I'M SO HAPPY THAT SOMEBODY IS TALKING ABOUT GARY MOORE!!!!!!!

I remember sitting, noodling in a guitar shop in Brighton, England one rainy Sunday morning. A guy in a rain mack entered a little room that I was in for a browse, turned to me and smiled. I couldn't play another note, in awe of Gary Moore being in the same room as me. A few months later I found myself in his front room in Hove, fitting a fireplace for him. What a decent bloke he was. Rip Gary.

The dude was a top tier singer, a top tier song writer and a top tier guitarist.

I found myself standing in a queue behind Gary Moore in a music shop in Brighton, UK, back in the early 2000's. I stood there trying to think of something not stupid to say while he was served and ended up just staring at the guy. Surreal experience. He must have been living locally at the time, he is buried in Rottingdean, just outside Brighton. Wish I'd at least told him what a hero he was to me.

Gary could play any style. Truly one of the greatest ever!

Literally the EVH of blues /rock. So underrated by general public.

I saw him play with Thin Lizzy. As well as John Sykes, Snowy White and of course always Scott Gorham.

Corridors of Power should be on everyone’s radar. Great record.

Gary was my hero, i still miss him. Dude you nailed that, well done and thank you

I think there are a lot of players who don't appreciate just how good Gary was. A lot of people know about his beautiful melodic playing, but his legato was insane. I dig the Christmas Vacation reference btw!! 😂😂

To get anywhere near that solo in a day is very impressive 👏🏻

Live at Montreux , The messiah will come again is probably the greatest live prerformance I have ever heard. I got to see Gary live once. Out of all the gigs i have been to over the years , i will never forget seeing Gary. Tore my head off from start to finish.

Gary Moore is no joke for sure. His vibrato is absolutely massive. To quote an interview by Joe Bonamassa: "Gary Moore, that's some manly, balls to the wall guitar playing. First time, I've watched him live playing a festival in the early 00's and it was like witnessing a thunder storm coming down on you. "

I remember seeing him live at his peak. Front row seat about 5 feet away from the guy. The things he was doing were unbelievable. A true guitar legend.

That was an incredible video Ben, thank you. I met and spoke with Gary a number of times when I worked for the Guitarist Magazine. They used to put on performance shows at various venues around London in the 90s which Gary used to come along to when he was in town. I'm friends with Cliff (Gary's brother) and has told me that he used to watch his various bands rehearse. He said that Gary would rehearse like he was playing a show at all times. Gary's solo on "Killer" from Cozy's "Over the Top" album, blew me away.

I love the 80s hard rock era Gary Moore, I actually prefer it over the later more blues-oriented stuff he did. Songs like Wild Frontier, Out in the fields, Over the hills, etc are all time classics.

One of my favorite Gary Moore solo.

Ben, in a platform full of guitar content you're the best in the business. Your approach to teaching is unparalleled. You've perfectly balanced explanation with technique and humor.

You learn all this and then see Gary playing it on a hardtail guitar, I can't play anywhere near this now thanks to an accident with my left hand and a stroke but it's great to see others appreciating Gary's playing and keeping his memory alive.
