The Prophet - Gary Moore Cover - Sam Coulson

One of my favourite Gary Moore tunes. His phrasing and bending are incredible. Hope you like my try at it.

I used my warmoth strat with bare knuckle pickups cobra single coil set and FU2 floyd rose into the Line 6 Helix on my JCM800 patch.

Back to the Blues is the thirteenth solo studio album by Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released in 2001. As implied by its title, it saw Moore return to the electric blues music with which he had found fame since 1990, after two more experimental albums. The cover photograph is of Moore at Therapia Lane Tram Depot, Croydon

Robert William Gary Moore (4 April 1952 – 6 February 2011) was a Northern Irish musician and songwriter. Over the course of his career he played in various groups and performed an eclectic range of music including blues, hard rock, heavy metal, and jazz fusion.

Influenced by Peter Green and Eric Clapton, Moore began his career in the late 1960s when he joined Skid Row, with whom he released two albums. After Moore left the group he joined Thin Lizzy, featuring his former Skid Row bandmate and frequent collaborator Phil Lynott. Moore began his solo career in the 1970s and achieved major success with 1978's "Parisienne Walkways", which is considered his signature song. During the 1980s, Moore transitioned into playing hard rock and heavy metal with varying degrees of international success. In 1990, he returnd to his roots with Still Got the Blues, which became the most successful album of his career. Moore continued to release new music throughout his later career, collaborating with other artists from time to time. Moore died on 6 February 2011 from a heart attack while on holiday in Spain.

Moore was often described as a virtuoso and has been cited as an influence by many other guitar players. He was voted one of the greatest guitarists of all time on respective lists by Total Guitar and Louder. Irish singer-songwriter Bob Geldof said that "without question, [Moore] was one of the great Irish bluesmen".[1] For most of his career, Moore was heavily associated with Peter Green's famed 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar. Later he was honoured by Gibson and Fender with several signature model guitars.

I like this old school super strats (large CBS style headstock, unrouted FR trem, 22 frets). I don't know what brand it is, maybe Warmoth.
Great playing, great sound. Congrats.

Excelente, un blues lleno de lirismo y sentimiento. Gracias...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (¿Por que se le cambió de nombre a este tema en años posteriores en las ediciones de Moore...?).
