Found this while roaming around on youtube. Gary does a smashing version of Jimi's Red House. Great fender tone!!

Awesome, that is how a strat should sound - The reason I took up the guitar, bought a Fiesta Red rosewood necked strat in the 80s and ultimately gave up in frustration was Gary Moore.
-
i prefer his les paul tone, but that is pretty marvellous. i wonder what amps hes using.
-
if you want to hear more of that magnificent strat tone rocking out, get the Scars album! not that well known, but really rather good. one of the rockier albums Gary's done since he got the blues :wink:
-
Yeah, I think that Scars has kinda brought Gary back to where I want him to be. He frustrates the hell out of me sometimes - I first got into him back in the 80s when he brought out Wild Frontier, my fav album of all time. Then I dug back, and loved pretty much everything he made. But I never really got the blues thing - Still Got The Blues was a fantastic album, but I kinda wish that he had left it at that. Having all that talent and fire in your fingers and NOT burning up the fretboard? That's a shame!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the blues, and Gary plays it well. He can just do so much more...
-
I like the playing but the tone has too much gain!

That's kinda always been his 'thing' really.
Even in his earlier Blues days, he played a rockier version of Blues stuff, but with more of a Rock tone. Nothing like the tone you'd expect a 'traditional' Blues player to use.
-
Yeah I like his Les Paul tone, it's well nice, but the Strat seems to bring more background noise into it when it has all that gain on it. I like the core tone of it though.

Les Paul...Gary Moore....and a cracking song

Much prefer when it changes into the original- thats a cracking song!

Gary normally uses Marshall, exactly which model is unknown to me. I would harzard a guess it might be a jcm perhaps.
trademark Moore tone, but you can hear the tone of the Strat too. Sounds great.
But I prefer the original Hendrix version:

I have the DVD and sound quality is a lot better.
-
it's a marshall dsl he's playing.. nothing special.

I always liked Gary playing when he played with Phil Lynott myself.

Here he is playing with Albert King:

The first part IS the original.. Gary Moore wrote that song and just gave it to Phil for Thin Lizzy.
GM is an amazing blues player, don't much care for his shred stuff though.
As for amps he uses Soldano SLOs, Marshall DSLs and for recording his latest album he used an Orange Tiny Terror on some songs.
-
I here that he's playing in leicester this summer, for anyone that's interested. I'll be there for anyone that wants to meet by a bar tent.
My mate's plaing too :D
-
It would be nice if Gary would come back to the USA for some shows.
-
This thread has sent me Gary Moore crazy... I can't stop listening to him since this went up. (similar previously happened when Feline mentioned Queen)
Funny but when I saw him at Wembley supporting Whitesnake on the Scars tour I just couldn't really care much. Strange it just doesn't carry over in a big arena?
Pleasant but not sublime...
On DVD it's another case entirely... F**k me it's brilliant.
BTW: I wish learning to play guitar in the standard way despite being left handed made us sound in anyway similar.. it doesn't!! :cry: :cry:

I linked that a while ago aswell - Superb video.
One of my faves videos on Youtube - I remember getting it with a Guitar Techniques DVD a while back.

I was there for that gig - do you remember Gary turning to someone in the audience and saying: "You can f*ck off", and then turning to Cass on bass and saying "...and so can you!"?
I've wondered what that was about for years...
I thought he was pretty cool on that gig. Didn't much care for Whitesnake that night to be honest. I'd seen them years before at Donnington, with Vai and Vandenberg on geetar!!! Oh my word! Arse was kicked that night...

Sir Bump, my most honourable friend, I too was at said concert having one's posterior offended in 1990...
(just noticed that some might infer "backdoor banditry" occurred from my oblique comment, please be assured only aural pleasure was indulged in by Sir Dave..)
eg:I was at Donnington too and love it! Thunder were great as well.

I think "Don't Believe A Word" is one of the most perfect songs ever written. It's utter genius.
Did you see this 1976 version? It's a bit of a mess to be honest, but it's only got Cozy $%&#in' Powell on drums! :o :o And check out the shoes:

When and where is this? I may be interested if its when I'm still at uni.
-
I'm fairly sure it's at the De Montford. Not sure of the date, I'll let you know when I find out.
You're at Leicester Uni ain't ya? Made it down to Stoney Cove for a beer yet? It's good when the sun comes out.
-
I'm at De Montfort uni, I have no idea where Stoney Cove is :lol: The only places we really drink at are my mates house, The Quay, Polar Bear, Varsity, Mosh and Soar Point. Oh and Bishops Blaise very occasionally, because its fairly shite in there but sometimes cheap :P
-
Check out The Musician
And get your arse down to Stoney Cove while it's sunny. Leave Leicester past Fosse Park and hang a right at Sapcote.

I've wondered what that was about for years...
I was at St. Georges Hall , Bradford - when an adoring fan shouted " GAZZA ! " - and Gary Moore just shouted back ( without any sense of humour or gratitude ) " Can't you even get my Fookin name right ?! "
It just brought the atmosphere down for the rest of the night. As influential as G.M. has been to me in the past, what is his problem ?
