The Blues Rock Solo You MUST Know - Still Got The Blues!!! | Gary Moore Lesson

[@stevec9972]

The explanation of the progression in the beginning is a Good example of why learning some theory is useful. I actually got the gist of it😳🤔

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Awesome. Learning “usable” music theory is a good thing!!! Thanks for the comment!!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸

[@jodyferguson3068]

Gary Moore one of my favorite favorite guitarist of all times

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Wish he had taken better care of himself! Miss him still!! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@NotBenCoultry]

Perfect. Been keeping my eyes peeled for a solo to learn for skill-gathering and new phrases and this is an old favorite I tried learning long before I was able as a 2nd or 3rd year player. I'm thinking this and Extreme - Rest in Peace should open up some weirder areas for me.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Yes those are great ones. Enjoy! 🎸🎶🔥

[@nezmet]

Really great video. I love your teaching style. Very indepth but you're not insulting anyone's intelligence while you're doing it. As someone who's been playing for over 20 years but never learned that much theory until recently, you're videos really help answer the 'why' to the techniques and licks I already have the 'how' for. Thabk you for doing this!

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Great comment - thank you. I’ve found knowing the “why” makes it easier to translate ideas all over the fretboard. Best wishes for your playing!!! 🎸🔥🎶

[@Kazi_Tamaddun]

Take a bow, Charlie ❤

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Well thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it. 🎸

[@ralphditchburn1456]

Wow. Teaching this. Thank you

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Thanks for the comment! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@crazydiamondjr]

That was great. I have been blagging that fast lick for years.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Awesome!!! Glad you could use it!!!

[@Drakkhen888]

I love it! I'll try to learn it asap. Maybe next time you'll show us how to play Parisienne Walkways...

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

You can do it!!!! Thanks for the comment!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸

[@martynspooner5822]

I do not have a clue how you manage to work this stuff out but it is amazing. Your knowledge of this instrument is humbling for me. Thanks for all that you teach and share. Oh and you absolutely nailed that cheers

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

LONG time Gary fan….that record was huge for me. Thanks for all your support 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

Thanks Charlie 👏👏💯💯💜💙🤍❤️

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

My pleasure! Thanks for your support as always!! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@wscott-ly4rt]

Just a stellar lesson, thank you! I'll be spending a lot of time appreciating the association of notes and chord tones/arpeggios. I've been listening to these descending progressions for years- they go back to Baroque music (Vivaldi), Bach, and resurrected in the Cabaret music in Europe in the 30's and 40's. Parisian Walkways similarly constructed, I think.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Yes Parisienne Walkways is similar!!! Thanks for the great comment! 🎸🎶🔥

[@Bubba-zu6yr]

Good stuff, thanks! Been playing this tune out for years, it always reminds me of “Autumn Leaves” which uses similar changes.✌️

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Yep - go through that in the video. Also the same changes as Europa by Santana!!!! Thanks for the comment! 🎸❤‍🔥🎶❤‍🔥🎸

[@VladG]

POW! Another killer lesson!

[@gibs8412]

He was playing "greeny" a famous les paul, origionally owned by Peter Green, the pick ups are wired out of phase, makes it very bright. Its the one in the picture.

[@sparpant]

It is the one in the picture but Gary used another ‘59 Les Paul nicknamed “Stripe” for most of the album including this track. It was his main live guitar in the early 90’s too. “Greeny” was only used on a couple of songs in the set including “The Messiah Will Come Again” and “Parisienne Walkways”. “Stripe” has no pickup covers which is the easiest way to tell the difference between the two guitars.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Yep Greeny is a legendary guitar - but as mentioned below he played “Stripe” on Still Got The Blues. Greeny is in the thumbnails

[@gibs8412]

@@sparpant they are both the same color too? I saw him using grenny live with Thin lizzy in 78

[@sparpant]

@@gibs8412 They are quite similar in colour - any ‘burst faded by the passage of time. I think “Greeny” was the only Les Paul Standard Gary owned until he bought “Stripe” in 1988 and was the main guitar he played with Lizzy.

[@gibs8412]

@@sparpant he had it screaming w some marshall stacks and a pedal boosting it.

[@MarkJohnson-ht8wd]

With Long you get Moore.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

That’s awesome 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@JohnPaule-j3u]

Great lesson and sound. Would love to know what equipment you are using. Thank you

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Actually using a PodGo for this one…Friedman BE model with gain really low…Klon model in front of it. Reverb and a little delay. Thanks for the comment! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@ristoy1]

Hi Charlie good job. Garys music deserves to be appreciated. The last 4 chords of the solo to my inderstanding should be voiced Bm7b5, Bm7b5, E7, A7. what is your take on that. Risto

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Pretty sure it stays on E7 because it goes back to A minor for the chorus. Thanks for taking time to comment! 🎸🎶🔥

[@geraldboettcher8011]

What kind of pickups are you using?.... And what kind was Gary using?

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

That’s a Seymour Duncan 59….Im sure Gary’s “Stripe” had the original PAF’s still in it. 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@geraldboettcher8011]

Thank you for the reply. I was wondering what kind of pickups to put in my guitar... The 59s sound great.. To get that Gary Moore sound... 👍 Rock on my blood brother 👍

[@chrischoir3594]

Gary was not a great blue player, he was better at metal

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

That’s how I first heard him!!! Had the vinyl “We Want Moore” and wore it out back in college!! 🎶🎸🔥🎸🎶

[@gav25x]

Yeah, that's why all the blues legends wanted to play with him. He was rubbish at the blues 😂🤨

[@mohamedharak2689]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@chrischoir3594]

@@gav25x they wanted to play with him because Gary was relevant at 1 point, it's much like great musicians want to play on stage with Dave Grohl because Dave fills stadiums. I've seen footage of Paul from the Beatles and Page from Zeppelin playing with Grohl, they don't think he is a good player they just know they can get more fans sharing the stage with him. I hope that makes sense.

[@gav25x]

@chrischoir3594 so when did he stop being relevant?. If you listen to the legendary blues players he shared the stage with, they all spoke very highly of him, and his playing

[@billywright8252]

Thanks!
