HOW TO PLAY - OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY (Gary Moore)

"Over The Hills and Far Away" is one of Gary Moore's most played song on guitar, but how is it really played?
Gary had a lot of tricks up his sleeve - but luckily I found out how he's playing the song both on the album and live and will show it to you.

This is so incredible. My father and I met you at that last concert in Denver. You were so nice, as well as the members of Sabaton. Thank you for one of the greatest nights of our lives. I watch all your videos.

[@utbdoug]

Music lesson and some interesting metal history as well! You should keep "Fiddeli doo" for future use 🤘 Thanks Tommy!

[@CeciliaSimonsson]

💯💫 jättebra du spelar på dina elgitarrer tommy.💥🎸💖🎸💥

[@anetta2129]

I would like to know how to play the guitar but this is the Himalayas of difficulties for me.😳😔 so I will stick to praising and bowing for your talent.🤘😊 good night🥱🌛😋

[@brylner]

Yeah it's great. Irish and Scottish melodies, old folklore, I love it! Both Gary and Lizzy are/were Great! Awesome!!!

[@ReinXeed]

Thank you for generosity! I do not play guitar but I still found this enjoyable.

[@juliewong8527]

Thank you Tommy for being so generous in sharing this lesson with us!

[@ghost500e]

Superseriöst tack så otroligt mycket för lektionen. Fiddelido Tommy..........

[@JaneGC]

That " FIDDELI - DOG... NO DOO" 😄😂..... 🎸 - playing as always Amazing :)

[@renaissance2005]

It's actually "fiddle-dee-doo"

[@Max04Metal]

Hi Tommy Good riff ! RIP Mr Moore ! We need "fields of verdun" riff now :P

[@michaelkulow6643]

Gee, this sounds kinda familiar Tommy...hahaha thanks Tommy.. I'll try that way

[@panzerelli]

The "fiddeli doo" made my lunchbreak a better lunchbreak😂 sitting outside, somewhere in front of the school because the normal place to hang out while lunchbreak is under construction for some reason, sun shining right into my face and laughing about some fiddeli doo, that’s how I love to spend Tuesday afternoons xD Don’t forget your guitar‘s little brother! A beautiful tiny version hehe👀 I should dig out my dusty acoustic guitar that hasn’t been used in years tho. Great video as always!🔥

[@panzerelli]

@@patrikjhansson6985 …NO- I’m not going to take that musch to school. Nope xD don’t make me think about things😂🥸 ahhh perfect, and I’m not focusing on what I’m actually supposed to do. Again😂🤌 anyway xD

[@FiniCkyGuitar]

Får en känsla av att du gillar Gary Moore 🤩 Minns fiddeli-doo från vår lektion en gång i tiden. Kul å lära sig riffet rätt. Tack!

[@Tanjacs]

These Gary Moore melodies (especially from Wild Frontier) are sooo awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing!! 😊 Love that guitar 🎸 too! Concerning the Fiddeli-Doo Dog I can't quite decide if I think that he's kinda sweet or rather a bit scary...😉 It's very funny anyway!! 😂😂 Take care and have a great week, you rock!! 🤘

[@alinaban2016]

I was so sleepy, and I just found this video, I woke up... especially in the beginning that strong Hi😊😊😊❤❤❤❤Good job Tommy.

[@paulinebrook2630]

Thank you Tommy I'll have to get my Fender Squier warmed up again. I haven't played in a while but your vids inspire me to start again. 🙂

[@billiethegogoat69]

Thank you for another great video. Please keep up the amazing lessons videos. Please keep your head up during this time of uncertainty. To are really kind and an all together a good person. Also, Fiddle-do dog is an amazing breed. 100/10

[@terriwalker3994]

You’re skill on that guitar is killer to watch ! New to your channel .. and glad I did !! Your performances and insight on your talent is amazing!! Thank you for sharing your gift in music!🎶❤

[@SharqYildizi]

It is funny that Google actually answered with 'Celtic Diplomacy music' on your 'fideli' doo request. Thanks for the lesson!

[@justVikke]

Damn Tommy, it's so nice of you that you care about your fans and listen to requests! You're an amazing guitarist, pianist and singer. I've found you not so long ago and you've become and idol of mine. Thanks to you I want to try to play guitar again and this time with better effects! 🤘🔥💖

[@jayjaysjosteen4396]

Great playing - those fiddeli doos is called ornaments.

[@marinamucic908]

This is both funny and awesome. 😄 Sadly, i don't play guitar, but i love watching you play

[@GroovyVintageLady]

The same 😂

[@zarahmb1711]

There are never enough GM solos, great! The fiddelidoos are the icing on the cake and the reason the solos are so special, and it is very cool, to get all the background information, thank you for that!!!!

[@bogrenband8778]

Yes, fiddeli-doo is the right expression 😂👍🥳 And great playing, and analysis Tommy 🥰

[@emikon7283]

Thank you for your amazing lessons! Totally wonderful🤘🎶🎸💖

[@peterdelaforce2346]

Brilliant lesson Tommy, thank you for sharing

[@cheeseinmymorningtraffic]

thank you for this! ♥️🤘

[@brickan2]

"End Of This Journey" is one of the best songs I've ever listened to. I would love a new interp from yourself on it. Vocal or melody wise or both. Great song!

[@ReinXeed]

Glad to hear that! 😃🙏

[@sajesga3769]

My first ever favorite guitar solo 😍Also I love all the extra information you gave 🔥 And although I've never picked up a guitar before, I feel like I could learn this solo from the video, when I get my hands on one. 😅

[@cristinacampos2247]

Cada vez me gusta mas lo Que haces se nota que te gusta lo que haces ademas tienes Mucho mucho talento y mereces tener exito dia tras dia ademas soy seguidara numero uno tuya para mi eres el mejor y decirte que tus canciones me alegran el dia es maravilloso escucharte pedazo de artista❤

Томи Томи Томи... Феномен... 💽

[@nonnie_loest]

You're a great teacher, you can do it All, man! I love that fiddli doo in your Bismarck solo. It just added a little sweetness 🎸

[@vlinder6329]

Seems so easy, but of course it isn't. Find your FIDDELI-DOO 😛 chords AMAZING. Do you never make a mistake? Looks so simple hihi 🤭 I'm not imitating you, you are way too fast, but the sound is excellent 👌 I love this song *Over the Hills and Far Away* Thanks a lot!👍 Wish you a nice week too Tommy 💙 Bye bye 👋 🇳🇱 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@cristinacampos2247]

Eres un artista desde Los pies a la cabeza y un roquero de Primera te adoro❤

[@seankevinlynch6513]

Spot on!

[@etalogne6997]

Wow Tommy... keep going, that amazing !!!

[@carlospamplona638]

Thank you for this lesson on one of the most iconic songs ever. And your comments on the different ways to play it are reaaally cool. Thanks! Cheers from Brazil, Carlos.

[@ulfgarton]

Intressant ! 😃👏

[@othrerir_jussi]

Absolutely loved Gary’s Celtic influenced legato lines. Definitely inspired many of us to keep the fiddley doo passion alive.

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

Great Tutorial! I tried to learn your version about 6months ago - bit I guess i got a bit sloppy. -So tightening things up. AGAIN 😎😎Amazing that Gary used almost ALL downstrokes. Cheers from Madrid

[@erikaskeroth9720]

Love your tutorials, I'm a guitarist myself and you explain so clearly and well. Keep upp the good work man! Greetings from Gävle.

[@oxana_kranich]

На гитаристов я всегда смотрю как на высших существ. У меня нежные пальцы и мне больно долго играть на гитаре. Хотя всю жизнь хотела научиться. На практике оказалось тяжко😂. Спасибо за крутой разбор. Виртуоз Томми. На три вещи можно смотреть бесконечно. Как течет вода, горит огонь и работает профессионал😁. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@ronaldvlcek9022]

A great lesson..No doubts you are demonstrating good teaching skills👏👏

[@patrikjhansson6985]

Awesome 🤩🎸

[@panzerelli]

🥸

[@andreasandersson5872]

My new housegod, just love it

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Love the fact that you do these videos :) . My fingers are better suited for relieving tension in muscles but I so enjoy watching and listening to you

[@sara-dark-moon]

Beautiful 🤘🖤

[@greekfreak1980]

Very informative video. Isn't the Fiddeli-Doo basically aeolian scales, which they use a lot in celtic/irish folk music? I'm not really well verserd in musical theory, but I remember watching years ago a Paul Gilbert lesson video on Gary Moore, where he explained it like this.

[@daithimcnally8212]

I know no music theory but Im Irish. A lot of our folk music has "diddly di i"s in them, its a necessity basically for all songs.

[@zarahmb1711]

There is a Gary Moore & The Chieftains TV version of 1987 on YT. It is great, because the Fiddeli-Doo's are played with real instruments (bodhrán, uilleann pipes, violin, etc) even if the sound is not good. I think this was part of the beginning of folk metal bands like Feuerschwanz (bagpipe, hurdy-gurdy, flute, violin), Saltatio Mortis (2 bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy), In Extremo (huge bagpipes, schalmei, Nyckelharpa), Triddana (bagpipe, flute) and others. The metal instruments give the massive foundation for the songs and the traditional instruments the melodies. I love it, because I get the cool guitar solos, tons of drums and bass, and a unique sound. Wonderful!

[@sylviegrondin5288]

I don’t know much about guitars but all I can say is that I find you so talented and you play so beautifully,specially that guitar 🎸 ❤

[@onlyklas9956]

Riktigt bra grejer. 👍 Bland dom första hårdrocks låtarna som jag gillade, alltså denna. Sen även: Living ain't no crime. Det är något extra med trioler. 😀 Jättebra lektion. Och jag uppskattar att du inte berättade hur enkelt det är att spela. 😂 Tycker 9 av 10 instruktörer på KZbin, säjer hela tiden. Hur lättspelat allt är... Keep up the good work! 🙂

[@alexfbozz]

Thanks for the tutorial Tommy 😁😁thank you

[@elizabethofstainlesshearts]

You, of course, play this so well, but I also appreciate greatly that your explanation is so clear and demonstrated so well. Thank you for making this! Seriously - that Irish sound Moore did so well is so beautiful and you play it so perfectly, it's fantastic to have an instructional video from you in particular on this! (And, sorry, even if I learn what they're properly called, I'm never going to call them anything other than 'fiddeli-doos' 😄)

[@PhilFeedback]

Good job 👏

[@jonasbergstrom4771]

GULD!!!! Bättre än såhär kan du fan inte göra det Tommy!! Tack och bock, äta åt eder, min gode herre! Har en "gehör" version av den här i en av mina fingerövningqr, men nu ska jag ta mig fan lära mig den på rokt😊

[@hmvgramophone3985]

🤝 Great

[@tobiasholst8946]

Fan vad du är grym tommy 🤘🏼

[@bryang.6809]

Tommy Love your covers and your guitar chops!! Would you please cover Rectify by Gary Moore next the riffs are so sick on this song! Thanks 🤘

[@drachenmeister_mitch2443]

Fiddeli Doo 😂 that's so funny Thanks for this motivating Video, now I will take my guitar and learn to play this song 🎸👍

[@dannymcmince]

I can only imagine if you had ever got a chance to join/play with Lizzy!

[@TheRealCoyote]

I'm not a guitar player and feel it is too late to start, but I enjoyed the explanation none the less.

[@PterryDactyl88]

tommy, i just listened to the new album back to back all the way through. AMAZING, TRULY AMAZING

[@Doulos367]

Awesome job Tommy can you please do a video on Thin Lizzys Black Rose.

[@jseipp]

Fantastic!! Fiddly-doo is perfect lol I have definitely watched a number of live Sabaton videos to try and figure out what the heck you guys are doing in some parts 😂

[@aaronmead3353]

Man, how do you get that tone?! Sounds so clean 👌

[@martindengler9356]

Ever since we had that skype session and talked about it, I haven't played it any other way 😁. Thanks for uploading these tutorials, you're a great teacher Tommy 😄🤘🏻

[@aquilamxp6267]

I am never going to say legato anymore, it's all fiddleleedoo from now on :D

[@mr.pommesgabel2913]

Very Great Fiddeli- Doo!😂 See you in May 25th. In Hamburg!!! Da Reißen wir die Bude ab!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@SheWolf1968]

Fascinating to see the process. Sadly I don't have the coordination for it

[@jaqueslagerweij6882]

Never would see it coming you would play some Thin Lizzy. Would be amazing to see you play a full cover of any song of them

[@CarinaLenita]

I'm always so impressed when watching someone being as good at something as you are with that guitar, but also very confused since I don't know anything about how it's done. Probably because there is a small voice in my head telling me I wanna be able to do that as well. Oh, and Fiddeli-Doo is really cute. lol

[@CarinaLenita]

Oh yes, and I remember watching the Gary Moore Videos on MTV in the 80's, when MTV was still something to watch. Geez I'm old. Haha

[@danbux3501]

Thank you so much for this tutorial and the additional information!!!

[@mindwarp42]

... okay, now I have to grab my Celtic music cds to listen to again. 😉 I think the "fiddeli-doo", besides being an adorable dog, is the type of musical trill used in reels, one of the classic type of songs from Irish folk music. It feels more like part of a reel instead of a jig to me, at least. (Side note: at least that instrumental trill isn't insane like some classical vocal stuff a la Handel... (shudders))

[@clumsyhuman6765]

Thank you for that amazing lesson!

[@NissEhkiin]

Awesome! Can we now get for Majestica songs as well? (Above the sky, Metal United etc) And maybe even some Sabaton songs too? (even though it's easier to find tabs/lessons for them)

[@LostMyMojo100]

Thumbs up for Fiddly-Doo's... 😆😆👍👍

[@emilytetalman]

Even though I haven't played an instrument since I was 11 years old I enjoyed this video. A few years ago a friend of mine suggested I take up guitar thought. :-) Hang in there, Tommy, and take care. Thanks for the video!

[@mariadravs4882]

Wonderful, Tommy!! Sorry for such a question, but which company would you recommend an electric guitar? I've been playing acoustic for a long time, but I don't have an electric guitar:( Watching your videos, I had a desire to save up for this :)

[@gabbboca1797]

🤘🎸❤

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

So it‘s just like with Smoke on the Water, which in the original version isn‘t actually played with an open D and G string, but starts on 5-5 on the A and D string. 😁

[@rockerfootguy]

Tommy just heard your new Majestica song Metal United and absolutely loved it! Is there a new album coming anytime soon? I am a fan of your music and I live in the US. Thanks for great melodic power metal!

[@StellaJo67]

Now all I need is a physical guitar, it's kinda hard to air guitar on this song. I love all of your videos and for some reason unknown to me every time I see you've posted a new video I have to scream your name. You've got a super fan here.

[@Tassilago]

Well I'm no guitarist, so... I'm as confused as a fart in a wicker chair. I still enoyed it though. Always a pleasure watching a master at his craft. Cheers från Bollnäs :)

[@mariya19838]

Ты уже давно превзошёл Гэри Мура!🔥🔥🔥

[@RikuoCZ]

I love fiddeli-doo :D

[@skyscraper8572]

Красавец! Крутой гитарный урок! Респект тебе и благодарность, чувак!😎

[@V3ntilator]

Thankfully no one here called this a Nightwish song like everywhere else. I always found it weird, because it were a huge hit in Europe when Gary Moore released it.

[@klara--m.]

🐕 🎸 🔥 👏

[@fixdbd6532]

ty bro, can u do more gary moore tutorials, this is amazing

[@TeoNordstrom]

Hi Tommy! Can you please do a lession on the solo?

Awesome Tommy. And obviously on the GM Charvel you had made a few years back :D

[@ReinXeed]

Of course! 😃

[@DavidKrautscheid]

can we aprecciate the amazing guitar tone in this video? it sounds realy nice

[@user-vj2bp7ib4t]

Those fiddledeedoos are actually called trills here in the U.S.🤣

[@creamygoodness3018]

Fiddle dee doos 🤣 … and then it turns out to be a Rottweiler 🤣🤣👍🏼 classic!!!

[@TheButterflyChaos]

Fiddely doo killed me😂

[@nickteck3179]

great video tutorial, Tommy. But people, like me, that have short, stubby fingers, it is challenging. So there is a name for us short, stubby finger people. We are called.....drummers🤣. Have a great day, take care and God bless, Tommy.

[@theJE55]

Lol I think fiddly doos are called triplets?? 😂 that feels familiar. Great video thanks

[@ReinXeed]

That’s not what I was talking about regarding the fiddeli-doo’s. Then it’s not clear what I meant in the video. I obviously know what a triplet is 👍

[@ReinXeed]

And thanks, glad you liked it! 😊🙏
