One of the few, Randy Rhoads is another, and I'd say the last few years of his life he was HEAVILY influenced by Gary. Rhoads had that soul too and technique. Love Eddie, bur his playing didn't quite have that depth that Gary and Randy said. Amazing player and I loved him, but Gary and Randy are tops.
A lot of guitarists go over the top trying to cram too much into a solo. Gary knew this better than anyone and played with measured constraint in order to put feel before technical ability.
I've been following Gary Moore since I first saw and heard him playing on a Thin Lizzy Video "Waiting For An Alibi" played on HBO intermission rock session1979 !! Gary's playing thrills me and fills me with emotions and love for guitar for over 45 years!! He's simply the best of the best!!❤ Thank you Gary!! RIP😢
My husband was CEO of Fender and put on the Strat Pack Gig at Wembley Arena in 2005. Gary was quite a shy guy and wouldn't ask his 'hero' Hank Marvin to move on the stage so he could rehearse. His version of Red House on the night was spectacular...you could feel the whole audience in his thrall....
That’s great to hear. Just ordered my first custom shop and Gary was the main reason I ordered a fiesta red. Hoping to introduce future generations to everything Gary and Fender in general. Just gotta keep saving for more guitars and amps
I think this all the time but sometimes i just have to say it. Gary Moore is the greatest guitar player of all time. We will never see another as talented in every genre and singer songwriter too. no autotune, no purchased lyrics, our Gary was the real deal, and taken from us far too soon. RIP Gary, thanks for the memories.
You could be right. Gary played a number of different styles of music (even classical on Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Variations") and never put a foot wrong in any of them.
I have the great privilege of meeting Gary when I was younger and also jamming with him in the front room unaware of his genius then later on understood he was undoubtedly the greatest guitarists I've ever met and ever will
I saw Gary Moore with Thin Lizzy and as a soloist I have seen all the great guitarists Clapton, Steve Howe Satriani,Vai , Steve Morse ,S.R.V...... Gary by far was the most amazing and dramatic musician l have ever seen R.I.P
I have seen most of them except SRV, Gary was amazing, Steve and Joe were much more technical and accomplished, but Gary was more blues and previously rock.
I saw Gary Moore three times in the 80s and he was amazing every time. My number 1 memory is from the last time I saw him on his Run For Cover tour. It was at the Manchester Apollo. For the encore he said he had a sore throat and couldn't sing the next song, so he'd asked a friend to help him out. When Phil Lynott walked out onto the stage I was just gobsmacked, the whole crowd cheered so loudly. I have always loved Thin Lizzy so to have Gary Moore and Phil Lynott together was more than something special. They then played Out in the Fields and Parisienne Walkways together. I went home an extremely happy man.
Great story! It's a shame that wasn't captured on film as far as I know. I saw Gary on the Thunder Rising tour in Germany and California. I was in the military at that time and caught the show in Frankfurt. A month or two later I went home to California and lo and behold, he was playing a fairly small sized venue compared to the one in Europe. I recall he had a segment mid-show where he just played acoustic guitar and that always stuck with me. Wish I still have the t-shirts I bought.
I remember seeing him in the eighties some times around reading ( Berkshire)he lived nearby in Shiplake amazing guitarist Also weirdly a drummer I was friends with was John Sykes cousin who played for thin lizzy
No other guitarist could express such emotion & provoke so much passion in their craft as Gary Moore.....an Irish musical legend RIP.....the messiah will come again the greatest piece of guitar playing EVER
I was always into Guitar music and seen and heard Thousands, But the the one that I can listen to over and over and never tire of was Gary Moore, Just incredible feel that no other has.
Saw Gary a few times live, it was a brilliant experience and I will go to my grave believing he was the best guitarist I have ever seen and will ever be. RIP
I remember when i put the track The Messiah Will Come Again for the first time to a good friend of mine who knew Gary Moore but never heard that spesific track and this good friend of mine had tears in his eyes, so when the track was over i asked him "why did you cry?" and he said, "well, when you hear this track you actually can believe that the messiah will come again", and this was the greatness of Gary Moore, he could send a message by a song or an instrumental better than any guitar player, that's something really unique in music history, thanks Gary, RIP.
The sheer intensity of Gary Moore's playing and the fact that he really put all his soul in each note he played makes him one of the greatest up there along with all the guitar players we know and love... I had the pleasure of seeing him on stage several times throughout his career regardless of what musical phase he was is and he blew me away every time... Whether he played jazz-rock, hard rock, heavy metal, electronic drum' n' bass stuff or straight blues he always excelled at it... On top of that he was a brilliant songwriter, a fabulous performer and a great lead singer too... To me, all these qualities mixed together are the true mark of a genius... I miss him...
Truly an underappreciated guitarist. I've been a guitar freak for 16-17 years by now and I thought I've seen and heard it all until I finally found Gary Moore. He was UNBELIEVABLE. Definitely my favorite guitarist ever and I doubt if I see anyone who can beat him on top for me. I have never seen bends like his, i haven't seen instant and ultimate control and dominance over fret board like his, I have never heard a sound like his and i haven't seen a guitarist to put that amount of emotion and make guitar cry like him. There are guitarists like Hendrix, Satriani, Guilmoure, Vai, Zakk Wylde, Knopfler, Clapton, Van Halen, Tipton, Laiho, Cantrell, Adrian Smith, Dime, Petrucci etc, and then there's Gary Moore in his own league... I hope this explains his level in my eyes. He could play ANYTHING from melodic death metal to blues!
There are plenty of technically gifted guitarists out there, and Gary was certainly one of them. What sets Gary apart for me is the emotion that Gary wrested from every note. Watching him play his face shows every raw emotion. What's unique about Gary is when you turn off the video and just listen to the music all that emotion is still there. An incredible talent. I will never hear blues like Gary's blues again
Awesome! Been waiting for something like this for over a decade. I've been listening to guitarists for 50 years, and playing for 35. Trust me, I've heard them all, and there are many truly wonderful players, in many genres. But only one...Gary Moore...has ever brought me to tears with his playing. He had it all...tone, taste, feel, phrasing, all the chops you really need (anything more is just churlish stunt stuff) great note choice, and above all else a fire and passion that NO other player has ever matched. He played EVERY note like it was his last, and “dug in‘ like a WW1 soldier on the Somme. You only had to look at his face, and the sweat he produced EVERY performance, to see how much playing meant to him, nad how he was determined to get it to mean the same to you. Never played a bad note, let alone a bad solo. We've lost many titans of rock, blues, guitar in general. We have a few more thankfully still with us (Beck, Clapton, Page etc etc). But I miss Gary everyday, and will miss him to the end of my days. I know it sounds like hyperbole...but he really was THAT special. You either heard and loved Gary, and considered him your favourite, or you've never heard him! Simple as!
I've been a fan of Gary forever, just like most here. His passion, technical ability, phrasing, and melodic sense are so complete and powerful. He is mind-blowing, in the present tense.He is still alive for me, through his music and spirit. I'm a fan of his blues and ballads mostly but I listen to the heavier stuff sometimes. One of a kind. Fly on Gary......riff on and be free.....
The version of Empty Rooms he played at the Stockholm 1987 concert is forever my favourite performance available of any song, and that's some stiff competition there. Absolutely sensational. Man could transcend in the moment, truly. RIP Gary mate 🙏🏻 🎸
I saw Gary in 1971 when he was in the Irish Skid Row with Brush Shiels. I was only a few feet away from Gary, and as a 14 year old I couldn't believe my eyes or ears as he played those fast runs on his Les Paul.
I worked with Gary from between 1982-86 at my studio, Magritte Music which was based in Harmondsworth village near Heathrow. As his son Jack says, amazing ears and such a privilege to be in the control room with him when we were overdubbing his solos!
I was lucky enough to have seen Gary multiple times (1982-1994) and it didn’t matter if he played metal or blues, you always knew it was Gary. My favorite guitarist of all time. RIP.
all these players paying tribute to Gary knows that he's at least 10 times better than each and everyone of them, period .. amazing sustain, vibrato, fast but clean as you can still hear every note he played, and he was able to make you feel the same as him, a rare talent .. no body can soar like Gary .. rip
Gary's "The Messiah will Come Again" has to be the best guitar solo I've ever heard by anyone. He was underrated by most people until they heard him play and after that they were hooked. He was up there with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Hendrix.
@@JordanLally-iu5sm Pedals have nothing whatsoever to do with it. Roy had prodigious talent but he couldn’t approach Gary’s sense of melody, dynamics, dramatic pacing and impeccable TASTE on display in that particular piece. If you like Roy’s better, that’s great. No problem whatsoever. But if we’re talking a musical work of art to last for years, years and years - it’s Gary Moore.
I first found out about Gary when I was asked to learn a Colosseum II song in a band, and all these years later I can still kind of play it. Not all of it, mind you, but enough to remember what it sounds like. I got to see him open for Rush in 1984 at the Cow Palace, and I was the only only one of my friends who was excited to see him. I have a particular bond with him because we were both left handed people who played right handed guitars, and many times when I got discouraged, I would think, Gary Moore can do it, so it can be done.
Lucky enough to see Gary in the 80's and sat stunned through the whole show, his touch and feel and his melodies were just sublime. Not in the least surprised that Blackmore stormed off!
Gary Moore's G-Force supported Whitesnake in the UK in summer 1980. I knew he was more than just good from his Thin Lizzy / Back on the Streets era just before, but his presence onstage was quite overwhelming. He and his guitar (Charvel at the time) almost became one. He and Michael Schenker were the next Blackmore and Page. Love Joe Bonamassa's "Bull in a china-shop" analogy - perfect. The review of the G-Force album in one music weekly concluded: "Moore's an aggressive performer. Aggression, indeed, seems to be a major part of his personality." That summed him up too. I can say that Gary Moore has made me cry more than any man, or even woman! And that's a strange compliment, but a valid one.
I saw Gary when he came to Dublin at 17yrs old and went on to playing in Skid Row. That was my favourite time to see and hear him play and also his guitar playing on sessions with Strangley Strange before he became a heavy metal player in later years. 🇮🇪
my favorite guitarist. No one plays like Gary. I was fortunate enough to see him twice in the 80s, one show was the Victims of The Future tour. I still have the ticket stub from 1984
He was my dad’s second favorite guitarist (after Chet Atkins) and he became mine too. The tone, his voice, feel, technique, the whole package! Gary was THE guitarist. Thanks for the video
Nice to see some great guitar players paying tribute to him , never actually seen him though I once had the chance but something else cropped up I thought there would be another time unfortunately that wasn't too be , I absolutely adore him as a player and a Man big influence greatly missed 🎸🎶
My favorite Gary Moore song is I had a dream. The sweetest, most beautiful notes I have ever heard. So much restraint, and then some fireworks at the end, book marked by exquisite dreamlike notes.
I had the privilege of seeing Gary twice. I always felt he deserved more success than he had, he was the musician who first turned me on to the blues. Favourite song is probably still got the blues.
Gary Moore was far above the norm for a guitar player. Truly a supernatural player. He played from the depths of his soul and I believe he's still playing on the other side with God and myriads of angels as an audience and I'm sure they're loving every note. 💯
So many good/and/or great guitar players, Gary was in a league of its own. Never ever heard anyone like him. Not even Eddy vH (who I respect above all)
When I really think about it, I can't help but conclude my thoughts with the simple assertion of Gary being the GOAT. I've never ever seen anything even remotely similar to the level of mastery of guitar that he had attained. RIP Gary, see you on the other side.
I saw Gary in Dayton,Oh at Hara Arena around 1982. He opened up for Krokus and Def Leppard and blew the roof off of the place. I was blown away by his greatness. He was touring Corridors of Power I believe.
Yep, had a few ups and downs in life, but saw Gary three times, including a few rows from the front when he toured with BB King. Ain't no-one taking that away from me. Amazing, unbelievable guitarist, so missed.
I think it will come to pass that from those in the know you will start hearing that Gary probably is the greatest blues/rock guitarist that ever lived….From my point of view I’ve known that for at least 25 years. RIP GARY YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED.🙏🏼
Gary is my favourite electric guitar player. Having said that, there are other incredible guitarists like SRV, Hendritx, EVH, Bonamassa.... What it is outrageous is how underrated this genious is. And that is the reason for thank you for the video.
Gary’s rendition of Parisienne Walkways live at Montreux in July 2010 was the last filmed performance before his tragic passing in February 2011. You could see that audience was absolutely mesmerised and it is one of the greatest guitar performances of all time in my opinion. RIP legend.
I saw Gary in Lizzy on the Black Rose tour. The first time I saw him was in 1975 at Liverpool Uni playing with Colloseum 2 touring the Strange New Flesh album. He was about 10 feet in front of me and my mates on stage with the Greeny Gibson. I’ve never forgotten that experience, best guitarist I’ve ever seen. If you’ve never heard the Album you’re missing a treat. Gary at his inventive and versatile best
I saw Gary at the Brixton Accademy in London in 1989 at the time "Still got the blues......" was at the peak of popularity. I sat in the 5th row and I could see his movements on the guitar neck. It was just awesome concert that I will never forget.
I have seen Gary numerous times im originally from Dublin Irl fact he practiced hours and hours every day and loved the chieftains and could play Irish trad on the guitar thus black rose came from March of the king of leitrim Gary sadly loved to drink a lot however he did not let this get in the way of his playing or practice he was very disciplined , Dublin in the 70- 80 was a backwards place for rock music and London was the happening scene he hung out there a lot he was very talented and being he started playing with his dad as a kid he picked up songs fast and could just jump right in and thus took over from Brian Robertson in the middle of Thin Lizzy's US tour -- NO REHERSALS , so stat speaks for it self . the Scar on his face sadly a result of a bar fight common in Ireland in the time , as thats how issues were solved
I saw Gary Moore live in 2010 a year before he left us. He is my biggest inspiration and I was so saddened when I picked up a newspaper with the news about his death, I still keep that newspaper to this day.
I'm quite young, so I saw Gary only once, in Kyiv. It was the first gig from the last tour. Sound was amazing, real Hard Rock with great solos. For some reason, a lot of people thought that Gary will play romantic blues (lol) and one group of women came with flowers waiting for that... After Over the hills and far away they leave the show and came back only after Gary started to play ballads, that was so funny. I saw a lot of guitarist after. Nobody sounded better, or at least close to Gary. RIP my legend, thank you for everything that you done. You inspired me, and I'm still re-opening your music as the years go by.
I always liked the non traditional techniques that Gary often used. People call it "cheating" when I mix a bunch of hammer/pulloff/picking runs, but it really adds a variety of attack as you move along. When you get used to it, you can make it flow and sort of turn corners really smoothly and fast. Watching Gary combining those techniques can really give you lots of options. Great video man!
It is only called cheating by people who cannot do/do not know! Some of his cadenzas Chord progressions would not be out of place on classical pieces. That alone shows great musicianship
Speaking as a guitar player who doesn't care for pussies and slackers , Gary is The Fiercest Non Slack , No Quarter , No Prisoners Taken Guitar Maestro the Emerald Isles have produced since Rory Gallagher , and don't you forget it .
Gary Moore is living proof that you can play with feel and shred better than anyone ever did at the same time.
Gary could shred before shred was invented.
One of the few, Randy Rhoads is another, and I'd say the last few years of his life he was HEAVILY influenced by Gary. Rhoads had that soul too and technique. Love Eddie, bur his playing didn't quite have that depth that Gary and Randy said. Amazing player and I loved him, but Gary and Randy are tops.
Well, proof anyway.
A lot of guitarists go over the top trying to cram too much into a solo. Gary knew this better than anyone and played with measured constraint in order to put feel before technical ability.
@@zibbezabba2491 Absolutely spot on.
I've been following Gary Moore since I first saw and heard him playing on a Thin Lizzy Video "Waiting For An Alibi" played on HBO intermission rock session1979 !! Gary's playing thrills me and fills me with emotions and love for guitar for over 45 years!! He's simply the best of the best!!❤ Thank you Gary!! RIP😢
rip gary moore and rory gallagher. absolute legends
Well said Sir!
My two favorites!
Gary and Rory, jamming with Mick Ronson...
Amazing how two of the best guitarists originated from the same small island around the same time period.
Gary and Rory, absolutely loved both these Players!
My husband was CEO of Fender and put on the Strat Pack Gig at Wembley Arena in 2005. Gary was quite a shy guy and wouldn't ask his 'hero' Hank Marvin to move on the stage so he could rehearse. His version of Red House on the night was spectacular...you could feel the whole audience in his thrall....
That’s great to hear. Just ordered my first custom shop and Gary was the main reason I ordered a fiesta red. Hoping to introduce future generations to everything Gary and Fender in general. Just gotta keep saving for more guitars and amps
The Late Great Gary Moore is my #1.
The USA doesn’t know what good music is.
@@Bwiser63 only if they're American.....
I was there that night... he was indeed epic!
Much respect to your dad Jack. He was an inspiration to me and a legend in the guitar world. RIP Gary!
I think this all the time but sometimes i just have to say it. Gary Moore is the greatest guitar player of all time.

Lucky enough to see Gary in the 80's and sat stunned through the whole show, his touch and feel and his melodies were just sublime. Not in the least surprised that Blackmore stormed off!
Gary Moore's G-Force supported Whitesnake in the UK in summer 1980. I knew he was more than just good from his Thin Lizzy / Back on the Streets era just before, but his presence onstage was quite overwhelming. He and his guitar (Charvel at the time) almost became one. He and Michael Schenker were the next Blackmore and Page. Love Joe Bonamassa's "Bull in a china-shop" analogy - perfect. The review of the G-Force album in one music weekly concluded: "Moore's an aggressive performer. Aggression, indeed, seems to be a major part of his personality." That summed him up too. I can say that Gary Moore has made me cry more than any man, or even woman! And that's a strange compliment, but a valid one.
Thanks for making this video. Gary never got the hype that Clapton got but lets be honest, Gary was 100x better than Clapton.
No problem! Thanks for Watching!
Gary was better than all of his peers
Absolutely.
No guitarist is "better". Some are just more your preference.
But, yeah, Gary could play his ars off. Brilliant.
Without a doubt.
I saw Gary when he came to Dublin at 17yrs old and went on to playing in Skid Row. That was my favourite time to see and hear him play and also his guitar playing on sessions with Strangley Strange before he became a heavy metal player in later years. 🇮🇪
I saw him many times with Skid Row and he was amazing he would go off on a riff and steal the show,Brush Shields said when Gary left were fucked LoL.
my favorite guitarist. No one plays like Gary. I was fortunate enough to see him twice in the 80s, one show was the Victims of The Future tour. I still have the ticket stub from 1984
Hard to think of the right words describing Gary. Just the best.
He was my dad’s second favorite guitarist (after Chet Atkins) and he became mine too. The tone, his voice, feel, technique, the whole package! Gary was THE guitarist. Thanks for the video
Nice to see some great guitar players paying tribute to him , never actually seen him though I once had the chance but something else cropped up I thought there would be another time unfortunately that wasn't too be , I absolutely adore him as a player and a Man big influence greatly missed 🎸🎶
A very good video! A quite enjoyable 22 minutes!
My favorite Gary Moore song is I had a dream. The sweetest, most beautiful notes I have ever heard. So much restraint, and then some fireworks at the end, book marked by exquisite dreamlike notes.
I had the privilege of seeing Gary twice. I always felt he deserved more success than he had, he was the musician who first turned me on to the blues. Favourite song is probably still got the blues.
There are few talented men in this world like Gary Moore. Gary is one of them. The style of his music and his rare voice have always impressed me.
Gary Moore was far above the norm for a guitar player. Truly a supernatural player. He played from the depths of his soul and I believe he's still playing on the other side with God and myriads of angels as an audience and I'm sure they're loving every note. 💯
So many good/and/or great guitar players, Gary was in a league of its own. Never ever heard anyone like him. Not even Eddy vH (who I respect above all)
When I really think about it, I can't help but conclude my thoughts with the simple assertion of Gary being the GOAT. I've never ever seen anything even remotely similar to the level of mastery of guitar that he had attained. RIP Gary, see you on the other side.
I saw Gary in Dayton,Oh at Hara Arena around 1982. He opened up for Krokus and Def Leppard and blew the roof off of the place. I was blown away by his greatness. He was touring Corridors of Power I believe.
Check out Gary's 10 minute solo.."the Messiah will come again".. mesmerising stuff..top shelf.
Saw Gary Moore in concert one of my Heros he is Amazing !!!!!! Gary n Rory Gallagher 2 of my favorites of All time Irish Legends
I still got the blues for you…and you…and you.
RIP to one of musics greats!
Yep, had a few ups and downs in life, but saw Gary three times, including a few rows from the front when he toured with BB King. Ain't no-one taking that away from me. Amazing, unbelievable guitarist, so missed.
I miss you, Gary...
Gary Moore is the most underrated guitarist in the world he is a legend
Underrated!
I think it will come to pass that from those in the know you will start hearing that Gary probably is the greatest blues/rock guitarist that ever lived….From my point of view I’ve known that for at least 25 years. RIP GARY YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED.🙏🏼
He was really really good but so was S.R.V..
In the top 10
Can I say that Gary inspired me to play guitar..rockblues...thank you Gary ..🤘🏻❤️
My all time favourite guitarist, the like of him come around every 300 years or so, he was so special
Gary is my favourite electric guitar player. Having said that, there are other incredible guitarists like SRV, Hendritx, EVH, Bonamassa....
What it is outrageous is how underrated this genious is. And that is the reason for thank you for the video.
I saw Gary 1986 Killeen TX. Small gig after touring VHI think. maybe 150-200 people. He put on a show as if it were 20,000. Quite a few Hamers.
Gary’s rendition of Parisienne Walkways live at Montreux in July 2010 was the last filmed performance before his tragic passing in February 2011. You could see that audience was absolutely mesmerised and it is one of the greatest guitar performances of all time in my opinion. RIP legend.
I saw Gary in Lizzy on the Black Rose tour. The first time I saw him was in 1975 at Liverpool Uni playing with Colloseum 2 touring the Strange New Flesh album. He was about 10 feet in front of me and my mates on stage with the Greeny Gibson. I’ve never forgotten that experience, best guitarist I’ve ever seen. If you’ve never heard the Album you’re missing a treat. Gary at his inventive and versatile best
One of my favourite guitarists
i am happy i got se him. R.I.P Gary Moore.
I saw Gary at the Brixton Accademy in London in 1989 at the time "Still got the blues......" was at the peak of popularity.
I sat in the 5th row and I could see his movements on the guitar neck. It was just awesome concert that I will never forget.
Shapes of Things is magnificent.
Garry Moore was a very hard and at the same time emotional soloist on the guitar! Simply great! 👍🏻♥️
I have seen Gary numerous times im originally from Dublin Irl fact he practiced hours and hours every day and loved the chieftains and could play Irish trad on the guitar thus black rose came from March of the king of leitrim Gary sadly loved to drink a lot however he did not let this get in the way of his playing or practice he was very disciplined , Dublin in the 70- 80 was a backwards place for rock music and London was the happening scene he hung out there a lot he was very talented and being he started playing with his dad as a kid he picked up songs fast and could just jump right in and thus took over from Brian Robertson in the middle of Thin Lizzy's US tour -- NO REHERSALS , so stat speaks for it self . the Scar on his face sadly a result of a bar fight common in Ireland in the time , as thats how issues were solved
First heard him in 1989, as I was walking through a music store in Lisbon. Bought the CD right then and there!
I saw Gary Moore live in 2010 a year before he left us. He is my biggest inspiration and I was so saddened when I picked up a newspaper with the news about his death, I still keep that newspaper to this day.
I'm quite young, so I saw Gary only once, in Kyiv. It was the first gig from the last tour. Sound was amazing, real Hard Rock with great solos.
For some reason, a lot of people thought that Gary will play romantic blues (lol) and one group of women came with flowers waiting for that... After Over the hills and far away they leave the show and came back only after Gary started to play ballads, that was so funny.
I saw a lot of guitarist after. Nobody sounded better, or at least close to Gary.
RIP my legend, thank you for everything that you done. You inspired me, and I'm still re-opening your music as the years go by.
I always liked the non traditional techniques that Gary often used. People call it "cheating" when I mix a bunch of hammer/pulloff/picking runs, but it really adds a variety of attack as you move along. When you get used to it, you can make it flow and sort of turn corners really smoothly and fast. Watching Gary combining those techniques can really give you lots of options.
Great video man!
It is only called cheating by people who cannot do/do not know! Some of his cadenzas Chord progressions would not be out of place on classical pieces. That alone shows great musicianship
Speaking as a guitar player who doesn't care for pussies and slackers , Gary is The Fiercest Non Slack , No Quarter , No Prisoners Taken Guitar Maestro the Emerald Isles have produced since Rory Gallagher , and don't you forget it .
No such thing as cheating. There’s only sounds. And if you can achieve them in a manner you enjoy, that’s ALL that matters
Gary Moore is likely the most versatile, best guitarist of modern time. I love Gary Moore!
I love Gary’s playing on The Black Rose album. His bends and vibrato are so beautifully in tune.
Favourite song......'That Kind of Woman' .....brilliant.
He was amazing. I've always thought he was very under rated
his guitar seemed alive, it seemed to have a soul. In my opinion, among the greatest pou of all time
When I saw him together performing with Albert Collins! Seems like old friends. That was wonderful. ❤
Thank you 🙏 🌹❤️🕊 we love Gary always 🌹
I like Gary i this best guitarist i agree with the man ho said Gary was 100×better claton❤❤❤❤
