How Gary Moore Shreds The Blues

[@ronaldvandenbos2755]

Great lesson. What made Gary outstanding is the intensity and emotion in his playing. He had great vibrato and he was the best ‘bender’ on the planet.Among his best are the solo’s in Shapes of Things, Empty Rooms, Out in the fields, Still in Love with You, the Messiah will come again and Cold day in hell (live).

[@Hiddenphantom9999]

My favorite Gary Moore solo is during the Fender tribute to Jimi Hendrix with Red House. NO ONE played Red House better than Gary Moore

[@yoelcapoful]

true

[@valera_larkin]

100%!!!

[@davidmarks509]

Nobody can touch Gary Moore. 110 pct passion, makes a guitar cry like no other. Nice video.

[@cobratex7]

One of the very best Gary Moore tutorials I've seen. Brilliant. Gary's best solos for me in no particular order Still Got The Blues Oh Pretty Woman Story of the Blues Parisienne Walkways The Loner The Messiah Will Come Again The Prophet Seperate Ways -(Intro on Live Blues)

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks Chris!

[@cobratex7]

@@RossCampbellGuitarist Could you do an in depth video on how to recreate Gary Moore's tone in detail. To me the tone on Oh Pretty Woman IS the definition of tone.

[@erniebender7886]

Gary Moore solos I like .... Murder in the sky’s, victims of the future, law of the jungle, Shapes of things, Speak for yourself, Empty Rooms , Military man.... the Loner ... Nothing to lose , ect.

I just Discovered Gary This Year Now I got the Blues and I need Moore! Godspeed Brother!

[@powerslaveproductions7202]

Gary wasn't just a great blues rock guitarist/shredder his phrasing was awesome and he had feeling to his playing and he had that in spades

[@rdb9936]

Moore Gary please!

[@mts982]

rip gary moore!!!!!!!!!!!! blues alive best album ever.

[@cobratex7]

Agreed, I will never tire listening to it.

[@martinclayton7260]

My favourite is Gary's work on the Thin Album Black Rose, especially the title track! I just love how he puts a Scottish, as well as Irish Celtic parts in his playing in that song! The way that it has a jig as part of the song! Also his work with Colleseum 11!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Great album!

[@Skinny_Karlos]

Another great lesson Ross. You really capture Gary Moore's style and pass it on to even the early Intermediate player. Keep 'em coming. I can still remember when this album "Still got the Blues" album came out and three songs from that album went onto the set list of the cover band that I was playing in at that time. I wasn't even the loudest voice pushing for them, even though I was really excited at the music I'd be playing. Movin' on, Walking by Myself and Oh Pretty Woman just jumped out at me, and to my good fortune, the drummer as well. There seemed to be no problem filling the dance floor with just the opening guitar line to "I'm Walking" or "Movin' on". Those were the days - the "flock of seagulls" and their curious colleagues appeared to have flown, and music seemed to be back on the right heading.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you! Walking by Myself is such a good blues tune

[@arthurblackhistoric]

Thank you for an easy to follow glimpse into Gary Moore's massive Blues playing. For my money the best solo Gary ever played was on the immortal Still Got The Blues!!

[@brucehartsell4997]

I'm pleasantly surprised. Not many people can imitate Gary's tone and perfect bends. If you watched Gary closely, he used his index and middle fingers for most of the pentatonic work he did. For example, many times he used index on the 5th fret and middle on the 8th in the Am shape. Good lesson!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks Bruce!

[@Skypor]

Great video! Gary had so many great songs, and I think he's underrated as a vocalist as well.

[@halfindy]

Love the Out in the Fields solo. It just has a great flow between melodic, dampened, lightning fast and screaming bend. 😊

[@lukefromtonight]

Never seen you before on KZbin but my mate just showed me your channel. I've never seen such an impressive emulation of Gary! Awesome!!!

[@1994renny]

All of Gary's solos are great, and many different styles, But you can't really go past Still Got The Blues and Empty Rooms outro solos (Empty rooms live version either Stockholm 87 or from the "We want Moore" Album) Another thing that made Gary's songs so great apart from the incredible guitar playing was his lyrics, very heartfelt and full of emotion. No one really played with the passion and fire Gary had.

[@jesoneswift1471]

Gary Moore Driftin'is a masterclass in feel

[@studiomonster2012]

Love that slide right into a note. That sounds so killer. You did an incredible job representing Gary’s raw straight ahead musical approach. An awesome player you can do a vid on is Phil X. He’s another straight raw player that has so many musical tricks up his sleeve. 🎸😂👍🏼

[@paulsimmons5726]

Gary Moore is one of my favorites! You did a great job showing Gary Moore-ish playing!

[@deguchi0122Rock]

I am a Japanese guitarist. Gary Moore has respect. It was very helpful. I will do channel registration.

[@jamellecastaneda8047]

I'm a huge fan of Gary Moore. This video is spot on !!!!!!

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

The obvious one would be Gary's solo on 'Still in Love With You' from Thin Lizzy's 'Night Life' album. Also, a favourite solo for me is the solo on 'Song For Donna' from Gary's ' Back On The Streets' debut LP.

[@susancorgi]

well done!! 👏👏👏 learn a lot here

[@jimmyogata8229]

Out in the Fields for sure🤘🤘🤘

[@roliver5150]

Hi Ross. I love your lessons, they're short and to the point with really valuable information conveyed in an easy to grasp way. Gary Moore is my biggest guitar influence by far, so this was a treat. My favourite Gary Moore solos: Blues for Narada, and The Messiah will come again. For anyone on the fence, I highly recommend Ross' bulletproof guitar course. Great value for the money.

[@davidsmith-jj4iq]

Back on the streets album,so many" Don't believe a word[the blues one] The live "Red House",Track Nine,"Toughest street in town ,Because of your love,anything with Albert Collins/B.B.King.

Legendary song from legendary Gary Moore... Nice playing Ross, well done 👍👏👏

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Marin thank you!

[@ZeNeonKnight]

Excellent lesson. Thanks! You do it right, with tabs and all. Appreciate the work you put into these.

[@christian-van-e]

Great to see something about Gary: seen him live three times. Superb guitarist... RIP

[@curtpozzi5527]

My favorite Gary Moore solo by far is from "The End of The World" off the Corridors of Power album. Not to forget the blistering onto to that same song. That whole album is loaded from one end to the other with......shreddolishous...Ness, if that`s even a word for it.

[@KennyEvansUK]

Good lesson from such a young chap. Gary was a phenomenal player when you think he really only used 3 fingers and in a lot of his playing, just 2 and then mostly down strokes with the pick as well. He was quite an 'agricultural' player in that respect but man was he able to convey a ton of stuff with that technique. He was also an incredibly clean player despite his quite aggressive physical touch on the guitar. Yeah, keep the Gazza fires burning man because a whole new generation of players need to discover what a jaw dropping musician he was.

[@SethCampbell66]

Actually, that's not true. He definitely used 4 fingers, but very occasionally. Nevertheless, he was faster and better with 2 or 3 fingers than 99,99% of all guitarists out there.

[@thomasfuscaldo1804]

Favorite work of Gary's, Separate Ways, Live from London and The Messiah will com again live from Montrex

[@davidflint12]

One of my fav solos is Walking by Myself. Cool to see that one yeah

[@montyderhak]

Oh pretty woman......gm was my all time favo

I love Gary Moore !!!! Cut it out is a instrumental so... Great guitarist turning away so fast...

[@jacobfreemans8613]

Shapes of Things on the We Want Moore live album is pretty super fab spectacular,blows my mind every time.Keep rocking.

[@dorianponcela9680]

I agree. On that song Gary shreds like a beast. A lot of alternate picking on the long solo. In fact, it's one of the fastest solo's I ever heard, and I love Malmsteen as well.

[@assoremember]

Congratulations from France You are such a great guitarist!! And a great teacher !!! Whouaou !! Thanks

[@Hilai619]

As I requested!!!! Gary Moore - King of the blues, thx bro. Love ur channel and playibgv

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks!

[@stuarthossack7906]

I've been watching your vids for a while now and I've become increasingly impressed with your ability, technical knowledge and personality - I have had various one to one lessons over the years, tried to adsorb "book theory", attempted to get my head around the circle of fifths and tried to learn to play solos over chord changes, with apalling results. The teachers I've experienced, have had the theory in buckets but played like beginners - the most inspiring guitarists I have known, and met, knew next to no theory but somehow worked their playing to sound like they knew what they were doing, this is the approach I have unfortunately fallen into. I can play most advanced stuff except sweep picking, which always sounds like I've dropped my guitar down a flight of stairs, so I'm hoping you can drag me out of my musical dyslexia (I nearly spelled that wrong!!) - I've subscribed to your course today and I'll do my best to do it justice. Thanks for all the guitar stuff you do, I genuinely hope you achieve everything you want to in the world of guitar. Stuart.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much Stuart. All the best with your journey as a guitar player!

[@philtration-Em11]

Great video, one thing I read years ago, think it was 'guitarist' magazine, that Gary Moore was naturally left handed but played guitar right handed so his fretting hand was a lot stronger than a regular right hander. The rest is just blinding talent, one of the best, ever.

[@duncanjones7310]

Really good video Ross, you’re improving so much as a communicator. Nice to see you standing using your hands more rather than holding the guitar . Awesome

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks Duncan, that's reassuring to hear :)

[@MICKIN310]

i had the honor of carrying his equip once in Dublin he did not take crap from any body i love the solo on dont take me for a looser

[@shredjoe1]

Great post - love that sliding up to a bend idea; hadn't occurred to me that's how Gary did it - cheers!

[@Lew.Jeffreys]

Favourite Gary Moore song has to be ‘the loner’. Great video Ross, 👍🏻🎸

[@smithscarborough]

Awesome vid, dude! I’ve been searching for more content on Gary Moore’s lightning fast technique, so, much appreciated. Thanks for sharing!

[@jpsprotege9277]

Gary's live version of Messiah will come again is simply astonishing. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

[@troymattingly3071]

I like hearing Gary do Red House. He does a great performance on The Messiah will come again. Thank you for this, excellent, content!💯

[@navintheyagaraj9540]

Love your feel. Is there any songs or tunes you've put up. I'd love to hear you play a whole tune

[@alanb494]

Iv only watched the intro and I’m subscribing

[@asegal4677]

Extremely clear and accurate lesson.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you 🙏

Really nice work. Usually Gary Moore lessons are bad cos not many guitarist cant imitate his intense style. But you did great job here.

[@ubershredder1989]

that is one intense lesson, one of the best I've seen on Gary moore, and ive seen 100s. I dont know what it is but I have difficulty playing trills. I can get good hammers and ok pull-offs, but when it comes to combining the two and playing them rapidly, it all falls apart..

[@rockhard4life]

Explained very well and demonstrated very clearly ..... thank you!

[@EBP_rehab_performance]

unreal!! badass lesson Ross!

[@dwaynemullett9462]

Great stuff Ross I would love to see a lesson on how to play the exact solo you played in the intro

[@rolandbeatty7115]

The solo from his cover of Hey Joe on the album Blues for Jimi is great

[@mts982]

Blues Alive best album ever. RIP GM.

[@verminfawlty-arat.5650]

Really Enjoyed this. Fav Solo's would be Moore's live version of Don't Believe a Word or the extended outro solo to the live version of Still Got the Blues that he did on the final Montreux DVD.

[@TheMicklemasmoose]

Great lesson.Gary was always one of my favourite guitarists and I was lucky enough to see him live solo. Bought myself a sunburst Les Paul Standard for my 60th birthday. I would love to play those fast licks but I think I should have started playing at 5 years old. Will have to stick to Peter Green style solos. My choice of solo would be Still got the Blues.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Great choice! That's awesome that you got to see him live.

[@billhannum4117]

Great video great playing . I am a huge fan of Gary Moore

[@gimmee99]

Fantastic lesson as usual. I heard a fantastic Gary Moore tune on SiriusXM today and meant to remember the title but It has slipped my mind and now it bums me out even more. For artist recommendations, I would LOVE to see something in the style of Mark Kendall from Great White. Especially the great blues rock stuff in songs like "Rock Me"

[@arthurc1971]

Great video. This was a great song by Albert King, he sounded so good live, Albert and Gary were great together.

[@niptodstan]

Ross. Do you ever do your vibrato higher up the neck but take your hand off the neck, so the only contact is the fingertip that is being used? I find that it gives a deeper sweep of vibrato (I’m a 59 year old, old school player). Plus a tip I give people it to hit the note and hold for a moment before you do the vibrato. Keith Scott of Bryan Adams used to do this too. You explain well. I’ve only just come across your channel today as I’m making the move into recording on a Mac. I’m looking for an interface now.

[@treborin]

Thanks for this video Ross. Hear about Gary Moore playing is a good way to understand that feeling your own play is what you need to be unique

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Very interesting analysis! Very clear and super well performed. Thanks for sharing knowledge.

[@NielsBeier]

Pretty Woman is such a killer tune! Great video as per usual, Ross!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Agreed! Cheers man

[@kscottgray]

A lesson on the Still got the blues solo would be great. Also, share the overdrive/effects and amp your using, including the tone knob settings on your Les Paul.

[@waynecaley166]

Great video 🎸

[@guismth]

Solo in story of the blues, blues alive.

[@ralphlong9443]

Love your lessons. I'm 57 and desperate to learn how to mix maj and min pentatonics. I get that it's about understanding I IV V but I struggle applying it.

[@rodneycampbell3825]

Hey you really captured that sound properly

[@fenthedog]

Great stuff man!

[@toddmoney8921]

I'd love for you to dissect The Messiah Will Come Again from Montreux! Probably Gary's most incredible performance!

[@sixstringguitarist1937]

Sounds good only correction I may add is Gary used Soldano 100 heads in still got the blues album and after hours album. He used Marshall after that 😉

[@frate-Cain]

Pentatonic scale = NUMERO UNO 👌

[@ChiroVette]

Hey, great video! I do have a question about Gary Moore in general. I recently learned Still Got The Blues, beginning to end. And unless I’m wrong, almost the entirety of both of those solos, the first short, one, and the outro solo a pretty much alternate picking. Unless I’m missing something, since you did mention that he does use a lot of hammer ons, which I was already aware of and songs, like Oh Pretty Woman, as well as walking by myself, neither of those I’ve started learning yet, but I intend to. I definitely hear and see the hammer ons in both of those songs, but Still Got The Blues at least from what I’m hearing is mostly or pretty much all alternate picking.

[@cjgsicknote]

Cheers ross, great lesson yet again, i was listening to josh smith describing going through chord changes in his playing using more jazz style licks to mix in with his blues. I couldnt quite grasp the concept so anything related to this "colouring" of pentatonics with these jazzy licks over chord changes would help me greatly. Many thanks for your vids, hope i made sense!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Totally man. I saw Josh do a clinic gig here in Edinburgh not too long ago, incredible player.
