- Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Rory Gallagher Licks From 1975.
I noticed an outpour of requests to feature Rory over the last several months and another flood of requests filtered through after some recent videos that were posted to the channel, so I decided it was finally time to take a look at some tasteful phrases and expressive ideas from this late-great Irish blues-rock pioneer and legend of the guitar.
This lesson focuses on a number of ideas that came from live footage during his 1975 performance at the Montreaux Jazz Festival and catches him in fine form and blistering the fretboard on every song. Rory's band was on fire and it's a great concert to watch if you haven't seen this footage of him before.
The licks/ideas shared here include some aggressive blues-rock phrases with Rory's signature energy, conviction, and bite. From well-timed blues phrases, expressive raked picking, extended double-stops ideas, flashy pull-off moves, and much more.
Rory's music and ideas were packed with raw energy, expression, and feel. These are the same nuggets of inspiration/information that you'll gain from this lesson. Give this episode a view, leave some comments and feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!

He caught me and my pal touching his old strat from just off the riser when he came back to get it after he was done, about 1972?, and instead of being pissed off sat down with us and let me play it unplugged; the action was really high but he said he'd got so used to it if he played anything lower he slid over the top of a string when he tried to bend it - he was such a lovely friendly unpretentious bloke, I treasure that moment. We lose Rory and get to keep Prince Andrew.
I've found looking at lots of pro players guitars at hard rock in vegas and different places around, compared to my guitars, most play with high action.
I've not seen any of the shredders guitars, to compare.
Remember Alan Murphy? I thought he was brilliant. I never forgot the time I sat and watched him play at a Fender roadshow as a demonstrator. Just incredible what he was doing and after it had finished I spoke to him and he offered me his guitar to play. The action was SO high I couldn't believe it and couldn't do anything on it. I asked how do you play it like that?! The reply...'you get used to it'... righto.
I do remember Alan Murphy, I didn't know that about his guitar but I heard Go West and wow, couldn't grasp what I was hearing till I actually saw him work his whammy bar live - another class act way above the usual pentatonic cliche. I read Larry Carlton's action is high too. I just remembered Rory G also said: he got way more sustain with it high so I said, joking, turn the amp flat out and he said it already was but anyway it's not the same. Of course, he's right but I need all the help I can get.
Awesome story, love him even more now.
Rory is finally starting to gain the respect that has been long over due . Thanks Much for this .
Ιn Europe Rory is a guitar God since early 80's
In the US, it took RUclips to really break Rory into a new generation. There isn't another classic artist that has benefitted more from the social media age than Rory.
@@misterknightowlandco True but as Kostas just mentioned Rory Gallagher was a legend in Europe and the UK massive following the from the late 1960s until he had to stop touring because of liver problems and misdiagnosis, which ultimately killed him alcohol like drugs has taken too many legends !
The video the internet was invented for. Thanks David 🇮🇪👍🤘👏👏👏
Dave had the great pleasure of being at one of Rory's gigs in the 80s awesome Blues player and a very talented and great human being in Ireland we had Gallagher Moore and Eric bell
so Rory and Gary RIP and Eric keep playing
Saw Rory many times and he was never short of being amazing, he was also a decent human being which is rare in the music biz.
Always loved Rory ,such a humble guy,no BS,just straight on the money ,I saw him play in the U.K.,and was entranced,looked around some way through the gig,and everyone was stood up ,silent ,like hypnotised ,never seen a gig like it,he played ,virtually non stop,for more than two hours,acoustic ,slide and his LP tracks,altering his tunings ,during songs,then back again,one gig ,I feel priviledged to have seen him ,before his premature demise, a special artist,jeans a checked shirt,no gimmicks ,a trio,but what a night.
MY favourite guitarist, And my pfp on youtube. The great blues guitarist Rory Gallagher.
Yes! Finally.
saw rory 1972 at a small venue in Ludwigsburg, germany. not many people there. But those who were learnt a lot that night. I did...unique talent. One of my true guitar heros. very humble. just interested in his music. no bullshit...rip Rory....
Rory Rules Respect to this channel. Dave true guitar player
As warm-up act Rory Gallagher blew Rod Stewart off stage 1971 at Cameron Indoor Auditorium (Dook) Guitar mastery blew me away! Can’t recall much of Rod’s set.
Great lesson..Rory was an incredible player!😎👍
Yeah...just to mention Rory turned out Rolling Stones and as well The Cream after Calpton went.He was playing also bass, mandolin, saxophone, sitar, harmonica, banjo, dulcimer and dobro.He won his first guitar competition at the age of 12 and with that reward he bought his first electric guitar.Well,the rest is history :-) He was also a faithful owner of hardest working Stratocasters in history of music.That guitar was some magic guitar :-) Long Live Rory Gallagher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, thanks for the Rory licks! He deserves every accolade he gets. Now how about one for Alvin Lee!!
Yes!!! Classic Rock Blues Shred
YES! Alvin Lee- I may post a few myself! Marvelous!
Yes Alvin Lee! Another one of my favorite guitarists!
If I didn't love your channel enough you go and do one of my heroes. The Celtic Hendrix. Proud to be Irish because of him.
Rory is one of my earliest influences, such a wonderful player, sorely missed!
Rory's Worn Sunburst 1961 Fender Strat (Serial Number 64351)! Period!
6:49 instant Gallagher!
I just asked you for some instruction for Rory Gallagher and here it is! Thanks, David!!
Rory could turn on the excitement in the audience especially in smaller venues when he would let the fans get up close enough to touch that famous Strat and as you say it was all raw energy. Jimi once said in an interview, when asked how does it feel to be the greatest guitarist?, " I don't know, why don't you ask Rory Gallagher?". I don't think there will ever be a greatest guitarist, all the legendary ones and some lesser known ones are great and it's all a mater of TASTE. Thanks for another great vid David.
While I believe Rory was the greatest of rock guitar players, to be fair, Jimi also said the same about Jeff Beck, Roy Buchanan and a couple of other great guitar players . Like Rory, he too was a humble man.
Since I suck I have to slow most lessons down 50% on the RUclips player. This is the only channel where the guy's voice doesn't turn into a demon...... You just sound like a chill really stoned dude at that speed lol On a serious note, these live performances are goldmines and his band doesn't get enough credit. The bassist is just a beast. Montreaux 79 Shadow Play for instance is basically the same riff forever and he never loses his drive or enthusiasm- McAvoy is almost like a huge Rory fan who jumped on the stage enjoying the show while just happening to be hammering a bass the whole time too
Finally delivered? You always deliver, man! I saw Rory Gallagher open for Rush back in 1980-something. I was barely out of high school, had no idea who he was ... boy, did he own the stage. Him and that beat-up Strat!
Thanks. I saw that tour but back then ,no internet. No way of checking who was who playing where. And a lot of time. You could nt hear introductions. Or they had heavy accents. Plus crowd noise.
Im a simple man, I see Rory!! I like!
Thanks so much for this David, For me Rory is the best ever!!
I got to see Rory in Oakland . He opened for Jethro Tull . Another great show. Great lesson again Dave ! Very informative as always . Thank you.
Thank you for doing video, I love Rory Gallagher and I hope this will get more people to discover his music
You are a fountain of knowledge.
I saw him play at the Orlando sports stadium in 75. He played that iconic Strat but only played a couple of tunes, to many acts booked. Caught a lot of good shows at that venue.
Most underated forgotten player of all time! SO fun to watch play!
Rory is one of my all time favourites, thank you for the video! I was lucky enough to see him once in London - what a night.
I look forward to part 2, 3 and 4 of your Rory lesson 😃☘️
Awesome as always! I never seem to get sick of Rory's music. He was full of energy on stage. McAvoy is a beast on bass also. Really tight band in general. One of those bands that was far better live than in the studio IMO. Thanks for the lesson!
I've been waiting for this one! Thanks
A guitar buddy turned me on to RG in about 1973. As I vaguely recall, we were very impressed with his playing and especially loved his tore up Strat. Great memories. Couldn't cop his licks then, still can't. So cool that you can. Thanks. Love this channel.
I heard him live 4 times. You are right about the energy. I don't think I've come across another guitarist who injected as much into his playing!
Thank you! Really love Rory's songwriting, voice and feel. Has a big influence on me as a fellow guitarist. His first album is somehow special to me and I fall apart was the first thing to really make a spark with me, but when it did,... oh boy! :)
🍺’ski I feel we’re doing a disservice by not having a Dickie Betts 3 for all. Wrote some of the most melodic riffs / solos & used modal playing also. Your channel rules!🤘
That double stop lick is really cool. It could even be used as a main riff in a song.
zackvanhalen true! He used that type of like quite a lot in his solos.
He does. Check out "Bad Penny", the "Stagestruck" live version, its an awesome riff.
In the first clip of him whipping the guitar it looks like he came pretty close to that mic stand.
@Michael Newell Which is probably why that guitar looked like that
Lick number number two sounds a lot like a variance of the famous "Bad Penny" lick. Except that is in D. Love Rory, and this lesson too. Thanks!
Exactly, on the Stagestruck live version, the studio version no double stop though.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate this.
Thanks so much Dave for this lesson on our country's greatest guitar player !
Thank you a lot for doing the Rory Gallagher licks. I discovered Rory probably around 2004. I heard bad Penny and after that song I dove in. He is probably one of my favorite guitar players of all time.
Awesome Lesson Dave! More Rory Gallagher
I am so pleased that you have made this video. Being an ardent Rory Fan since the early 70’s - I first saw Rory in 1973 at the Southend Kursaal England, UK, when I was 17. Very sadly I went to his last London show in October 1992. I have lost count of the number of his gigs in between. I strongly feel that some of his magical years were form the mid 70’s. I think it’s great that his legacy is being recognised today. Your choice of licks capture the brilliance of the man and you have done an excellent delivery here of some of his unique style. Cheers form the UK….
I saw Rory open for Rush in the eighties. I didn’t really become a real fan until the early nineties.
Thank you for doing this.
You are cool. A joy to watch as I am a 5 Rory songs per day fanatic.
crushed it again! your vibrato is just killer-
A guitar great...died way toooo young!!🥺😭
Thanks for this Dave, you picked some good links to show case Rory's style. A legend.
Thank you from a grateful Scotsman ⚔️ 🏴 ⚔️ who tries very hard to play like Rory every little tip or techniques he used I find I'm grateful for Dave. I admire your playing its wicked 💫🌠✨.
as an Irishman and guitarist i loved this, i went looking for Rory licks and this was the first video i clicked on, great job.
Brilliant. One of my favourite players. thanks
Awesome, I hope you're having a good day. 🎸
No,i don't play the guitar that way, i grab the guitar and i hit it....
That's how Rory played,SRV,Van Hallen,that's how Hendrix played....
THATS IT GUYS.....END OF TODAYS LESSON....
You know it's serious when the guitarist is plugged in with a telephone cable and bell bottoms.
Nice licks
Wonderful Video Demonstration! Love it ❤
Encore! More please 🙏 🤘🏻
things about RG that struck me as a listener/non-player: speed-muted solo (e.g. end playout 'Hot Coals' on Irish Tour; live versions of 'Take What I Want') that I didn't hear again til hearing Al DiMeola; some early jazzy riffs ('there's a light'; Taste 'it's happened before') that I didn't hear again til hearing jazz; and re. the ton of blues/rock riffs: c.'72, ZZ Top supported RG (when ZZ had hits, RG supported them: Rory had no "hit songs") and RG labeled Billy G. fellow traveller re. really understanding blues style
Yes!!! Check out Bad Penny and What in the World! Rory was a master at the art of using the 'touch sensitivity' of the amp to express himself. Thanks and +1 for Alvin Lee - The Bluest Blues is killer (George Harrison on slide!)
Great stuff David. Thanks.
I really like your videos. I find it amazing how you have such deep appreciation for so many and vastly different players. You really communicate love and enthusiasm and your lessons go the core of each player you cover. And your friendly demeanor and humility are downright inspiring. Thank you so much.
Best lessons on the Internet surprised it hasn’t caught on even more great lessons brother
Cool pick collection.
Thanks for this. Love Rory. Also his acoustic stuff like pistol slapper blues.
Great licks man...I saw Rory 13 times (6 of them with Taste)...I lived through the best years...I subbed and hope to see some more great licks....Cheers man! 🎸🎸
I've just bought Gallagher live at Montreux DVDs and it's fab was only five quid too 🇨🇮
Fantastic! You should make a Rory Gallagher guitar course. You would be a very rich man.
Man, thank you for this.
Thanks from Ireland
thanks Dave, this was your best one yet.
Thanks David! Great to see you doing a video on Rory!!!
Great coverage of Rory
Thanks for the Rory licks!
Great Content and delivery!
Thank You!
Thank You!
I was hoping for this one, too, David! Thanks!!!!!
Great lesson man! Rory was amazing!! Thanks 🎸🎸👍
Great lesson on those licks keep em coming!
Awesome freakin video Dave
gotta' love Rory , , , thanks!
Thank you for this one.
I just discovered your channel about a week ago. Very good work. Many people give their suggestions so here's one of mine - Peter Green.
Thanks for doing Rory🤘
Thank you! You jumped on this fast
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Awesome lesson!!!!!!
RORY !!!!!!
❤🎸🤟🍻
Good stuff, love Rory saw him many times.
Rory is a beast!
In the Irish language the h in Gallagher makes the g silent. If you asked Rory his name he would never use the g. If you are prepared to spend hours learning his music then 5 minutes learning his name would be a feather in your cap. Love your channel and your playing. One of the best out there. 🤘 Peace
Some Clapton licks from the 60’s would be awesome!
Nice I learned this 30 years ago
Great! The most famous raking lick I know is Gilmour's solo on Another Brick II.
Hurrah!! Well done Mr B!! Love the electric blues stuff especially on ' Whistle Test', but I dribble into my sound hole when I hear ' Out on the western plain' and ' Leaving town blues'..... No wonder the Stones wanted him....
Always been a fan of Rory. How about a lick series of Dean DeLeo. Thanks
Thank you Dave for yet another exceptional video. Rory was an amazing player and entertainer. Please, please put Johnny Winter under your microscope!
Right before the lock down I started working with a new bass player. He suggested a tune called Do you read me. Really cool tune. I don't really play like him however, He is certainly worth a look at. I saw him open a show in Providence RI in the 70's and Everyone was ( who's this guy) so I have tried to capture the vibe. Keep up the good lessons David.
Yeah, you definitely delivered.
Funny you brought up the RUclips showboats oops, "Teachers" with this light approach. I've noticed now why my power chords and attack sound more fuller, and better. Well that's why!
Violence is sometimes ok😬👍
Thanks B🐓!!
I have to play lightly and employ serious economy of motion technique, because I struggle with returning chronic thumb tendonitis in either or both wrists. But that doesn't mean others shouldn't dig in while they play!
Actually, my power chords sound kind of huge when I pick them lightly (with less pitch dip or fretting hand sharping occurring).
Skümmtööns '66 as a beginner guitar player , this channel has been a huge influence on me in that aspect . I am really happy with the change it has produced in my playing . Thanks Dave ! 👍🎸
@@voronOsphere heavy with the pick hand light with the fretting hand. 🍻
@@misterknightowlandco I get tendonitis in both wrists, so I gotta stay light with the picking hand, too. Doesn't mean I don't dig in with my picking hand sometimes. I just tend to sound more Black Sabbathy and not at all like Stevie Ray Vaughan. And also, the lighter the attack on the power chord, the bigger the sustain.
The second lick was pretty clever. I like it.👍
You were describing Rory's energy and it made me think of Clarence Gatemouth. Anyway though his style is less rock than you usually talk about. Though had that enthusiasm
I play as lightly as possible, because I live on the edge of chronic Tendonitis (since I was 25 years old). It takes very little for it to flare up. I have to be constantly vigilant for the signs of a returning flare-up.
I have to approach drums and guitar hitting both with a lighter touch, but when I hear play back of me on guitar and especially drums, it doesn't really sound delicate at all. Maybe my guitar-style is a little laid back for metal (not necessarily for rock), but I just made it part of my style.
I certainly don't mind other players digging in and hitting it hard, though!!!!
I hear ya Man.
I deal with tendonitis as well occasionally, And though I still beat my guitars pretty aggressively there's A LOT to be said of playing softly and letting your chords and notes "bloom" as Tim Pierce or Tom Bukovac would say...
