Saw Rory many times, the great thing was that when he came on stage he made everyone smile. His enthusiasm was infectious. Sadly missed.
Oh Lord Fil of Henley, this is one of the bravest things you’ve ever done! When I was a young warthog, my rock trio attempted quite a few Rory songs - Railway and Gun, Used to Be, Bought and Sold, I wonder Who, Hands Off, Tattooed Lady and others. Even when he was barely in his 20s, he was so many light years ahead of me - and most people - that my feeble efforts were more of an attempt to alert (then) a fairly indifferent world to St Rory of Gallagher. The nearest we ever got was “Follow Me,” but by Top Priority, RG was so world-class that I gave up!!🤣🤣
The first time I saw Rory in 1968, he began his set with Taste (almost completely known), he said, “We’d like to play a little tune here by Buddy Guy that I hope you’ll like, First Time I met the Blues, hope you like it, thanks very much,” and then struck a straight D major 2nd-fret D, and off he went.... as it was almost illegal in the Blues Fraternity to play anything other than a 9th or double-7th, this in itself was unusual. Eric Kitteringham and Norman Damery weren’t the best players, but the song just lifted the roof with his extraordinary harmonies, semi-tone Celtic runs and Coltraney riffs, some of which you mention here.
Jimi had played the night before and had one of his badly “off” nights. The barely-billed Taste didn’t - the entire crowd was gasping with disbelief.
The next 37 times I saw him play were all just as good: I’m not sure if he ever played a “bad” gig.
Fil, perhaps a few folk who hear this will realise just what a musician was RG. Thank you very much.😁
hey Fil - love your stuff and the joy & respect you have for musicians. and you always appreciate Rory. so here is one of my favourite memories of Rory. back in early 90’s I saw Rory play at the Bataclan (i think) in Paris on his Fresh Evidence tour. smallish crowd in fact, Rory came out all gun’s blazin with his « harder » rock blues to get the crowd going, then suddenly the electricity went out - completely - legend has it Rory blew all the fuses when he turned up his Strat. Rory took it in his stride. he grabbed his acoustic (Martin?) sat on the edge of stage and invited the audience to move closer and shut up - and he almost played a full set « camp fire style » before eventually the lights came back up. fabulous artist. still miss him. cheers fil
What a legend. R.I.P. Rory.
I was lucky enough to see Rory in Schaumburg Illinois , around 1979 or 1980. We took my Ford Pinto and four guys from Michigan City. I still do not know how we got home.
Great show. Rory was indeed one of the greatest. I still listen to him.
I feel lucky to have lived my youth during Rory's times, have seen him in person... , and just miss him so much. Thanks a million for this tribute class.
I like how you dont shy from getting into details. Rory was a virtuoso and you paid him a very nice tribute here. Your in depth analysis really moved me. Thank you so much for what you do on youtube.
Rory would have loved Fil. Gentlemen always get on.
Rory G the master, one of the best to ever play a guitar, absolute genius. Lucky to see him 3 times live, lightning in a bottle, so much energy,mesmerising his touch and feel were off the charts. Sublime ☘
Keep doing what you do Fil. Rory is gone but his music lives on. you rock.
Watching you breaking down the intricate details of a great player is inspiring !
One of my favorite riffs ever! Rory was a brilliant performer in all regards. Probably the most underappreciated guitarist ever.

Excellent - and courageous - choice of his songs your trio had on your gig set list.
Saw him open for Rush around 82. Amazing!
Love it when you cover anything Rory. A great analysis as usual. Thanks Fil!
I saw Rory three times. Even though he sounds great on these live recordings, they never capture his tone and dynamics well, they're like looking a black and white photo of a rainbow. He was phenomenal live.
I was lucky enough to see Rory 5 times. I do agree that his sound was never captured, after watching Rory play it was just sheer amazement the whole night and into the next day. I miss him.
Rory is one of my favourites. So incredibly talented. You did a great job presenting his sound. Excellent job Fil.
God I miss Rory. Very talented fil
Thank you dear for show Rory's work, I love him very much ❤️
Rory is magical . thanks professor
I had never heard of Rory Gallagher until I saw him open for Deep Purple in 1973. He blew the lid off the place. Was so good we booed Fleetwood Mac off the stage and demanded he come back out for another encore. To be fair this was the low point of FM with Bob Welsh and minus the late great Danny Kirwin, so they being in between Rory and Deep Purple just didn't work for the audience. But man what a force of nature that man was. Good memories.
That was a terrible period for FM. Loved Danny Kirwan !!! ( and Rory)
@@denises8956 not when Danny was a part of them. Kiln House, Future Games, and Bare Trees are three of the most criminally underrated lp's in rock history and I GUARANTEE that had Danny Kirwin still been with them, booing them that night would NOT have happened. No matter how good Rory(and Ritchie Blackmore)was.
PS: I heard our venue wasn't the only place this occured. Evidently, this happened quite frequently on that tour.
Cool!! The look at Rory Gallagher with Donal Logue is such a favorite! Dig right in!
Nice one Fil, I saw your previous Rory intro video and loved it. Glad you went back to the guitar legend with passion! In all fairness to you Fil Rory would approve! Slainte.
When it comes to articulation, Fils unmatched. He's always able to find the words.
So true. I just watched Fil's very first guitar analysis of Nick Jonas and Fil's presentation delivery has become very polished and smooth since he began 3 years ago. He is now unfailingly precise with his narrative.
I know, isn’t this true. It’s enjoyable listening to him.
Absolutely right Pat
RORY!!! Awesome guy!!! Thanks, Fil!
Yes favourite
Possibly the one big regret of life is not being able to see Rory Live. He was one of the three guitarists that started my guitar journey back in 1972. Thank you Fil for a great analysis video of the great man 👍👍👍.
My favorite. Rory. And Boy do I love Bad Penny. Thanks for this one, Fil. You are excellent, too.
Thanks!
This is a great instructional video analysis of Rory's performance. And yes, you can play guitar on stage anywhere, with anyone, you are that good. VERY good. Rory's Ok too😄👍🎸
Thanks!
@@wingsofpegasus You are awesome Fil. You're a joy to watch
A terrific effort
Well done sir
Rory will be looking down with a smile
All of your demonstrations and explanation on guitar and vocals help give a better appreciation toward all artists regardless of genres. thanks Fil
My favorite Rory song...of which there are several dozen. 🙂 thank you Fil for helping to keep his memory alive.
Thank you so much for your posts. Unlike many others, you actually take the time to respond to comments in a very timely manner. Also, your playing is superb!
Thanks!
Another wonderful Rory analysis, Fil! While I don't play, I'm always gaining musical knowledge by watching you. Love your Check Shirt Wizard tee-shirt, btw! Looking forward to your next Rory video, whenever that will be. Cheers!
Thanks for this and you did an admirable job. Rory is one of my favorite guitartists. There was always an emotional bond between his band and his audience. He loved his music, they loved Rory, it was magical. And as Brian May said, the most important thing Rory taught him was not to be a dick.
A superb meal can always be complimented with the right dessert-- analysis taken to the next level when you add in your interpretation of Rory's genius. Thank you Fil for this tasty treat \m/
Tours-de-force, Rory and you! Thankyou Fil!
Hearing/seeing Taste live at Isle of Wight is what made me buy a guitar, Rory is one of the best to ever lay his hands on a fretboard!
Great analysis Fil. I am not a musician, but a music lover. What I find really interesting is that your technical breakdown is pointing out all the subtle nuances that make the performance so enjoyable. I know I like Rory's playing and I am in awe of the technical skill, but videos like this help explain to me why I like it. I completely agree with your statement about the little things being thrown in that convey a feeling at that moment as oppose to just repeating a memorized solo. It is why I think there are some artists like Rory that are just at their best when performing live (Carlos Santana and Gary Moore to name a few others ). I think you said this best in the Santana "Europa" analysis video when you talked about the artist wanting you to feel something in the note being played.
Oh goodness Fil! This is fantastic 👍
All he used was a Vox AC30, Arbiter Rangemaster and a Strat ! And wham what amazing tone!!! you nailed it Fil!
That's why I always say Hendrix made his sound with pedals and amp, but rory made his with just the guitar
Brilliant analysis of a brilliant guitarist, thank you Fil. 👍🏻☘️
His best album: Irish tour '74: the guitar will burn out your ears !!
Saw rory live at baboa park in 1975, he was fantastic.
Rory Gallagher was one of the greatest. Folk hero
Way cool demo Fil on the great Rory Gallagher! Undoubtedly one of the greatest guitarists ever to grace the instrument! Totally enjoyed this...thank you so much! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘
Thanks Mario!
Now your talking Phil
Rory was a superb guitarist and a marvellous musician overall
A hero to Brian may and slash to name a few keep up the good work
Fil you are one Classy fella,We so appreciate your content! Cheers Bro, a Super amazing job.👍🏻
Thanks!
ANOTHER GREAT analysis video! You are on a winning streak! Thank you , Fil, for a decade's worth of information in less than 30 minutes!
In response to your title--I don't know, Fil, I think you do a beautiful version of the parts you isolate. In my book, you're second to none.
Thanks!
You should definitely do a video of yourself trying to play like Willie Nelson does with “Trigger”! A lot of us fans cannot wait until you write and perform an old country style song finally! Great video Fil:)
I'm a fan of Rory Gallagher. He is a very unique guitarist from Ireland. Rory is a multi-instrumental talent, and singer/songwriter. Even guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page admire Rory Gallagher. In fact, when Mick Taylor left the Rolling Stones, Rory Gallagher was the first consideration as a replacement. Rory Gallagher declined. Rory Gallagher was also considered as a replacement for Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Rory Gallagher again declined. Roger Glover, the bassist for Deep Purple, did produce some of Rory Gallagher's music. Thanks for sharing this great analysis video. May Rory Gallagher rest in peace. Cheers, Fil!
Well said, Dwayne! ☘️
ty heaps for this Fil always enjoyed Rorys live work just a seriously gifted and much admired musician.this is a fantastic insight into some of the tech skills that were on offer when he was on stage, well done to you
It must be very pleasurable to analyse this great guitar playing, it sure is for us!
I grew up with Rory playing in my home town of Liverpool, but unfortunately I never saw him live. I knew the name but never knew what his music was really like. All these years later I’ve “ found” him on RUclips…wow what a guitarist..even his singi..some of his playing and singing sound like Hendrix. The sounds he gets out of his guitar are phenomenal. I’d go as far as to say he’s my favourite along with Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen and Hendrix.
From what I’ve read of hm, Rory started off listening to a lot of country blues, and playing acoustic, before graduating to his famous Strat. That may be why his stuff always sounded like it was in a direct line going back to the Delta. He wasn’t the fastest or showiest, but he sure was the bluesiest. He gave the term “black Irish” new meaning. And for my money he was just as good on acoustic. Check out the Leadbelly tune “Out on the Western Plain.” He plays it in a vaguely Bert Jansch style, even better than Jansch could.
I worked my way through school tending bar in O’Connell’s Pub, one of St. Louis’ most famous literary bars. One night Rory and the boys came in after a gig, and parked themselves at the bar. Rory downed four Guinness and Powers boilermakers, and he could still walk a straight line. That takes practice. And a word of warning. Don’t ever get a bunch of Irishmen talking about politics after they’ve had a few. You’ll never shut them up.
Rock on!
Wow thanks. Unfortunately that's what did Rory in with his liver.
@@lawrencetaylor4101 Yup..sad.
A simple chord progession, pentathonic solo but so powerful. Waiting for Million Miles Away
Yesss! Million Miles Irish Tour 74'
Wow!! Out of this world solo.
A pinnacle on it's own
So unlike all other solo's I listen to
(SRV, JLHooker, CCR, Santana, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc.)
Yes please do a million miles away irish tour 74, loved this video, I’ve been trying to learn this by ear so your video has helped me with a few tricky bits! Thanks a million!!
Great analysis Fil. Really liking your demonstration/explanation approach to these guitar masters, especially where you are not allowed to show actual performances. Please don't decry your efforts in trying to show us how it's done. The best example of Rory playing, entertaining and connecting with his audience has got to be his live appearance at Montreux 1979 "Shadow Play". Brilliant rhythm section. Rory on fire. Just stunning! You can't help but smile. Well worth a look. Thanks again Fil. Stay safe and well.
Brilliant breakdown of this fantastic song, thank you for taking the time to do this !
Rory is the best!!! ❤ I love your T - shirt, Fil! 😊😊😊
Fil, seen most of your videos over the piece, by far this is my favourite as Rory is my favourite performer, you've got his technique down to a tee young man, very well done. Another recommendation from me is from WHITESNAKE and two marvellous guitarists Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody the track is "Trouble" their first big hit, there is a fantastic video of this from the whistle test on utube. Keep safe kid and cheerio from Glasgow.
I had honestly never heard Rory Gallagher before. Even though I don't play guitar, I love listening to your breakdowns because they help me understand why the techniques are so difficult and that's what makes these artists great. Fil, your knowledge and ability to communicate this is why those who play and someone like me who doesn't get so much out of your analysis. Rock! 🥰🤘
Hi Beth , did you go and listen to the Song?
@@drummingearth5326 I did. I always do when Fil is doing an analysis and can't show it on the channel because it would get blocked. Otherwise I wouldn't get much out of it, would I? 😉
Thanks Fil - great video. Never too much love for Rory!
Thank you Fil!
You did a great job. You obviously respect Rory as much as we love him. New subscriber here. Your fans from Croatia!
Thanks!
Rory and Terry Kath my top two of all times !!!
I've been a Rory fan since the 70s, and you sound pretty damn close, Fil.
Thanks!
RORY WAS, IS THE GREATEST. I’ve ‘STUDIED ‘ EVERYTHING about him. To me, NOBODY TOUCHES HIM. His versatility & virtuosity are absolutely AMAZING. I miss ya MATE. You will ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST TO ME. 🎸💚👑☘️💞🥇🏆
Did you know that Hendrix was interviewed and asked..” what’s it like being considered the world’s best guitarist.”… Hendrix replied..” you better ask Rory Gallagher “.
Named my first son after Rory! Great video and so well explained, those pre bends tormented the beejeesus out of me in the 70s when all we had was the record and trying to keep repeating a passage by dropping the needle constantly and trying quickly to replicate what Rory was doing and rinse/repeat...and still screw it up! 🤣
Thanks for the memory ❤️
Fil ,you can literally fill in for anyone. Who would be your “ Dream Stand In “ ? If you could choose. That’s almost an impossible choice isn’t it lol.
Rory remains my all time fave. If you ever have a chance to check out his "I could have had religion" from the Beat Club sessions, you will be taken to church. Oh, he plays the entire song, simultaneously trying to tune his guitar. Epic.
Well done! 🖤🤘🏽
Thank you
Great job Fil. Thank you for the detail on his technique, it really helps amateurs like me appreciate what a top player is.
Great stuff! Something similar with his solo on Shadow Play in Lorient 1994 and Follow me from Belfast 1984 would be wonderful!
Don't forget his other little trick, his thumbnail on his right hand was quite long, so the the string got hit twice at times, instantly.
Rory is one of the most underrated guitarists to strike a chord. He loved the art, as personified in each note he rendered.
Again this "underrated" BS, with some folks want to prove their "expertise". Rory Gallagher, one of the best guitarists of all times, sold over 30 million records. Is that underrated?? Besides the millions of fans he had and still has.
@@lotharwilhelm
Why so triggered by an opinion many hold to be true? You need to check that - bad for the bp.
Some years ago on his website I read that Rory would practice licks for maybe four hours every morning. That’s why he was always came up with new licks, and seldom got stuck repeating himself playing “signature licks.”
Don't think Rory Gallagher is "underrated". More like "under appreciated".
@@lotharwilhelm The lack of self-awareness in your comment is the stuff of which classic parody is made of. Next time you type out a comment for the sole purpose of being an elitist gatekeeper on what is "underrated" you should reread it before you send it because the hypocrisy you display here is absolutely hysterical. Hopefully next time the original commenter will consult you on the parameters of your rating system so that you aren't offended and hurt.
Kudos to Fil for doing a good job at analyzing and playing like one of the best ever - Rory Gallagher!
Thanks!
Brilliant stuff from Phil here finding all the little bits Rory does
Wow a man who can pronounce Rory's name correctly..thank you !!!
I was thinking the same. Literally the only non Irish person to pronounce Gallagher correctly. 😚
Silent second G in Gallagher.
Great stuff Fil. Great analysis of a great player by a great teacher who is also a great player.
Thanks!
Love ya Fil ! Great tone BTW
You know I love this,,, Thanks so much...
Great artist♥️
Always super interesting and informative videos. Saw Rory at the Taste farewell concert in the Ulster Hall in Belfast, so I’m old but still a fan!!
This is a great video for learning.
Saved! To play like Rory it takes a certain controlled aggression and lots of controlled energy once you got that techinical. A kind of supreme confidence due to experience.The man performed a whole lot for a long time. Performing is the key really. You know? Hes my favorite performer. He was best live where as Bob Dylan was a master in the studio….. my two favorites of all my time. I do have others! I LOVE a great performamce! Who doesnt ha ha?
Rory rarely played the same thing twice - so if you learn a solo off his record, it would be unlikely you see him play that same thing live. I liked that a lot about Rory :)
Exactly that's what a lot of people liked him for, he could play any of his songs on electric, acoustic, mandolin or whatever he was a musical genius..👍🎸😎
Rory we love you forever ☘☘☘
Athens Greece 1981💙🇬🇷🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤
Totally underestimated star of the start, an absolute genius, decent human being and kind man
Nice analysis. Keep them up!
Rory Gallagher was one of my favorite guitarists and inspiration since I first heard of him back in the 60's. One thing however, I never heard anyone pronounce his last name with a silent "g". Is this a thing? It's always been Gal-lah-gurr as far as any of us old rockers know.
It's definitely a silent 'G' 🙂
It's an Irish thing...☘️
@@wingsofpegasus Yes, similar to tagliatelli - silent 'G'...
Great Song❤
FIL, you can't be a self-respected player/teacher/god with less than 8 strats behind you! Rory's music contains so much energy, texture, brilliance and the hightest level of musicianship I've ever heard anywhere that not even the passing of half a century can dull its impact - nothing like him before or since, he's a stand-alone, the STONEHENGE of Rock! He didn't just play the guitar, he made love to it - and his Strat obviously loved him back!
He was a analogic player, what makes him a MONSTER, because it's way more difficult, but your class is realy realy helpful man! God bless you, thanks a lot!
Allegedly when asked how does it feel to be the world's greatest guitarist, Hendrix replied " I dunno. Ask Rory Gallagher"
Very cool thanks 👍👍✌🤘
Fil.
You have a genius at explaining music.
Get into Bullfrog Blues or Crest of A Wave.
PS: Oops. Please Fil.
Nah he picked a belting track already.
@@drummingearth5326 ruclips.net/video/Am3UWbtcuIg/видео.html
New 50th anniversary edition of his first album is great!
Thanks ! ROCK💯🎸
TALISMAN..MYSTERIOUS.
That's it Thank you Fil ❤
Love this , great version.👍
Rory Gallagher was the Bruce Lee of Strings
So whats that make SRV? Please...many here need to include 'MO' in their comments
@@plantfeeder6677 that makes Stevie another Top performing Cat.
One is from US of A and the other Is Irish.
@@drummingearth5326 no it makes him Chuck Norris. Come on man.
@@plantfeeder6677
Yes, indeed - love it!
@@plantfeeder6677 nope, bruce. srv was chuck
We saw rory b4 a rush concert 198-sumtin..he was high energy for his 30 minute gig. I should sue him for hearing loss.
