tulk1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have an interesting story (to me anyway) about that video. A former drummer of mine, we're still very good buds, but he is a name brand snob. If it isn't G or F he's not interested. I'd been telling him about my Heritage guitars and headed over there with my 535. I walk in and he's playing GM youtube vids. He brings this one up with a comment about the "real tone" of an LP. So after seeing the opening bits and some close ups I'm going ... so you really like that? His reply is something like "h*ll yeah!" to which I get to say, "He's playing a Heritage H150 GM sig model, you know". To which he replied, ".........................................." That's a nice, clear vid right there, too. Coolness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentrocks Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 ...is that a Schaller tailpiece and roller bridge I see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngwie308 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yes it has the stock Schaller hardware, a P.J.Marx pickup in the neck and an EMG 81 in the bridge. I think Heritage went with dual EMG 81's because the P.J.Marx are very obscure and low volume manufacture. Yes it's true play it to a G guy and they will say killer Les Paul, and you can laugh and say, not only is it not a LP, but has active pickups!! lol. The Heritage as we all know, has that extra bite, that edge over a traditional LP, especially the GM Signature models, they will tear the head off any Gibson of similar spec, just a monster rock guitar!! yngwie308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacques Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 The only thing I don't like about this version (and many of Moore's renditions): he is too much in a hurry...like, let's get it over with as soon as possible. The guitar gets no time to really sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar gets no time to really sound. I'm with Jacques on this one. I mean I really like GM, but he needs to slow it down a little, use about a 1/3 less gain, and as Yoslate says "I hope he finds that note he is looking for when he plays!"

I mean I really like GM, but he needs to slow it down a little, use about a 1/3 less gain, and as Yoslate says "I hope he finds that note he is looking for when he plays!" +1 on that. I always wondered why he has everything set on "stun" all the time. He's tough for me to watch too, his guitar face makes him look like he's giving birth or passing a kidney stone (or both) even when he's just tuning up. Here's another good clip with a different guitar. Nice tone though. Notice at the beginning he realizes that the amp is not on 10 and adjusts accordingly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXYjEMTQRm0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Gary Moore plays Gary Moore. He plays with an intensity and urgency that he obviously feels. If he slowed down, reduced gain or what ever everyone else suggested maybe he would end up sounding like just another boring old blues fart. I have most of his cd's from Thin Lizzy on and he can slow down and play beautiful clean lines. But I like him best when hes digging in deep and pouring it out. Its just raw blues. ymmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just raw blues. ymmv I agree Tully, I could post You Tube clips from eras 1984-2000, where Gary employs light and shade and many times with no gain, the Blues For Greeny CD and VHS tape, I have it converted to DVD, as I have with all of Gary's videos, and a different Gary Moore emerges. Gary has moore than proven he doesn't need gain to produce great tone, it's just he does it so much better than most others. He certainly doesn't need gain to cover up his playing. I will admit the opening three tunes from the 1990 Montreux Jazz Festival video, are performed in somewhat of a hurried fashion. Gary's "All Your Love, I Miss Loving" version is certainly moore uptempo than the original EC and Bluesbreakers version. Also his "The Stumble" is considerably faster than Peter Green's or Freddy Kings original version! I think he was somewhat nervous at the beginning of this show. The actual clips of Gary playing a Heritage are somewhat limited, so we have what we have. As a long time Gary Moore fan, one has to tune out his guitar faces, he subconsciously does it, but when Gary plays he give 101% so give him a break. Of all the players of the tween generation, influenced by Jeff Beck, Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, ect., I think Gary Moore is the most accomplished. Gary was one of George Harrison's favorite guitarists, so that is high enough praise for me... yngwie308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I am not knockin' GM at all. I just personally like when he slows down a little. HE was incredible with Thin Lizzy, "Still Got the Blues" CD, and maybe his best on "Blues for Greeny". And I agree that I think he gets so caught up in the moment, so into it, and giving so much for the song... that sometimes he over plays. Not to flashy impress, but because he is so into it. I would give anything to play like him, but if I was giving him advice as a fan.... it would be to relax and groove a little. To quote John Hiatt who was quoting Barry White.. "If you don't go slow, you got no show!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
