Gary Moore was so humble, and honnest in his way of playing his Art. He was not obsessed with the gear he used like all those people who think a guitar or an amp will make you a great musician. He was born a musician, offered everything to be happy and fulfilled on stage, no matter what style of music he played because he knew how to play everything. His discography proves that he had no mental, musical or technical barriers... Listen to the albums "Back on the street", "Corridor of power", "Wild frontier", "Still got the Blues", "After hours", "Dark days in paradise" etc... Everything will be different each time except his signature... his style. The thing that made him unique. Such a perfect blend of immense virtuosity, great energy, such great gentleness and a gentle melancholy that made him the huge melodist he was. He was the greatest guitarist while being humanly so simple and so kind and never forget what fantastic singer he was too. A real Artist, an anti-star. We miss you so much Mr Moore...😢 RIP. Thanck you so much for sharing this great interview fully. 😎👍🎼🎵🎶🎤🎸...

Whilst I waited for an autograph, I was invited onto Gary's tour bus and sat with him as we discussed the show. A very no nonsense type of guy who cared deeply that his fans experienced the very sound he wanted to share with them.. RIP Big Man..

Fantastic! a friend of mine had a similar encounter, Gary said lets go for a coffee and they sat and talked about guitar. I wish I had that chance, but I have endlessly played his music since I saw him play in 1970 with Skid Row.

Everyone in the comments is talking about what a great guitar player Gary Moore was AND THERE RIGHT!, he had mad skills great feel, passion, tone amazing sense of melody. He had it all as well as being a great singer and cool song writer. As Zakk Whylde said "if ya wanna learn to play guitar, listen to Gary Moore"

Holy shit. The greatest ever. Never heard anyone say a bad word about him. Miss you so much.

I love how Moore pays his tributes especially towards the late great peter green,

ONLY person who can make his 🎸 Guitar Cry 😁

This is brilliant. Loved every song and he even tells how to play it. A master with capital letters. Shine Gary Moore.

I was so fond of Gary Moore, I felt like His guitar playing and my soul were on the same vibration level because His music just cut right through me. I remember crying for two days when He passed. I miss you my friend, rest in peace.

NO ONE EVER WILL MAKE THE GUITAR SING,CRY,WHISPER,TALK LIKE GARY DID!!!.TO THE NEW GUITARRISTS:FORGET IT!!!!!,YOU ALL WILL NEVER BE NEAR HIM,SORRY GUYS IT WON´T HAPPEN.

What an amazing man, just an ordinary bloke talking about his life long love of playing guitar like he's nothing special. I loved the line "not doing it for the money " unlike the current reality contestants saying I just want to be famous! A true inspiration, and what a sound.

Besides being a phenomenal guitarist he also had a fantastic blues voice which many have not picked up on

I thoroughly enjoyed that. My guitar hero. Gary Moore. !!!!!!!

Gary was the truest example of an artist dedicated to his art and played exquisitely throughout his time with us. I feel I know a little about him from his musical gift to me.

The greatest guitar god on the planet , taken to soon from us , enjoy his music, we will never see a talent like him again!!!!

i knew his earlier stuff, lizzy, metal, colloseum II but when still got the blues dropped... fucking hell, it's still a face melter.. rip a humble master!

That outro over Still Got the Blues he does at the end is spectacular. "Play something at the end Gary?" "No worries.."

IM CRYING, THE PLANET MISSED THE THE GREATEST TALENT, LIVING IN THE WORLD, GARY HAD A MISSION, HE COMPLETED AND SINCE 10 YEARS AGO HE PASSED, WE MISSED HIM SO MUCH, MASTER REST IN HEAVEN, NO ONE LIKE HIM

The studio version solo on 'Still in Love with You' is still one of my faves.

Respect .

THANK YOU as a near life long Gary Moore Fan!!!!

A song like "Still Got The Blues" touches so many bases for those of us who loved this man and his music. I think every time someone special died in my life, I would play that song remembering the person and knowing that things are ultimately going to be all right. It's a love song about a woman but the intensity of his vocals and the extraordinary guitar playing go far beyond just another blues song. I will always listen to and enjoy Gary Moore's music and for me, it is therapy right when I need it. We all cry over things sometimes and we should. It says we are human. Thank you Gary Moore...R.I. P.

One of the finest to ever join the ranks of true musicianship. Such a great man. Thank you Gary.

What a legend. RIP Gary. Great interview and insight into the man

I have really appreciated Gary's down-to-earth honesty and humility. One of the best guitarists to bless planet earth for sure. He became a part of his music and made it his own. I often wonder how good Gary and Stevy Ray would be if they were still around.

Gary took a back seat to no one...

The best guitarists have all played from their soul, with the tone and feel just shining through. Gary Moore, SRV, EVH, Clapton, BB, Hendrix, Peter Green, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson and others completely fit that bill. These players are ALWAYS a joy to see live because that feeling of soul bearing playing comes across. RIP - Robert William Gary Moore, king of the ROCK blues!

Gary is #1 🙂

my number 1 six-stringer. Gary had it all

What an incredible interview. I now know what Gary's life and contribution to REAL geetar playing is all about. A Real Master!!! True Story!!

If I had to say something to describe Gary I believe it would be a man with a big heart a very genuine kinda of guy without ego or a look at me attitude Gary didn't need that because with that big heart a beautiful voice and his guitar Gary could talk to anyone he would reach people all around the world do I think he was maybe a loaner probably so I can say this today all the fans can truly say Gary WE STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU. thanks for posting this video

Loved his phrasing; so much virtuosity and feeling even at blistering speed and pummeling overdrive. Such a great guitarist.

Gary, you light up my life, true genius and my everlasting love. 🥲😘

We miss you Gary...

What a sweet man.

What a great interview. Seems like a lovely,modest man.

Just the work ethic - the dedication of his entire life to blues guitar - the price of immortality -- Gary paid dearly for the sublime beauty and emotion he evoked from that Les Paul over those years --

super cool interview with Gary Moore...

Ohhh! Doesn't the start of "One Day" just melt your heart! At the end, this is clearly how One Day was meant to end. Not the half-baked version we got on Ballades & Blues which faded too soon. Whoever owns Gary's music now should release the full version of One Day, including the outro solo.

Outstanding!! Thank you!! RIP Gary!!!

From creativity, to feel,, to execution,,, Gary possessed, and commanded the very best of musical qualities.

That guitar sounds like an actual acoustic guitar when played unplugged. Kirk Hammet said the same thing about the guitar. He was impressed by how loud it was acoustically. He struck one Chord and was sold on buying the guitar even at 2 million dollars that really says something about how great that guitar is .

Shear Magic, how cool. Wish I had seen him live!

Best ever...sorry all...

Mr. Robert William Gary Moore Rip 🎤🎸😔😭😢

I have been playing guitar for at least 30 years. I learned to play by ear. Although I have many favorite guitar players, I believe if I could choose only one guitarist to take lessons from, it would be Gary Moore.

A great interview with all the stuffing and trimmings. It's all there at his finger tips. Fabulous. Miss you Gary😢

Could there be anyone a legend in his own right who has such admiration for those he became one of when talking about his life as a blues guitarist

Love the Peter Green moment.

Thin Lizzy was awesome. The first I will never forget hearing Parissienne walkways for the first btime on a juke box in my home town in N. Ireland. I played it about six times in a row that night. I didn't realize Gary didn't have a N. Irish accent until now. He must have left for England at a young age. Not even a hint of his original accent survived.

this guy right here is my all time fav

Genius! RIP Gary 🎸

Thanks for uploading this!

Miss you sooooo much Gary. 🎸🤘🇬🇧😔

Heart on the Street. The name of the song @ 10.35 is "Need your love so bad" it is on the Blues for Greeny album

Gary Moore and Philip Lynott are my Idols and I have learned a lot of different things on the bass guitar just listening to Thin Lizzy and Gary Moores music and I've been playing the bass guitar since I was 12 in my school and through the years I have become a professional bass guitarist just by listening to Gary Moore and Thin Lizzy on CD's so I'm similar to Gary and I learned by ear and I honestly thank Gary Moore and Phil Lynott because without their music I probably wouldn't be as good as I am right now on the bass guitar so thank you so much lads. RIP Gary Moore and RIP Philip Lynott.

These vids. of Gary Moore give people like me a chance to hear what he thinks and only makes my appreciation for him even stronger! When I 1st heard, "Still Got The Blues" hit me in my soul! I knew he was an incredible singer & musician. Your music still moves me!

I respect all the old guard guitar players, but newer, more energetic players have always been my favourite. Gary was bloody excellent. He ripped in an overdrive mode the older guard didn't have. So brilliant player. Those sausage fingers had so much power it was ridiculous. Crazy bends with thick gauges.
