It's impossible to say who is or was the best guitarist in the world, although Gary was obviously top notch. This next point is not aimed towards Gary but there are probably session musicians that the vast majority of the general public have never heard of, yet they are better players than many more famous than they are.

Gary Moore is my favorite guitar player. There are several others with the same technical skills, but no other could make the guitar cry like Gary. It is like tears are dripping off it. He was a powerhouse of talent. A force of nature. RIP.

I can tell you what kind of guitar that is. It's a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. It has a name, "Greeny",it first belonged to Peter Green, founding member of Fleetwood Mac, then owned by Gary and is now owned, and still played on stage, by Kirk Hammett of Metallica, who reputedly paid $2 million for it.

Whenever I see Gary play, especially live, I just get a tear in my eye. He was just so soulful and he really felt the music. You are right that he started off as a rock guitarist with Thin Lizzy and went along the hard rock route in the 80’s. His 1984 album, “Victims of the Future” was fire and full of heavy riffs and solos but when he came out with “Still Got the Blues”in 1990 it was quite a shift in genre. He had played similar bluesy style songs such as “Parisienne Walkways” and “The Loner” in the past but he really let his inner ‘bluesman’ with this song.

His biggest influence when he was younger was Pete Green, the great blues guitarist with fleetwood mac. That's where he got his famous Gibson Les Paul guitar from.

When the guitar playing is as emotional as the lyrics....you know its something special.

I had the privilege of seeing him live in a small town in England. He was just incredible. There are a lot of songs that I really love and when people say that they don't share my feelings about them, I can understand it. But for this one, I don't understand how people can't love it. A failing of mine no doubt.

Gary Moore, one of the all time GOATS, a phenomenal guitarist as you have just witnessed. He's passed the other reactions by, so a huge thank you both for bringing him to the fore 👏👏👏 I hope you get to do some more. 👍

Congratulations guys, that was a great reaction. Gary was in my humble opinion the best guitarist ever to walk this earth. He still remains vastly underrated and generally unknown and it is people like yourselves who are pushing both his name and brilliance to the fore. He really does deserve to be a 'household name' and be remembered for his awesome talent. Of course his vocals were pretty dammed good too! You are quite correct in saying that he was also a rock guitarist before switching (or to be more accurate), returning to the blues in 1989. But Gary could play any style he wanted to from Blues, Rock, Jazz Fusion and even Neo-classical. I have been playing guitar for over 50 years now and have been lucky enough to see many, many fantastic guitarists including the Great Jimi Hendrix when I was 14 years old. Without Jimi we probably wouldn't have had any of the great guitar players we have or had. But Gary just had that something very special. His playing touched your soul. Could you please react to Gary Moore The Messiah Will Come Again Live. I have included the link below: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZ9kmcxwfMayodo.html Here you will see a true master at work. Every aspect of guitar playing is here including bends, pull-off's, hammer-on's, palm muting, violining and more. R.I. P. Gary. Thank you and I really look forward to seeing your reaction. Kindest regards to you from England. Cheers.

Gary left us (6 February 2011) a decade ago. He's up in Rock 'n' Roll heaven playing with his good friend bassists Phil Lynott (died: 4 January 1986) from Thin Lizzy once again. That would be great if Cozy Powell is the drummer.

Gary Moore is great! First time ever I heard a song of him was in the "C&A Young Collections"-commercial back in 1991, which was screened before a movie at the cinema. I was young and I was stunned! Never heard anything like this before! Wow!!! I don't remember the movie, but I do still remember the commercial! ^^+gg btw: the song was: "Walking by myself" ... ♥

Wow !!! what I saw in this iconic musical performance, is not only mind blowing skills; but real pain . He lives his personal loss on that guitar. He was literally crying his heart out on his guitar. This was not only a musical performance; but someone pouring his heart out on a stage . I have NEVER senn anything like this. (Now he is in a place where he's experiencing the immensity of God's Unconditional Love. Rest in peace, brother Gary)

So glad you guys enjoyed the video. I had the pleasure of seeing Gary live twice when I lived in the UK and he was phenomenal!!!

He was in Thin Lizzy in the 70s then went onto a killer solo career, try Don't take me for a Loser, Cold Hearted and End of the World.

WOW This was my ring tone for two years. Two months ago I changed it to ELP's " Karn Evil Nine 2nd impression." The GOAT on piano. Gary Moore was a great guitar player. Next I would do Alvin Lee "No Limit". or from Woodstock "I'm going home" when he was Ten Years After. His "I'd Love To Change The World" has recently been used on TV for either a commercial or a show, I am not sure which. You have probably heard it and know it as the back ground to the 70's.

Gary has a lot of songs in this genre...Empty Rooms....etc....The Miesha Will Come Again is probably the best..
