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.

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.

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 …

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!

Gary had his own unique sound. Always will miss this Legend.

Guitar world often forget about Gary Moore for some reasons. The most underrated.

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.

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.

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 kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2h6rZKKpdLfnso.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.
