[@bennylai5186]

It proves one thing we mostly ignore: Gary Moore was a damn good singer.

[@tonygarcia2190]

Benny Lai Always thought that, GM was a great singer

[@shanegatorchapman5158]

Yes, I agree with you!

[@ronhoffman7941]

Benny Lai and one Hell of a great guitarist

[@victordeandrade5286]

Yes! I was curious about if Paul was gonna shred (did; very well) but just as much if he was going to nail the notes. Its tough man, he went falsetto as most of us would

[@musik102]

Gary a great singer? No! Just another Irishman singing in a pseudo-American accent. To be great, you have to be authentic, and natural.

[@michaelthemind]

Thumbs up for the camera man,,he knows what guitarist like to see !!

[@laci0604]

michael black exactly! :D

[@PHCMajesticGuitarworks]

michael black yeahhhh exactly....!!!

[@flatliner770]

Simply...he is in that position

[@wwolf8251]

guitarist listens not watch !!

[@mrjovilam]

Muchas gracias Michael.

[@christianalfaro7311]

To all those negative comments, this is a cover, it's an interpretation of a masterpiece. Just be thankful that Gary's music lives on and it's being given the place it rightfully deserves.

[@JonMorganRocks]

+Christian Alfaro EXACTLY! Well said!

[@denniswalsh8476]

"MASTERPIECE" is an understatement.

[@artest339]

Christian Alfaro a cover by a virtuoso

[@yondavaldez8690]

no body can't match the coolness and humbleness of THE PAUL GILBERT

[@garyarnold602]

Humility not humbleness...Jesus Christ yonda

[@Whitevaliantwarrior]

🎵 Except Gary Moore 🎸

[@davidelvis3901]

Only Gary knows how to make a guitar bleed with melodic tears that even the soul of men have no choice but to cry along with each solo line. Paul thanks for the tribute

[@Hellslayer679]

Sure Dave lol you obviously don't know what you're saying

[@m_r__r_o_b_o_t]

Paul is an amazing player, but watching this made me realise how good Gary Moore was

[@MrBobBrazil]

+Jamie Bullock That's just what I think.. I couldn't agree with you more..

[@AE-hx7wy]

+Jamie Bullock Well Paul is horrible at hearing his pitches when bending, so he bends sharp, Gary if he misses, it's still not as noticeable, probably cause he is much more musical, generally speaking. Paul = shredlord, nothing bad with that, it's just this piece takes much more concentration then playing metal, where you can bend a little shitty and still get away with it.

[@kewlbns69]

+Jamie Bullock they're both pretty much legends.

[@bruth3659]

+Jamie Bullock Did you see PGs metal vs blues clip? He sort of gets on that topic. I liked what he had to say.

[@henkzki2865]

+Jamie Bullock Agree 110 %

[@SouthpawSatch]

I never knew Paul was a Gary Moore fan until recently and when I watch this video its really clear. Incredible playing

[@magfromcal]

This is a tribute, and I think Gary, if he ever saw it, would be really appreciative. Paul never overplays his covers.

[@2zxodcfm]

Thanks to musicians who keep great music alive. As others here state we can see just how amazing Gary Moore was And know that his performance can never be matched.... A wailing, crying guitar and a deep pain vocal tsunami pouring simultaneously from the same man... strewing hearts all over the landscape enroute! How many artists can make that happen? Very, very few in fact.

[@FeelingShred]

sometimes I feel bad for Gary Moore because it seems looking from a distance that he was a very lonely person but despite trying could not connect with anyone or forgot how to connect over time... there's an aura of sadness about him, poor guy

[@FeelingShred]

emotions are powerful but emotions can also destroy you

[@gewerh44]

In my humble opinion, this is a great cover and tribute. For those complaining about the speed... believe me, Paul was playing slow here. He can play WAY faster than this.

[@andyussery8495]

Should be much slower. This is REAL blues.

[@gewerh44]

Andy Ussery "Should" Well, thats your opinion. And thats the great thing about opinions. We all can have one.

[@mihirbagchi2828]

gewerh44 you sir are a legend, I knew there were still good people left

[@jp6l6]

Even his voice is just right ! Thumb up Paul.

[@Silent_Keith]

gewerh44 Other than a couple of little fills here and there he really wasn't playing fast and this is an excellent cover of this song...

[@claudiocruzat4768]

what a class of guitar.... period, blues, metal...neoclassical...all.

[@talibe801]

Gary was the man!what a shame he´s gone,so much more to give to the world of music.R.I.P Gary Moore.

[@LilOlFunnyBoy]

I think this is pretty good. Some observant folks have pointed out that this is not Gary Moore and he doesn't play it like Gary Moore. Those people should pat themselves on the back and find some other YT videos on which to leave their banal comments.

[@ernie12man]

Well said! I loved this. And nope it aint Gary, it was PAUL! And yep the experts-of-banality? They're all masters of the blues and want to bla bla bla about "it's a slow blues" it's this, it's that. To them I say Shut the Hell up! :) This is a great rippin homage to Gary Moore,.... Paul rocks the blues with some wasabe here....

[@MrPyroclasm]

Well said if you want to listen to Gary Moore, search for Gary Moore and not Paul's rendition of Gary Moore.

[@SSVplus]

LilOlFunnyBoy No shit

[@robertwhitcomb6105]

Gary or any other player can play any given song differently on a given day.. Love them both.

[@Davesimo1]

Well said

[@MsMusicman56]

This bloke is a bloody legend and I too can't figure why anyone would put a thumbs down. Ok he's not the best singer but he isn't bad. His guitar playing is a pleasure to watch and if I could play half as good as him I would be wrapped.

[@aeroglifo]

In another video Paul is singing this an octave lower, here he's straining on that range even though he's not a singer. But that's part of why he's so cool: he takes chances and always pushes it a little more. You can tell in certain shred moments.

[@therealawakener7]

This is Gilbert's nod to one of the greatest rock/blues or anything else for that matter guitarist's to ever walk the planet earth. Gary Moore, R.I.P.

[@mattjnardo5830]

I think that it is a great tribute from a great player. Gary is and always will be my hero on guitar but respect to Paul for his acknowledgement of Gary Moore and the certain influence that he had on him. Kudos Paul Gilbert!

[@banzanto1]

Gotta give him Kudos for paying tribute Love Gary I play his stuff every day

[@wahlee1984]

Proved once again, this guy is the cleanest guitar player in the planet! I love Gary's original version more but Paul's techniques is out of this world. they're both freaking amazing guitarist in different way

[@blackshadow7429]

You simply can't expect PG to sound exactly like the creator of the song itself. Gary Moore has his name, feel, attitude and of course emotion all over this song, when he played it, which would be nearly impossible for anyone to match. I saw Gary Moore in concert play this song live and he was a guitarist that was truly emotionally connected to the instrument itself. Hats off to Paul and HIS STYLE of playing this classic!

[@juancaca1993]

As singer Paul is a very good guitarist :v

[@metalicheadnz]

+juankguitar Love your expression Juankguitar man!

[@juancaca1993]

MetallicHeadNZ XD thank you!

[@robertmortensen]

Exactly - Paul is a guitarist - period!

[@hawkwind8468]

ha!! this song is hard to sing I see now

[@leandropenna2568]

Well, that was not bad ad all!

[@rubenv3827]

Wow, I just found this on KZbin cause I love listening to guitars express themselves in their own voice. He’s not a Gary Moore tribute band, he’s showing love and gratitude to Gary. For all you haters on here let me just say “where’s your video?” Put in on here and let’s compare yours to Paul. Thanks Paul, you’re a badass and I loved Gary!

[@jamiedeyes3087]

I'm a life long Gary fan, what exactly are people having a go at here, he's obviously showing his appreciation for him here with this cover which is great, I can't play a guitar but am a fan of many great guitarists, I've heard the likes of satch and vai cover Hendrix tracks and totally over play on them, this guy just seems to have a different playing style but still plays it with respect and thought, think it's great, plus he's obviously no singer and delivers that the best he can too, it'll dinky danky doodle doo for me

[@emotakunateo9214]

jamie deyes I think the people that compare a judge music are the ones who only listens to it not feel it

[@jamiedeyes3087]

dartagnan nathan I've been to many Gary Moore concerts, that was the thing with him, he always toured, so I could see him at Manchester, then Bradford for the same tour, I've literally been moved to tears by him playing, he was for me a one off, me and my lovely wife had a track by him on at our wedding in the church, and so yes it's the feeling as well as hearing, ever heard a track and thought it's good, then when the dj on the radio tells you who it is, and it's someone you usually don't like, that's because your feeling a song, I have seen many bands, singers, and experienced some amazing dance/rave nights out to djs mixing, but none compare to seeing a Gary Moore concert, he was for me a guy who played with feeling and loved what he did, no ego on stage just there to do his best and his job and entertain the crowd.

[@shcxatter2]

Thank you!

[@Mr.CliffysWorld]

@@jamiedeyes3087 ... you wouldn't have been at the 'One Night in Dublin : a Tribute to Phil Lynott' show were you ? He had Brian Roberson and scott Gorman there to come up and play on stage with him . It was on of his best shows .

[@icu469]

Great cover by Paul Gilbert. Him and Gary Moore are in my list of all time favorite guitarists.

[@beefcake0354]

this is a cover. I'm sure PG did it to honor one of his favorite guitar players and people still find it necessary to criticize how much it sounded like the original :/

[@PhilosophyofGuitar]

+Oak Adthapol N. It's a good version and a great gesture and tribute. Yet I'm quite surprised that Paul is not playing this the top-notch way he usually plays. This song is well within his capability.

[@DeafeningRoar]

+Oak Adthapol N. Im pretty sure whenever Paul does a cover of anyone he tries his best to imitate the style of whoever the song is when he's doing the solos and stuff.

[@bradleystroup1457]

+Erotomaniax Paul has the technical ability but shred and playing with feel on the level of Gary Moore is two different things

[@kdanialshelley1341]

+Bradley Stroup I agree.

[@PhilosophyofGuitar]

+kdanial shelley That whole "shred" vs. "feeling" argument is cliched and has been beat to death. Technical ability and feeling are not mutually exclusive. A lot of people can do both. Do you know anything about music theory? Or does your opinion strictly reflect internet forums on the matter. Just curious dude. Watch the KZbin video of Paul I linked in my above post... If that's not feeling of the Blues, then you tell me.

[@azlan-e1v]

Appreciate a wonderful tribute to a legendary guitarist who has passed on RIP guitar god Gary Moore (missed)

[@kelloncannon8901]

Brushy one string The is better than all guitar players Slash included

[@kelloncannon8901]

Woops I did not know he passed sorry to his family and friends.

[@adamcogan211]

I hate people who think that a cover has to be played note to note! I don't care if it's not the way Moore played it,it's how PAUL plays it! Gilbert is the greatest guitarist who ever lived as he admitted that he's never played the same thing twice. This goes to show how great a musician he is as he still retained some speed but never lost any emotion in the notes. It's like he's composing a masterpiece without trying. The stubborn grandpas saying he's not Gary need to shut up and realise that he was never trying to be!!!!!

[@Chris741113]

***** He is one of my favourite guitarists when it comes to shred. BUT you must be tone deaf if you don't hear he bends stuff out of tune A LOT and VERY often. Soulful playing with touch and phrasing is not his strongest suite, and to claim to not hear it means you are either tone deaf or star struck.

[@AE-hx7wy]

+christian larsson Haha, svenskar kan ;) Synd att han överböjer typ hela tiden, sorgligt. Typ underskattar låten, men träffa nån random snubbe så säger ju alla samma sak "lol still got the blues är ju skit lätt" ja om man spelar som en tondöv iaf ;)

[@nosalengranosdeverte]

I love Gary Moore. irreplaceable .... But No matter who I am, if Paul played a song of mine, I would be honored till my very core :) amazing perform by Paul, thanks man for this.

[@victormendoza871]

whoever recorded this thank you for being amazing

[@nasilemakchai1053]

Am i the only one who think paul's bending and vibratos are truly world class?

[@mandarin7728]

Gary would appreciate that so much

[@MAGAMAN]

Nice! I haven't listened to anything Paul has done in about 15-20 years and was never a huge fan of his "Play finger exercises as fast as you can for solos" play style, but this rteally shows that he has grown as a player. Even the fast improves he does don't feel out of place in the song. I'm impressed and now I have to see what else he has been up to.

[@acidburn1783]

2:19 Save of the decade. Gary would be so proud of Paul.Awesome attempt, but the bend gary used to do moves me more than anything. So emotional . RIP Gary

[@jonfaerman7518]

then imagine what Gary could feel about the John Sykes Version

[@jquinnwilson]

YESS!!!!! FANTASTIC PLAYING. You're the best Paul.

[@PabloCruzat767]

No other guitarist will get the filling, soul and touch of Gary, although be more virtuous...Nobody else!!!

[@Dhaniandika17]

actually we just sit and enjoy paul playing his guitar without comparing with other guitar gods

[@lespaulwhite]

Other than Gary This is the best !!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@josephanderson3254]

Paul totally love your playing. Wish I could play half as good as you. Did a awesome job on that song. Gary would have loved it he,s up there looking down with a Big smile on his face .GREAT JOB

[@Whitevaliantwarrior]

🗣 I love Paul Gilbert, but seriously few would ever be able to even come close to playing anything that Gary Moore played and actually do it tiny justice. All those articulate and precise notes aint gonna help....🎸and Gary's vocals were soooo good that no one can sing like him🎵 🎤 🎙🔊 🎶. Thanks for trying Paul.

[@hendix2200]

The Martin Miller cover with Andy Timmons definally does it justice, it's amazing

[@rhapsody1979]

I really can't understand why all the bad reviews. Guys, i'm sorry to tell you that this is a cover, and covers are not meant to be compared to original songs. You may or may not like the cover and that is completely ok, but to compare it to the original is really useless. I really liked it.

[@paullevine1813]

Of course he's not the incomparable Gary Moore ,no one will fill that guitar strap, but still a nice tribute to one of the greatest guitar players period. It's impossible to get the sound of that 50s Les Paul of Gary's thru anything else but that, That was one awesome guitar especially in the hands of Gary Moore, He will be sorely missed.

[@madbusyboy1]

Great, great cover. I think Gary would have approved. Super tasteful solo and every note made sense. Some surprising twists and turns. Very cool.

[@forrestgump4731]

I dont like to play guitar but I really enjoy Paul's playing and btw good camera man

[@senseipaz5019]

Paul is so good man, he is such a great teacher to.... this guy deserves a place in heaven...

[@brandontheninjag]

Anyone else hear Lionel Richie's "Hello" in that main lick he's playing? Paul Gilbert is unreal. How he moves those 12" fingers that fast is incredible. What a talent!

[@christopherfarrington9270]

no

[@edge1289]

Not at all.

[@davidtemple5934]

Look up Kel & richs reaction vid on youtube ! She makes the very same observation.

[@3500ton]

Lionel was such a gentleman for not suing Moore. Unfortunately some other guy did and won.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Always reminded me of Hello.

[@tonyy5482]

I like Paul but never expected him to play - and sing :) - this Gary Moore classic. Excellent performance. Very nice, unusual guitar too, clever pick-up colours make the 2+1+2 pick-up set-up (& slide contol) look more like a traditional strat 1+1+1 set-up.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

Yeah boyyyyyyy

[@aeroglifo]

The has never been a guitarist as Paul Gilbert who plays so fast and so clean with such a clean sounding distortion.

[@lespaulwhite]

I love the guitar solo, it's also out standing, good job !!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@OfficialBloodrunner]

paul gilbert is amazing!!!

[@addieb956]

The difference between a technical guitar player and a guitar player that knows how to play with emotions and actually deliver the mood of the song Gary Moore and David Gilmour are some of my favorite guitarist cause no one can really copy them no matter how good technically they are.

[@euhenia6501]

Absolutely agree! This two masters are my faworite in the whole word too. But Gary has virtuoso technique also. When he was young, he showed it very deliberately. Then he began to use the technique specifically for beautiful music, and not just for the sake of demonstrating

[@matthewrotherham1]

This needs a few million more views!!!!

[@iBasskung]

Amazing Guitarist!!!

[@Bill_C_IPA]

Thank you so much for this video! I love that you captured his playing up close so guitarists can watch this clinic in great guitar playing. It drives me nuts when the guitar solo seems to be the time to show the crowd or the bass players face, etc.

[@beautifulguitardancewonderfood]

Wow, Paul Gilbert is the best of the best! What a guitar player! It's unreal.

[@Giax1264]

The difference between two guitarist starts from 3:37.....

[@dan44762000]

5 upvotes from a comment a year old kinda proves Paul is nowhere close to being the best of the best hahahaha

[@mikepoirier1414]

Paul you rock and I believe your best is yet to come !!! Looking forward to it!

[@RanChn]

Hand's up if you still watch at 2019

[@jamesjohnson-xc5qm]

That song is like a classic movie,no-one should even try to remake it,ever.

[@stevemorse108]

Paul is a fantastic technical player and great human being but Gary's soulful playing cannot be replicated even approached.

[@MrSvante88]

Nailed it, it's how much soul Gary put in that made him stand out.

[@psemond72]

Tushar Sharma go away fanboy, the adults are talking.

[@barrypwalkerable]

Great video!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

[@Kamy.GG.Official]

*He did a good job really*

[@DamianPieroni]

Lets be honest, we all wish we had Paul's awesome technique. Of course it's metal playing over a blues ballad, (something Gary did from time to time), but it actually works well here because Paul keeps it melodic. I'm glad he put his individual stamp on the track, and even happier that he paid homage to Gary by covering it at all.

[@sumanchhetri1809]

Gilbert is undoubtedly a great guitarist but his cover just proved that Gary Moore was a God

[@cgerman]

To all the people complaining, if you want to watch still got the blues exactly the way Gary Moore played it I suggest you look for something like "Still got the blues Gary Moore live" not cover. This is someone else covering the song

[@PulcherEtFortis]

hi guys, why you talking about souls and emotion? this is cover, not the original.. we know paul is not naturally blues player, don't compare both of legends. music are free

[@emotakunateo9214]

Bagus Satria Wibawa just shows how corrupt human nature is

[@vapesix1796]

Bagus Satria Wibawa i bet most of the "fanatic freaks" commenters cant even play instrument and not a musician. as a musician we must appreciate music, no matter in which style they play..

[@kellybrooks3646]

You should search Paul Hurley Guitar and watch him improvise on his channel, AMAZING! He also has played this song as he is a big Gary Moore fan! #Undiscoveredsoul #spreadthewordplease 🖤

[@sardomaitland8156]

Sounds good. Feels wrong. (Love Paul, but here you come to understand what made Gary so unique.)

[@panagiotischaralampous6807]

+Sardo Maitland Tottaly agree even if Paul is one of my favourites

[@marbananta]

+Sardo Maitland Yup, and I think the tempo is a little bit too fast for a blues ballad ... Missing the feeling ...

[@PhilosophyofGuitar]

+Sardo Maitland Paul is misplacing the bends within the beats compared to the original. This version has a faster tempo and the guitar tone is too edgy as well. He also downright misses at 2:16 during the interlude solo. Paul is still a genius. So was Gary.

[@bicknaynard]

+Sardo Maitland Gary actually had the blues. Ruddy, ugly, and Irish. Paul is a tall, thin American. Any blues that he claims to have are contrived.

[@PhilosophyofGuitar]

Nick Baynard ????? The Blues originated from the United States.. Paul has MAJOR Blues licks in him. KZbin it. With this one, clearly he barely practised or worked on this at all and that's why it's not at his usual level of virtuosity.

[@jasonism123]

6'4 Paul Gilbert, no wonder those hands are huge..greatest guitar player for me..technically and musically!

[@stefdcilsd597]

6'3

[@christopherhardin1848]

He cant even tough Guthrie Govan though

[@nickwaters1701]

What about Shawn Lane? He's just as good as Govan, I think.

[@1972bacosta]

Thanks to Mr. Gilbert for turning this song on to a new generation. To all the comments, we all play covers a little faster and ad-lib somewhat, that's what gives us our own style, it's our interpretation of the music ask any guitarist with a few gigs under his belt.

[@lgb1974]

Thank god you said that. I'm a massive Gilbert fan but watching this i was asking myself what was wrong with it. Too sterile maybe? Technically good but melodically bland?

[@einarabelc5]

+lgb1974 He's trying to sing and gets distracted from playing. This is out of his range.

[@PokeWub]

People disliking this are the worst kinds of musician. Paul is just having fun and playing a tribute to one of his favorite musicians. He didn’t ask to be recorded and scrutinized.

[@rocketdive4650]

Can't feels the blues, Paul, sorry. I mean I adore your playing, but just... Gary REALLY got the blues.

[@kunalrb5]

thanks for the upload, plz upload more

Even tough there´s a little mistake at 2:18... I like his improv.

[@1983Konstantin]

I think Gary would have been delighted with such a performance! ツ👍🏻👍🏻

[@Fotzkopp]

Guthrie Govan also did a cover of SGTB. Both, Paul and Guthrie, failed in my opinion. It's not because they don't understand (the technical side of) this song................. they don't understand Gary Moore. First of all, (most of the time) Gary had a much rougher and rawer sound, he hated to be too clinical. But the most important difference between them, with Gary, you can feel him battling the guitar to make it do what he wants, he is on the edge of losing control, trying to get a feeling across. There is drama in that, and that is the real art. Conversely, Paul and Guthrie make everything sound and look too easy, there is no sense of drama in their lead styles.

[@kiranchamling20]

Fotzkopp1980 That's exactly how I feel, They learned the song insideout,each and every note and in between but couldn't understand the Gary's approach. He is indeed purer and rawer sounding guitarist, unlike many guitarists who tend to use tons of effect pedals. As an audience myself I love to see how Gary battles with the strings and everytime I feel like I'm on a roller-coaster ride which about to drop from 1000 ft. I don't know if any one has noticed this, Gary hits open strings (without sounding off) in between every phrases. I love that sound. PS for me there are only 2 guitarist in this world whose approach to the rawer sounding guitar tone are Sir Gary Moore and Sir Mark Knopfler, they both of given the Fender and the Gibson a benchmark tone.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Fotzkopp1980 Claiming that neither Paul or Guthrie understood Gary Moore as well as you, seems like a very ignorant/egotistical thing to say. They may have failed the cover in your opinion but they weren't playing for you. They most likely played it to satisfy their desires. I'm actually fairly certain I've seen a Paul Gilbert interview where he named Gary Moore as one of his idols. I doubt he did a cover of this song because he thought it would be a crowd pleaser. He probably did a cover of this song because he loves it and feels very passionately about it. You have absolutely no idea what they know about Gary Moore or what they feel about a piece of music unless they've spoken about it or unless you're psychic. Just because they don't struggle with it, doesn't mean they're lacking anything.

[@Fotzkopp1980]

SomeDudeOnline To your information, i talked to Paul a few years ago and asked him about his heroes. He told me, that Gary was his biggest influence from a technical point of view, and overall his second biggest influence after Jimi Hendrix. Actually, i wasn't very surprised about that. And he also told me, that he still can't replicate Gary's approach of feel. So, i have an idea what Paul knows about Gary.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Fotzkopp1980 Well, I stand corrected. Sort of. Thank you for the information.

[@Thelizzwizz]

Wow that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read

[@MajaXuxu]

Paul is one of my guitar idol but for this one I have to admit that he's not even close!

[@doublep1980]

No offense to Paolo Gilberto,the guy rules hands down,but somebody should explain to him that this song is a SLOW BLUES BALLAD not a Racer X song.Gary Moore was also playing very fast and agressive but he use to know when he had to slow down and when to go into shred-mode,Paul doesn't.

[@Kenneth_SPNG]

To all of you saying that this should be slower. Look at Gary playing this live. He does fast solo's like Mr. Gilbert. Maybe not as fast, but its still the same. Just relax. Paul did a great job even if his voice isn't as good as Mr. Moore's. R.I.P.

[@gmdrummerboy]

I'm trying to figure out the thumbs down..... PG is ridiculous.

[@AlexanderRock911]

most likely 44 ppl didnt like the singing, but still this cover is awesome

[@7A35]

AlexanderRock911 I enjoyed the entire performance. The guy is an artist and sometimes art isn't perfect. Art is meant to be interpreted by the observer. When I listen to music I try to imagine what mental space the artist was in when they created, played, or performed it

[@7A35]

Music, by definition does fall within the criteria of art. Why did you send me such an absurd and poorly articulated message? If you don't appreciate the artist's interpretation I don't care. You should find something productive to do. Enjoy your day.

[@McGuire40695]

abels121 Just saying, all music (whether it's Bach, Justin Beiber, or some old time Blues song) is art whether you want to believe it or not. I'm sorry that you're ignorant enough to believe that only certain music is art. You're argument is like saying a drawing by a 3 year old child isn't art just because it's not at the same "skill level" as the Mona Lisa. Next time you begin to argue with someone, you should really have some knowledge on what you're arguing about and not base it off your opinions.

[@McGuire40695]

abels121 Yes, yes I am. I'm proud to be one, too. Any more compliments, love? ;)

[@freddurst9676]

rohadt Anyad chords don't make blues, though.

Paul is Paul. Gary is Gary.

[@womanslayer5114]

No one & nobody can play this song as profesional as Sir Gary Moore...

[@bbq6646]

call srv, hendrix, or gary and let see if any of them can play colorado bulldog's intro.

[@matrags]

I like it, Not as soulful as Gary's playing but not a complete horrible shred-fest either.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Mark Griffiths define "soulful" and please describe how you could possibly know how much soul was used.

[@keithreeder]

Mark Griffiths Actually, an AWFUL lot of Gary Moore's work is "horrible shred-fest" - a lot of stuff on Dirty Fingers, for example, is a cacophonous, unmusical mess. (And I'm someone who started listening to GM with Colosseum II, and who still considers "Last Exit" to be one of the best instrumental/jazz rock tracks of all time).

[@Chris741113]

SomeDudeOnline Not bending out of tune, like Paul does A LOT and often. In every performance. Also not use vibrato that makes tou think of a vibrator on the MAX-Orgasm setting.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

christian larsson Assuming you're right, that's a lack of skill, not a lack of soul.

[@Chris741113]

SomeDudeOnline Well, lack of skill it is then. I'm a fan of Paul Gilbert, mainly his alternate picking pyrotechnics. His vibrato and bending IS kinda sucky though, there is no debating that. If somebody claims otherwise and can't hear it the person is either tone deaf or star struck, blinded by being a fanatic fan. I'm a fan, just not to the point of not hearing what is obvious, he bends out of tune. A lot

[@AceFrehleyLesPaul]

I contacted Paul, through his website and he says the Fireman is now loaded with a pair of DiMarzio Air Classic pickups with an Area 67 in the middle. VERY COOL !!!!!!!

[@dylanjones4104]

The bones of this song was all about feel. Great player, but did this song no justice.

[@axleblaze123]

After listening to many covers I realise Paul is the only one who can cover the smooth picking style.

[@kay5874]

mm no

[@tjallingdejong9645]

Goes to show , Gary was quite a good singer AND (in my humble opinion) a better guitar player , Paul is just playing lines and arpeggios , Gary played with his Heart !!!
