Rory Gallagher is one of my favourite guitarists ever. There was just something about him and it shines through clearly on this fantastic clip from Rock Goes to College 1979. If you just look at the passion that he has when he plays you can understand why how the story often told about Jimi Hendrix came into rock folklore. Apparently Jimi was asked by a journalist how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world and he replied ‘’Ask Rory Gallagher’’. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter, the point is that you could imagine it to be true when you watch Rory play.
