Gary
Moore (born Robert William Gary Moore, 4 April 1952, in Belfast, Northern
Ireland) is a guitarist. In a
career dating back to the 1960s he has played with bands/artists including Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II, Greg Lake
and blues-rock band Skid Row as
well as having a successful solo career. Among many cameo apperances over
the years, he performed the lead guitar solo on "She's My Baby"

Moore started performing
at a young age, having picked up a battered acoustic guitar at the age of
eight, and got his first quality guitar at the age of fourteen, learning to
play the right-handed instrument in the standard way despite being left
handed. His career has lasted over thirty years.
