Blues for Greeny

Blues for Greeny is a rare moment of artistic humility from a guitar hero known for his volcanic intensity. By stepping into the shoes of his idol, Peter Green, Gary Moore finds a deeper, more resonant frequency. The sound is defined by the legendary 1959 Gibson Les Paul that Green himself gifted to Moore: a guitar with a unique, nasal, out-of-phase middle position that creates a haunting, vocal-like quality. This isn't the sound of a man trying to show off his speed; it is the sound of a man trying to capture the ghost of a specific feeling.
