Today I feltt like talking about music, so I've decided to talk about my favourite guitar player of all time, Gary Moore,who I also think is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
He was born in Northern Ireland and is mostly known for being the guitar player of Irish hardrockers Thin Lizzy for some time, but he's so much more than that. He was originally influenced by guitar players such as Jimi Hendrix started his music career with the Blues Rock band Skid Row (not to be confused with the 80's Glam Metal band of the same name) and managed to record two albums, none of them were succesful. After his short stance in Thin Lizzy, he started his solo career, playing mostly hard rock in his first era, during this era, he touched upon some heavy subjects that were afecting the world and his own country in songs such as Hiroshima or Murder In The Skies. His solo career changed a lot after he decided to record purely Blues music, recording his hit ballad Still Got The Blues, this is the sound that would give him more recognition in the world of music, he even was able to play with the blues legend B.B King. Gary Moore sadly passed away on February 2011 but he left quite a musical legacy.
In spite of not being as well-known as Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton, he was a man of great talent, managing to play from anger and desperation-filled hard rock, to epic celtic folk influenced rock to pure heartfelt blues, in my opinion, he was both great in technique and feeling, he moght not have been the most techical guitar player in the world but the feeling he poured into every single song he played has, in my hummble opinion, not been matched yet.
