Playing Rory Gallagher's guitar rigs (feat. Barrie Cadogan)

[@Yannplaysguitar]

Dear Guitarist. Please make more videos with Barrie! He’s such a great guitar player and a delight to watch and listen to.

[@chriswilliams-lilley3069]

Probably the best start to a new series. Brilliant idea!!!

[@mjcaster13]

I have a KZbin folder that I stash Barrie vids. He’s got some great interviews too just showing his gear. Too good!

I absolutely love Barrie.. such a player

[@anthonydavenport2174]

100% agree

[@ae3898]

Really appreciate Guitarist for the love and care that went into this video. Rory never gets the attention he deserves over here in America, so things like this are a treat.

[@highlandradioofficial5824]

Barrie is perfect for this, just a gentleman like Rory, so great to hear that vox too

[@braciole7667]

I see Barrie playing, and I click. Very inspirational guitar player. I can't think of a better person than Barrie to demo Rory's guitar.

[@realdocloco]

Exactly what I instantly thought 👍

[@davemoir7197]

Great to see Daniel taking (his uncle) Rory's heritage so seriously for all of us and posterity. Barrie, who I'd never heard, is a good choice to demo the set-ups: he admits he was not even familiar with Fenders so shows great objectivity as well as empathy.

[@SerialGothQueens]

Barrie is one of my absolute favorite guitar players, along with Rory, so this video is an absolute dream.

[@piggycity]

Favorite KZbin video of the year so far! Little Barrie playing Rory’s rig!!!

[@GwynAshtonMusic]

G'day, Barrie. Been a long time! VERY importantly, when Rory added the Twin he didn't use the Rangemaster through it. He went direct into the Twin and ran a cable from the parallel input of the Twin into the Rangemaster which was plugged into his Vox. That way he had the pure tweed Twin sound plus the distorted Vox. This has inspired me to take out my old Rangemaster, AC30 and one of my tweed Twins. (I've got three of them!) Thanks!

[@smokyFAB]

What a delight! Love Little Barrie’s attitude and playing a lot. He’s just the perfect player to give justice to this iconic rig, couldn’t have picked anyone better than him. The tones are amazing, so natural, organic and rich and yeah, so reminiscent of Rory! Tele sounds like a Tele, Strat sounds like a Strat, those amps are just perfect at amplifying those instruments in the most “high fidelity” way possible. Thanks for making such a documentary.

[@johnsmith-sm6mh]

Absolutely fantastic thank you Guitarist Barrie and Rory’s Nephew for showing and sharing his gear. Absolutely love Rory and his music 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@Richard_Lush]

Barrie is a what I think about when I think cool. Amazing player.

[@siyendell3864]

Got to see Rory's 61 in person a few years ago. It always looks worn smooth on videos and most photos. But up close (as well as there being hardily any paint on it) almost every inch of it is absolutely covered in gouges and deep dings. Its utterly battered!

[@ksharpe10]

And that is not no Phony relic, honest Rory hard workin wear. and Sweat, I heard that is what did in the paint the most. LEGENDARY PLAYER

How does your comment say “4 days ago” when this video went up less than a day ago?

@@Patrick-fm5dk I got the link for the video from inside this month's Guitarist magazine. Maybe it was only available to readers, initially??

Well it was stolen at one point. Found in a skip or ditch. Needs verification. But heard this from a good source close to band.

Thank you so much for not close mic-ing the amps!! I am constantly evangelising about that, as well as not using pedals, so this was great!

I thought, he uses the Rangemaster?

I agree about the close mic thing……

Do you know what mic that is?

This is wonderful. Thank you 👌🏼

[@supagepagechannel9139]

Thankyou for this. Really enjoyed the presentation and this shows how Rory's music evolved and how he evolved as a great guitar player. ❤ 🎸.

[@1Moonchild]

Great to get these Interesting perspectives on Rory's rigs and so deserving of the 500th issue. At the same time, though, it's hard to see/hear anyone but Rory play that beautiful Strat.

[@conormccrisken3469]

I remember talking to Barrie in Belfast after a Little Barrie gig. We were chatting about Rory. Can't think of a more fitting player to demonstrate Rory's rig. Fantastic player and songwriter.

[@leehambleton9919]

Rory greatest of all time most exciting guitar player I've ever seen and heard my idol I worshiped him was heartbroken when he died rip legend

[@davidmorinsweden]

Well, that was a truly heart warming thing to watch - and hear

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I can't wait for the Rory special issue of the magazine to hit the US!

I could listen to Barrie talk about gear and music all day.

That was some incredibly beautiful slide on that Esquire.

[@Steaminlidz]

Massive fan of both Rory and Barry Cadogan so this on point. Kudos.

[@tomcarl8021]

I played a Rory model in a guitar store here in NYC. The best Strat I ever played. It was orgasmic.

Brilliant you can hear that sound I loved rory never got to see him live my dad got me into him first album I had defender did it all backwards then got all the rest off albums afterwards 50 this year

[@andyrussell1788]

My dad saw rory at the marquee with a ac30 on a stool said lodge and mean that's all he needed wow

Yeah it was Rorys gift from the heart his music was special and his playing. Was out of this world totally orgasmic

Barrie Cadogan: "I'm not a stratocaster player" Well, he should be. The sound he gets is out of this world!

[@timothyreigstad5583]

Yikes, sends chills down my neck…love it…Rory was always beautiful and sweet or raw and smoking…he hooked me on Vox…and not being afraid to be a different!!!

[@jpallen3673]

Lots of info on the net about Rory . Saw him 4 times . Great rock & roll memory’s . My guitar hero . All original and he made no compromises ! His cd’s are missing a certain analog quality compared to his records ❤

So much respect ❤

[@johncollins5552]

When Rory got the heavier drummer O Neil in and the gigs were big coming into the late seventies, early eighties he added the Marshall to give a heavier sound for sure, it worked. Rory preferred the tele lead sound to the strat lead sound.

[@roderickbalt8993]

Rory seemed to be one that wasn't just overflowing in a creative sense but also understood very keenly what equipment would help him to achieve what he wanted to hear.

[@lindamcguigan5989]

Barrie, with Rorys, set up a beautiful history lesson

Same here! My friends make fun of me for being such a fan boy of Barrie 😂

You can, they could have gotten someone more versed into Rory and who can play his stuff. Barri admits he can't and it showed.

[@neilparks2651]

Fantastic to see the great man's gear being demonstrated. We often hear about how much of the the tone is in the fingers; interesting here, to my ears, the only tones Barrie gets that really evoke Rory, are when he plays slide.

Thank you so much, as a Rory fan since the mid-seventies, I couldn't dream of a better choice than Barrie to make Rory's gear singing once again.

[@JFrit67]

Love Barrie. So soft spoken, but a rip your head off player.

[@limpethead]

So right. I started playing a Marlin Slammer. With heavy strings. No pedals. So you go for sounds yourself. Muting and snuffed bends. If they are even a thing.

[@JonnyDee123]

That Strat and the combination of the amps and boxes definitely had a signature sound. I keep wondering what price The Strat's going to fetch in the upcoming auction?

[@robertconquest2220]

Thanks for making such a great video. Barrie is a guitar player I could listen too for hours. Great knowledge of many genres and you can learn a lot from his playing technique.

Ugh my slow-ass US book shops still don’t have issue 500 on the shelves. I hope there’s some new Rory content in this thing once I finally get it! Lol

[@michaelcunneen2665]

Barrie is great, but Dom Martin would also be good demonstrating Rory’s gear.

[@rgrtnyjjc]

Marcel Scherpenzeel or Davy Knowles could also have been excellent choices, that said Barrie did a great job and made Rory’s guitars sing again.

Great video! But did Rory use the Vox and the Twin or only the Bassman on Irish Tour?

[@1obzene]

This is a very cool video! I amazing gear and tones. What mic are you using on the amps?

[@GlennSpitzer-mi4cl]

Speaking of this school I can never get a Fender to respond well to a Treble Booster, But lets say the dark channel of JMP50 Yeah!

[@jakelee9238]

Why no mention of Rory’s use of the Hawk iii?

[@PeterWasted]

I like Barrie Cadogan a lot but I do wonder why him over another guitarist with more knowledge of Rory and his playing style?

[@CookieMonsterJams]

Same thoughts here, he even admits he can't play Rory stuff!

[@Mrs.3617]

and thats all he had was the vox just think about it all the bands that came later with all there amps,cabinets multiple pedals.Rory put his amp on 2 folding chairs his chord was mostly at its end when you watch there set.Taste was going to be no more its to bad it happened this way but in my opinion they kicked ass same old story is my favorite.Thankyou to Rorys brother and his nephew for preserving and continuing his legacy and i have no bad feelings about the auction i hope they get top dollar for everything.

[@fossilmatic]

Barrie gave a great players perspective here.

[@what1864]

they picked the right dude to play this rig , don't know anyone who could do better, Barrie is a monster on the guitar , if he was in his prime in the 60's-70's he would of been a super star no doubt in my mind ..

[@CookieMonsterJams]

I don't actually, I hoped to see some Rory licks brought to life but he admits himself "he can't play Rory", and it showed.

[@what1864]

@@CookieMonsterJams rory did it his way ,i'm sure he'd be happy seeing some young blood following in his footsteps , not just playing some other cats music , and he did play some rory licks even though he claimed he couldn't ....
