Gary Moore

The late, great Gary Moore might have been better known for his electric guitar playing, but the Northern Irish blues icon knew his way around an acoustic, too – and in the mid-90s, his go-to was this O22 from George Lowden.

“There’s only one Nuno and he outdid himself on this record, his solos blow me away,” says Gary Cherone.

The record is Moore’s first release on Southern Lord.

The thrash pioneer on why he wanted Exodus’ new album to explode in your face, the trusty Yamaha that powered the record, and why he will never give up searching for the tone in his head.

He encouraged the band to continue performing while he recuperates.

Moore’s social media posts suggest his backing band might be a bit different this time around.

He recorded on Bill Evans’ Trio 64 and Tony Williams’ Life Time

The record is due for release 25 September under Moore’s own Daydream Library Series.

The event, held by the New York Guitar Festival, is premiering a song a day.

Famed for his critically acclaimed documentaries, Gary Hustwit is also something of a guitar aficionado. Here the partner at Oregon-based Koll Guitar Co tells us about trading guitars at age 12 and how music inspires his films.
