[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hi guys Guillaume here :) When I go through the chords I meant to say D minor and not Major! Sorry about that I only realised after the edit hehe... Thanks for checking out the video anyways, stay safe and have a killer Monday!:)

[@stanislavmigra]

Are you sure about the D Minor chord? With that much push, minor chord will sound strange. To my ears it is either Dsus2 or straight D power chord (without high E string).

[@elianu3817]

@@stanislavmigra yep, I'm pretty sure it was a D dus 2

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

@stanislavmigra @Elia Nu I'm pretty sure you are both correct haha // Guillaume

[@messiahben7257]

i guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online?

[@derrickstefan7087]

@Messiah Ben flixportal :D

[@marketableplushies1842]

Rory Gallagher is one of the main people who inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn.

[@thetargets8515]

Please do more Rory Gallagher lessons they’re awesome!

[@saxonsteve]

I agree

[@marcellino1956]

I'm so glad Rory's songs are being played and re-played.....was a true Master of guitar

[@realdocloco]

It's important to mention that Rory had his Strat recabled with a single tone for the three pickups (important because your usual strat won't have a tone control for the bridge pickup). VERY nice song choice.

[@strat0871]

As did Eric Johnson on his signature model.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Absolutely I should've mentioned that! Thanks very much :) // Guillaume

[@gillesgenete9598]

Thank you for this lesson about a song of my favorite guitarist. To be underlined, Rory was not only an incredible guitarist, but also singer, composer, writer, showman, live performer (Irish Tour 74 Live in Europe 72), acoustic finger picking, slide, mandolin, saxophone. Too bad he passed away in z995 from liver surgery complications. ROP Rory.

[@sunilcunningham3080]

I was talking to a chap wbo runs a guitar shop in Parsons Green. He had a collection of Ex Rory Gallagher Amps. Yes a Vox AC30 with a Dallas RangeMaster Treble booster. (more like upper Mid boost) A certain Brian May approached Gallagher when packing up at a gig... He didn't keep this tone a secret, May went out and replicated the set up for what would be Queen... Slash also says RG is a key influence too.

[@TheIronWord]

Irish version and correct way to pronounce his name is Rory Galla-Her not GallaGer use the H not the hard G in the middle of his last name. thats just FYI and the correct way...Rory is the most underated guitarist in the history if humanity. Jimi had it right.

[@rogerfournier3284]

On point!

[@uhFruxty]

Thank you hahaha

[@PaddyByrne931]

He was the best but I dont think Jimi Hendrix ever said that and Rory Gallagher

[@alvarogonzalez7674]

Wow thanks a lot! Great job as always. Now let's go for it and spread Rory's word! Cheers.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thank you so much Alvaro !! // Guillaume

[@rednikindigo734]

Thx. Keep it simple 🤟🏻like Rory!

[@saxonsteve]

More Rory Gallagher lessons!!!!

[@darioxricci]

Wow,great video,great tone,great artist..one of my favourites

[@macknroll1]

Nice camera work, great angles, BAD ASS tune !

[@simonbarton9677]

I remember reading an interview where Rory said he typically had the volume on about 60 % or so, not all the way up.

[@jacobdoolittle124]

Awesome video! Love this unique strat tone!

[@ROKRmarc]

Excellent lesson...Thank you. Great song BTW. 🤘🎸🎶

[@SlowToe]

Legend ❤️

[@pauldncn1]

Guiillome I'm so pleased you did this I watched Rory Gallagher with his battered strat on television when i was at school ( a er few years ago ) and thought wow! As always, Thank you and i'm not selling the next ST guitar i buy whatever make! Stay well, stay safe and keep an eye on Barosci - someone needs to ! (is Big brother watching now?) from isolation UK Am i allowed to request Rush again?

[@rubenmartinmoreno6541]

Hey Guillaume! Really nice videos man. Easy to follow and understand. Great job!! I'd really love if you could show us how to nail the tone of "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron. Thnks!

[@SGVB22]

Rory actually favored the middle and bridge pickups for a sharper sound

[@murdock8068]

Middle rhythm. Bridge lead. He did switch quite often between the two.

[@josephgrogan6052]

This is great

[@davidramentol4877]

Very good

[@JakeSavich]

Great 👍

[@robertfalconer5054]

Awesome

[@paulmayer8963]

please do a guitar tutorial for Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover and how he gets his tone

[@mariomartino82]

Hi Guillaume, nice videos and thank you for give us more music in this quarantine. Can you do a tutorial on Who Knows by jimi Hendrix?

[@Steves_Music]

Can you do “closer to the sun” by slightly stooped? There are a number of videos with the intro. But the rhythm isn’t something I cannot figure out.

[@jerryvahnknight218]

Would you please do, “I’m a good man” by Jimmie Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds please? Thanks so much!

[@supernatural9r406]

What a Sound. Pffffff worldclass.

[@darrellwilliams5054]

Great video great tutorial everything is on point dude... Only one thing.. It's Rory Gallagher... It sounds like gall a her... Apologies.. Just couldn't let that slide.. Such a great musician taken too early like Randy, Dimebag the list goes on.. Peace Brother

[@PooNinja]

Zombie stomp tone from the no more tears album would be awesome. But other folks probably have more relevant selections👍🏽 Stay safe Sir

[@PooNinja]

As everyone is in lockdown I enjoy watching our hair grow longer and more unruly as the days pass 😂 ... is that why Kris shaved so he could cut it at home???

[@stanislavmigra]

Zombie stomp, nice shout ... you can check Cameron Cooper, he is expert on Ozzys guitarist riffs

[@PooNinja]

stanislavmigra thanks 👍🏽

[@stanislavmigra]

Hello Guill, magnificent work. Im great fan of Rory and this gave me goose bumps all over

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks ever so much man :) I have played with treble boosters into cranked amps and it's such an incredible experience! Unfortunately slightly too loud experience at my level I'm afraid. // Guillaume

[@stanislavmigra]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses haha, yeah loud it is :D Thankfully, there are overdrives/distortions, so I mosty play with trebble booster into overdrive with level (on OD) turned down.

[@marshallgibson89]

I would love to a lassen to Rorys Overnight Bag, Kickback City or Mississippi Sheiks. Thanks

[@petereyles9855]

hey mate can you cover rory gallagher's could've had religion, cheers

[@unskitepponen6005]

Can you teach -the item is the totem by wigwam (1977)

[@bsd0432]

For this song he used an electric sitar to give an oriental touch and he got it with Pete Townshend, guitarist of The Who

[@numv2]

Gallagher was constantly tweaking the volume and tone knobs. Constantly.

[@Camstrat-bo2dl]

when playing that lead get yourself an Octave Pedal Thank me Later :)

[@thomasborgioli8542]

Eric johson Manhattan please

[@unskitepponen6005]

Guitar solo of that song pliis

[@6ixstringsonfire12]

Tutorial of Rock and Roll Led Zeppelin!!

[@philheath9854]

What was Rorys preferred Key to play in and what scales did he use.....

[@brianmcdermott281]

Well he definitely liked D minor and he used the natural minor scale, minor pentatonic and major scale with a lot of hammer ons and pull offs, also really digging in and getting punch harmonics

[@brianmcdermott281]

Pinch*

[@erikf6525]

Good sound but without a TB and a VOX AC30 it will never sound or feel the same…got to 3 of the 4 things needed. The guitar, TB and AC30 and his fingers…

[@GuitarTime]

Good stuff 🙌 I also do fingerstyle tutorials. Let's keep inspiring each other to go forward!

[@lakaurbosa6311]

You didn´t explain anything

[@jasonrenicks7670]

He's not teaching you to play it but to get the sound and tone right for your twanger

[@samod7550]

The riff is played incorrectly.

[@stevenvandemsky7290]

It‘s called „Hit the tone“ and not „Hit the note“

[@NiftyPlymouth]

🐈🎶

[@th3edge744]

Gary Moore his live version of the sky is crying?

[@D4sF3lix2000]

Hotel California would be great !

[@mariosoldano1]

it is D minor not major

[@christiandude3149]

Ich dachte immer der hatten nen Bassman? AC30 war mir neu...

[@brunomuniz5776]

0:30 portuguese subtitles.... LOL

[@queenhasehexeyoung4106]

04-15-20wed🐇🇺🇸🎤🎸♥️💊💍💉🎶💄🥃🐰. *EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY ELECTRIC GUITAR, IF I GET RICH I SHALL FREELY HAND OUT ELECTRIC GUITARS & AMPS TO ANYONE, LIMIT 10 TO EACH PERSON*

[@corkbour7708]

If you’re going to offer more of his songs, please learn the correct way to say his name. Also, for the record, Hendrix did not say Rory was the greatest player in the world.

[@TheWorldTubes]

D minor!

[@stephent9677]

Love Rory but the Hendrix quote is not true.

[@sjirk]

hmm you really didn't hit the tone this time
