Still Got The Blues - Outro Solo

"Still Got The Blues" is a signature blues rock track by Irish guitarist Gary Moore, widely recognized for its emotionally charged guitar work and melodic depth. The outro solo is one of the most celebrated passages in modern blues guitar, featuring expressive string bends, vibrato, and lyrical phrasing. Learning this solo gives electric guitarists a masterclass in conveying feeling through tone and technique rather than speed alone.

  • The outro solo is a go-to study piece for developing expressive vibrato and slow, controlled string bending on electric guitar.
  • Gary Moore was known for blending rock power with traditional blues sensitivity, making this solo accessible yet deeply musical.
  • The track is frequently recommended for intermediate to advanced players looking to refine their blues phrasing and dynamic control.

Gary Moore wielded Fender Stratocasters for his cleaner blues tones, using their glassy single-coil bite to contrast with his Les Paul's fat sustain. The thin, articulate voice let him deliver expressive rhythm work and cutting lead lines without the compressed warmth of humbuckers.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Moore's iconic 'Greeny' Gibson Les Paul Standard with its reversed neck pickup magnet became his signature, delivering dynamic PAF humbucker tone that bloomed into singing sustain when pushed through cranked Marshalls. This guitar defined his ability to achieve violin-like feedback and endless note decay.

The Gibson Les Paul Custom gave Moore additional options beyond 'Greeny', with standard PAF-style humbuckers in the 7.5–8.5k ohm range providing enough output to drive his Marshalls into natural power-tube saturation without ceramic pickup compression. This guitar delivered the fat, singing tone central to his hard rock era.

Marshall JCM800

The Marshall JCM800 became Moore's modern workhorse, cranked loud enough to achieve that singing, violin-like sustain where controlled feedback allowed notes to bloom endlessly. The amp's natural power-tube saturation created rich harmonic overtones essential to his fluid, sustaining lead style.

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)

Gary Moore's early Marshall 1959 Super Lead Plexis were run at volume to generate natural harmonic saturation and responsive, singing sustain that defined his blues-rock foundation. The amp's sensitivity to picking dynamics let his fingers shape tone as much as the guitar itself.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Moore deployed the Dunlop Cry Baby Wah for expressive, soulful lead passages that added vocal-like character to his soaring solos. Though a key tool in his arsenal, it served as seasoning to his core tone rather than the foundation of his sound.
