Gary was having a meal in the Cultra inn with his family in the booth behind me about a week before he passed away. He gave me a smile when I was leaving.
It was the Wild Frontier album which really got me advancing with guitar (taking it more seriously). After the stadium rock live GM which originally made me stop and listen on a Tommy Vance Friday Rock Show I discovered the melodic and musical side of Gary where his roots shone through. "Over The Hills" caught my ear. You can hear it in Thin Lizzy too. I loved Gary Moore. I saw him play in Manchester with BB King and regret not going to say hello. I thought I'd do that another time. Then he left us.
Great stuff! I’m a big fan of Gary Moore. The Out in the Fields single was one of the first records I bought back in the 80s, when I was maybe nine years old. And I went to see Gary live in 1990 on the Still Got the Blues tour. So good!
Saw Gary open for Krokus/Def Leppard In 1983, when he started playing the beginning of End of the World my mind was blown !!!! Consummate guitarist, gone wayyyy tooo soon!
When I am asked who my favorite guitar player is, I say Gary Moore! He could go from incredibly powerful music to the most sensitive ballad with so much emotion and delicate touch in his playing! He has influenced my playing ever since early Thin Lizzy. Great lesson! Thank you for teaching guitar with musical language terms like note names, chords and intervals.
I first saw Gary Moore in March 1971 in England. I was 14 at the time. He was playing in the Irish band Skid Row. I was only a few feet away from him. It was the kind of gig where relatively unknown bands played so it was all quite intimate.. My mind was totally blown by his playing. At that tender age, I'd never seen anything like it. The whole 3 piece band were on fire. Gay's fretboard was smokin' hot. Brush Shiels on bass.I don't remember the drummer's name.
Every time I start to watch one of your videos I can only make it through the first few minutes before I have to pause and get my guitar! After you demonstrated the VOTF intro, I had to see if I could remember how to play the following heavy parts! Thanks for all you do and making these lessons feel like sitting around trading licks with a buddy 👍
Autumn Leaves, Fly Me To The Moon and, believe it or not, I Will Survive all use the same progression as Parisienne Walkways. Gary was also naturally left handed but chose to play right handed. An absolute beast of a player, easily the finest guitarist that this little island has produced.
Got to see Gary with Thin Lizzy in '78. He tore it up - I had never seen anyone play like that before! Miss him and Phil. Going to look back and see if you have done any episodes on Thin Lizzy.
Gary is my number 1 six-stringer. He played with a fire and passion that was off the charts. From fusion to hard rock to blues, Gary crushed it. He was no one-trick pony. I like to say he played like the ship was going down. Killer tone and superb vibrato. He was just fierce! I was lucky enough to see him twice in his hard rock heyday. On the Victims of The Future tour and one other time. Oh, I do not play guitar. I'm a drummer
1:45 There's a YT video of Gary talking about Ozzy and Randy. Not sure if this was mentioned in the "3 for all" video, but Gary tells a story that Randy loved Parisienne Walkways and paid 'tribute' (sorry) to it into the interlude in Mr Crowley (which is abundantly clear when compared!).
Yet another great lesson. Thank you David. I loved Gary's playing and especially his instrumental music on Back on the Streets and with Cozy Powell. The fire in his playing was just amazing and still floors me today when I listen to it. It sounds from the heart where a lot of the players today are technically fantastic they just miss that bit of emotion Gary would include. You could just feel it. Very special. Keep up the great work David. Your playing and insured are inspiring. Stay safe. Peace and love 🎸
That was brilliant. I’ve been a life long fan of Gary Moore; following him from Thin Lizzy to his extensive solo career. You transcribed those songs beautifully even thought its 23:40 in London right now I’m taking off to grab my Lowden to have a go. Brilliant channel.
Your guy from Vincennes here. I think you are the best on youtube. You are great, smart, and kind bro. Always love checking out your stuff! You should see these new guitar I got! They are FABULOUS!!!
Loved Gary ever since his Thin Lizzy days. This is a great lesson on how to make small changes that create a big difference. George Harrison was also a master at that.
It's great to see you play these up close. I had a DVD with him playing a lot of lead and a full band behind him. Of course the band was doing most of the chords. So this is pretty amazing. I love Gare Moore. I discovered him because Vivian Campbell mentioned him as an influence a lot. A monster musician.
Thanks so much for this! I was looking for a channel that goes through cool chord progressions on guitar. It doesn't get any better than your channel! I love this Chordplay series!
Great Chordplay David. The Loner is one of my favorite Gary Moore songs as well as his Thin Lizzy years. I also love The Boys are Back in Town, because of all the different chord changes throughout the song. They didn't just use just simple power chords. It would have made the song a little dull. This is why I loved the music back in the 80's. The music that was created back then was done professionally. A lot of hard work put into it, to make the music the best for their fans. Keep Rockin' David. \m/
Weird but you playing the chords to VOTF on a nylon-stringed guitar put me in mind of 'Killer of Giants', way before you mentioned Ozzy. A great lesson, btw. I hope one day to be fluent enough in musical knowledge to be able to properly benefit from your wonderful work.
Victims is my all time favorite of Gary's. The title track rocks as do Murder in the Skies, Shapes of Things and the one track that I never hear people mention.....Devil in Her Heart. Great lesson as always!
Really useful! Been trying to learn lots of Gary’s stuff these days. Not only wanna know how to play but also wanna know how Gary wrote things. Thank you!
Great video man. Being European he was one of my earliest influences. You should check his early 70s days with prog band Colisseum. Didn't knew the Ozzy story, how cool is that? Please do a Pat Thrall ( Hughes and Thrall ).
😎 Gary Moore has long been a favorite guitarist of mine between his work with Thin Lizzy, his solo work and that tune, 'Nuclear Attack' he did with Greg Lake. It's interesting although I've noted the cyclical or I had called it 'circular' rhythms in a lot of his picking progressions, I never really thought about it much, let alone thought about consciously making a tool for my use. But, some of the lil' diddies I've concocted over the years do fall into that realm and now have to wonder if just listening so much to Gary's material did influence me more than I had realized despite not having sat down and studied his work with guitar in hand like I did with Page or Lifeson back in my early days. Hmm...?😎
Unfortunately, I did not listen to or appreciate Gary until way late; however, he is one of my all time favorite players! He could play anything but his version of "Still Got The Blues" at Montreux is just Masterful.
Τhe only bad thing with your channel David is that some months ago i was thinking to begin something similar with what you do,and now i must find some other idea...>) Keep the good videos coming....People need videos like this...From a guitarist to guitarists... Im a fan..!!See you..!!!
Hadn`t occured to me before but this ,of course, is also Still in Love With You by Thin Lizzy which Gary had a great deal to do with. From the early days, Nightlife album if I remember correctly
I love Gary Moore. From Gary Moore and Slash is the point I start focusing on learning how to bend rather then shred, because I love the meolodic approach. Please do video on "Spanish Guitar" 👍👍👍
which rock songs other than gary moore used cycle progressions? When using a circle of 5th chord progression means that each chord is a 5th interval apart from each other? a Cycle progression of 5ths is each chord is a 5th interval apart from each other? so what is the difference between a cycle progression and a circle of 5th chord progressions?
In a word, yes. The "cycle of fifths" progression from 'Parisienne Walkways' and a bunch of other songs happens to follow the circle of fifths, but you can cycle through chords using thirds, fourths, or any interval really. Sometimes it might just be 4-5 chords, while other songs can have a really long repeated cycle before it comes around and starts the cycle over again. Other songs that feature this type of progression are common, such as Cat Stevens 'Wild World,' parts of Ozzy's 'Mr. Crowley,' Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive,' and other songs. The Beatles used it a lot too. Good luck and have some fun! : )
Can you make a video lesson on giving examples of cycle progressions from rock songs which rock songs used them to learn from or what rock songs used the circle of 5ths and circle of 4ths chord progression would help to learn from.
Thank you for the lesson, that was really nice and brought back many memories of a lifelong favourite of mine. Staying on the Irish theme...how about delving into the world or RORY GALLAGHER. Cheers from Madrid🎸✌️
When I heard Gary's version of "Shapes Of Things" one morning on my hometown's AOR station, that was the "WTF" moment for me for Gary Moore. "Who the F is this guy?" playing that solo. From that moment on I learned more about him, and Victims O' The Future was the 1st album of his that I bought. Listened to it incessantly in my stupid '79 Datsun 210 wagon on the way and back to community college. Many good memories of that album, and Gary overall.
Yeah, I miss Gary. He had special bond with his fans. His music really involved the listener. Like being the in the same room.
Gary was having a meal in the Cultra inn with his family in the booth behind me about a week before he passed away. He gave me a smile when I was leaving.
Great memory!
Gary Moore is the reason I play guitar. 👍

Then he left us.
Instant like even before watching the video. My single biggest influence, my favorite player. Dearly missed.
I miss Gary also!
Shape of Things is one of my all time favorite rock guitar solos!
Thank you David! Mr. Moore is on my Mt. Rushmore and I appreciate the spotlight you've given him.
Great stuff! I’m a big fan of Gary Moore. The Out in the Fields single was one of the first records I bought back in the 80s, when I was maybe nine years old. And I went to see Gary live in 1990 on the Still Got the Blues tour. So good!

Gary Moore is my all time favorite guitar hero!
Love Gary Moore saw him multiple times live from the corridor of power to his blues era just an unbelievable guitar player
Correct same here sad loss brilliant player
Gary Moore. ☺️Many thanks again Dave another brilliant late night lesson.. 🎸 🇬🇧👍. Such a talented man...🎸

Thanks for another special lesson.
The sound of those chords resonating on those nylon strings supercharges the soul with an immense amount of sorrow, thoughts and chills.
Every time I start to watch one of your videos I can only make it through the first few minutes before I have to pause and get my guitar!

Huge influence . Victims of the future. Corridors of power. On an on
Corridors
Gary forever!!!! Thanks for this video
Excellent lesson. Thanks, David.

Moore is a complex artist. I didn't realize this side of him, being so focused on his lead work. Thanks for this!
Thanks for shedding light on some of what made Gary Moore’s compositions so beautiful. What a player he was. Gosh I wish he was still here with us.
Really enjoyed this lesson. Very pleasant 👍
Love watching your uploads.
Great time with this video and Gary in my heart...Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for doing Gary Dave!!
Great episode. I enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks David. Subbed.
Cool seeing you here, love your backing tracks.
Thanks Dave this is my favorite less than I've ever watched... Gary moore is my favorite.
One of my early shreddy influences. Corridors of Power & Victims of the Future were huge too me! 🍺’ski awesome as always!🤘
Excellent lesson. Your teaching style and approach are a valuable addition to my continuing music education. Be well.
I completely overlooked Gary Moore and I’m so glad you corrected that. Great content, as always. You have a gift for teaching
Awesome video. Please keep up the good work.
This was the lesson I have been waiting for! Mega like!
Wow that has to be the most magical lesson I've had from you I never paid attention or nothing bye bye
Great choice! Cheers.

You are a great teacher. Thank you!

Another gem of a video. Never get tired of listening to and learning from your videos.

Yet another great lesson. Thank you David. I loved Gary's playing and especially his instrumental music on Back on the Streets and with Cozy Powell.

...insight, not insured....
True that LP really blew me away ,still sounds wild ,today,just 100% no essing ,and not overly distorted

Thank you Dave

RIP GARY MOORE
RIP Gary
Yes, an amazing guitarist amazing body of work and he could sing!
Gary Moore an amazing player. You can see where still got the blues came from! Parisienne walkways?
super video, tanx man, the parisian walkways progression sounds like a song from Regina Spektor's genius next door
Hadn`t occured to me before but this ,of course, is also Still in Love With You by Thin Lizzy which Gary had a great deal to do with. From the early days, Nightlife album if I remember correctly
I love Gary Moore. From Gary Moore and Slash is the point I start focusing on learning how to bend rather then shred, because I love the meolodic approach.
Please do video on "Spanish Guitar" 👍👍👍
Groovy! More Alex Skolnick please ;)
TY......Well Done
Loved this. Gary is a huge inspiration towards my playing for sure. I'd love to see a few videos based round Joe Perry 😁

Gary was such a great guitar player and I can't believe he turned Ozzy down and especially considering that
Cool 😎
I just subscribed to your channel..I really like it.

WOW great memories Steve!
Any way we can get a tab or picture of the cord shapes in this lesson? Thanks and great lesson !
Hi David love your videos, quick question do you have the same blocking problems that Rick Beato has ?
Nice lesson, rarely see Gary's chord work mentioned.
His interest of Gary and Michael was before he even knew of Randy..l believe..
Victims of the Future
More Ian Thornley please. ;)
I really enjoy your videos. Any chance on doing a video about Cheap Trick in the future?
Hi Dave, love your videos. Why don't you do something on Glenn Tipton? I think he's a total genius ;-)
Great lesson! Gary Moore was an early influence of mine. Ever consider doing a Chordplay or Three Licks from Carlos Cavaso?
Really enjoy your channel channel. Please increase your audio volume!!!
so at 8:00 this cycle you are playing is cycling 4th's ?
Nice one Dave,now cover Rory Gallagher's and Peter Green's stuff!! 😉
Luv me sum brewster.moore Brewster!!!!
