? he was and still is known as one of the best guitarists on the planet . it's not all about speed , it's also about your note selection and the melody and sound you create .
I never mentioned 'anything' about speed nor style. I only wrote that GM deserved to be conspicuously recognised on an international level due to his eclectic playing styles. His singing, songwriting, Gary's great personality and so much.
Barrie McAllister but this is my point . he was recognised as all of them things , hence me disagreeing with you stating that he was underrated as he was quite the opposite as he was and still is known as on of the greatest so I think it's fair to say he was not underrated 👍
Barrie McAllister
I'm not sure why you underrate him.
Oggy Oggy That's a dumb assumption that 'I' under-estimate Gary Moore!
I was referring to the fact that when you read of the 'alleged' Greatest Guitarists Of All Time and when most other great guitarists are asked who they consider the overall best and influential guitarists are - Gary Moore seldomly makes the list. And when he has, he's never been anywhere near the top. Hence: HE'S A SEVERELY UNDERRATED GUITARIST (as a collective).
Best there’s ever been, just a pleasure and inspiration to watch him make those guitars sing and without all the gadgets that are being used today,so sad he’s gone but he will never be forgotten 🤘🏻
Jimi Hendrix was asked how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world? Hendrix replied," I don't know You'd have to ask Gary moore. wow could do Jazzy too Blues 😂💙🙏. heavy / melody tone baby Jesus im😢a believer sound definitely reminds me Hendrix his advantage is that he was great Song writer an Singer as well.
That is it back to practice 😮 wow!
A bit repetitive for an (idolized) god.
R.I.P Gary, You're Still The Best...💯🙏💔
This is my first Gary Moore video. Definitely not the last
Checkout the album he did with Jack Bruce and ginger baker! BBM- around the next dream! You can thank me later!😎
