This is a little trick I've been using for a while in mostly pentatonic lines. the way it's played means that the notes sound more textured and make licks sound a bit more complicated than they actually are.
Finally a great humble teacher -straight to clear & precise points without too much conversation and bullshit .And no long goofy intro either.Thank You !!!
Utterly fantastic! I've been trying to unlock these Gary Moore style tricks for years and finally decided I just couldn't play melodically with speed. I was wrong. TrueFire and other online sources either don't cover this stuff, or don't teach it effectively. Thanks, Dan. Genuinely. After watching a few of your videos, you've already unlocked a lot of buried potential in my playing.
Gotta be the best Gary Moore lesson channel going. Really captures the character of how he plays those fast flurries!! Looking forward to more Gary content!!! Thank you 😊 🙌🏼
Dan I've been a fan of Gary Moore since the first time I heard him blazing away for Thin Lizzy!... You showing us this technique, (some may call it a "trick" but you still have to learn it and get it in your hands and fingers, your muscle memory!) In ANY event you have solved something that's been at the back of my mind wandering for YEARS... " How the hell did that man play some of those licks that he did at SUCH a Frightening SPEED?".. Well, he didn't use that in all of those super fast licks he was an incredibly fast picker ANYWAY, but I just wanted to THANK YOU, for such a COOL addition, to ANY lead player's Speed repertoire!.. 👍👍👍
@@medmusic7977 exactly, you cant say «technically» when it is a subjective manner, and listing two randoms like Hendrix and Guthrie does not make any sense, like what kind of criteria have you then set for them???
Of all the things Gary Moore's ever played on, written or recorded, his playing on Thin Lizzy song Sarah is sublime. Your average Heavy Metal Harry couldn't play anything like that in a million years.
Yeah. He was a great jazz rock guitaist as well. Had that wildness and vibrato that was unique and so many excellent players lack. Gary's stuff with Colloseum 2 was so raw, it brought the jazz maths to life.
When I first started lessons back in 1994 I told my instructor that I wanted to learn all the cool rock tricks on electric guitar. While he did a great job teaching me all the important stuff (and lots of actual classic rock songs), he did not teach me the "tricks" that I asked for. You're already covering these in the first two videos I've seen, yesterday and now today. So it took me a while, but I found someone to teach them to me. Now I get that the basics are required to really learn these tricks (knowing all the pentatonic minor shapes for example), but someone needed to show me the tricks. It's similar to learning a skilled trade. Thank you.
Wow, thanks man! Huge Gary Moore fan, but I never realized this was what he was doing. I can already hear how this could be used for sooo many iconic Gary Moore moments. Definitely going to give it a go - hope it'll click for me ;)
Glad the vid helped you, yeah he didn’t do it all of the the time but I’ve transcribed solos for people and noticed a lot of it happening in his lines. Hope you have some fun with it!
I discovered you quite by chance Dan and am blown away by this, it's really fantastic. As a long time, but very mediocre player, this has opened up a whole new world for me and will be trying this on my Epiphone Les Paul Standard today.
My Epiphone LP Standard go a whole new set of electronic upgrades, tuners, Tusq nut and Seymour Duncan Slash pickups put in it years ago. It's. A.Full. On. Rock. Machine. Now....!
Alright mate... liked and subscribed. Need more videos like this. I have always struggled to figure out how to use pentatonic scales and this video opens it up for me.
i don't usually watch guitar videos but when i do is your channel to look for some gary licks that i can't understand, thanks for all your hard work! from a Gary fan to another i salute you from Argentina!
Great to see you back Dan with another awesome lesson. You should be out there playing in a GM tribute band - you're the only person on RU-vid with the true authentic GM sound. 😉
Pure gold! I'm quite fast and made my own thing that sounds about the same, but this just showed me how to get the exact sound I was looking for. Thanks!
hey, ive been av massive fan of gary moore and your yt channel for years. gary were the guitar player who got me into guitar. ive learned alot of his songs because of you, so i thank you for that. couple of weeks ago i came upon this video with Gary moore and George harrison, playing the song While my guitar gentely wheeps. its the best cover of the song ive heard, the way gary plays in that song is absolutley genius. i would love to see you do a video on how he plays it. ive only playd guitar for about 1.5year so i personally dont have the skills to figure it out. love your videos
Thanks for the awesome comment! Yeah I also love that version of WMGGW, it's just a shame there isn't a version in really good quality. I'm sure he uses a bit of what I've spoke about in this video at times but of course in Am. I would have to have a look at it but as I said, the quality of video and audio isn't the best on it so make I can pick some things out..
Move it up a few and ya basically got waiting for an alibi.lizzy lick....Gary had some crazy hand strength....Great guitarist..met him once and he just ignored me..I said hello to him in Brighton....as I'm a big fan ..and he out right blanked me..odd guy ..but he sure could play
I had to watch this and subscribe..I too am a HUGE Gary Moore fan..recently it's been the "Run For Cover" song I've been hacking at and even "Ready For Love"..there are so many to listen to that are just fantastic it's hard to choose but those 2 songs they seem so simple but when he starts soloing it throws me off...this is an excellent video on Gary Moore style licks..does Gary usually stay in E standard 440 tuning ? Seems like it.
really helpful lesson thank you ... , only wish you turned off the distortion .. it would make it sound easier to hear the notes and also make it sound alot closer to Garys sound .. cheers
This is very reminiscent of how Clapton does his fast pentatonic circular licks. The main difference is that he doesn't really travel through the scale with them, he usually just kind builds up to a climactic flurry or just throws them in to otherwise more conventional pentatonic runs.
