Moore's greatest influence in the early days was English guitarist Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac who was a mentor to Moore when performing in Dublin. Later, having seen Jimi Hendrix , Roy Buchanan and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in his home town of Belfast, his own style was developing into a blues-rock sound that would be the dominant form of his career in music. After joining the group Skid Row with Noel Bridgeman and Brendan "Brush" Shiels , in mid , cutting a number of singles and an album, released in , Skid Row then went on to play shows across Europe and the US, opening for a number of high-profile bands.
It was with this group that Gary Moore earned a reputation in the music industry, and his association with Phil Lynott began. Moore left the band in December In , Moore moved to England and remained there, apart from two short periods in the United States.
In January he re-joined Lynott, when he first joined Thin Lizzy after the departure of founding member Eric Bell. Moore stayed until April; the band recording three songs with him in that time, including the version of " Still in Love with You " that was included on the band's fourth album Nightlife. From to August , he was a member of Colosseum II.

Moore soon formed his own band G-Force , recording an album for Jet Records , but the project was short-lived.
A couple of other albums were made at this time, but not released until after Moore had signed to, and found some success with, Virgin Records in , and had released the album Corridors of Power. During the s, Moore released several heavy metal records as a solo artist, beginning with Corridors of Power in , which were followed by Dirty Fingers and Victims of the Future the following year.
Dirty Fingers had been recorded already in , and with an entirely different band. It represents Moore's last attempt at finding somebody to sing his songs; he would sing on all later solo records.

Moore continued in a slightly more commercial direction with the album Run for Cover , which was released in This album was the final cooperation between Moore and Phil Lynott — front man and bassist in Thin Lizzy, who died early the following year — as well as being the final album to feature him that was released in Lynott's lifetime.
The album's first single, " Out in the Fields ", was a major hit in the UK and Scandinavia, a minor hit in Germany and the Netherlands, and set the stage for Moore's greatest commercial successes later towards the end of the decade. The ballad " Empty Rooms ", which earlier had appeared in a less polished version on the Victims of the Future album, became a particular fan favourite, and it was the track from this era of his career that Moore later appears to have been most fond of.

Moore's album Wild Frontier launched him as a super-star through much of Europe. Both the album and its first single, "Over the Hills and Far Away", topped the charts in Norway and Finland, and the album did tremendously well throughout Western Europe, but failed to make much of an impact in the United States, where Moore's heavy metal albums were never well distributed.

Seeing the success of this album, Moore decided to restart his career around what was originally conceived as a one-off stylistic departure.

Moore ultimately purchased the guitar, at Green's request, so that "it would have a good home". In , he performed a guitar solo for a cover of the Beatles ' " Let It Be ", which was released under the group-name of Ferry Aid.
