Gary Moore - The Loner (guitar cover by Elmo Karjalainen)

Gary Moore is the reason I started playing guitar properly. I heard his solo on the live version of Shapes of Things, and it totally blew me away. I wanted to be able to play like that. So I started learning.

One of the first songs I ever tried transcribing was The Loner. It's one of my favourite songs ever, and my transcription probably totally butchered it. I can't remember anymore. Later on I learned it properly. I even used to play some kind of cover version of it live.

The Loner is Gary Moore at his best. Melodic, full of emotion, and even a few fast things. I hope I didn't butcher it as badly as I probably did when I first transcribed it. This cover is a tribute to the man who got me playing guitar in the first place. Actually I think it turned out rather well.

I hope you like it.
