    Vito was truly one of the all-time greats. Amazing sense of melody and “lyrical” playing

    Dude was a great guitarist and could pull it off live. The preening Mike Tramp typically comes to mind when most folks think of White Lion but those that really appreciated WL were huge fans of Vito. Excellent guitar player who def deserves more credit.

    For me Vito Bratta should be include in the list of top 100 metal guitarist of all time. He is so underrated virtuoso, great as Dimebag Darrell and Paul Gilbert. You can compare his tapping to EVH, although EVH was first to became popular with tapping, Vito's tapping is the best in melodic.

    • @LateNightLessons
      @LateNightLessons  5 років тому +7

      I agree!
      Most guitarists use tapping like a "trick" but Vito used it musically and melodically, which is much harder and WAY more impressive!

    The most beautiful and fluid melodic solos ive ever heard. He was unique....they spoke and had so many emotions attached to those notes! Almost like a renaissance genius. Vito Bratta stands alone in the gorgeous note choosing category and beautiful melodic runs.

  • @jimfromoh8944
    @jimfromoh8944 5 років тому +13

    I put Vito into the same category of Chris Degarmo. It became all consuming to be at the top of their craft they finally just walked away from it. Could be wrong about that, but that was the way it seemed to me. This stuff doesn't just pop into your head, they put a herculean amount of effort into playing to become this fluid with it.

      Chris degarmo has such a cool style really had a big impact on my style a lot of habits I picked up from him that just come out when I write. my little brother pointed it out to me a while back and after listening to my material II was like damn it sounds like a mix of zakk wylde Chris degarmo with a shade of satriani.

    "We tried to do new White Lions with Warren DeMartini and Paul Gilbert and all these others, and no one wanted to do Vito. He was unlike anyone else, he had his own way of doing thing, and plus he was a great songwriter. Had he remained in the business, Vito would have been bigger than Steve Vai and all those types of guys. With him the melody came before anything else, and that’s nothing but the highest praise."

    When ever I watch your Vito lesson’s it leaves me wanting more, excellent lesson, Vito did put the Van halen party happy playing in with Randy’s schooled classical playing I also hear George Lynch in Vito’s playing ex specially the flatten 5th Vito think added one thing to that mixture his own unique chord voicing’s and riffing, main attraction was a great album

      @LateNightLessons  5 років тому +1

      That's really true!
      I always heard the EVH influence, but when I put this lesson together I could REALLY see/hear the Randy influence. There's totally some George and maybe even a little DeMartini in there too.
      I'm not really sure why that didn't pop in my head until now.
      I guess it was sitting around and playing through his music for an entire day that it clicked and I was surprised to notice it blaring in my face the entire time.

      I try to make things as simple as I can, as often as I can.
      Certain things are inevitably complicated or difficult, but there's a mountain of useful information and ideas within reach and those type of melodic chord-tracing concepts are valuable to learn.

    One of the nicest, most astute short guitar videos i've seen. This is coming from an allan holdsworth fan who grew up on metal and who really liked and still does vito. Your observations are really interesting and astute, the randy rhodes, van halen, tesla, etc. Thank yOU!

    Sometimes I wonder if guys like you realise how blessed you are to have found your passion and to have the skill and devotion to it that has gotten you to where you are. My envy is extreme. To be able to play like that effortlessly would make me ecstatic beyond belief. Anyone have a time machine?

    Great as usual. Really enjoy and learn from your vids. It's moving out of the eighties a bit, but I'd love to see you tackle some Dave Navarro. Jane's Addiction blew me away in the late eighties and quickly became a favorite band. Got some some great guitar parts, unique for the times and always served the song. Thanks!

    Really impressed by this lesson! I never thought of Vito as similar to Randy, but after I heard those examples I DO hear Randy in there!
    This guy gets me excited to practice more, but he's so mellow that he kinda reminds me of a really rockin' Mister Rogers.

  • @richb6291

      It made me sad while I put this one together to notice how little there actually is surrounding Vito. I felt it was my duty to put together something special surrounding him and his music. Such a gifted player.

      @@LateNightLessons My sentiments exactly David - it is sad , I listened to him being interviewed by Eddie Trunk a couple of years back on UA-cam and the guy seems so humble and decent - he really deserved greater recognition. I think he would be proud to see you lesson . Welldone.Have a wonderful day buddy.

    Great lesson David,I always thought Bratta was underrated. He always played really tasteful licks and had a great note choice vocabulary.

    • @LateNightLessons
      @LateNightLessons  5 років тому +4

      He really did/does.
      He has a great mind for chord progressions and arpeggios, so he also knows how to solo over chords intelligently and melodically, which is how it seems he was able to always hit the right notes at the right time, all the time.
      Thank you again!

    I just had some great flashback moments of my formative years as a (mediocre) guitarist, when I tried to adapt Vito's playing, which in the end never really succeded.
    But your adaption gave me chills to just try again. And again. What a tasteful player way beyond shred.
    Glad to have found your inspiring channel...
    Amazing playing, btw.
    Cheers, m. 🙂

  • @markwearne8884
    @markwearne8884 5 років тому +1

    Great job catching the essence and feel of his licks. He was so original with his approach and technique some of what you miss is his legato and hybrid right hand technique where you are doing more picking. But that’s why his sound is so his hands.

      I do create PDF tab files for most of these lessons (not the Chordplay lessons though), and I share them on Patreon for channel supporters.
      I felt I needed to give something back to those that are helping to keep the lights on around here, and it's only $5 a month via Patreon if you're interested.

    • @LateNightLessons
      @LateNightLessons  5 років тому +1

      I really didn't notice it until I got in there and my hands got dirty with his music and ideas.
      Once I ignored everything except for the leads and licks (which honestly was really hard to do with those great rhythms - haha) it sort of clicked and I noticed it for the first time.
      I always heard traces of EVH but never really noticed those Randy-based ideas until recently.
      Thanks for watching and ROCK ON!

    Hey David thanks again for another awesome guitar analysis and giving tribute to Vito. I noticed what you mentioned in the beginning part of your vid. I read years ago an article mentioning that Vito in a sense prefected what EVH created. Vito has always been one of my favorite 80s shredders. It would be awesome to see him make a comeback someday. 👍

    • @LateNightLessons
      @LateNightLessons  5 років тому +1
