stormy monday backing track gary moore

[clapton4962]

g minor me thinks

[fredschreffler]

Yea baby, I dig it.....Joseph

[tcarreke]

Hey, can you email me this track?..

[V00D00Strat]

All I know is that it sounds cool if you noodle a loose Red House over top of it!! That, and a pic with Gary and his Les Paul would've been better, but please take no offense!! The track is F%&%#ng great!! Thank you ;)

[IncorpMusic]

it sounds great in G minor and D minor both

[back2backband1]

Seriously not a better picture of gary moore?

[jazzgtrplayer]

It's a G Blues.... it's G dominant... you can play a Bb as a blue note, but the first chord is G B D F

[av8tooling]

RIP Gary we love you

[Fer666esp]

RIP from spain, enjoy playing....

[Sn4pDr4gon]

Seriously...play a Gmin7 over this. Although the E min 7 works great it doesn't have enough "blue" notes in it to make this thing really cook. Of course the progression starts with a 1-4-5but then it makes a cool transition to Amin7(Think dorian) than to Bmin7(think dorian again) to a Bbmin7b5 (Bb diminished works awesome) out to the 5 (D7) than to the (Eb7). A great example in how to handle this progression can be found on Danny Gattons "88 Elmira St" recording on a track called"BluesNewburg".

[THETrundell]

@Sn4pDr4gon, G minor definately but ur right about E minor, just doesnt pop. i tried playing in F and that seemed to sound okay tho

[Detoxx23]

@Sn4pDr4gon ..thx

[chinablows]

excellent! Nice long jam in G pentatonic works for me and my southern kin!

[bulldog999]

the key for a solo is G !!!!!

[rayman5839]

no, G miner..

[matronmalice]

solo in "G minor" pentonic. The song is in the key of "G".

[karatescottie123]

sorry but people who tell you to completely forget scales, chords, etc, really DON'T know what their talking about when it comes to learning to play. Eric Clapton, B.B King, Eric Johnson etc are as good as they are because they PRACTICED. sure you have to feel it but think of it this way, if your buildin a house without blueprints its not gonna stand up very long. so learn your scales chords and progressions, then feel it out. don't be afraid to mess up just keep the toes tapin learn what to do

[giub81]

who fuckin cares bout scales, just play with yo heart bros, just like bluesmen did back in the days

[itowedin]

There will always be an audience and respect for that. Be open to those who want to advance beyond the obvious.

[AnthemicPolemic]

@giub81 You obviously havent played for longer than a week, if at all, as that is just pretentious bullshit. Artistry is about blood sweat and tears both in the sincerity of what you express and the tehniques needed to express those things effectively.

[trunks577]

great track, i posted a video response to this track of me playing, you should check it out. thank you

[Musicfiend222]

Hey all I just posted up the first video response to this track...please take a listen and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

And for the posting of the backing track...thank you sir, this was a fun one.

[marioksher]

awesome tune

allman s brothers vesion sounds great too

[sparkster65]

guys,guys, calm down, appropriate scales for this song are g major pentatonic and g mixolydian as well as g minor pentatonic and g dorian, there are others especially over the turnaround(diminished,etc...), cool thing on this one is try arpeggiating the turnaround, to get ya started g major pentatonic and g mixolydian will work best over the g chord, g minor pentatonic and g dorian will work best over the c chord, have fun..........................

[tractorlad1]

saw gary moore live in april he was rubbish and the way he talks to fans . he is just a twat

[Castoc1]

He looks like Susan Boyle

[mccaber7]

OMG he totally does! that's awesome.

[christopher321]

slightly cuter

[stevecherm]

i see what you mean lol.

[MrStinger70]

@Castoc1

Nah but you're mom sure does:)

[johncartelli]

@Castoc1... he is one of the best guitarists in the world....but not the best looking true...SB?...hahahah funny

[lodaddy]

just play the blues in g you bunch of overthinking dickheads. do you thing bb king is thinking all that crap when he plays. go back to music school and leave the blues to the cats that payed thier dues.

[chucknorrispranks]

paid*

[briwill99]

@lodaddy Of course BB isnt thinking about it, cause he has already thought about it and practiced it so much it is second nature. However any of us mere mortals must practice the hell out of learning theory and scales that we too may have the fredom to just play and not think about it so much.

Santana once said something to the effect that one must become a total slave to theory in order to gain the freedom to express yourself outside of it. But I guess you think Carlos is an overthinking dhead

[lodaddy]

@briwill99 I thought I replied once but I dont see it. I have posted a video. Carlos never said anything like that. he doesnt read music or know about theory. This song is in G! Eminor is the relative minor of G. Which means , if you start a g scale on E and end on E it will be an e minor scale. Because they both have 1 sharp and that if F sharp. On the turnaround, a good musician will follow the changes while a avg. (nothing wrong with that) one will stay in the key of G.

[briwill99]

@lodaddy Actually Carlos Santana did say that. Not sure if he can read music or not as that is not relavent. Not sure what your point is on relative minor. What you are saying is true, but not different than my comment, "E minor pentatonic has the same notes as G major pentatonic".

What do you mean follow the changes?

[ivanezgeta1911]

stupid people

[brownbigb]

this song is in g major, but the scale to play over it is the g minor pentatonic. that's the blues. the g major scale will sound funny. so will e minor. jeez.....

[6stringRslingR]

Not if you do it right. This song is full of chord changes to play over, and if tastefully done, you can work in tons of scales. My favorite ones are G minor and major pentatonics, but I'll occasionally go into the C natural scale (mixolydian mode) to round out the sound. You should try it.  Lots of fun!

[parisianUK]

G major sounds okay in places for a warmer feel, good for ending on

[SRVandPez]

Keys and scales are different... a key is A,B,C,D,E,F and G, and they come with sharp, 1 octave higher, and flat, 1 octave lower. Scales can have minor, major, dom, or lots others. The scale u use has dif roots but same fingering in minor and major, you just adjust the position of the scale so that the roots fall in place with the key Ex: Minor A pentatonic has A root on 5th fret 6th string, and major has the same, but the root is moved, so scale is same finger pattern but on 2nd fret (1st pos)

[brownbigb]

where did you learn dude? go and get your money back

[punkrockerdudebro]

i agree completely that was probably the worst demonstration of music theory i've ever heard

[jephbailey]

okey dokey. Did everybody get that?

[4fingersinge]

Very well done. Gratzi.

[Luca2352]

Why don't you people shut the fuck up and just play your guitar!

[pyromaniac789789]

this is in G...

[ddavis510]

only its not ABB its Tbone Walker

[Smoothways]

great track - only it is not from Gary Moore but Allman Brothers.

[chrisacres]

No its actually a t-bone walker song..

[SupaBionicSonic]

Actually, I just posted a comment that said E minor and G are the same key. They are, but this song is not in that key. It's in G minor. Just use the G pentatonic scale and everything is clean.

[JamesSig]

It's great finding these fantastic backing tracks on YouTube!!! I didn't think of YouTube as a place to find backing tracks, but Boy, was I wrong... Great work and thank you!! Fantastic!

Jim

[swervmerv1]

thanks alot ! I needed this track

[flardacracker]

Thanks..

[Tymeglobe]

you will find its in the key of "G"

[richardwbass]

it would be great to know what key this track is in, for us beginners thx.

[tiagolascas]

Eminor

[allguitar55]

also try G

[SupaBionicSonic]

E minor and G are the same key

[StopTheMoti0n]

nuh uuh really? if that is tru i feel like an idiot now o.O

[ThankGodForCountry]

E minor is the relative minor to the g major scale.

[gaelicbanshee]

You are correct, sir!

[mitchpsychedelic]

@tiagolascas this is in g minor

[briwill99]

@tiagolascas E minor pentatonic has the same notes as G major pentatonic. Imo both G major and minor pentatonic work well.

I Dont like G minor pentatonic so much over the minor chords played just before the turnaround. I have to select my notes carefully there. Any suggestuins from anyone more knowledgeable than me?

[Blantocholix]

@tiagolascas I think G minor could be better :)

[Jim72344]

Who?

Sounds like G to me, unless my guitar is really out of tune.

[rknrne]

@tiagolascas...12 bar blues in G ...in the style of T-Bone Walker & The Allman Brothers ...

Listen to the chords... G7 C9 G G# G C G Am Bm Bbm Dm9(xx7555) Cm/Eb(x6554x) G C G DAug

You obviously never recorded this BT .... It 'IS' in the Key of G major

it's a great track ... (Emin, Gmin...NOT)

[MrHazard001]

@tiagolascas It is in Gmag. it has a Ddim and some minor chords thrown in for good measure

[fendstratz1050]

@tiagolascas try B



[cavensben]

@tiagolascas I think it is G minor blues

[aaronbrakefield]

@tiagolascas it's in g minor..

[saron380]

@richardwbass G

It's in G

[jake95284abc]

@richardwbass hi this song i think is in the key of G so you can play a penatonic scale startin with G

[psychoactivepaper]

@richardwbass G blues scale will work great over it, just watch for any clashing tones depending what chord you're on ^.^

[jazzguitar2010]

@richardwbass Play an E pentatonic over it.

[jazzguitar2010]

@richardwbass Play an E minor pentatonic over it.

[khalisjalil]

@richardwbass or G minor... I dunno, sounds nice in G minor and major (which is relative to the E minor)

[98hog]

@richardwbass its in key of "G" take care

[NickMass35]

@richardwbass Actually it's G minor. Playing E minor would make it G major. I think.

[NickMass35]

@richardwbass Actually it's G minor. Playing E minor would make it G major. I think. You can switch between the 2. Finding the right time is the trick as I'm still working on that.

[GASMan1957]

@richardwbass It's in G. I'm jamming with it in a G minor pentatonic using the 3rd fret as my base position.

[lennerb]

@richardwbass Its in Gm not Em

[swingmanu]

@lennerb This is the blues!!! You (can and often do) play the minor pentatonic against the first major chord, although you could play the major pentatonic too. The blues played on the major pentatonic sounds dull and boring and sounds like playing the chords. You could play the(major) myxolydian scale too

[RandomSpevv]

@swingmanu I played the pentatonic scale on my stool stabber and blasted sperm shrapnel all over the strings of my guitar. That night club never asked me back again but i got a standing ovation from the fucking faggot in the first row. FUCK!

[swingmanu]

@RandomSpevv if you're gonna play the minor pentatonic and nothing else, you're not worth being engaged... learn more tricks(major penta and myxolydian, change keys and tempos), play soft, play heavy, go slow, make it fast, sing some!!!!

[swingmanu]

@RandomSpevv excellent!!!!! There had to be someone interested in you, and your dick, as soon as you stopped playing...Somebody who thinks guitar players suck!!!

[ryan401]

this is great.....KEEP THE BLUES COMMIN

[tiagolascas]

i'll post more...

thank you!
