Dude, let me tell you... This is the kind of tutorship that I've been looking for but never see, where you go step by step and show how it's done. Everybody else basically parades their skills which sounds great but does nothing for the learner. But you've taken my hand and shown me the way. I'm just past a third of the video and I'm already sounding like I've never before, I had to take a break and comment. Awesome video lesson
Brilliant!!! You have opened up a whole new way to look at lead playing for me. The front end/back end description is a brilliant. Thanks!! Love your playing and your videos!!
Thx for this! Will be fun to mess with. I came into Gary Moore late. Then, like a year later, learned he was in Thin Lizzy! I knew there was a reason i always loved Cowboy Song and Jailbreak.
Exactly, Mahogany rush frank Marino is necessary guitarist. He just plays Hendrix style but screams Christmas carol melody. He's done it since 70s long before satriani. World anthem I wouldn't say it's Similar to (once upon time in west) by Shawn Lane. y You know what I mean. Shawn Lane is the guitarist someone should've recognized way back, when van Halen first released. Shawn was in black oak Arkansas 78 79. Playing alien solos, (mindless shred light years over people's heads,but that was impressive. Van Halen on acid was fascinating great guitarist back then) Shawn wasnt mentioned anywhere from what I remember. Instead shrapnel discovered Shawn in the 80s and didn't release album until 86, 87 when Yngyang, Paul Gilbert , Vinnie Moore, Toni macalpine, and satriani all released records. I think satriani was separate lable. Thank God for KLOS los Angeles and KNAC long beach unashamed. I don't know much about thin Lizzy or Gary Moore. I discovered Gary Moore in 82, 83 'end of the world'. That was powerful until I learned it. Michael Angelo adapts 'end of the world' fretboard gymnastics. I rarely listen to 80s shredders anymore since polyphia, ichika, charlie robbins, manual gardner. Game changed thimp right hand flamenco' technique. As a flat plcker, its one of the worst habits depend on, months probably a year everyday I thump through G scale whatever when I'm not paying attention just because I don't want to re callus my thumb again. Three times I callused my thumb ten years? Thump is not awkward anymore, I just don't have perfect metronome finesse.
Didn't know what to expect when I watched this but wasn't expecting to learn so much stuff. There were so many movements i saw there that sounded awesome. I learned more watching you demo that than any other vid seen so far. Tricks....thats the trick! Slowing it down you make it look achievable 😂 Great content 👌
A great lick that really helped me nail the “roll” method is the opening lead lines from Ram Jam’s “Black Betty”. But don’t underestimate the “roll” method on the back-end notes of the pentatonic either.Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Page roll on both the front and back ends of the pentatonic. Also a great technique is to slide into notes,either sliding foward or backwards. Great lesson! Ps… thank you for the Stranglehold solo lesson. I learned it in one afternoon thanks to your amazing teaching.
Kelly, I not only agree with the comment below, which Thanked you for "Taking him by the hand and teaching him", and not just showing off your playing, like Others do, I Also want you to KNOW, there is one thing that sets you apart, and Superior, from other "teachers" on TH-cam... Each time you teach a phrase, You ADD IT TO THE REST of the SOLO, after showing the phrase slowly, YOU start Back at the Beginning of the Solo AGAIN, EACH TIME, so EACH Phrase is heard IN CONTEXT, and in Addition, to what you've already played!... THAT May SOUND like a simple thing to some people, but it is Vitally Necessary, to learn EACH PHRASE, as it FITS into the REST of the Solo!.. A PERFECT Way to teach it, and a Perfect Example, of an EXCELLENT Instructor!.. How I WISH I lived next door to you, and could purchase individual lessons!... But learning HERE is an Excellent way for me to improve my soloing!... Would you ever consider the Solo in "Mr. Crowley"?.. THANK YOU, for your help, Sir!
Well done. Yup. I have been learning the solo to Highway star, and discovered I need to work this technique which I rarely use. After a couple weeks I am loving it. Cheers
I think stacking notes,was a more common practice for players in the 70's, that's when I learned it. Lots of players used it, like Billy Gibbons, (la grange), Angus Young, (shock me all night long). As well as almost every blues player from back in the day. Great lesson
This just popped up on my TH-cam feed. I missed it the first time around. Excellent lesson!! I learned some incredibly helpful stuff that I will use a lot going forward. Thank you!
Agree with @jnWayn……….would like to see something on Gilmour…… when you were down at fifth, and showed the lower extension making the back the front notes cool!
good tip...although i have been using the "rollover" quite a lot, but sort of "forgot" to play the lower position (of a m) to be able to bend the 5th fret notes more.....cheers...ahain...😀
Excellent video! Thanks for digging into this awesome lick. I've been trying to figure this one out for so long that I gave up and just did my own thing there 🤪
Eric Clapton does vertical pentatonic motion ALL the time. Huge part of his technique. Especially the solos on the "Fresh Cream" album; absolutely delicious rolls. The fast lick in "Spoonful" comes to mind.
Everyone needs to watch Gary Moore live in Ireland "emerald isles" concert he did in 84ish...a stock standard strat..through some loud marshalls..with just a few stomp boxes...man.he was a monster!...he was evh.malmsteen.beck.vai.holdsworth.all rolled into one...
Excellent and exactly correct. That's the sort of lick that Eric Clapton originally brought to the game. In fact, Gary Moore very much carries on the tradition that Clapton established during his John Mayall and Cream days. Regrettably, Eric picked up a Strat and forgot how to play like that.
Thanks! Great lesson/demonstration! The quick Blues Lesson at the end covered everything I didn't know about the Blues (Yeah, I suck at Blues)! What a great bonus! Thank you! Subbed, with notifications!!!!
I just HAVE to learn this riff, even on an octave lower it sounds sexy as hell ..... well, it would! Awesome stuff Kelly, thank you so very, very much for walking us through this fabulous riff. Hats off to you sir 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘☮☮☮ EDIT: Back end notes and front end notes ..... you literally blew my mind in one sentence. I consider myself very slow to get the gist of these things, but that right there turned the light ON ! HUGE gratitude to you.
Kelly I love the way you explain what your doing. You make it so much easier to understand. I’m glad I found your channel. Gary Moore is a new find for me I’m shocked I didn’t know him really before this. I started playing at age 57 and have been playing for a little over a year. So I have been a big rock and metal guy for ever but what I’m finding is blues touches my soul when it comes to playing. Everyone is like you need to learn rock songs but I just don’t find the happiness in it copying other peoples songs. Does that make sense? Thanks for channel
Hey James! Thanks for that, much appreciated. I used to find blues guitar boring, until I started playing it. Very addictive, haha. So much feel and emotion in it.
Love this lesson…really wanting to learn some delta blues slide guitar with accoustic and electric…can you do some lessons with this type of instruction for beginner to intermediate level ❤🎸🎶thanks
Sometimes it's the slow blues parts that are the hardest to imitate, check out Peter Green who Gary Moore was a fan of, not to mention slow solo parts like Jimmy Page that need years of practice, my opinion only
Nice, I don't think it has a double bend-up combo though... ;) It's more an extra stroke on te way back down ;) The second round, de extra stroke is not even there...
Must say, you clearly have the feel for early Peter Green style as well as Gary Moore - and we all know the links between those two. I've been looking through your channel and expected to see some of your excellent demos, 'discussions' and explorations of PG's legendary use of sparse notes and silences. Haven't spotted anything yet. Is anything planned?
Hate to tell you but, what you call the bottom strings are more commonly known as the top strings. Otherwise, it's a nice demonstration of this lick. I wish you'd talk about notes rather than numbers. What if I say to a pianist or a sax player "It's 5 to 8 on the B string?"
Yeah, I know, haha. Since I was a kid I've always called the high strings the bottom, because from the vantage point of looking down at the neck, they are in the bottom. I know it's wrong however. Shall do my best to correct this going forward.
I remember when I heard Gary's version of "Shapes of Things" - the solo in that song was great. The cliche blues stuff I feel he did not reach his potential. I think had he abandoned the conventional and cliche' blues stuff, his dedication and creativity would have outshone Jimmy Page. Jimmy was also a blues player but he kept pushing his playing into new sounds. If you listen to JP's playing across the several LZ albums, he covers a lot more ground, musically. "Down by the Seaside" for example; "Ocean"; on and on. I think GM could have blown him away because he seemed to take practicing, or at least *_accurate articulation_* more seriously than JP. JP only worried about accurate articulation when cutting a studio album, which was a real shame. Gary could have done a lot more. Look what Jeff Beck did. Gary could have done the same with more commercial appeal.
he’s from Northern Ireland.A whole other different country compared to the Republic of Ireland.As was Eric Bell..not Irish but from ‘Northern Ireland’.
he was very proud of his Ulster roots and his background…not in a sectarian way but more of a diverse and very different and talented Northern Irish talent
Need way less talking and more guitar playing. At 1:58 he finally stops yapping & starts playing the lick. Also would be way better if like most guitar instructional videos the camera was focused on the guitar neck and not the whole frame. Yes that right, the whole headless torso playing guitar video style. This guy Kelly Dean Allen (is that right?) has a really nice vibrato.

Thanks Wayne, appreciate that very much.
Great comment!
Why
Ya alot of teachers show you what to play, but not HOW to play. Big difference.
Great tip with the finger roll and shining a light on a Guitar Legend ,
R.I.P Gary
Gary Moore was a fantastic player/musician. Glad he found himself before he departed. Best blues you'll ever hear. From the depths of his soul. RIP.
Brilliant!!! You have opened up a whole new way to look at lead playing for me. The front end/back end description is a brilliant. Thanks!! Love your playing and your videos!!
When I learned this lick from your "still got the blues" tutorial I felt like a Guitar God! Still creeping my way through the outro solo, great stuff!
Great tutorial Kelly
I really like the way you break it down. I’m listening. Thx brother.
Thx for this! Will be fun to mess with. I came into Gary Moore late. Then, like a year later, learned he was in Thin Lizzy! I knew there was a reason i always loved Cowboy Song and Jailbreak.
KDA- GREAT LESS! I really like the front end/back end approach and how to treat them. VERY HELPFUL. Thanks
Love this, especially the bends you show in the “front end” in form 5. Totally cool.
I’m a big fan of Gary, but I learned these techniques from Frank Marino. Thanks for the break down. This is gold!
Frank Marino is amazing!

That rolling technique i learned from michael schenker..in the late 70's...he is my top 3 favorites......
Anything Gary moore is just great for me!!!!!!
Thanks my friend! I enjoy learning from you.when I need to learn something, I look u up!
With love from Corpus Christi Texas. ❤❤❤

ANgus Young does that roll quite often in his solos. It is difficult to get at first, but, once attained, it can flow effortlessly. Nice tutorial.
Appreciate that mate! And thanks for not complaining that I talk to much, haha.

Muitíssimo obrigado pela dica, valeu demais 😎🎸

Cool lesson dude, I like your teaching style and have subbed
Great Lesson Kelly. Just subscribed
Love Gary Moore and Gilmour. This is a killer video man. Nothing appeals to me more than the emotions a guitar solo carries
Gilmour....minor leaguer
Brilliant 👏 👏
Awesome lesson! I'm going to have to dig into this tomorrow.
I would love to see you tackle more lick lesson videos like this!
This just popped up on my TH-cam feed. I missed it the first time around. Excellent lesson!! I learned some incredibly helpful stuff that I will use a lot going forward. Thank you!

George Harrison was asked, whose you favorite guitar player. He replied , Gary Moore. Reason, hes got the best pitch
😅no he didn't that's crap
Wow, you really helped me out! Thank you!
Best guitar channel on youtube
You're too kind, thanks mate!
Billy gibbons rolls a ton in his leads along with double stops...its great..and fills out the sound in a trio
Thanks! Great lesson/demonstration! The quick Blues Lesson at the end covered everything I didn't know about the Blues (Yeah, I suck at Blues)! What a great bonus! Thank you! Subbed, with notifications!!!!
Excellent 🎶
Damn good lesson man thx
the outro solo is AMAZING, you should do it. Thanks for the lesson.
Have already covered it a couple of times. th-cam.com/video/6n5h4PTIm9g/w-d-xo.html

Catch Gary Moore's solo in Me and the Boys by Thin Lizzy. Live from the Sydney Opera House. He's on fire!
This is so helpful
Killer lesson...
Thanks mate! And also thanks for not saying that I talk too much, haha.
the first note was cool.
Love the lesson, but how do you get that tone?
thankyou !
Love this lesson…really wanting to learn some delta blues slide guitar with accoustic and electric…can you do some lessons with this type of instruction for beginner to intermediate level ❤🎸🎶thanks
Nice lick to pocket to spice up the pentatonic phrasing
Top 3 strings actually. Sorry, that's the teacher in me. Tx for the vid.
VERY COOL!
Thank you so much man !!!!!
I believe there's a Randy Rhoads private guitar lesson that is very similar to this , I'm gonna try and find it .
thanks
there's a lot of these rolls in "coming back to life" by pink floyd.
Sometimes it's the slow blues parts that are the hardest to imitate, check out Peter Green who Gary Moore was a fan of, not to mention slow solo parts like Jimmy Page that need years of practice, my opinion only

Everyone, you guys should listen to Parisienne Walkways LIVE LONDON
Obsession justified.
Life In The Fast Lane
Hey Kelly Dean thanks for the videos man! I want to ask what amp are you using for your guitar? Sounds cool.

Thanks man! A grand idea to have a closer look at Peter Green. I'll give it some thought.
Beauty lesson, eh!
I have met Gary and he wasba gentleman, but would turn in his grave calling him Irish he was British from Northern Ireland UK
Just found your page. GREAT stuff!
Thanks Cody!
Friend, are you from Minnesota or North Dakota!?!?!
Nova Scotia, Canada actually.
@KellyDeanAllenGuitar right on! I wasn't quite North enough I reckon!!😀

That rolling on the 7s comes from Clapton
who learned it from every blues guy he listened to. they all do the finger roll. Freddy King is a great example. Clapton does it well, for sure.
I wonder what Gary had as far as Theory? I call a lick like that a shuffle.
6:49
The end.
He was Northern Irish 😁
I remember when I heard Gary's version of "Shapes of Things" - the solo in that song was great.

Ha, saw this and thought, no I don't NEED to know.
he’s from Northern Ireland.A whole other different country compared to the Republic of Ireland.As was Eric Bell..not Irish but from ‘Northern Ireland’.
he was very proud of his Ulster roots and his background…not in a sectarian way but more of a diverse and very different and talented Northern Irish talent
I believe their is a significant irish/catholic population in northern ireland
@@Yalbou I believe there is a significant Muslim/English population in England..the same goes for Wales and Scotland probably…what’s your point?🤔
Top 3 strings. Bottom strings are the low strings top are the higher strings....
I prefer 5 smooth note more from Robben Ford than the brutalized speed licks from Gary Moore.
sounds like every other lick esp when half assed
We can talk music and go to the depths with life. Hit me back.
I’m in bed now
I show all my "licks" to beginners in the time it takes to play it. YT is a virus.
Need way less talking and more guitar playing. At 1:58 he finally stops yapping & starts playing the lick. Also would be way better if like most guitar instructional videos the camera was focused on the guitar neck and not the whole frame.

This guy Kelly Dean Allen (is that right?) has a really nice vibrato.
Not sure you got it down
learn the pentatonic shapes so theyre second nature , then learn how to play outside of them
I just came to see people bitching about the talking in the comments
It only took 4 and half minutes to actually hear the lick. Verbosity is your hallmark. You know what Frank Z said, shut up and play yer guitar!
Less talking more playing
Less commenting more fucking off
Much appreciated! Prayers for Canadian political insanity!
