I met him at a house-party. Someone invited my girlfriend and I round for drinks in Brighton, UK, and "a neighbour will be playing guitar and singing" while we had a BBQ etc. Well the guitarist friend was Gary Moore. He died a few years later and I am not too surprised, he wasn't healthy and liked a drink. But he's the most under-rated guitarist ever, imo. And a really nice, humble guy.

[@jaybd9329]

Not underrated at all

[@derekclacton]

Nice story! I was lucky enough to meet Gary in 1981 - he was a really nice guy when I met him too and a supremely talented guitarist. A terribly sad loss but what a great legacy of work - he was definitely underrated as a songwriter, imho.

[@freespeech-advocate]

He's not underrated here in Northern Ireland he is revered as an all time Great and we are proud of our link to him. Rock in peace Gary,🙏🎸

@@freespeech-advocate Rightly so - and highly rated the world over by his many fans 🎸👍

[@TheBaconWizard]

@@freespeech-advocate Good! But he isn't in the conversation as much as he should be when people talk about Hendrix, Jeff Beck, etc, internationally. He IS an all-time great, that's for sure.

Gary is my favorite player…he’s why I play guitar. I didn’t really take up guitar until my 40s. I was attending a week-long guitar workshop and one of the classes was on scales. All I knew was a couple of minor pentatonic positions but the instructor had me play them over a chord progression. When I finished, he said “You play like Gary Moore.” I had never heard of him and Still Got The Blues had just come out. So I got the CD and the next day told the instructor there was no way I played like Gary Moore…he was incredible. What he meant was my use of bending and vibrato were already a part of my style and it was similar to Gary. I regret that I never saw him live.

All that power comes from his heart! That’s why it’s impossible to replicate it, because Gary wasn’t exactly a sophisticated player that aims to hit the right note according to music theory, but a soulful player that express everything he has in his own heart, no matter what music theory says. Thanks for another great video!

[@winstonsmith8240]

The older I get the more I love him. The last few years when he went back to the blues is some of the most incredible, emotional guitar playing I've ever heard. As an aside, I knew someone (session player) who was drinking buddies with him. Thanks to his alcohol consumption they're together again in a bar somewhere. He loved Gary. Lovely bloke apparently.

There is no one better to emulate and learn from than Gary. He was one of the all time great players.

[@Incommunicado]

I like shredding and technique and admire all the great players out there but Gary Moore was one of the few who caused to give me goosebumps or even tears in my eyes. His tone and playing was magic. And not to forget his vocals. (Empty Rooms 1987 live in Stockholm).

[@HocusPocus6969]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[@maroofali2142]

Yeah, his vocals were so on point in that one...and to top it off...the outro solo he played is probably the most emotionally charged guitar solo ever...towards the end, he literally makes the guitar cry. Love love love Gary...gone too soon...RIP to a true phenom.

He played most of his unbelievably fast stuff with two fingers only...the index and the middle one. He was just incredible.

[@PedrSion]

Gary was the best of all time, full stop !

[@GaryBook]

It must have been amazing growing up in the south of France. What a beautiful country with the greatest food and wine.

[@LeighGhostTao]

Gary helped to demonstrate that very fast, fiery playing (the stuff that the 'less is more' plodders start mumbling and complaining about, whenever someone dares play even a few 16th notes) can have feeling, power, impact and emotion, equal to any other expressive playing technique, and more so in some cases, like here. RIP Gary.

[@jeffsquires6620]

Seen him live shortly after he left Thin Lizzy. Simply put, incredible.

[@DizzyKrissi]

Gary listened a lot to the "Beano" album from the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. It sounds like he took those fast repeating patterns from Eric and played them faster and all over the pentatonic/blues-scale patterns.

[@bumpyroad3251]

TBH Clapton and Gary Moore are totally different kind of guitar players, although both are rooted in Blues they got nothing in common.

[@DizzyKrissi]

@@bumpyroad3251 : I remember Gary playing Eric's solo from "Little Girl" from the Beano-album - nearly note by note. Gary was influenced by many blues-players. It's a good sign that you cannot hear the influence. This shows how to develop individual unique style.

I swear Gary Moore had a different type of muscle tissue. His hammer on and pull offs were the fastest I have ever heard. But I agree with the idea of contrast. The solo for Out In the Fields is a classic. Slow melodic start. Then all hell breaks loose. Perfect!!

[@stevest3v3]

The span Gary could achieve between his first & second finger was unbelievably wide.

[@tomashguitar638]

I might be wrong, but I think Gary was a natural lefty playing with his right hand, like many others (Mark Knopfler, Steve Morse etc there's a list somewhere). I play the same way and I can confirm that for all the sloppiness of strumming with the "wrong" hand, you balance it with natural agility and feel of your fretting hand. So naturally you are more at home playing legato and semi-legato than picking every note.

[@vintagetone22]

Such a melodic player. Parisian Walkways blew my mind the first time I heard it. It didn't matter what genre he turned his hand to, he always had a melodic base that was lyrical, sweet, powerful... And he knew how to build tension in his solo statements which many shredders seem incapable of doing. I recently heard Joe Bonamassa talk of his greatness in a very flattering and reverent manner, rightly so!

[@rogerowens5669]

Gary understood the concept of tension and release,

[@vincentp149]

The magic is in that light and shade Gary produced. I've always appreciated players who used both shredding and melodic phrases in their songs to heighten the drama. Thanks for sharing your story and discovery process.

The first time i saw Gary Moore was in 1989 and if i don't recall wrong the last song he played was Parisienne Walkways. It felt like he held that famous note for forever!! It was and still is a memory for life. Gary always played with a lot of improvisation live.

I was fortunate enough to see Gary twice.... Victims of the Future tour & Wild Frontiers. Both times he blew me away with is raw ability. I was right on the stage for Victims tour, LOUD to say the least. Marshalls. The stage always had an X on it, where he could stand and hold that note forever. Gary would use his middle finger more than usual, especially during the riffs you spoke of. Gary was one of the most underrated guitarists on the planet, but you could easily learn something from him. RIP Gary.

[@craig.martin]

Nice video. You have a skill as a great communicator. Gary is the best of the best, no one matched his tone. No one. And his melody. Your shout out on contrast here is spot on. He played melt your face off fast. but he also played slow. Slow that a beginner guitarist could play, witness the solo in Empty Rooms, arguably the greatest guitar solo ever. I don't say that lightly. Anyone can play the notes. No one has his his emotion. To see him live was an enchanted, transitory moment. I also have to add I met Gary a few times. He was the friendliest, most giving "hero" you could imagine. Funny too, if he didn't play guitar he would have found fortune as a stand-up comedian.

I'm 71 years old. When I heard Gary for the first time (I was many years younger) he was a rocker, bouncing around band to band, and then went on his own. He did an album called CORRIDORS OF POWER, and I was hooked. However, his career waned. Stevie Ray passed away, and out of nowhere I hear Gary playing blues on the radio. The rest is history.

[@29memyselfandi]

He had a couple of fine albums after Corridors. Run for Cover was a fine rock/ metal album and Wild Frontier was a brilliant rock/traditional Irish record. I think he lost his way and lost his mojo after Wild Frontier but certainly rediscovered it when he turned to his inner Bluesman. What a lovely player, so versatile and melodic as well as fast as lightning when he wanted to be. Much missed.

[@docf.n.t.2310]

I became a huge fan of Gary when the "London Collector" by Thin Lizzy came out. That was the early 70s. He would later pop up solo, plus in a band called Colosseum II. Then in 78 (?), he popped up with Thin Lizzy again for the Black Rose lp. After that, he was back to solo career "Back on the Streets", "Corridors of Power", "Dirty Fingers", "Victims of the Future", all metal themed albums, before he started to branch out and widen his musical spectrum. I cant help but laugh at people who think Gary "came out" in the 90's, when he was already on albums in the early 70s. His entry into *hardcore* blues (in the early 90s) was in what I consider to be the twilight of his career !

[@claymor8241]

Gary Moore went through phases. Blues rocker. Fusion guy. Shred widdler. Back to blues. His 1979 solo album Back On Yhe Streets ranged from almost punk to soft rock ballads to proggy Beck-type instrumentals. I think he was always a bit over-keen to show how much he could do, which was a lot.

[@vslentineforniles6218]

I saw Gary over a dozen times. First with Lizzy. They played Parisienne Walkways before Still in love with you, which has almost the same chord progression. I was at the gig in Sheffield where he's playing the sustained note. The most astonishing guitar playing I've ever seen was an extended intro to Midnight Blues on the 1992 Still Got the Blues tour in Bradford. As good as the video of the Messiah will.come again. Gary could play any style but his phrasing, vibrato and control of dynamics was his trademark. Always using the volume and tone controls and pick up selector to add light and shade. He put emotion and fire into all his playing. The fact that both Cream and the Hendrix Experience chose him to play with them in BBM and the Experience concerts says a lot.

[@mikestroud9969]

Good video. Love to listen to Gary. His playing was incredible. The Blues scale is one of the hardest. Lot of twists and turns. I think it comes from inside. It can't be harnessed or even. Taught. Natural. 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸 I dig listening and watching Samantha Fish. Plus she's a doll ❤️🥰🔥💯👍👌

@@rossmudie9298 That summed it all up perfectly. Those Raw Power promos got around. I threw one towards a security guard and it flew on stage and hit Bruce. That was my first Slayer mosh pit too.

The strangest thing was there was this biker granny in the slayer pit. Full dockers and leather with a flowery dress. She was knocking the crap out of people it was hilarious. Skid Row was amazing too. Seb threw his towel down to the crowd, I managed to get my fingertips on it before it was absolutely shredded to pieces in seconds. The next time I visited Donington was in '95 where I managed to get into the Snakepit for Metallica.

I'm feeling this video, but from a different instrument. I played keys and keys bass in a Doors tribute band for 12 years. At first I transcribed Light My Fire off the album note for note but then as I watched the Doors live videos I noticed Ray Manzarek never seemed to play the same song the same way twice. Instead he had a collection of Ray "licks" that he used in almost every song. After I absorbed the bucket of Ray "licks" if I wanted to stretch solos or make our version of When the Music's Over last nearly a whole set I just got into the Ray zone and didn't have to think about it, which is what Ray did every night. He was just being himself, in the zone. The contrast? Man, they would take it down in a song to a whisper then build ever so slowly until you got slapped awake in a total headrush. It was theater. Cabaret style rock.
