So farewell then Gary Moore, taken from us at the tragically young age of 58.
I'm too shocked to say much. The man was that rarest of guitar players, one with taste, tone, touch and the ability to make you scream "Holy Fuck!"
I've played his songs on stage almost as long as he has and I shall miss him greatly.
Forgive me if I pay tribute by posting myself playing the song he'll be most remembered for.
Rest in peace, Gary.

That is very sad, you bought me the video of some of his work. and you know how I love you playing Parisienne Walkway..
I too am sad, sad, sad.. I thought of you instantly when I heard the news on the way into work this morning.
I suppose we should be grateful that he left us such a lot of great music.
A very sad day, though.
I have always loved this recording of yours (and by always, I mean for three or so years since I first heard it). It's always a shame when our heroes disappear.
Thank you, Robyn. He was a real inspiration and very sorely missed.
Your recording of Parisienne Walkway is a wonderful tribute to a great guitarist. He will be missed.
Thank you, Ms.M. I must have played that song (and a few more of his) thousands of times on stage over the decades. A good tune never grows stale.
Nice tribute. "The Lord of the Strings" title seems to fit.
Cheers, Mark. He was a truly inspirational player.
Bittersweet. ... RIP, GM.
Amen, Lucio.
