My influences were also the Beatles and the Beatles.

Gary played in my group The Deltones in 1966 and he bought my Guild guitar, before leaving to go to Dublin.

Gary and Rory Gallagher were proper friends. Gary went and visited Rory near the end of his life when he was going through a hard time while living in a hotel in London. RIP to both of them. I started playing guitar because of Rory.

Gary moore is the person who made me love guitar, in my eyes he is the best in the world I grew up with Gary's albums I've never cried for someone I do not know personally but when Gary died I cried ,i have actually cried 2 times The first was Gary second was Nick Menza drummer .The world has lost the best gutsrist RIP GARY MOORE

The 'Greeny' Gibson was offered to Snowy first who returned it stating he wasn't worthy. I interviewed Gary 3 times - always fun ,up, and a gent.

There will never be another guitarist to play with such emotion and power!

I remember watching Gary Moore for the first time on ‘the Tube’ TV show with his red Strat, the tremolo arm spinning wildly. The man was so determined to produce an awesome performance putting heart and soul into it; which i thought was clear in his 2003 live Sheffield gig.

Thank you for putting this together Goose! ! Was in Atlanta Ga 1992 new wife new baby, playing my 74 Les Paul Custom thru a FULL 74 SL Marshall stack, w/a Korg A3 as a od pedal, In an APARTMENT....nailing STill got the Blues tone.. :) How we made it out alive was a divine appointment! :)

Ah man , outstanding musician and I love everything ive heard from Gary Moore. Great video love it. Thanks

My favorite guitar of Gary's is the 1984 Hamer explorer at 17:48 what a gem, beautiful guitar

One of my all-time favorites! Saw him a bunch of times and met him once at an autograph signing at Tower Records in (I think) 1986 in Stanton (or Buena Park) California. He and the band all signed my Ibanez Roadstar RS-440 and my "We Want Moore album. Both hang on the wall right above my head as I type this. :)

That HAMER Special at 18:18....I had a bright red one in 1982 with a Floyd Rose and ebony fretboard ....and I LOVED that guitar! Wish I still had it.

How you found all this out is quite amazing. Talk about knowing your stuff. Well done Sir.

Outstanding video! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Outstanding work. A monumental loss.

Guitars, guitars, and moore guitars. Great stuff. Love the in-depth history of the guitars that have passed through this man’s musical hands. 👍✌️

Saw Skid Row supporting Atomic Rooster with support by Genesis at Exeter Uni' In the early 70's, Gary did a solo slot playing Drums and Guitar at the same time, also saw him promoting Grinding Stone at Killerton Gardens where after me and a couple of mates had invaded the stage he got us to "sing" backing vocals on Mama tell your Daughter. Happy daze.

Great great archive digging... excellent 👍🏼❤️

very cool video, I was fortunate to see Gary when he toured the USA, after Victims of the Future I saw him using the white reissue Strat and the Junior that was 1984, then when Wild Frontier came out he toured through NY in 87, he used the white and red single p.u. Charvels only. Then in 1992 at The Beacon in NYC, he used mostly "Stripe", white Strat reissue and "Greenie". Thanks for sharing, appreciate all that you do!

Saw Gary play with Skid Row in 70' and it changed me, it was a great gig and Gary for the most part had his eyes closed, all I could see was these fingers flashing up and down the fretboard whilst his head was bobbing about with his eyes shut, I was gone, and the crowd were silent for a change with their jaws hanging down. From that night I have always tried to find how Gary played so well and get the tone. It's been a great journey.

It's depressing hearing about all the stolen guitars

Gary Moore is a big Influence on me I'm a 21 year old left handed Guitarist from the South Wales valleys and RIP Peter Green and Gary Moore RIP. You can a video on Phil Lyontt's bass guitar and you can do Sott Gorham from Thin Lizzy please he's AWESOME Guitarist.

Thanks, Ramon. Big Gary fan here. This was awesome. Cheers

Fantastic!!!! I'm a MASSIVE Gary fan. Think you've done a truly fantastic and very thorough job, enjoyed every minute! Now do Gary's amps ;-)

Wow! Didn’t expect to see one of my all-time favourite bands to show up at 4:50…Van Der Graaf Generator!!

Gary Moore is my favourite guitarist of all time. He was a lefty playing guitar right handed. I am right handed playing lefty guitar (for 40 years)

As old as I am. I can clearly remember the New Zealand Tour of Thin Lizzy. Feeling privileged to attend the sound check. Lynott and Moore, truly great performing artists and musicians. Great detailed history about Gary’s Axes. Thank you.

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for posting

Thank you for this! It answered some questions I’ve had for a long time!

It‘s worth mentioning that the white „We want Moore“ strat now belongs to John Norum who in my opinion is very much Gary‘s musical successor.

Thanks so very much for sharing all this with us. And very best wishes to you from County Antrim Northern Ireland 🌌💕🌠👍

I think this is the most comprehensive history of Gary Moore and the Greeny guitar that I have ever seen!!!! Thank you so much. I have had to favourite this video because I will need to see it again. Probably tomorrow morning. Edit: This is probably the best piece of musical journalism I have ever seen. Kudos to you, Sir. I have learned more about Mr Moore in your video than I have even learned before. Thank you.

Amazing stories bro also deep research as usual so full of info , proud to be watching the great show always 👌

I met Gary Moore in the eighties he bought a house in shiplake Henley I was the plumbing and heating engineer who done his house a very quite person did not say a lot

The "Greeny" Les Paul is probably the most famous guitar in the history of electric guitar.

Gary Moore is my favourite guitarist, I'm lucky enough to have seen him live quite a few times.

Gary was amazing ,always in my heart.amazing guitarist.Great video👍Thank you

I can remember breaking a B or E string as a kid and tying a square knot to mend the break and hope that it held while I tuned it up. A new single string was 25 cents that none of us could scratch up at the time, but we never gave up!

I had a Hamer Gary Moore special back in the day... 1980s. These days I have a vintage lemon drop, a vintage 62 icon red Strat fitted with Hendrix guage strings , a sunburst tokai Firebird V with Gibson mini's, also a red Korean Firebird VII with vibrato and all gold hardware, also a vintage SG junior and a Marshall DSL 5 combo for the bedroom😎🤘👍🌈

Not only an excellent history of his guitars but of the great Gary Moore I've noticed through out my life: People either loved him or didn't. So called "musicians" I've met. Even fans who really didn't understand what he was all about. Great video, Ty!!!

So happy/lucky to have found your channel. Great history 🍺

Wonderfully in-depth as usual, Ramon! Thank you for posting

Had to pause the video just to say thanks a lot for making this video. It was a very good source of information for this legendary guitar player and his iconic guitars.

A superb, very well researched video, thanks!

As always - brilliant. Thanks Ramon.

Most people associate Gary Moore with the 59 Les Pauls,but totally ignore that he played vintage Strats just as much. He recorded the "Corridors of Power" album,almost exclusively with the "Salmon Pink" Strat,which is nowadays owned by his son,along with the 59 "Still Got The Blues" or "Stripe" L/P. Not to mention during the 80s,he used lots of Superstrats and was one of the first famous players,using PRS Cu 22/24 models. He was also an avid user of the Floyd Rose bridge system,during this period.

I really miss Gary Moore.

The red strat was used on "Blues for Jimi" and Live in Stockholm on some of the songs, "Empty Rooms" for example, I believe. Absolutely love the sound. By far my favorite Gary's sound with the Greeny Les Paul. Just floors me.

The one live gig I really loved was the monsters of rock gig 2003 and then of course I saw him play the red Strat at the Strat pack gig in 2004. I was also lucky enough to get tickets for the Brighton Dome 2 years running...2008/2009 I think!

Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

Thanks for all the hard research . Amazing content dude !

I can't tell you how awesome I think this video is!! A couple weeks back, you posted that you would be doing this video. And I have been really anxious to see this. And it exceeds all I have anticipated! Gary was a force of nature on the guitar. He had so much fire and passion and yet could play a ballad so delicately and beautiful that it was hard to believe it was the same person. And as we know, he could play so many styles of music. Once I heard Corridors of Power when it came out, I was hooked for life. But he was also a great writer, great vocalist and live player. You have shown quite a few guitars I was not aware he owned. I was particularly interested in the details on the '61 Fiesta Red Straotocaster. I am very fortunate to own one of the Fender Masterbuilt Gary Moore tribute versions of this guitar. There were only 60 made and because my favorite music store: The Music Gallery Inc in Chicago IL knew how much I love Gary Moore, they gave me the chance to buy it. More importantly right now is - Thank You for this awesome documentary! You are creating some of the finest guitar videos on KZfaq. Thank you Roman!

Good to hear from you, Ramon. From your last video I thought we wouldn't be hearing from you for a while.

Fantastic detail on this,Ramon ! Thank you so much [again !]

Absolutely brilliant and informative, a great listen.

Great video Ramon. Such attention to detail. I had no idea about the majority of his guitars ...until now ! 😉👍

The Late Gary Moore (R.I.P), was a brilliant guitarist and vocalist.

Such a great video. Thank you

This is incredible and thanks for all your research loved it

Great video! Cheers!!

Well, that was a trip. Black Rose first. The modded Melody Maker. on the sleeve Aus shots (Vid of Sydney here) saw Gary for Wild Frontiers. WolfGangs, SF Place burned down days later. Lore among locals, "GM lit it up". sad for the venue. KILLER show !

Great video! Thanks for posting.

Wow ! lots of hard work in this ..

MY #1 PLAYER OF ALL TIME , ALFRED NYC/PR

Thanks Ramon. Awesome video

I just bought a 61 SG and never knew Gary played one. I have all heavy Les Pauls but the SG I just bought blows them away! It weighs 6 pounds and I love it

I am a huge Gary Moore fan thank you very much for this well researched presentation.

I now own the Gibson Les Paul Double Cut (30 mins 37 seconds) I bought it around 2007 from GAK in Brighton. It had huge strings on it that has twisted the neck a little but it does sound good.

What a great history! Thank you so much. Comprehensive.

Thank you 🙏 Informative as usual .... have a nice day ♥️

I've heard the red charvel actually had an EMG 58 rather than an 81 initially, but was later swapped to the 81 to match the while one. From what I've seen online, he auctioned it off for charity sometime in the 90s. I think the estate may still have the white one. The two of those are definitely my favourite guitars of Gary's :)

Man... this is great deep historical work you did! 👏👏👏

Very thorough and informative video

Why so many guitars? He must have kept his tech busy! I have 6 and it's all I can manage! Great player. Great video. Love the 61 in the Jack Bruce video.

Yessiree-boy (love all of these'ere "Guistories") (!) Gary's interview/demo's always 'take me back to school' My 2nd watch, and even better'n the foist... ...an'nah canna thank ye enoof 😁

Super interesting video, I was hoping you would mention the guitar used on the Victims of the Future tour e.g as seen on the Live at Chippenham Gold Diggers 1984 video featuring IMO the best ever version of Hold Onto Love, amazing solo at the end of the song

Gary gave me the idea, to buy a guitar in my older days. 😢

Some incredible research here. Great job fella. 👍

Gary's tech said his 61 was stolen either on the way to or while on tour in America. Gary sent him to pawn shops along the tour to buy a few guitars including a replacement strat for the 61. He found a reddish 84 strat that Gary really liked and it was that 84 that he played Red House with at the fender strat 50th anniversary concert. What a performance! If Jimi Hendrix could stand and shout he would have.

Awesome thanks!!

Amazing research, well done. One guitar not mentioned here was another Charvel, a dark green Strat type thing with one (bridge) pickup that he used on the first Greg Lake tour. Unfortunately my ticket stub for the night that I went (Hammersmith Odeon in London) has the date 30th October then the year got torn off! I would assume that this in 1981 as that is the year Grey Lakes LP came out and I know they were on tour that autumn. Now this guitar sustained a bit of damage that night as after hitting the last chord of the gig Gary threw the guitar into the air and walked off stage leaving the guitar which came crashing down on the exact spot he'd only just been standing on. I spent the entire gig leaning on the stage so was only about 30 feet away and had already deduced by this time that Gary was in a very angry mood by this time for whatever reason? The guitar didn't break but would have sustained at least a nice big dent at a minimum. Gary played gloriously that night, using mainly the green Charvel but also the Salmon Pink Strat for Parisienne Walkways etc. the only non Greg Lake/King Crimson number they played that night. A very nice and interesting video, many thanks.

Very very nice work !

Great video Ramon well worth the wait .I know it would be difficult but I would like to see eddie van halens guitar featured in a video or maybe pete townsend. Anyway here's hoping keep up the good work

Great, thanks Ramon !

Incredible, ireplaceble Man in the world music history. Just adore his Blues Alive album of 1993. Empty rooms, Midnight blues, Still got the blues, Parisienne walkways, The story of the blues, Separate ways and mаny other songs...

thanks man! wild story about his case and les paul!!

Saw Gary a few times brilliant he was very interesting story of his guitars over years rip gaz

Very well done & very interesting.

Fascinating and very in-depth...

Love the videos!

I've got an old Guitarist magazine from about 1992 where they had an article on his guitars and one of them was a 1957 gold top, which I don't think you mentioned.

Excellent video!!!

He was raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland

Amazing player !!

I'm trying to find a photo of Gary using or even a shot of the guitars with his Pink Strat with EMGs and a Floyd Rose, it was a partscaster built out of a few guitars and mainly used as a backstage/rehearsal instrument I believe. I still have it here as his tech sold a 335 and this strat in or around 1993-94 and i bought it before it even made it to the guitar shop floor.

Great video mate ! I heard that Gary owned an "old" LP Goldtop that he supposedly gifted to Henrik Freischlader years ago. Have you or anyone else heard or read this ?

Thanks so much for this.....I now own the last guitar featured (the one that was used for the “bad for you baby” photo shoot (Les Paul Standard 58 reissue, 2001). Do you have any other information about when it was played by Gary?

Thinking back at Gary's music... He was left-Handed?!💥😎🙏

Great research with a lot of work

Very well researched Ramon! A couple of points just to add for info - Gary also used another guitar on tour with Greg Lake - a metallic red Charvel (?) Strat type with 2 humbuckers, tremolo and a maple neck (l have some photos). Also, the leopard print guitar finish was definitely fabric, not painted - l remember Gary saying that it stank (!) after using it on stage when G-Force supported Whitesnake on the UK tour. I didn’t see any of the shows but do remember seeing a live photo when a gig was reviewed (probably in Sounds) and reading his comment later :).
