@phantomhelm Hey I found it - Thanks! What an original, cool tune. I mean, how much better can it get than that.

@BCRSIX Try putting King of Zydeco - Rory Gallagher in the youtube search
-
@1958marky Haha I see what you mean. Type in "Johnny Winter Be careful with a fool", the bass player looks so much like Blackmore!
-
@MedeaTor John Squire comes to mind, his playing is so subtle it's unreal. Listen to MAde of stone

I haven't found it on YouTube, but I heard a recording once where Rory played a Zydeco tune - sounded just like he was born in a Louisianna swamp. He could play anything!

This is a great "guitar hero" pic of Rory at 3:10 -- put the man in black clothes and you've got Ritchie Blackmore, hands down!

My favorite of the older Rory tunes.
Appreciating today how, even in easy songs, Rory Gallagher rarely resorted to strumming his way through. His style always seemed to max out a chord or scale. Makes most other guitarists seem lazy,--especially power chorders. Yes, you can hit a chord hard, but can you massage that puppy like Rory? Ring the bell when you can!

Even Hendrix said ask Rory! When asked what's it like to be the best guitarist on the planet! ;)
