#Straturday - Still got the Calluses

So I asked Mr @andrewmusic for a suggestion of a song or solo to play and he kindly suggested "Still got the Blues" by Gary Moore.

I hadn't heard this track for years but thought I'd give it a listen and a try. It didn't sound too difficult until I started to work it out. Man those bends and that vibrato. Slowing it down you can really feel every note. Needless to say that I decided to do the radio verion solo which goes for a huge total of about 30 seconds. It has the main bendy bit then a fast pentatonic run at the end which starts with a couple of bends on the 20th fret that tore the crap out of my fingers.

I learnt two things from this. Not to underestimate Gary Moore's playing and don't ask Andrew for suggestions.
