GUITARIST FIRST TIME LISTENING - "Gary Moore - Still Got the Blues" - REACTION

[@joelucas1017]

When Gary Moore passed the world of music lost the greatest guitarist to ever live R.I.P Gary moore

[@k0smos798]

I am interested what people think about Gary. His delivery is just spot on with the vocals and guitar tone. His delivery is astonishing. I think of his playing and singing as a perfect marriage. The control is epic and the emotion and combination of these things show us Artist of great magnitude. I know it is just music...but, I don't know many people that can give me chills like this. His guitaring is pure naked brilliance.

[@Stringfelowhawke]

Gary Moore is the best Blues player, Period!!!!!

[@Grummash]

Lots of guitarist can play lots of notes very quickly… But Gary knew how to do it to great musical effect, not simply showing off! The range of tones he achieved, and the emotion he conveyed… absolute genius, and a massive loss to the world.

I remember begging my dad to let me go to a Gary Moore gig - he wasn't keen but went along. It was so loud our ears were ringing for two days! Anyway, listen to "A million miles away" by Rory and have your mind swept of its feet!

[@jutta3378]

@@robertrohde4579 Great company indeed! I was born in Germany but Rory put Ireland on the map for me when I was a kid. Because of him I took up the guitar in my teens. I've lived in Dublin most of my adult life but Donegal is where my heart is. One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited and the area is just steeped in fantastic music. Fun fact: Rory was born at the Rock Hospital (that's its real name, no pun intended!) in Ballyshannon, Donegal!

What a master guitarist. He could really make his instrument sing & wail. Love it. Also he had a great voice. Another one gone too soon but at least he left us a great legacy of music.

Its crazy that they didn't utilize his voice with Thin Lizzy. I dont know much about Gary though, maybe he hadnt really developed his singing voice at the time.

[@ghbill4r82]

@@RByrne His voice is great, but there’s no touching Phil’s vocals. Some of the smartest things he ever did was pairing up with Phil, on vocals and bass.

[@ghbill4r82]

And you’re right about developing his voice. His best vocals were from his blues playing days later in his career.

Watch him live playing The Messiah will come again.

[@laurarominger2073]

This song makes me cry. His voice as emotional as the guitar. First time watching you. I like you. You’re low key so if you give a half smile I know you’re really digging it. Haha

[@derekvance9944]

I would suggest that you look for Gary performing Red House, he kills it for 9 minutes. I would also look for him playing with B. B. King on The Thrill Is Gone. For me that's the best call and response I've ever seen and what's more you are watching two superb guitarists who are thoroughly enjoying playing together. It's such a nice thing to see B.B. applauding Gary while they are performing, just a wonderful performance, I would have loved to have been in the audience!

[@Saffy-yr8vo]

What you’ve got to understand is us Celts are incredibly emotional as a people. We will try and emote our feelings and beyond with emotion. On all its senses it’s what we do. Gary is an artistic example. Jump in jump on. I saw him do this stuff live. I just put my arms on the stage my legs couldn’t hardly hold me. My Celtic heart was one with him.

[@Saffy-yr8vo]

Mm

[@leenaylor2650]

He made the guitar cry

[@allenarmour8287]

If you like that version - check out this version of still got the blues... actually recorded live for his album blues alive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCac6qYocatoLM

[@Stringfelowhawke]

The Studio version is the best!

[@stevenewcomer8837]

Gary was in Thin Lizzy and several other Rock bands and put out a bunch of solo albums. The “Still Got the Blues” album was his first straight Blues album. His album “Corridors Of Power” is great! He also played guitar on Greg Lake’s (Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) solo albums.

[@robertmyers3443]

Where did a guitar player come from that Never heard of Mr. Moore?

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

All Time Classic, he lifed it, not played it in my humble Opinion, thx for bringing Him up, nice Recap. Stay Healthy!

[@sean---the-other-one]

Spot on, from my point of view. This live version is extremely similar to the studio original, which I would recommend that you listen to. You could skip to the second guitar solo, as that’s where the subtle difference kicks in. The studio environment, with a) the ability to try multiple takes (or even stitch takes together), and b) the restraint of a producer telling him to just lay off the shredding, turned out a much more intense and soulful result. The studio version of this song was one of two songs I ever heard in my life that compelled me to stop my car and just listen the first time I heard it on the radio. It was the outro guitar solo that got me in this song (along with its buildup). The other song was Tip Of My Tongue by Diesel, a very different song to Still Got The Blues, but a very compelling and unusual song and sound.

[@Isleofskye]

I understand why you said "skip" on the basis you gave already heard the studio version but it should be a criminal offence to skip any part of Gary's work:)

[@sean---the-other-one]

@@Isleofskye I only suggested it here as Gary and the whole band do an incredible job of replicating the studio version here live. I had to listen hard i. The first couple of bars to tell if they had just dubbed a live video with the studio recording. But in this instance it is definitely the subtle restraint of the studio version in the outro that retains all of the incredible skill and soul of his performance and jettisons the unnecessary finger-exercise shredding.

[@Isleofskye]

Thanks Sean although there is something to be said for a little finger exercise, occasionally...

This is just the tiniest taste of his guitar work. He is IMHO, the greatest guitar player that ever lived. Here's the proof; "THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZyTaJ1tgch_p9k

[@gregtillett9676]

He was the lead guitarist for Thin Lizzy when he started

[@ghbill4r82]

He was with the original version of Skid Row and in Collosseum (not sure if I spelled that right), before that. At 15 years old he was already great.

Mach ich sonst nie, aber hier gibt es eine Ausnahme: Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues (Lyrics): Used to be so easy to give my heart away But I found out the hard way There's a price you have to pay I found out that love was no friend of mine I should have known time after time So long, it was so long ago But I've still got the blues for you Used to be so easy to fall in love again But I found out the hard way It's a road that leads to pain I found that love was more than just a game You're playin' to win, but you lose just the same So long, it was so long ago But I've still got the blues for you So many years since I've seen your face Here in my heart, there's an empty space Where you used to be So long, it was so long ago But I've still got the blues for you Though the days come and go There is one thing I know I've still got the blues for you

[@genov9374]

Gary can really make that guitar sing the blues. The guitar used to belong to Peter Green-a founding member of Fleetwood Mac. The top pickup was installed backwards by the Gibson factory (not all that uncommon) and results in a unique sound of a Fender-like brightness combined with the Gibson dirtiness. Gibson offered to fix it for Peter, but he refused. Peter sold the guitar to Gary Moore, whom he gave guitar lessons to, for the price he paid, I think $695. When Gary died (2011) the guitar went into various collections until it is reported that Joe Bonamassa bought it and still uses it today.

[@radmehrhasani299]

Kirk Hammett has it now

[@genov9374]

@@radmehrhasani299 Nice-it's in good hands still. Thanks for the info.

[@TheNoncritical1]

Moore did own the guitar you speak of, but the guitar he used in this video is not that guitar. Look closely at the pickups; they are uncovered. There are other differences as well. Moore often used guitars with higher output pickups when performing in live situations.

[@genov9374]

OK, thanks Non critical 😀

[@ronfinn9169]

Being a guitarist yourself..........I'm sure you have checked out Joe Bonamassa and Mark Knofler of dire straits. Joe's duo with Beth Hart is great. Mark solo in Sultans of Swing is super.

[@jokerreactions7077]

Of course I know Sultans of Swing. Don't know joe's music too well, but I reacted to a few of his already. 2 with beth hart and one with jimmy barnes. Were couple of my very early videos, so probably not the best quality and I had to take one down again. But I loved bis play!!
