Gary Moore played guitar on one of my favorite albums of all time, “Black Rose: A Rock Legend” by Thin Lizzy. He was found dead in Spain earlier this morning. In honor of his passing, here is the title track of that album, a song that I believe has one of the greatest guitar solos of all time-not in terms of technical ability, although there is plenty of that. I mean in terms of squeezing every last drop of emotion out of the instrument, until the chords end up sweeping you away.

R.I.P., Gary. You were an inspiration.
