For Gary Moore who, despite my determination to the contrary, taught me how to love the blues.
If there was ever a man who had the gift to craft an anthemic guitar solo for rock, pop or blues, it was he.
From Whiskey in the Jar through Parisienne Walkways and Out in the Fields before finally introducing us all to rock-orientated blues with Empty Rooms and I’m Always Gonna Love You, his nimble fingers teased out melodies that wormed their way into the psyche of two generations.
Rest in peace.
He extracted the most amazing solos from his Strat, while making it look effortless – the sign of a truly great perforner.
