One of my true guitar heroes has passed away today :'(

I remember first hearing Parisienne Walkways on a classic rock album and falling in love with his guitar tone and the way he could make it scream.

It was one of the reasons I learned to play the electric guitar, and I'll never forget that.
I learned the song as quick as I could and still enjoy playing it.

Actually quite upset to read about this :(

A fabulous guitarist, "Still Got The Blues" is still one of my favourite guitar songs, he'll be sadly missed.

Oh noooooooooooooo :(

This is incredibly sad news - Travelling Wilbury's, Thin Lizzy, BB King and many other collaborations were all superb and a testimant to his beautiful 'guitar voice'. As mentioned by SInc, some of his solo work, Parisienne Walkways especially, was so powerful and evocative.

I remember watching countless 'learn guitar with Gary Moore' videos with his tips & tricks helping overcome beginners problems etc.

Very sad news.
