Gary Moore - Style

Gary Moore is known for his dexterity, but also for his passionate guitar playing. Still Got the Blues' will have made many a person shed a tear.

Besides his technical improvisations, he was also able to play and write rock-solid riffs. The same album, 'Still Got the Blues' from 1990, also contains the song 'Texas Strut'. This song is a figurehead of the concept that you have to have a knack for writing a ripping riff.

Exercise

For this riff we only need one guitar chord, an A chord or a power chord of A. You can take it with one finger by laying your index finger flat. In this way you have your middle finger free to bend the third fret on the E and A string. You don't have to perform a full bend on it. A bend that nicely transitions from the G (the third fret on the E string) to the A (the loose A string in the powerchord) via the G# (the note where you bend the G on the third fret on the E string slightly) is what you need.
