Despite an expansive CV that includes a stint in Thin Lizzy, collaborations with Greg Lake and George Harrison, it’s a fiery, aggressive blues style that will forever be Gary Moore’s trademark.
Peter Green was both mentor and a key formative influence for Moore, who bought Green’s uniquely-wired 1959 Les Paul Standard in 1972 and played it for many years until it was sold in 2006.
