Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways Guitar Lesson (FULL SONG)

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Parisienne Walkways guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of this classic Gary Moore ballad off of his 1979 album, Back On The Streets.

Gary Moore is in full force with this one playing in his trademark soaring slow blues style. In fact, I would say that Gary Moore is definitely one of my favorite soloists of all time. Especially in his more bluesy playing.

From the opening melody, the guitar playing is just stunning. It is a gorgeous melody that follows the underlying chord progression beautifully. It is one of those melodies where, as soon as you hear it for the first time you will never forget it.

For his part, Gary Moore uses a multitude of guitar techniques throughout the song in an effort to alter the dynamics or phrasing of the melody. Within just the short intro solo we have bends, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs. We also have a little rake thrown in there for good measure.

As with just about anything played by Gary Moore, a healthy vibrato on any of the sustained notes can really help this melody sing. This isn't the easiest thing in the world to do especially when you are trying to apply vibrato to a note that is bent into pitch.

I will go through the entire song, including the arpeggiated chord progressions in the order that each section appears on the original recording.

Have fun with this one! #parisiennewalkwaysguitarlesson #garymoore #guitarcovers

Gary Moore is absolutely my favorite guitarist off all time personally. This really got me motivated to grab the guitar right away. Thank you for this one Carl!

in 1985 when I was 15 I got my 1st guitar. I lived next door to this Irish guy in his early 20's. He introduced me to Thin Lizzy and showed me how to play this song. Thank you for posting this lesson! Memory Lane.

A les Paul suits you Carl! You never fail to give us amazing lessons! Thank you so much for the Gary Moore love, thank you so much for all you’ve ever given us, you are the musical gift that keeps on giving! I can’t express this enough that you’ve helped me through a rut of guitar playing, your lessons help me to keep a great practice routine, develop my musical ear and keep me active! Thank you so much Carl, a fan from Wales! :)

Carl, you're the best teacher on YouTube the time you put into showing note for note explaining them in timely manner that's slow is very much appreciated. Thank you for all

[zohebzabir]

I swear you have literally every song I think about learning you really are the best Carl

[Itsemillyyb]

I haven't played a full song on my guitar in years because of my depression. But you really make me want to learn all over again. Thank you :)

[hungrycamperfilms]

Oh man. I can do everything else but those fast parts ( 20:00 ). I've never been fast "licker", and also never learned to use my pinkie, but I took this song as a practise where I force myself to learn to use pinkie, and gain more speed too. I will nail this song, even if it takes two years to nail it properly.
