3 Gary Moore Licks From 1982

[@TheSavage1969]

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.

[@LateNightLessons]

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! : )

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

[@Riffster59]

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.

[@beharneli619]

Absolutely true. He is bigger than some greatest names in history.

[@raultavarez007]

Awesome,first heard Gary with Thin Lizzy but liked his solo work, Epic guitarist, what an influence!

[@scootterpootter]

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.

[@BoudreauGuitars]

Victims of the future, AWESOME album!

[@johnladd5016]

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

13:55 Steve Vai isn't the only one. And i think, guys like George Lynch and Jason Becker (both massive fans of Gary) had that idea (tapping instead of picking) earlier than Steve. Check out "Jason Becker at 15 Plays Gary Moore"!

[@christianneumann9027]

Your playing is even much better than Gary Moore's and your guitar sound reminds me on a violine in its best shape. I like to listen to your very well belanced mixture of reverb and delay. Matthias Jabs of Scorpions played in the past an amp called Mastertone,.this is the right explanation of your sound - a Mastertone. My big compliment!

Another under-appreciated guitarist, at least these days imho, with phenomenal bending prowess is Ty Tabor of King’s X. I would melt if you covered some stuff from “Flies and Blue Skies” off the Dogman album. And actually, Gretchen Goes to Nebraska is chock full of interesting chords that would be great for your “Chords Of...” series. Really loving your channel. Sub’d, if it’s not obvious.

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.

[@6stringhellion]

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.

[@btu45nh]

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

[@420THUNDER]

[@Mruppertrinity]

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.

[@moss1transcendant]

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.

[@halfindy]

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.

[@clamdigr]

Great video David!!! You play those so fluidly. Vivian Campbell is heavily influenced by Gray Moore as well, how about a "3 licks from" vid featuring VC licks from the DIO days? :-) Now I'm off to watch you George Lynch video. Thanks again!!

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

[@raymonddixon7603]

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.

[@MatsDagerlind]

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.

[@jonbigg7385]

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!

Your fast picking seems to come from your fingers instead of your wrist.

[@MetalMan73100]

My introduction to Gary Moore was in the mid-80s, from Run For Cover and until the end of the decade. Of That period, my favourite of his albums is still After The War. Its predecessors are also full of great songs and performances, but suffer from awful, tinny 80s production aesthetics. When Still Got The Blues was released in 1990, I hated it. Sure, it was bluesy, but in an overly commercial manner. Apart from buying the BBM album in 1994, my interest in Gary Moore didn´t reignite until Dark Days In Paradise came out in 1997. Great album, as is its experimental follow up. Unfortunately, probably due to declining sales, Moore went back to the blues in 2000 on, ehm, Back To The Blues. The music on it is about as inspiring as its dumbed down title. But I will always appreciate Gary Moore for what he did before Still Got The Blues, as well as a couple of albums after his blues/pop period of the early 90s. Phenomenal player.

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.

[@abnzg]

huge respect Dave. BUT. your picking technique is too efficient :) all those pivot licks around 13:00 in this video, Gazza would've just locked his wrist and picked from the elbow. He brutalised the strings into submission, your efficient wrist and thumb movements are too... good :)

I have seen him in 1984 (Victims tour) - front of stage - sweating like hell (booger coming out his nose) - with red fender strat and with the hamer guitar lifting on a stage-podium. A lot of very fast one finger legato thrills at this time. I was really impressed, that such an outstanding guitar player can sing this amazing. (My grandma told me - if you would like to play the guitar you have to sing - and I could not) ~ Can you sing David?
