Rory Gallagher - Jam Session, Guitar Techniques & As The Crow Flies

[@jcripp7974]

The internet has given this man the recognition he always so rightly deserved. He's gaining fans all over the world at rapid rate. Most don't understand why he got by them and they are avid music lovers and musicians alike. He never sought it. He just did what he did because thats what he did. Amazing talent and heart and soul. And now the whole world is hearing and seeing. Very cool. Play on Rory Gallagher!!!!

[@rock90753]

The completely applies to me! 55 years old, felt blues in my bones since I was in the single digits. Listened to a lot of Clapton, SRV, bb king, knopler, Santana and then 3 years ago I stumbled on Rory! I heard of the name but never looked him up years ago. Found myself wondering how I could have gone 35 years and never heard him play! Simply amazing. A legend! Thank you al gore for inventing the Internet! 🤣

[@leehambleton9919]

I loved your comments you are spot on with what you say about Rory it was never about fame he always sidetracked fame he just wanted to play absolute legend

[@t.sewell1513]

Agreed!

[@paulwhiston1836]

Really only discovered him recently by accident and only because I like joy division so shadowplay came up in a search and now I'm a huge fan trying to get as many records as my meagre budget will allow and watching as much on KZbin as I can. He is 100% the greatest guitarist of all time, if Jimi Hendrix says so it makes it true.

[@edgaraquino2324]

The thing that put Rory a notch above Clapton was that he was a master of his craft & was willing to talk about it to anyone who asked...besides the blues, he was also steeped in many other musical genres so he played with a lot of different musicians...what a great Master class professor he would have made! Clapton was known to have been a blues snob at one time & was not open to dialogue as Rory always was...😊

[@MrPhotodoc]

The best thing about Rory is that he was authentic. And everyone knew it.

[@HannibalsFlics]

If more people knew about Rory the world would be the better for it.

Rory was one of the most versatile string players in the rock, blues world. Under appreciated by too many people. Left us way too soon. Thankful I was able to see him play several times and meet him once.

Have attended Rory's concerts several times. Amazing! Rory is (not was) an unique artist!!

[@janicebroom1612]

My first live gig was to see Rory at what used to be called Bristol Colston Hall around 1977 - I am guessing the date it was a long time ago - went to see him there several times, he remains my favourite guitarist and was always great value, I don't understand how he came to be undervalued generally, great that KZbin is bringing him to more attention

[@ericsantiago2746]

I will never tire of listening or watching this man play. Way ahead of his time.

[@MrMiseeire]

The best blues guitarist that came out of my county -- Donegal. He is missed. There is a Rory Gallagher festival every year in Donegal. I gotta be there this year.

[@davidburne9477]

Correction, best blues guitarist that came out of ANYWHERE!

[@joelcampbell1491]

He was awesome

[@dannyr.8326]

My first time I heard Rory was when radio was playing moon child. Then I went off to the Air Force in 1977. One of my friends had top priority. After I heard that I quickly bought many other albums and became a huge fan. I'm still deeply moved by his passing. The best music man that ever walked the planet. And a wonderful person.

Rory is still one of my favorite musicians after all these years. So glad I got to meet him one time after a great show at the Whiskey in Hollywood.

He is probably the best player of this generation

[@movid3369]

I saw Rory in France, 1976...🐦 crazy!

[@markroberton6259]

Inspirational and still very humble. Rory just loved playing! He was the litmus, a guide for what is good guitar playing. No effect s on his personality or his instrument - a true troubadour and ultimately a legend to regard alongside the greats in blues.

[@axeman2638]

And that's what makes him great, his humility and passion for it, as much as his playing.

[@shakeyourguitartutorials]

So true . : )

[@spiccybaby]

What a wonderful student of the music, always curious, always learning, such a knowledge of his craft. Heartbreaking that he died way before his time.

[@axeman2638]

His passion, humility and honesty are just infectious, I'm finally coming to appreciate him.

[@alejandramarquez235]

A fantastic clip to watch again and again. I've forgotten what he explained about the guitars and way of playing with the fingers. A ray of light to see Rory.

[@michaelolz]

I truly believe God blesses this man with not only amazing talent, but amazing humility. Not only did this make him approachable, but also open to ideas and innovation. He was truly the greatest and his inability to run with that superlative actually made him better. That is how greatness is supposed to work. I hope to meet him in Heaven some day.

Listening 🎧 music 🎵🎶🎶🎵 was ez to listen to cause of him Rory Gallagher and in 1970 my brother was out of Nam USMC NAM 69thur70, and had 200plus albums and Rory Gallagher was my hero he played guitar 🎸 strat plus slide blues rock etc. Plus harmonica etc. But for me I was 11 years younger than my brother and had gotten a deal on a Pearl White strat mid to late 60s and was learning to play Hendrix , Allman brothers, James Gang blues Rock guitar players legends original stuff 🎵 and that was a new and original time and there was Rory Gallagher the best of the best really to me he's the best really. And yet alot have never heard of him. But regardless he was and still is the best bet all time. In 1974 Rory Gallagher was voted the internationally the best guatarist of them all. And it's obvious facts truth clear as can be. Rory holds up to the test of time blues rock and so many more styles and instruments and 🎵🎶🎵🎶 music, just listen, miss him and Love 🙏 him he's a legend.

The Edge should do himself a favour & sit up nights watching Rory Gallagher then maybe he would not have to rely on so many effects.With just an amp & a guitar I think the Edge would be afraid to be in the same room as Rory . U2 is supposed to be the best band in the world right now but I think I will stick to somebody who can run me through the gamut of human emotion just by playing a few notes or singing a song that was so honestly full of heart and soul.A true musician if there ever was one.

[@thomasjensen3214]

I agree Rory is way above The Edge. But stop comparing, Edge has a different approach to guitar playing, Rory plays lead solos, Edge paints a soundscape inside the song. Apples or oranges. They both serve a purpose!!!
