Soloing Secrets - Gary Moore

Музыка

Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with Gary Moore. I've featured this late-great Irish blues-rock legend in both a Three-For-All and Chordplay episode in the past, but I figured it was finally time to tackle his impressive/inspiring lead guitar style head-on, which is exactly what this lesson contains - so let's dive in!
This lesson focuses on several specific areas of Gary's playing style, and while I could've featured a ton of standard blues-rock licks/phrases from his music, I decided instead to focus on his targeted melodic phrasing over chords and progressions, which is a large portion of what you'll hear in those classic songs/solos from Gary's lengthy and impressive career. We're also hitting lots of melodic phrases, some slick muted scale/arpeggio ideas, a melodic extended bending idea, and much more!
The song-based examples in this lesson were pulled from Gary's early-mid 1980s output, including those timeless albums such as Victims Of The Future, Corridors Of Power, and Run For Cover, to name a few. Some of the licks/phrases in this lesson came from classic Moore songs such as 'Hold On To Love,' 'Out In The Fields,' 'Always Gonna Love You,' 'Once In A Lifetime,' 'Still In Love With You,' and more!
Needless to say, if you're a Gary Moore and/or blues-rock fan, or a player searching for some new approaches to playing over chords and chord progressions, not to mention picking up a slash of tasty licks/ideas from a bonafide electric guitar legend - this lesson is totally for you!

    What makes imho, Gary Moore stand out from all the other great guitar virtuosos of the 80's/90's, is the fact that he could shred but also play traditional Blues, equally great. He could literally play a face-melting solo, the one moment and then go on stage with somebody like B.B. King and play an amazing, improvised Blues jam.

    Dave, it's so refreshing to see you using such superior form. So many players don't realize they have a pinky and overuse ring finger by reaching over to the next fret. I also appreciate that you tend to keep to one finger per fret for efficiency and precision of playing. Great to see you using your pinky for bending on the appropriate fret as well. I always find it disheartening to see YT "teachers" teaching bad form to new players. There's definitely a difference between a guitar player and a guitarist.

    you may see that even player as you have no stable bending while you playing GM ... it's a common issue putting a kind of over vibrato ... GM is bending with second finger which gives him this stability and clear bending ... it's not because of the finger strength, it's because of the angle ... GM is a very complex end to end musician ... it's very difficult to follow him just on musical or just on technical side
