Jimi Hendrix was once asked “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” his alleged answer was “I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.”
So was he right?
I thought It would interesting look at some of his songs and learn how to play them. Then decide.
This first song we will look at the track Moonchild.

Rory live no one can better, simply unforgettable. His energy and performance levels are off the charts, never mind his brilliance on strat.Lucky to see him 3times twice in Belfast and once in London. Lightning in a bottle, sublime!!☘

@GuitarMates Год назад

Sadly I never got a chance to see him live but the performances i have seen where great and his interaction with the audience was something else.

@ayrtonvennkeane9315 Год назад

Lizzy was fairly good too

@jamesoneill7362 Год назад

Everybody has their own opinions of who was or is the best guitarist on the planet. In my life I have seen many very good guitarists but in all honesty nobody came anywhere near Rory. For me it wasn’t just how he played but he had something that I never felt with any other musician/performer and that was how he conveyed his character his generosity and warmth through his music. I had the the extreme luck to have seen the great man 6 times and I think anybody else who saw him would agree that he was just phenomenal.

@GuitarMates Год назад

Hi James I am really enjoying hearing from people who got to see him play live. You have been fortunate enough to actually see him 6 times! Thanks for sharing with us.

@randysalles2292 Год назад

@Sota-son Год назад

I saw them all except Hendrix and you are correct no one comes close to Rory and you're right its not just the licks, the songs ,the skills there is a magnetic aura that is unique to him. The last time I saw him at the Guthrie in Minneapolis i came away with an strange and unshakable feeling that maybe he wasn't actually from this world as most of us know it. like some sort of transcendental angel (for lack of better vocabulary) or something of that nature. It was very palpable magic he just passed his hand over the strings and all this incredible stuff came out it didn't even seem like was doing anything.

@001breeze Год назад

I saw Rory play a few times in the early 80's and 90's. The first time in a small club in Cookstown, N Ireland called Clubland, then the Ulster Hall a couple of times and Dublin. Every single time, and I mean Every.... Single.... Time... it was a mind blowing experience. In fact in all my years of going to concerts only two other guitarists even came close to putting on the same level of magic at a gig. One was Walter Trout and the other Joe Bonamassa, funnily enough both the gigs were in small clubs like my first time with Rory but that passion, honesty, rawness of feel and genuine god given talent is a once in a lifetime event. We'll not see his like again.

Hi Jeremy, Small venues do make for an intimate gig which can bee great for artist like Rory. You was lucky to see Bonamassa in a small venue. Doesn't seem to do many of these now. Thanks for your interesting comments.

I was 7:41 fortunate enough to see Rory a handful of times in the Chicago area back in the seventies. He always put on a fantastic show. He is my favorite guitarist. So much so that I convinced our daughter and son-in-law to name our first grandson Rory. I also like the fact that he never sold out and released a single. He always said that music should be listened to as the entire album. I imagine that he would have been bigger if he had release singles but that didn’t interest him. For Rory, it was all about the music

When Hendrix answered, Rory Gallagher, he was in England for the Isle of Wight festival, which Rory was at, fronting Taste.

Some of us were fortunate enough to discover Rory literally over 50 years ago. To a select few millions of blues rock cognoscenti he was our rock guitar hero - almost demigod were it not for his equally well known down to earth humility. He was the most dynamic live rock performer - blazing guitar style and generously connecting to his audience like possibly no other. Jimi was right

@@GuitarMates “It’s what I do.” I.e., being right 😂 Makes it hard to be very ‘umble - unlike Rory’s reputation - as renowned for being the people’s guitarist (modest to. fault) as well as the guitarists’ guitarist. E.g., Jimi Hendrix, Brian May - huge fan* in fact Rory taught him his first licks after a gig once - and Slash who discovered Rory further into his (Slash’s) career. There’s a RU-vid dudes Forgotten Guitarist channel. When he covered Rory Gallagher he told how first time he heard Rory, he was driving listening to the radio. A few bars in, he straightaway pulled over “… and then, I DIED.”

@@GuitarMates I also had a rare occasion to play Rory as my choice in My Favourite Album’ segment of RNZ National Radio (NZ equivalent of BBC). I code Irish Tour ‘74.

After they played Cradle Rock, the host, Jesse Mulligan said, “Well, that’s got the whole studio crew rocking alright!” I got the opportunity during my 15 minutes of fame (or truly reflected glory) to give a pretty well rounded bio of the man as individual and artist.

“The best” doesn’t exist. But Rory is certainly one of the greats. A Strat never sounded better, before or since…

@GuitarMates Год назад

He did have a great tone with such a limited amount of equipment that was available in those days. There is certainly a lesson to be learned there.

@Dutchluthier Год назад

@@GuitarMates I think we sometimes drown in an overload of possibilities and forget to get the best out of the things we have. Playing a one pickup guitar directly into a 2 knob valve amp improved my technique more than getting more pedals. Instead of tapdancing between sound gadgets and settings, sound nuance had to come from playing. Changing the place where you pick a string (at the neck, at the bridge, in between) the angle of your pick or nails towards the string, how hard you pick, up or down, etc. It often has more tone change than switching between pickups.

However, of the two, I still admire Hendrix the most, for his superhuman innovation, creativity and his studio work.

Rory to me is one of the truely unique blues and rock guitar players. He just presented who he was to the audience and played like the person he was. I often say he is sort of the European Stevie Ray Vaughn, Both visceral and raw players but other than that they appoached blues differently and in their own ways. SRV to me has a lot more of a meat and potatoes early electric blues and rock twist to him very reminsent of his older brother jimmy vaughn but on hyperspeed, Rory to me had more of a irish folk, bluegrass and early rock and roll tint to his playing. As a guitarist you listen to any song from Rory's catalog you always catch something unique and raises an eyebrow that you want to learn and breakdown.

@GuitarMates Год назад

Hi Stratagem271, I do agree with you comments on Rory and SRV. I find it a challenge doing his songs as a lesson because each version of a song you hear is different even the main riff get changed when he played live.

After all, Eric Clapton and Hendrix were both bluesmen but still released music that was considered 'pop' in those days. Pleasing the public, is vital, since its the artist getting their foot in the door, then eventually showing the world what they're about. Either way, tragic loss.

I don't like discussions around "The greatest Guitar Player" because there is no way to measure. If we talk about 110Meter run, at the end one will be the fastest, simple. But what is the benchmark for the best guitar player? Speed? Phrasing? Technique? For me there's one benchmark and that is "sounds good, performs well" and please without too much manilpulation like Autotune and others. When it comes to Rory, he is definitively one of my guitar heros. But it has to be live, then you will rarely find a guy with so much energy, zero rockstar attitude only honest great bluesrock. So, if Jimi ever said this about Rory and you ask me -> CONFIRMED
