- Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords of Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Aside from currently being in full-on KISS nostalgia mode, I've also had a ton of requests to feature some of Vinnie Vincent's music (somewhere around 50 requests), so this episode is long overdue and technically the third episode of Chordplay I've created in a row (don't worry, we'll return to "normal" soon enough), so if you're one of the many that has requested some of Vinnie Vincent's music, this episode is totally for you - let's dive in!
This lesson pulls some chord-based and rhythm guitar parts from songs featured on Vinnie Vincent Invasion's two releases, which are both considered essential glam metal classics. This includes sections from songs such as Burn, Ashes To Ashes, That Time Of Year, Boyz Are Gonna Rock, Love Kills, Back On The Streets, and more!
Needless to say, if you're a fan of Vinnie Vincent/Vinnie Vincent Invasion, a KISS fan, a fan of 1980s rock/metal guitar, or maybe a player searching for some interesting and slick chord moves to stick in their bag of tricks - this lesson is totally for you!

THIS IS MY KIND OF VIDEO..
VINNIE VINCENT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GUITARIST...THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO.. I REALLY DO LOVE 99% OF YOUR VIDEO'S..
Brewster - Your channel & lessons are fantastic. Love the performance notes and "Behind the Music" stories just as much as the lessons themself. Please don't ever change your format. It's perfect how it is. I know some may want you to just "shred" for 25-30 mins... but you are a natural teacher, and to teach, you have to of course explain.. and you do a fantastic job of it on each and every video. I promise you all of us subscribers appreciate what you do. Happy Holidays and we look forward to the next video!
Always BREWing Something Tasty For Us! Can't agree with you more😎🎶
Those two albums are chock full of great riffs.
Great stuff as always
No doubt Vinnie's playing was great but there were so many stories about how difficult he was to work with ?? Awesome choice David 🤘👍👏
Kiss guys rag on him and every other player they let go except for Bruce and Bob. Guessing Vinnie had the talent and ego just like Paul and Gene and three's a crowd, as they say. Some of their best post-ace output was with Vinnie imo.
Vinnie Vincent, so much guitar talent and song writing ability but a personality that breaks bands apart, such a pity
I love his music, That Time of Year is still one of my favourite songs to this day.
thanks david these are some killer songs very underrated!! vinnie vincent invasion albums are overlooked a lot and these are some cool chords....thanks again!! \m/
Killer job on these David! Love Kills and That Time of Year are both great tunes 🎵 🎸🤘🏼
You picked great songs. Very cool
Glad to see love kills made the list 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice PRS. I worked for the company for a while and got a USA Core Tremonti as my 2 years of service guitar. Paid peanuts. Sad Vinnie hasnt been able to put anything out in the past 30 plus years. I used to have that instructional VHS. Read Bobby Rocks book of how Vinnie made him re-record all his drums. What a nightmare! Always loved the marriage of Horror and Metal bands on the soundtracks. 🤘
One of the first solos I ever learned was I Wanna Love You on Vinnie’s project Treasure. Phenomenal solo
Finally i been asking for 3 to 4 years. Vinnie Vincent arpeggio lesson would be nice because he uses hybrid picking and his scale runs sound edgy and thrashy in his VHS REH lesson he made in the 80's. Its to bad they didn't make more Vinnie Vincent Invasion album or come out with a live album and unrelease songs or demos, maybe one day they will. The Vocal Melody for both songs Love Kills and That time of year uses certain scale degrees in the vocal melody line that are played against those chords that make the vocal melody sound atypical and eerie. I wish you would have played the vocal melody at the same time as the chords like what jazz guitarist do to learn how advance vinnie vincent songwriting skills
That first riff sounds like a combination of The Immigrant Song and Unchain the Night. 😮
Great lesson David. Lots more guitar players are influenced by Vinnie than they care to admit. Highly experienced and accomplished player even before he got to Kiss. Didn't he play with Dan Hartman in the 70's? Wished he was a bit more under control with his solo's on the VV albums. Some of the riffs are kick-ass. When I was a pimply teen in the 80's, Boyz are gonna rock on MTV was like "WOW"!
Keep it up Dave -- your lessons always bring a smile to my face -- even when the last thing I want to do is play like Vinny Vincent, I still watch.
He is an original, highly creative and gutsy groundbreaker. I'm sure noone reading this or watching him will ever come close that level of talent.
Cool lesson
Another great lesson Maestro, thank you. And anyway I like the first 2 Slaughter records, too!
Also Bobby Rock’s book is great, some cool behind the scenes stories!
I'm not a guitar player, but man I love Vinnie's stuff...this was an interesting watch. The only comment is on That Time of Year for the "quite" part, I believe VV is using a 12 string.
Yes! All Systems Go is a tremendous album, love to hear you do his solos too! 🤘🏼
That riff from the movie was also like goodbye blue sky on the Floyd album the wall.
Yessssssssssssss!
The legend is…or rumor, theory, folklore…belief😉is: Vinnie messed with the tape speed to make his solos appear faster than played…so, in doing so…pitch was changed…resulting in keys uncommon for guitar players…unless you’re Chuck Berry😉
Seen VVI open for Alice Cooper. Also seen Vinnie with KISS on Creatures and Lick It Up tours. Good times.
Awesome video!!! thanks for picking out these songs... I never followed Vinnie Vincent Invasion...
Killer!
outstanding !
Nice lesson. I was never into Vinnie Vincent back in the 80s. I just looked on Spotify and his albums aren't listed. I wonder what's up with that? I am going to sit down and work on these riffs because they are awesome.
Holy H just watching a video of Joanne Shaw Taylor and special guests and at 1st glance I thought the rhythm backing player was you!....excellent player tasty chop... must be Brewster's Millions... sorry i was wrong as i age so does the peripheral vision. keep on keepn' on
Yes Yes Yes!
That Burn killer riff reminds me of the Blackmore riff on the song Knocking at your back door from Deep Purple's Perfect Stranger record (1984). Try and listen to at minute 0:40 of the Purple song and see if I am right or wrong 👍
PS: I have stories, and was there when the "disconnect" happened with the band leaving VV
The 1st Vinnie Vincent album Invasion is so much better than All Systems Go. How about doing an in depth episode of the Invasion album.
The 1st was pure shred. Over the top.
The 2nd actually had some structure and melody.
Don't touch the solos. I don't think even Vinnie knows wtf he was doing sometimes :)
Great lesson and some absolutely monster riffs - absolutely worth checking out the brilliant "Ya Know" (I'm pretty shot) instrumental from All Systems Go.
Yeah Vinnie has some of the most tasteless solos in rock
Alright dude; you gotta do some School of Fish. Please!
Damn Dave this is a "Random as hell" video. COol, but when I saw it I was like Vinnie Vincent Invasion?!?! I mean I know who it is, but I hadn't thought about them in forever.
Lick It Up record still holds up strong.
I remember when Vinnie left KISS I was pumped waiting for the Invasion!!! Loved the first album, the second got lost in the hair '80s.
I also heard a story that he had one of Randy's guitars. Maybe with Dana Strumm involved it could be true. Great lesson Dave!!! Keep up the great work 🤘maybe do an episode on Bruce Kulick, 17 yrs with the band and never a stich of make up. Underrated player for sure
The gold Jackson he had with Kiss was the third one built by Jackson, after the Concorde and the Black/gold Sharkfin.
I think kiss Demoed Back on The streets . I know John Norum from Europe has a version of Back on the Streets
Always was a fan of Vinnie but wish his career would've had a different trajectory. Burn riff sounds a lot like Deep Purple's Knocking at your Back Door 🍻
Ahhh...I see Dave is a master of the slow precise bend. Of course he is...
I remember reading somewhere that the first album tuning was actually E Sharp tuning, must have been tough for the singer.
Na! a good few songs are actually sped up, using the master tape recorder trick…
Hello David. You play power chords like I’ve always played them, with my Index and pinky finger. I feel that this technique has helped me develop a stronger pinky for lead playing, as well. I first heard Back On the Streets music video by John Norum, which I really liked. It wasn’t until a few months later that I heard Vinnie Vincent’s Back On the Streets. I still like John Norum’s version better.
vinnie was a great song writer to bad he didnt do more
Also....Luv Znuff!
I love way more the 1st VVI album, is much more raw and savage imo, and i find curious that almost the entire album is in F standard except for back on the streets if i remember well, i don't know if that was a post-production thing or they actuallu played in F, anyways it sounds more strident!!
He also did a 4 song EP with Robert after Invasion. Boyz was a good song, maybe you do that tapping lick that nobody seems to get.
Loved that first album! Need to check out the second one.
The second one is interesting because half the band eventually became Slaughter and you can REALLY hear it.
: )
@@LateNightLessonsslaughter's always living in the shadows of Vinnie Vincent.
John Norum recorded Back on the streets on his Total Control record, not sure if he wrote it or not though.
You like Budgie Dave? They have some great riffs, super underrated band
Which amp are you using in this video brother? Sounds great!! Diggin it ❤
Bill Bartlett Baby!!
Vinnie is a very good writer. Too bad he’s messed up.
Burn gives me Deep Purple vibes, maybe that's where the name came from?
I really loved that first VVI album. But gotta be honest, Vinnie's REH guitar instructional video sounds horrendous.
His ideas about the fretboard are spergy too.
That's your opinion. I found it innovative and unique. Least he didn't copy anyone else
How bout the chords of Annihilator?
David , have you considered laying down a Vinnie Moore video ? His first two albums were amazing Especially the second one - Time Odyssey .
Hey! I have created two Vinnie Moore Three-For-All lessons.
Here's a link to one --->

And here's the other one I made from VinMan.
I also featured Vinnie in the recent "Hot Licks" rant video.
A legend.
Thanks and ROCK ON!

@@LateNightLessons Much thanks 😀
Could Boyz are Gonna Rock have been played in A and sped up?
All the songs on the first album were tuned half step up. When they played live, everything sounded more natural, since it was played on standard tuning.
@@themechanix8804 not all of the songs, Boys Are Gonna Rock certainly was but a lot of the others were in standard.
@@missyjean6729 I don't think so, all of the songs if you listen to live versions, sounds different.
Basic is best
Vinnie's best talent was being a musician. His calling should have been just a songwriter and producer. Being a guitarist? Honestly, He was just not cut out for it. He was just too hard to work with. So many stories about that. Glad you did this one. Loved All Systems Go.
Dude is a guitarist
I'd expected a 200% sped-up lesson
i saw the Invasion in Charlotte NC opening for Alice Cooper. VVI killed... Vinnie was a fantastic guitarist and songwriter but a terrible person.
1st song reminds me of White Snake 😅
