A sad loss indeed, I remember an interview some years back when he told of getting his first guitar and the first tune he rehearsed/practised, was Wonderful Land. RIP.

[Arpeggio]

A tragic loss indeed. Great player & thanks for that info Alan.

I was just wondering if any of you do this with your fiesta red Strats

Dont know what he's been doing with it but he's got it in some mess. Maybe an Irish guitarsts thing, Rory Gallaghers was like this too
I watch this with quite an amount of sadness knowing I'll never see him playing again

I remember seeing Gary way back in 1971 in a three piece band called Skid Row at The Wintergardens, Penzance, Cornwall.
He was a brilliant guitarist even then.

I saw Gary at the Albert Hall in the nineties and George Harrison came and jammed a couple of numbers with him including 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' with Gary doing the Clapton bit - just amazing. Well I weep for both of these guys who were taken from us far too early. And, I've just realised - they were both 58 when they died...

Martin.

Such a sad loss.
I saw Gary in concert in Grimsby about two years back and he was just brilliant.
I came home ready to burn my guitars, his speed and touch was amazing.

Check out his beautiful instrumental track entitled 'The Loner'.
I prefer it to 'Parisienne Walkways' and I wished The Shads had covered it.
A wonderful tune that gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

RIP

Apparently he arrived at the hotel on Costa Del Sol with Girlfriend and wanted to have a meal but was too late so had a burger and champagne and spoke with some fans before going to his room and the alarm was raised around 4am.

Guitar legend Gary Moore died of a suspected heart attack, according to a preliminary postmortem examination.

Sad news for the music world Gary was a true legend and will be greatly missed so glad I got to see him play live a couple of times. Just wish I could get my fingers to move 1/10th of the speed his moved at. An absolute genious on a guitar and a very friendly guy
