Description
Watch Irish guitar legend GARY MOORE tell the story of his fabled guitar 'Greeny'.
'Greeny' is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, named after its first famous owner, Peter Green in the early 1960's. He used it during his time in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac, before gifting it to Gary Moore in the early 1970s. Moore used the guitar throughout his career, both as a solo artist and in bands, such as Thin Lizzy.
In 2014, Greeny was acquired by Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, who has since used it both in the studio and during live performances.
'Blues for Greeny' was the tenth solo studio by Gary Moore, released in 1995. It is a tribute to Peter Green, guitarist and founder member of the band Fleetwood Mac. The album was recorded using the same 1959 Les Paul Standard Green played on the original tracks.
GARY MOORE unfortunately passed away in 2011.
