"Still Got The Blues"

Previously, in the last post, I said I love the music. Rock, Pop, Electronic and Classic music are my favorite styles. I play guitar in my free time, but I don't have a band, cause some people don't like how I play and my music styles.
I really love the Blues. It's my favorite music Style, and my "music hero" and inspiration is Gary Moore.
He was a Northern Irish musician, and he was in Ireland in born 4 April 1952 and die in Spain in 6 February 2011.
Gary Moore was a revolutionary man in the world of music, specifically in the blues, because he gave a "second air" to this old style and makes revive with powerfull riffs and melodic and delicious solos.

"Still Got The Blues" is the most representative song of his career. This song is a romantic blues ballad dedicated for a missing love that he remember with this amazing lyrics and guitar sound. Enjoy!


And other of my favorites song, called Out In The Fields.
