Hard to believe it has only been 9 years. Seems like ages since he’s been gone. Was and still am a devout fan. No one could ever touch this guy’s style or technique...they never will.
As a experienced guitarist, I can say that Gay Moore was one of the best guitarists in the world. No matter how skilled other guitarists are, they might be able to play his riffs but they can never ever achieve the same tone, same vibrato, same feeling as Gary Moore
As an experienced guitarist I can say that that goes for any guitarists truly worth their salt … I can also so say that saying that something is “best” is void of meaning unless one qualifies “best at what” with some reference to a defined set of values. I can further note that “guitar” is not the answer to the question. And I can say that as it turns out, different guitarists are good at many different things and that no single of them can do everything all the others can do in quite the same way. Finally I can say that experienced people understand that non-specific references to personal “experience” does not add to a claim, it’s simply an argument from presumed authority …
Who was it who said ''he's got a face like a welders workbench'' ?? Who cares, brilliant musician. I was a handful of people who witnessed a g force gig. Best album he's done. My opinion.🙂
Many of the most influential current guitarists have massive respect and learned from GM. You will hear them all at some point mention his influence. I don't think he was ever underrated. I know I was the only one in my circle of guitar friends who idolised him, maybe where you are coming from. He spoke with his guitar and wasn't one of the big ego loud mainstream types.
I worked in a vintage guitar shop in Vancouver BC, one day i came back from lunch and the boss said oh Gary Moore was just here, i missed meeting this legend WORST LUNCH BREAK EVER. RIP Gary you were awesome.
Hi Mike, I had a part time job at Chandler Guitars in London, Kew Gardens, and met Gary quite a few times. What a awesome player and lovely guy. However, what he really liked talking about was Computer Games and Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. He loved those speakers and was convinced that if Hendrix would have gotten an chance to try them, he would have loved them too.
No, it can happen. My ex-keyboard player from 2 bands quit a restaurant job in Lansdown, Bath, England on the Friday. Saturday Joni Mitchell came in and jammed ALL NIGHT. He was gutted.
I found out about Gary at around the same time, someone gave me a copy cd their brother had done and wow, was I hooked, fabulous does not describe this man's ability, absolute magic in my eyes, and loved this interview.
GM was the all-time great guitar maestro, and yet never received one-one-100th the credit he deserved. Nobody makes a song his as did Gary. Whether speed-strumming fast rock or slow-playing soulful blues tunes, his tone was perfectly pure; and he blessed us with so many styles you can tag him with any type. He was indeed all of them. He was a master at mixing other genres into songs, and that is what made those songs his. Excellent writer and composer, too. It will be a while before there is another one like him. He is missed!
Mr Jonez - Countless musicians including YOUR favorites? Is it a foreign concept to you that it’s common for musicians to translate feelings through their “strings” or instruments? Those who immediately come to mind: Keith Jarrett, Van Halen, Hendrix, Dave Gilmour, Jaco P, John Coltrane…
He was a real ONE OF A KIND and had TONE TO THE BONE ! 👍👍👍😉🙂 one of the most inovative hard rock and blues/blues rock guitar players that ever existed ! 👍👍🙂😉
I’ve never seen anyone replicate his vibrato, ever. It’s his signature and one of the main components of his sound. I once read him say he would crank his Marshall in his hallway (he was already an accomplished player) and practice nothing but vibrato for an hour straight for months. It was well worth it, it appears. Steve vai also recommends 1 month of vibrato one hour a day.
Kind of a bb king vibrato.. Somewhere is an old lesson video where King explains his vibrato, highlights the point.. Maybe something fun for you to explore
For the benefit of all us home players... That obsessive way of practicing is not necessary to get that vibrato. That's not the only way to achieve that goal. You don't have to spend hours of doing just bends in an unmusical manner for a month if, instead, you spread all that bending practice out over a longer duration of time (like a couple years). If you improvise your own soloing over your favorite albums for several years, that vibrato comes naturally (assuming that you play with vibrato on many of the notes you play during all that wood-shedding). Imitating someone else's technique (or song) to the precise detail is the easy part. Coming up with your own stuff and writing songs that people want to hear is where the real art comes in. I can cover and replicate most things on my guitar (including Gary's vibrato), but that doesn't mean that I am any good. It just means that I can copy the real artists. Now, if I were to write a good original song that people want to hear, that would mean that I was good. ;)
@@eisenkeith said "Jackpot czcams.com/video/a4FK0Quoyng/video.html bb king vibrato" Wow. That is a REALLY difficult way to do vibrato. Doing vibrato by taking your thumb OFF the neck is damn near impossible to get accurate because your hand in not anchored in one static position. Everything is floating... your arm, your hand- everything. And I think you'd have to be sitting down ALWAYS to ever get it right. You guys don't have to do it in this pretty uncommon way that BB learned to do it. Most players have a bit of force going through their thumb that is pressed against the top side of the neck, stabilizing their hand. For me, it is actually the part under the knuckle of the thumb that is right on the edge of the fretboard and neck.
I got to know GM through Wild Frontier album which blew me away but the guy is just amazing in any kind of music he ever made. What a musician he was! R.I.P. Gary.
Total one off, there will only ever be one Gary Moore, he played with pure passion and felt every note he played, my favourite guitarist of all time, gutted I never got a chance to see his greatness live, gone too soon but his music will live on and inspire other guitarists forever 🙌🏻
Its ALL about feeling, intense feeling and emotional notes and rhythms,,,and Gary had ALL of that,, a true musician/guitarist,,,thank you Gary R.I.P ,,,,,,,,- .RJB.
I remember when I bought "Still got the Blues" That CD didn't leave my car stereo for a year.. Great tone, decent singing voice. Best 2 guitarists to come of Ireland were Rory Gallgher and Gary Moore.
This is why I love Gary Moore. He is so on a level and down to earth. You can tell he is all about the music rather than ego and it shows in his musical legacy. This man is my guitar idol.
Gary has a tone and vibrato unmatched, we’ll never see his like again. I miss him like so many fans do. He’s up there with the very best there’s ever been.
"End of the world "got me hooked on Gary heard it on the radio on my way to high school , went out and bought it and turned my friends on to it. couldn't believe the passion in his playing. Upset I never got to see him live. Live in USA
Beautiful tone, articulation, speed, vibrato and volume control... all directly from his hand, head and heart. One of my all time favorites,, not forgetting Stevie and Jimmy... RIP my idols, there will never be another!
i know mate, been there many a day and night, he truly, was god gifted,even without an amp, his tone is so,so, beautiful, beyonds words............., please god, give us gary back......please.............
I'm not a big fan of Garys music but we have in common, that I am a guitarist myself (hobby). So I bought once a long compilation album from Gary an put it on my mobiles playlist. Everytime a song pops up in my radio I'm blown away. The sound, the playing, the voice, the feeling gives me chills everytime. Such a superb musician he was.
i have seen gary moore play many times and i can say without a shadow of a doubt no one can touch your heart like he could pure emotion simply the best .
One of best blues / rock guitarists , Use to see him around reading [ uk ] in the 80s he lived nearby in wargrave . Very down to earth guy etc and played so well with a lot of feeling .
I’ve seen many top guitarists like Green, Clapton, Beck, Townsend, Page, Berry, Richards, Taylor and hundreds more. I only saw Gary once and he was pretty much out there if not better than most.
This guy's solos are legendary everytime I hear his songs I always have to pick up my Les Paul and play along🤘 r.i.p Gary Moore to this day and on your rock will always be cranked up
Thanks for uploading this saycanalla. It goes without saying that GM is one of the greatest blues guitarists ever. I love the fact that he is entirely self taught. However, I think one should not overlook the fact that he is also a brilliant blues vocalist.
It always was so easy to overlook his mad singing skills because of his otherworldly guitar skills. Circa 9:30 into the video, Gary is like "excuse me while I exit this slow piece @16 million miles an hour ..." Can't forget him easily
I always wonder how he went from Thin Lizzy to one of the best bluesmen I ever heard...He is one of my ALL TIME favs..got into his blues albums about 20 years ago. Just wonder..who broke his heart SO BAD to make him SO GOOD....
Gail Johnson It can be just life, but Gary's parents divorced when he was a kid, growing up in Northern Ireland, and he moved out by himself extremely young. Some people drink their problems away, some play them away; that's what the blues is.
Gary Moore is one of the main reasons "I got the bug" and love and play guitar and love music.. every single time I hear/see him play, I get a tear in my eye and overwhelmed with a feeling that cannot be put into words. Thanks Gary Moore I love you \..../\m/\..../\m/\..../\m/\..../\m/
When I was eight years old I got 2 cds from my dad. Deep Purple-Made In Japan & Gary Moore-Still got the blues. When I herd Gary’s tone for the first time on that album. I did know & then that blues/rock was the music for me.
Yep as a teen getting into guitar he was the first guy I heard that just gave me chills. I then didn't even understand why. But over time I realised that vibrato is the sweetest any guitarist has ever produced and it was utilised to perfection in so many of his beautiful solos
One of the absolute best. Such emotive playing - and could mix it up with some classy fast runs that still fitted with the overall feel for the songs. Great interview
Gary Moore One of the greatest of our time he put so much heart and Soul in is playing A true Master his Spirit and Music will always Live on and inspire us All. Gone but always remembered ❤🎸🙏
I’ve never heard, and will never hear for sure, a better or much beautiful Tone than what This MASTER and LEGEND achieved on Greeny and Stripe, not mentioning how he did a strat sound so fat and Lespaulnessy. I Miss you Gary.
I wish Gary was still here..
Don't we all.

Just because he's singing about Paris doesn't make him gay!
Gary was one of the best guitarists in the world, period. He was a humble man and we miss him.
I’m a big Thin lizzy fan and when Gary Moore and Scott Gorman play together on the track Black ROSE,
Awesome, a brilliant guitarist x
Who was it who said ''he's got a face like a welders workbench'' ??
Who cares, brilliant musician.
I was a handful of people who witnessed a g force gig. Best album he's done. My opinion.🙂
@@kippertrace5808 that's only cause some physco cut up his face with a beer glass
@@joshmuz9018 I know. Probably a jealous wannabe.
@@kippertrace5808 nah it was over his girlfriend
He just kind of sits in the back as one of the most underrated, most talented guitarists ever
Gary is the best ever! Thanks to the internet he is being discovered by people all over the globe.
Nearly all who know him put him in their top 3. The best vibrato ever
I don't know anyone who would think Gary Moore was underrated, I mean who'd think that?
I'd never say Gary was underrated. His soulful playing was undeniable. Such a loss to the music world.
Many of the most influential current guitarists have massive respect and learned from GM. You will hear them all at some point mention his influence. I don't think he was ever underrated.

I worked in a vintage guitar shop in Vancouver BC, one day i came back from lunch and the boss said oh Gary Moore was just here, i missed meeting this legend WORST LUNCH BREAK EVER. RIP Gary you were awesome.
Mike Anthony
OR ... all this time - your boss has been pulling your leg.
I popped in too that dinner, but ya missed me also... 😂
Hi Mike, I had a part time job at Chandler Guitars in London, Kew Gardens, and met Gary quite a few times. What a awesome player and lovely guy. However, what he really liked talking about was Computer Games and Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. He loved those speakers and was convinced that if Hendrix would have gotten an chance to try them, he would have loved them too.
No, it can happen. My ex-keyboard player from 2 bands quit a restaurant job in Lansdown, Bath, England on the Friday. Saturday Joni Mitchell came in and jammed ALL NIGHT. He was gutted.
whynottalklikeapirat you had more chance of seeing Gary in the pub 😂 RIP Mr Moore you were an awesome player
The most ferocious and melodic player to ever pick up a guitar. Incredible influence
He will forever be missed. What a Legend!
Ridiculously talented musician. None other like him
+kjek1 They dont make them like that no more :(
kjek1 Very humble and down to earth too.
i hear he was pretty arrogant actually..
His music was arrogantly beautiful
If you can walk the walk ....
Simple. Gary was one of the best, ever. Ever.
Gary moore, Eddie Van Halen, SRV are my top 3 favorites
For me HE was the best
Legend
I'm almost ashamed to admit that I only got into Gary Moore about 5-6 years ago. I was definitely late to the party. He had really, really great tone.
Anthony Norton same here. I didn't even get into his stuff until after he died. I got into Thin Lizzy in 2012. Then found Gary
No big deal. I often get bored and I will dig up some music from some guitarist from the past. There are a lot to chose from.
I found out about Gary at around the same time, someone gave me a copy cd their brother had done and wow, was I hooked, fabulous does not describe this man's ability, absolute magic in my eyes, and loved this interview.
Never too late! We're lucky man!

SUPER Talented and a lovely humble man, life is so fucking cruel. R.I.P. Maestro
Not according to the stories I've heard
Guitar world often forget about Gary Moore for some reasons. The most underrated.
Gary had his own unique sound. Always will miss this Legend.
The wonderful human being that was Gary Moore, miss you so
He looks like a very tender person
@@Louisefalk78 Yes, he was. I used to know his family very well and also Gary. He was a wonderful person.
Gary never cried at his tough times..He made his guitar cry...he was One of a kind...miss u ..
Boy did he have a good ear. Greatly missed as all have said. Total master
I wept for three solid days when I heard he’d died. Me and my Dad loved his gig at the Manchester Apollo in 1984.
What a player!
An incredible talent
+Carpentrov699 He could be technical and flashy, but it was the lyricism and expressiveness that really knocked me out.
Well said man. Such a shame he's gone
What Gary adds to his playing no one can copy ever, he can translate his feelings on strings.....
why cant you copy it?
nohaste4me - A *lot* of players “translate feelings” through their strings or whatever instrument they play. So…
@@cirenosnor5768 like who?

One of the best Singer Guitar virtuosos in our time.Gary RIP you will always be missed
Gary won't be resting. He's still over there playing as he did here.
He was a real ONE OF A KIND and had TONE TO THE BONE ! 👍👍👍😉🙂 one of the most inovative hard rock and blues/blues rock guitar players that ever existed ! 👍👍🙂😉
Absolutely without a doubt the single most underrated player to ever pick up a guitar. Not a genre he couldn't play brilliantly.
Having never seen Gary interviewed before that was very impressive .Such an inspirational musician and real gentleman .Sadly missed
Gary and SRV...just gifted...and seemingly very nice people. Miss them both.
+Scott Waszak Yes he seems like a nice chap..in every interview i've seen.
Stevie, amazing talent, authentic blues, incredible chops and tone, Moore ,cheesy songs, awful tone, crap playing and horrendous vocals.

It is, and one of the things those hands have to do is dial in the amp they're using, that's a skill in itself
I've had a couple of those. I never knew they sucked until the internet came out.
Matthias amazing how that works
Beautiful person and one of the greats of the guitar without doubt...
one of the biggest talent in music history imo love his work so much
Empty Rooms live in Stockholm 1987 was my favourite. That phenomeanl lead break always brought a tears to my eyes.

One of best blues / rock guitarists , Use to see him around reading [ uk ] in the 80s he lived nearby in wargrave . Very down to earth guy etc and played so well with a lot of feeling .
My mistake peeps he lived in shiplake not wargrave.......I knew he lived near reading and both are nearby and he ended up moving to Brighton .
Motörhead nothing more noble and humble as a man admitting he is wrong - be well good Knight 🍺

Midnight blues is still my favorite of his songs 🎵 💙
I’ve seen many top guitarists like Green, Clapton, Beck, Townsend, Page, Berry, Richards, Taylor and hundreds more. I only saw Gary once and he was pretty much out there if not better than most.
High praise indeed. Just something about Peter Green in his pomp for me personally is my favourite.
Beautiful haunting song, Midnight Blues.
What a humble guy. One of the greatest guitarists ever and sadly missed. Taken too young
Legend! Never forgotten
He made wonderful music, and will surely be missed! He's the only one who made me listen to blues :) he still do. Rèst in peace
The Best Guitarist/Singer EVER!!!!
Sorely missed!!
This guy's solos are legendary everytime I hear his songs I always have to pick up my Les Paul and play along🤘 r.i.p Gary Moore to this day and on your rock will always be cranked up
GREAT feel player.. fantastic
He left a huge hole in my life. His bends make me weep.
Definitely one of the worlds greatest Guitarist’s ever Rest In Peace Gary Moore
My all time favourite guitar player, and the biggest influence on my own playing. Cannot express in words how good he was. He is missed!
He always seemed very generous during interviews by playing his guitar to help explain the songs, technique etc
Thanks for uploading this saycanalla. It goes without saying that GM is one of the greatest blues guitarists ever. I love the fact that he is entirely self taught. However, I think one should not overlook the fact that he is also a brilliant blues vocalist.
For me he was the Best guitar player of the whole world no one Is close to him God bless him Rip
Insane Gary
Allways wondering how beautiful person he was. The smile and eyes. Miss you to death Gary.
It always was so easy to overlook his mad singing skills because of his otherworldly guitar skills.
Circa 9:30 into the video, Gary is like "excuse me while I exit this slow piece @16 million miles an hour ..."
Can't forget him easily
I always wonder how he went from Thin Lizzy to one of the best bluesmen I ever heard...He is one of my ALL TIME favs..got into his blues albums about 20 years ago. Just wonder..who broke his heart SO BAD to make him SO GOOD....
Gary's greatest influence was Peter Green and that's what got him into Blues.
Gail Johnson It can be just life, but Gary's parents divorced when he was a kid, growing up in Northern Ireland, and he moved out by himself extremely young. Some people drink their problems away, some play them away; that's what the blues is.
AmDsus2Fmaj7Am
Thanks for the info!! Glad he chose to play his blues and share them with us. Will miss him mightily..as will many others.
Gail Johnson That's definitely true. I think of Gary and his music every day; he lives on in our hearts.
He was only 16 moving from Belfast to Dublin, the Troubles had started in the North in 1972, it was a horrible dangerous place, and he got out......
Its just so sad... I discovered him 11 years too late.
Amazing feel and melody a sad loss for music when he passed.
Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore in Ireland!!
Still got the blues.
I miss the passion and feel that comes out gives you goose bumps and makes you feel so much better
How did I miss this Man for those years?
Thank goodness his music is here.
I'm covering "Still Got The Blues".
That Song knocks me out.

I shook his hand and I swear I was a ten times better guitar player after.
Oh, what a great solo at the end. His fingers like gods fingers. No one like Gary. No one....
I miss this guy.
One of the absolute best. Such emotive playing - and could mix it up with some classy fast runs that still fitted with the overall feel for the songs. Great interview

I saw him in 1987 in Dallas with Ace Frehley and Y&T and Faster Pussycat. RIP Gary ❤❤
I love those melodies. Stunning and emotional lead work. He is missed. Thanks for the video.
