- LockSmithDon15th March 2009
  Totally agree with all of the positive comments above. You really captured the emotion we expect from Mr. Moore. I can tell that once I get these licks under my fingers, I'm REALLY going to enjoy playing them. The vibrato, the tone, just perfect. It would be awesome for you to do more lessons in this style - especially if you enjoy it as much as it sounds like you do.
- Ivan Milenkovic15th March 2009
  Thank you so kindly mate! I will do something similar for sure!

  I'm really glad that you like my lesson. Your words are very important to me. I'll try to do a Mr. Moore lesson in the future. Ivan also promised, as you can see
- Bluezone30th March 2009
  sorry new member here, but is there a way to download the backing tracks to record over? I know there are probably instructions somewhere but I can't find them..Great lesson btw...
- Alexiaden9318th April 2009
  This is absolutely amazing, Piotr !
  
  I couldn't help hearing some similarities with "The Loner", am I right ? It's actually the only song by Gary Moore I know entirely, so that would be a pleasant coincidence...
  
  Well done !
- MigeZ3rd May 2009
  Awsome I love the whole thing. Got to go learn cya
- lad19th May 2009
  Piotr,

  Thanks,

  Thank you, mates!
  If you want baking tracks, just let me know via my forum profile
- NoSkill10th June 2009
  Piotr! Man! This is an amazing solo and lesson. It has so many wonderful elements to work on and the mix with the backing track is so emotional in it's playing. This is a piece to work on and master. Really amazing. This is one of the best demonstrations of the pure necessity of feel over raw shred speed. Congratulations!
- Piotr Kaczor12th June 2009
  Wow! Man! It's a really huge compliment! Thank You!
- Fusion6th July 2009

Hi all! Welcome to my Ballad & Blues lesson in the style of Gary Moore. I know that there were many great lessons in this style on GMC, but I couldn't stop to make one.

Gary Moore is the one of my favourite guitarists. His playing is very emotional, full of great vibrato and beautiful melodies - just amazing!

Lesson is set up in 2 parts:

First (ballad) part, time signature is 4/4,
Second (blues) part, time signature is 6/8

I used mostly A minor scale with some blue notes in second part.

chord progression in
-ballad part:
Am, Dm/B, E, Am(Am/G), Fmaj7, Dm/B, E, Am
Am, Dm/B, E, Am(Am/G), D/F#, G, E, Am
Dm7, Dm7/G, Cmaj7, D/F#
Fmaj7, G

-blues part:
Am,------Fmaj7, E7#9, E7b9

We are going to use:

- vibrato,
- alternate picking,
- Gary Moore style licks

This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:

Amp: 1990 Brit J800 Drive 7 - Bass 5 - Middle 7 - Treble 6 - Presence 5
Cab: 4x12 1978 Brit Celest T-75s
Com: Threshold 10 - Gain 12
Dly: Delay Time - 60 (8th note) - Mix 30%
Rev: Medium Hall - 45%

The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing tracks included.

Have fun!

Piotr
