“Gary Moore was a far better blues guy and much more versatile player Clapton. Moore was able to play outside the box.”
Totally agree, employed altered chords, chord extentions, hot jazz chord patterns, like T-bone used to do. Allman bros took a page out of the T-bone Walker library also.
Moore used a Bmin7b5 in a 5 of 5 pattern in Still Got the Blues, a blues masterpiece. Not your usual rock fare. Just one example of his virtuosity.
