Notes

Live performance, late 1990s-2000s era (as seen in video and confirmed by Equipboard). Gary Moore's classic live rig for 'Parisienne Walkways' solo: Les Paul into Marshall JCM 2000 DSL, boosted with overdrive pedals. No evidence of Soldano or other amps for this era/live version. Pedals used for solo boost and sustain. Settings estimated based on era, amp, and genre as no numeric values are given in sources.

Difficulty

The solo is technically demanding due to its need for perfect vibrato, intonation, and control of feedback and sustain, as well as expressive phrasing and dynamic touch.
