Notes

Live performance, early 1990s (circa 1990-1992). Gary Moore is confirmed to use his 1959 Les Paul Standard for live blues performances of this era, including 'Walking By Myself (Live)'. The amp and pedal setup matches his Still Got The Blues tour rig. Settings are adapted from studio sources due to lack of direct live documentation, but are highly representative.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing at a fast shuffle tempo, with challenging bends, vibrato, and legato runs that demand strong technique and control.
