  • Check out Vinnie Moore jamming on “The Maze” and “Rain” from the UFO catalog. He’s using his Dean Vinman 2000 signature guitar running through an Analogman King of Tone into a Marshall JMP 100-watt head and an Engl 4x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s. Stick around for the end for a tour of Vinnie’s studio. Read our review of UFO’s “The Salentino Cuts” in the March issue of Vintage Guitar! READ NOW!! goo.gl/ZbYJKL

    I made a burger for this guy in when I worked at a Five Guys in Delaware, he was in there with his kids. Me and a coworker threw some Vinnie over the sound system to see if it was really him. Saw him tapping on his kids shoulders like "hey thats me on the radio!" and his kid making that "ugh, dad you're so embarrassing" face. Vinnie came up to the counter and asked if there were any guitar players working, we came over and introduced ourselves, got to shake his hand, tell him we thought he was sick. Good day. Good dude. Sick guitar player.

      Too generic these days. Everybody wants to "prove" they are not Alternate picking dudes with a touch of neo-classical so they turn to their "inner blues man", messes up their tonal identity (usually turning to a half dirty "respectable tone") and starts claiming Hendrix influenced, cram in blue licks and legato in their playing, and turn into just another competent skilled guitarist that you can't tell apart from 100000 others.

    I recall back in the day when guitar tuition videos were on VHS this guy was on the overheads in my local music shop. I must have re-watched his introduction solo a hundred times. It was way out of my league but it was inspiring to see what was possible. You can tell Vinnie has studied fusion too which is why some of his chops are pretty sophisticated. He should really be on a G3 tour which would give him some great exposure. Seems like a genuinely nice guy too.

      TOTALLY the opposite. He used to have that beautiful "hollow" tone coupled with that amazing smooth alternate picked technique with the wide vibrato. Now he sounds largely like 100000000 other competent "bluesy/rocky" guitarists. He totally lost his unique identity. In the old "Vinnie Moore Lessons" you heard it was him immediately. Now he could be anybody when you hear him.

      christian larsson this is a fair observation. But don’t be a moron... there aren’t 1000 players on this planet with his technical facility now. Keep it real and he can still play all of his stuff damn near note for note at like age 50. It’s not like he plays easy ass satriani tunes. Gimme a break. He just hasn’t written a great album since defying gravity. But his last couple albums are very good. Certainly by today’s Trash instrumental rock standards. Tosin abasi is trash.

    I recorded myself playing the 1st song back in the 90s on a VHS tape. I used to play through meltdown daily for probably 2 yrs, I had many of the songs down note for note, I wanted to save that tape for prosterity but it was eventually eaten by the VCR. Now 20 yrs later I'm an old man and dont play much anymore, definitely lost my chops, my son will never know how talented his old man was on the guitar. So this video brought back many good memories of when I could shred with best of em. To anyone reading this who plays guitar seriously, dont ever quit, you will grow old and regret it. Thanks for posting this vid vinnie. You've always been one of my favorite guitarists.

      Kind of same here, Jason. Been a musician and guitar teacher for 22 years. Started learning the keyboard when I was a kid, but late with 16 or so spent with guitar 8, 10, 12 hour a day on the instrument daily for years. Was an innocent obsession with being good. Got all my base, articulation and vocabulary with Yngwie (my huge inspiration at the time) 1st instructional video, as well Vinnie's 1&2 (and Odissey album), among others monsters like Marty Friedman, Gambale, Henderson and those gold REH series. Quickly started to teach, being know in the scene locally at 20. Spanish/Classic guitar, metal, rock, fusion.. I was drinking everything musically. After playing in bands and winning 7 festivals then I worked as a music producer in a big company. Then after years of hard work the band got screwed in a big oportunity, fall apart and ended. I kicked it out, quit music and opened a small media production business (not very sucessfully though) and more and more the playing was fading, as well my artistic energy (although I feel way more mature and aware about everything related to music and composition). The stage - in other times a confort place just like home - remained just as a distant memory. Not only "ordinary life concerns" took over with full force, but the coming of age put my perspectives totally different. Questions like "is this a delusional impulse?", "I'm too old for this?". My main guitar is like my playing skills now: dusty, rusty and kinda broken.
      What you said is totally true, it's a good advice for players that achieved a certain level and grabbed my attention because I recorded myself on a VHS too (mostly lost) and mainly about the tender 'concern' of making my future son proud about the talent and history of his old man. I know your feelings. It's like you walked only the half-way down the road, I guess. I feel this like a incompletude, it's like haunting me and I believe to any sensible musician in the same situation.
      A former student of mine (became like an younger brother to me) had some sucess playing guitar in a good band and then totally changed his life and quit playing. Years later I had a serious conversation with him about it and the not so evident consequences of his decision: "at least you MUST record, and while you're young".
      In 2017 I realized that after all that happened I tried to bury the artist inside of me but it's simply not possible, at least not until I 'engrave to stone' my albuns and record my work propperly. And I'll do it, across all the genres that I want, no main commercial intent or to please anyone but for my own good and PEACE. With so many things to do I didn't had the time to do, but I will.
      Here's the deal: grab your guitar start your comeback slowly, record your stuff and I'm putting myself avaiable to colaborate with your project somehow, mixing or playing, helping with something. If you want, just keep in touch. Let's wake up the guitarrist in there at least for one more encore. :D

    Holy whammy bar!! Check out what he does at about the 3:10 mark to 3:18, freaking unreal! I've never seen a guitar player sound like they were tapping but they're not!! He does and it's incredible. Looks like a combination of picking and finger picking and some very ingenius left hand fingering. We're not worthy! We're not worthy!!

    Vinnie, thank you for what you provided other guitar players, and fans of shred guitar music....Indeed the studio is dreamy, and thank goodness you have a nice place as you certainly are a true pioneer of the Blazing Guitar Instrumental Album. Thank you for the look inside your place!! God Bless You!

      @ShredHeadJHJ 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Vinnie used to be Neo-Classical but turned to Blues-Rock. I see very little Jazz influence in his playing.

    • @josephgoudreau7425
      @josephgoudreau7425 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Shred Head well I can hear jazz influences in his playing not all the time but sometimes. Especially during the breakdown solo section for this. You can all disagree it don’t matter no one cares hahahaha

    • @TheGodlessGuitarist
      @TheGodlessGuitarist 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Vinnie demonstrated some jazz abilities in his early instruction videos, but I can't hear any jazz influence in this piece. It's solid rock. There's no freedom in the rythm or harmony. He might have played one or two passing notes, but that is present in most guitar genres going back long before jazz. I would say, I met Vinnie in the 90s, and a few other's like Steve Vai and Frank Gambale. He's one the nicest chaps around. No ego like Vai and Gambale.

    • @josephgoudreau7425
      @josephgoudreau7425 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      AI fan well your opinion is valid, for me in find more jazz influences in only one album I believe it’s self titled

    • @2473739
      @2473739 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Joseph Goudreau it's not jazzy at all. Listen to Greg Howe or Guthrie Govan, they sound really «jazzy».

    It's weird watching Vinnie Moore play again after viewing Robert Marcello videos.. He is such an aggressive player ... Man I was so into Vinnie Moore back in the 80's /90's that I am going to have to see if I can still play some of his older solo stuff again. Awesome post!
