Gary Moore was a phenomenal musician.

Today I want to share with you one of his AMAZING blues guitar songs.

It’s slow…

It’s groovy…

And it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!

This is the kind of song you can easily picture being played in a smoky dark club well after midnight.

It’s a minor blues, and the rhythm part mixes a riff and some sweet chords together.
