The cover is part of their Sunday Lunch series. Although known as a “blues player”, Gallagher wasn’t really that simple. The December 2020 issue of Guitar Magazine is out now! Gallagher was seemingly never a fan of the Telecaster neck pickup either (he liked it alone, but once described the middle-position/both-pickups-on setting as “a sound I detest”) so these were both eventually “mongrels” too – fitting a Strat pickup at neck, for example, and later adding a third middle pickup and 5-way toggle for a Strat/Esquire hybrid. The game was published by Activision and distributed by RedOctane. A 1960 Melody Maker (with a retro-fitted humbucker) was often pulled out for slide as well, and when Rory jammed onstage with Slash in 1991 at The Roxy in LA, he gave the Gunner his MM to play. Evidence of Rory’s untapped fanbase came in 1997 when the Fender Custom Shop announced a limited run of 40 replicas… they were besieged with requests for more, and the guitar can still be ordered. Gallagher removed the Bigsby (he didn’t use vibrato arms much at all) and modified it. Sometimes, record labels get posthumous compilations just right – especially when seeking the input of relatives. Many first heard Steve Vai on his album "Eat em and Smile" which included Yankee Rose and Ladies Night in Buffalo. The Tele and Esquire were used predominantly for slide playing but by the late 70s Gallagher had decided to retire the ‘black’ Esquire. It encompasses folk blues, flamenco, skiffle and traditional Irish music and features Juan Martin, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, Béla Fleck and Lonnie Donegan among its guests. In the first of a new series, we examine how this simple and common system for learning the guitar contains hidden depths that could be the key to unlocking your potential as a musician.

An unlikely tone-link between the 1970s’ most no-frills rocker and the same decade’s frilliest glamsters. See details. From 1973 or so, when he expanded his own band to include keyboardist Lou Martin, he also used a 1956 Fender Twin. Speaking to this author in the mid-2000s, brother Donal Gallagher maintained it was Rory’s “unusually acidic” sweat that caused all this damage to the burst finish (and the neck). He arrived just after the height of the ‘British blues boom’ of Clapton, Beck, Peter Green et al but really, deserved to be considered a peer… albeit from a close-by nation. However, another incident early on in Rory’s career may have been a significant contributor to the wear and tear the guitar suffered.

Nevertheless, the Corvette was known to be one of Gallagher’s favourite guitars. “The Corvette is Gretsch’s attempt at a Les Paul Junior, but I took off the Gretsch pickup because it was too weak and I put on a P-90, which is an old black Gibson single coil pickup,” he explained.
