Out In The Fields Guitar Solo Tab

Out in the Fields is a hard rock masterpiece by Gary Moore and Phil Lynott, from 1985. The guitar solo is one of Moore’s most powerful — combining speed, aggression, and the emotional depth that made him one of the greatest rock guitarists in history.

About the Solo

Moore unleashes everything in this solo — fast pentatonic runs, wide vibrato, aggressive bends, and a passion that is impossible to ignore. It is technically demanding and musically brilliant. A benchmark for hard rock lead guitar.

What You Will Work On

• High-speed pentatonic runs — Moore’s aggressive alternate picking
• Wide vibrato on sustained notes — Moore’s signature emotional sustain
• Aggressive bends — full-step and beyond with rock conviction
• Dynamic contrast — building from quiet to explosive
• Emotional intensity — playing with passion, not just technique

Tips for Learning This Solo

• Build speed gradually — Gary Moore’s runs are fast and unforgiving.
• Work on vibrato separately before applying to the full solo.
• Use a singing, slightly overdriven tone to match Moore’s approach.
• Focus on the emotional content — this solo needs to feel urgent and intense.
