Sadly but with great memories the headstone has been placed at Gary's grave.
Rest in peace my friend....

Where is he buried, yng?

St Margaret Churchyard
Rottingdean
Brighton and Hove Unitary Authority
East Sussex, England

This is on the coast directly south of London

I thought Gary Moore would have been buried in Northern Ireland

Man what a sweet open A run he gets into round about 2 mins 50 secs through a Soldano.

Gary has no real ties to Northern Ireland having spent many years in the Brighton area and his immediate family all close by.
His dad still lives in Ireland, his mum in England they are divorced.
I am helping the author of Gary's forthcoming biography Harry Shapiro with info and he is letting me write the technical descriptions, equipment, amps and guitars.
I will be covering the early days until when Graham Lilley took over as his guitar tech in the early nineties.
Yes that version of Separate Ways is simply fantastic. That's a Hot Rod 50 Soldano he is using with his EV loaded Marshall cabs.

My favorite stuff of his is when he does this simple outline of the chords with connecting licks and then sets up the tune and then blazes a solo over it. Bminor to AMaj to GMaj is a good one for him. I thought I was a decent player but I don't think I could stand up there in a club and create such tone with such command and honesty.

my soldano 50 didn't sound that good ! It sounds like an SLO but I do see only two power tubes glowing so must be a Hot Rod 50 - unless two are pulled?

Too bad there is no up n coming players to replace guys like gary. No one even comes close and that includes superficial clones like corporate joe bonnamassa. He's got none of gary's intonation vibrato taste etc. There is no doubt we are entering a dark ages

I still think The above soldano tone tops this one but he sure is getting some good stuff out of a marshall here

awangotango it is definitely a Hot Rod 50 and Gary is running an Alesis Quadreverb for reverb on top of the head.
Yes Gary could take simple chord progressions such as Empty Rooms and expand them into complex thematic ideas all linked together to make absolute sense. As brilliant in his way as any John McLaughlin piece!

"EV loaded cabs" do we know what Elecrovoice speaker in particular that is?

What I find unique to gary was that he was at the top of his game late in life. Imo he was not a genius early on but developed into one. I wouldn't even say he was at that level during corrodors of power which was a pinnacle in it's own way, but by the mid 2000's he had developed all his potential, vibrato, note choice, tone, command, volume swells etc and the way he put it all together with such confidence and feel surely is a rare kind of genius and mastery as much as other greats McLaughlin, eddie, page, Hendrix etc. Not that gary was overlooked while alive but it seems that after he left us, it became more evident to more people what a unique and genius player he was.

For me, Gary was the best at translating real human emotion into melody and riff.

He certainly was a talent that few have matched. I would put Paul Gilbert up there if I had to pick someone.
