The Doug Aldrich Guitar Method - Episode 3: Gary Moore, Michael Schenker and More!

In episode three of the Doug Aldrich Guitar Method, the Dead Daisies and former Whitesnake guitarist shows you some licks he uses that were inspired by Michael Schenker and Gary Moore, as well as a staccato picking technique.

[@lifeisnice23]

Michael Schenker's a guitar genius and he still plays amazing in 2020! His unique distinctive tone and incredible touch , still got it, never ever lost it 🤘🤘

[@heavyrelic8506]

Michael Schenker: one of the finest vibrato in the game

[@dr.feelgood246]

Marty Friedman, Zakk Wylde?

[@pt5820]

Great guitarist, one of my favorite, his style is awesome. Thank you Doug for this valuable lesson

[@edminer9061]

This guy can shred just as good as anybody.He seems to be timid,or shy.He is one of my favorites.

[@zekenkena]

Humble!

[@robbrooks693]

I worked at a studio that Doug was tracking some Bad Moon Rising sessions at and he was there for a number of months. I've met a lot of people in the business and he has to be in the Top 3 of the nicest.

[@jayrusnak]

Some guys just sound good no matter what they play--he's certainly one of them.

[@michaelwilson2497]

Watching him get stuck a couple of times was encouraging. Dude is so humble. Amazing player. Great tone.

[@scienceisgod1]

Now I know why I like Doug's playing so much! Gary and Michael are still my fav's! The only time I got to see Gary live was at the Roxy in '87 and Michael was there watching!

[@ShadeHope1969]

Doug, your lessons have launched me I new directions and have taken me way beyond my skills, imagination and goals. You are so greatly appreciated. Much love bro. Shade Hope, Lead guitar for The Southern Drift Band.

[@pauljohnson1065]

I'm gonna watch more of Doug's videos. Excellent!!!

[@donharrold1375]

Glad someone is remembering Gazza! Phenomenal player as is Doug.

[@sonicmayhym]

as a guitarist who has been self taught and mostly learned from the power of observation..i appreciate Doug as well as Joel Hokestra because i always take something away from there lessons, even after playing for 35+ years..just love how both of them approach there playing there note choices and especially where and how they bend there notes.Doug is not just an amazing player but an amazing person.i mean who wouldn't chomp the bit at an opportunity to hang out and work with Doug. one of the greatest guitarist for sure

[@ashanetrevin]

Very humble musician and fantastic player❤🌹

[@michaelsingley5641]

Gary Moore and Michael Schenker vibrato kings

[@aryandeka4921]

Great lesson from great player

[@OhNoNotThis]

Looking forward to more. Thank you Doug.

[@greekfreak1980]

For those,who aren't familiar with Gary Moore and wondering:figures 34 & 35 are from ''The End of the World'',from ''Corridors of Power''. There's a live version of this,where Gary does an insane shred intro,on a Les Paul Jr. to boot.Prepare to get your faces melted.

[@TobyKBTY]

Probably one of the most underrated guitar heroes around, and YES that live version is one of the sickest things ever.

[@gaysquirrels6915]

Toby K. Surprising how underrated he was! Shame! In my opinion he was the best.

[@greekfreak1980]

Underrated mostly among mainstream audiences in the US.In Europe,Gary was a big name and among famous guitarists,he's always mentioned,when they ask about influences.Paul Gilbert and Joe Bonamassa have done covers,of his songs,among other famous players.

[@dannymcmince]

Gary is sorely missed!

[@TobyKBTY]

greekfreak1980 that’s amazing to hear! Didn’t know he had a much bigger following in EU, which is cool.

[@felixplaza823]

We still have legends and guitar GODS between us!!! Doug is one without a doubt! Keeping the flag of Rock high!!! \m/

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Gary has been an inspiration for many great people!

[@lawrencedavis5459]

Andrea Maccianti the greatest guitarist ever.

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Lawrence Davis Totally agree with you💪🤘😆

[@jamesmccracken9323]

Randy Rhoads is number 1 then its Gary Moore then its Ed Van Halen then Jimmy Page etc !!!!!!! Gary Moore had very fast fingers for a person that never took a lesson -he was bloody great !!!!

[@greekfreak1980]

Fun Facts:Gary was a lefty,but played right hand guitars,because he couldn't find any lefty models,growing up in Ireland. And he was a professionally trained guitarist,proficient in spanish guitar and even Jazz/Fusion.There's a quote of him:''I spent so many years,learning all the scales and modes,as a young kid and then spent even more years,as a grown man,trying to forget them,when I play.''

[@adamwarlock5286]

I'd put it European ( Schenker/Moore) and american Ed and Randy but Randy was influenced by michael as well as you can hear Love to love in relevation mother earth, but also there is the Parisienne walkways quote in the Mr Crowley refrain.

[@jesusjcpaz]

Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos MAESTRO ! Saludos desde Merlo Argentina

[@marcstraw4318]

Doug Aldrich is brilliant. He can play everything. I've been watching him live with Whitesnake, Glenn Hughes and the Dead Daisies. He blew me away...

[@richardbinder9662]

Doug nailed the End of the World guitar solo. Me and a girlfriend had the great opportunity to go backstage at a Hurricane concert in Orlando in the early 90's. I know Tony the bassist. He was so cool. Been a big fan ever since. The band had to get on the bus, so we were only there for about twenty minutes. Good thing , I think my girlfriend was falling in love with him. Could have lost her to a lot worse. I would have traded lessons. Hope you youngsters are watching. Quit shoe gazing, thinking you're a drummer by pressing a button on a drum machine. I feel there's nothing more fun and satisfying to pull off a cool lick or learn a new cord pattern. Thanks Doug Aldrich.

[@xrichalex1791]

Me encanto esta lección, no hace mucho empecé a escuchar a Whitesnake y a sus violeros. Doug, Adrián, Joel, me motivaron mucho. Y que bueno tono tiene Doug, es dificil encontrar lecciones de esta calidad.

[@motojohnny7175]

Amazing so so underrated

[@a_ks6533]

Doug is the King! He knows what he is talking about. Very unique way of shredding he has. Love his playing. \m/ rOckOnDoUg\m/

[@6randy6rhoads6]

Great lesson! Thank you man

[@dinourbani4068]

HOLD ON! I have to pick up my teeth off the floor! This guy is an amazing player. Great lesson - thank you for posting.

[@agy04022761]

Thanks for those closing words. Play dirty & rock on !

[@paulajane9828]

Your awesome i love your music forever 💯🎸🤘❤

[@GreenerHill]

I once managed to fool a guitar-playing friend that Save Yourself (the solo intro) was by Moore! While they didn't sound interchangeable, they had some common ground in their playing. They gave Van Halen some good competition in the late '70's / early '80s.

[@ddguitars1969]

Doug is just fkin awesome.. love that he tips the hat to these guys from forty years ago

[@LeonTodd]

Doug is the BOSS

[@mickdebergerac1143]

Personally…. I think Mr. Aldrich is quite underrated.... He's awesome!!!

[@lespauloruke]

You're right, as was Gary Moore

[@THEtimguitartaylor]

Doug is a treasure!

[@fjk1138]

Doug is awesome and a super cool guy.

[@ivorharden]

Doug goes on about not having the music college theory but he has done something that we have all dreamed about - playing in arenas around the world. Great lesson Doug.

[@eldirtyfaygo5395]

Music is about feel, not to decipher it. Those Berkeley guys sure know allot of theory and exotic scales but can't write worth shit a catchy song that sells. Just masterbation to show off to the other Berkeley clowns.

[@brotherfiretribe9566]

Wtf you talking about nerd simp

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Anyone know if those are his signature pups in that guitar?

[@RMGCBG]

Who’s here because they saw Gary Moore & Michael Schenker?

[@fifoasis]

Awesome vídeo, Doug and Zakk's licks patterns have some similarities

[@curtpozzi5527]

I've seen Doug play for Dio, then a short time later play for Whitesnake w/Reb Beach...shredders!!

[@j.staley7425]

What kind of guitar is Doug using in this clip?

[@Katsem]

Love Gary and Michael, both brilliant. When Doug played some of the Gary Moore stuff, I thought it sounded like Jake E. Lee. He’s another of my favorites. I wonder if Jake was influenced by Gary Moore.

Quick to grab one of the new Suhr Aura's

[@SIXSTRING63]

I’ve been using those Maj7 arpeggio riffs for years. A jazz guy taught me that stuff in the early 80’s. I applied it to rock probably before a lot of big name guys except Gary Moore. He was a force in the mid 70’s that just never seemed to get credit he deserved. I believe he was doing Van Halen type stuff way before they hit the scene big in ‘78. Just that nobody knew Gary here. Too bad. I feel fortunate that the Les Paul in my profile pic that belongs to Mr. Bernie Marsden had been played by Gary at one time before me. Gary and Bernie were very close. I heard a lot of from the first person some great stories of British rock guitar hero’s.

[@JustChopsingPodcast]

Woah dude, is that the guitar gary got from Peter Green. ?

[@SIXSTRING63]

@@JustChopsingPodcast No, that would be Greeny that is now owned by Kirk Hamett of Metallica. This was Bernie Marsden's '59 "The Beast". Gary and Bernie were good friends and Gary was always trying to buy it from Bernie. Gary played at Bernie's wedding. The Beast was Eric Clapton's and Paul Kossoff's before Bernie bought it in 1974. Jeff Beck, George Harrison, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Moore, Steve Lukather............ have all played it before I got my hands on it. Surreal to say the least.

[@christopherfarrington9270]

@@SIXSTRING63 i went to see bernie do a guitar demonstration in my local music store and he said gary moore was the greatest guitar player he has ever seen.

[@ALDOPINEDAPINO]

Last sentence of this video.... (9:13)..... AMEN.

[@mannyfragoza9652]

when you are improvising all that school knowledge goes out the window A lot of times i play stuff i have no clue where it came from, it just flows out like turning a faucet. Ive seen EVH a few times where someone would ask Eddie where do your great playing from? He looks up at the ceiling and points. In other words its a gift from God and really cant explain it himself.

[@rjmoore3]

what is that guitar. I like it, a lot,

[@beachgirl4583]

Suhr Aura guitar.

[@stevenpierce8331]

I know this guys is a shred Monster, but he seems like such a normal guy, like the struggles we all have. to quote him at 7:02..... " What I would do is, normally,...That's somthin that you,.....aah I.. you know...(deep breathe)....yUH,, I need ta praah...I need to it practice it sloooow,aahaannd get it solid, annd then, then we can do it......But,. so this is,but,..you see, youre seein,,.. thaaa strings on the puppets,.. now...,so, bbutt this is basically,...ya.....I gotta take it like this"....... Proceeds to sound like me.. Still a great Interview. I learned a ton about guitar, guitar Gods, And Myself.

[@gregbaker6215]

I have always felt a connection with you because of the way we have picked up bits and pieces from who ever had our attention at the time. I took some lessons here and there but mostly self taught and the down and dirty school of hard Knox. My biggest regret is I joined the Air Force in 1980 and really wanted to move to Los Angles and become a rock star. I used to learn songs from records that I had and would fall asleep with guitar in hand a lot. Any way I really dig your style of guitar playing and wish you all the best. Say hi to the other Dead Daisies for me , or not. Just tell John to Fuck off! Hahahahahaha 🎸😈🎸
