Gary Moore took up guitar at the age of 10, moving from his native Belfast to Dublin at the age of 16 and becoming a professional player. While living in Dublin in the late 1960s, he caught all the latest bands live; John Mayall&rsquo;s Bluesbreakers, Jimi Hendrix and Cream amongst others. However, Gary&rsquo;s biggest influence was Fleetwood Mac&rsquo;s Peter Green who would become something of a mentor to him, later selling him his famed 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. This now legendary instrument, which Gary would call &lsquo;Greeny&rsquo;, features on many early Mac tracks, much of Gary&rsquo;s blues work and now resides with its latest owner, Metallica&rsquo;s Kirk Hammett.Gary was one of the fastest, most fiery rock players out there, but he was also versatile, turning his hand to jazz-rock in the 1970s with Colosseum II and eventually returning to his blues roots in the 90s. His playing still packed a punch though, and his high-volume, high gain soloing style remained largely unchanged. This month&rsquo;s tab examples are based on Gary&rsquo;s later blues recordings, with a couple paying tribute to his melodic playing on ballads like Still Got The Blues and Parisienne Walkways.You&rsquo;ll want to dial in a reasonably high-gain distortion tone to play the examples this month, and preferably use a humbuckerequipped guitar.
