AudunESP30th July 2007sorry if i overheard it but, what scales was this based upon? would be cool to know so i could try to use it in my own improvisations.
JVM30th July 2007awesome, you nailed the gary moore tone david! my favorites are Parisienne and still in love with you.
- David OToole30th July 2007
Hi AudunESP
The scale used to solo on this progression is an A Minor, apart from when it goes into the chromatic run.
Notes: a b c d e f g (I've added a tab pic of the scale notes on the vid 1 text). 
Travelin' Man30th July 2007David...Im over in the states, and I love his style. I especially enjoy his song..Still Got The Blues...damn thatts a great song
- David OToole30th July 2007
Thanx JVM, yeh I absolutely adore 'Still in Love With You' along with the 2 mentioned above of course.
Actually my fave version of 'Still in ... ' is from the lad's 'Nightlife' album. This version is nowhere near as well known as the live ones. And it is played by none other than yup you've guessed it ... Mr. Gary Moore. Perhaps you know it?
I've got a very early demo version of that song somewhere with Moore on it and it's even got different lyrics - sounds weird.
Some serious guitar work on it. If I dig it out I'll try get it to you if you like but that could be a bit in the future (long story don't ask.

Hi all.
Well this is a little lesson on a great Irish guitar player, Gary Moore. Moore is huge in Europe but I don't think he's as well known in the states as far as I know.
This lesson is aimed at his Rocky/Blues style and features a couple of his typical runs and bends. He mixes the Bluesy type and Rock bends very well. He's a real emotional style of player with a flair for high speed theatrics! A rare enough combination I reckon.
Over the years he's covered Blues, Rock, Heavy, 80s Power Ballads, Rock-Blues and probably a few others too. He's also hit the charts a few times over the decades, and probably two of his best known tunes would be Parisienne Walkways and Still Got the Blues - two faves of my own I have to say, and absolutely brilliant to play live and let rip.
Actually I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago at a gig. I was playing in a Blues-Rock band at the time, and our drummer was Brian Downey from the great Thin Lizzy. Moore came to see Brian one night at one of our gigs because he was in Dublin that night. He even got up later and done a few numbers and we had a late night session after the gig. A great experience it was and the hangover was pretty happening next day :).
But how and ever here we are looking at a slow Rock ballad and putting on a few Bluesy bends, Chromatic licks and whatever else fits the bill.
Hope you enjoy the lesson and pick up some useful stuff from it - cheerz,
David.
