Blues for Greeny is the tenth solo studio by Irish guitarist and singer 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. Green loaned and then sold the guitar to Moore after leaving Fleetwood Mac.
