#Straturday - Still got the Calluses
So I asked Mr @andrewmusic for a suggestion of a song or solo to play and he kindly suggested "Still got the Blues" by Gary Moore.
I hadn't heard this track for years but thought I'd give it a listen and a try. It didn't sound too difficult until I started to work it out. Man those bends and that vibrato. Slowing it down you can really feel every note. Needless to say that I decided to do the radio verion solo which goes for a huge total of about 30 seconds. It has the main bendy bit then a fast pentatonic run at the end which starts with a couple of bends on the 20th fret that tore the crap out of my fingers.
I learnt two things from this. Not to underestimate Gary Moore's playing and don't ask Andrew for suggestions.

LOL, still got calluses, LOL x2
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you, well played, nice tone.
GG man, but hurting my feelings, next one was this, XD

Lol. Totally nailed it though. It's a great solo. I think I have only ever dabbled with the first few notes by accident. Will have to give it a bash
Short and sweet. The long version of this track has a longer solo which is just mental. I'd be left with just nubs where my fingers used to be if I tried that one.
Yeah, Nah... Not doing that no mater how hurt your feelings are. 😁
Hadn't heard that song before though. Just amazing.
The price we pay for aiming at the greats!! :0)
You nailed it bro 💪
Thanks man! 😀
Wow that was awesome! You absolutely nailed the solo and as always the tone was just perfect!
I had not listened to that song in a while but you made me want to listen to it again!
