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.

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!

Gary Moores G Force should be in every electric guitar fans collection...
His live version of The Messiah will come is one of the greatest guitar performances ever .

[johncrace]

You got guts for trying man. I would not attempt such a feat. Gary Moore was astonishing. RIP

[winstonsmith]

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.

[supernothing]

He played jazzrock and or fusion at one time. He's a lot more versatile than people think

[johnpierson]

You know, you do look a lot like Gary Moore! When I am asked who my favorite guitar player is, I say Gary Moore. I have been playing guitar for 50 years now, and he has been a huge influence on me. I like this video and your video style.

[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).

[Johnny-oyfh]

Gary Moore was always a hero of mine and always will be. The loudest wildest guitarist I've ever seen...and great singer too

[chrisveker]

I was so fortunate to see Gary Moore play live three times. You always went home with a big complex, thinking "I cannot play guitar, if he look at Gary" ;-D

[rogerfilerable]

Gary's got absolute control on the emotional aspects of his playing...its like he can build from a trickle to a flood tastefully....

[fepp]

You kind of look like Gary Moore, its actually cracking me up. Keep on keepin on dude

[roywall]

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

[newriver]

Gary Moore, man had the feels in his fingers

[sunn_bass]

I saw Gary Moore in the early 80s at the Texxas Jam at the old Astrodome. He was such a great player and one of the top 10 in my books. RIP Garry and thanks for the music and memories.

[Yuval_L]

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!

[vincentp]

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.

[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.

[Birkguitars]

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!!
