My band shared a trailer with UFO and Vinnie at Rocklahoma and he is one of the coolest and most incredible players out there. The amazing thing was is that he remembered my name from 10 years prior. Truly a class act!
since the Varney days i've loved this mans playing....and if u listen to the early records u hear no Yngwie influences at all..totally his own style...always that scary precision...this bending tecniqe.... as for speed ..second to none....together with Satriani and Vai he changed my guitarlife forever.....his latest album is amazing
Actually, I once read an interview with vinnie moore where he tells he didn't know anything about yngwie befer developing his classical styles, and that it was inspired by blackmore and schenker...
Love you Vinnie. You are inspiration yourself. A GREAT teacher! I like how you are talking and still fingering notes on the guitar, like some sort of itch. Beautiful. : )
I have always liked Vinnie. He's awesome & what a cool guy too. I really enjoy his music / playing and think he's really under rated but love to see that he's kept playing & putting out music all these years.
This guy has more feel for the guitar than Malmsteen or any other so called shredder . I can remember seeing both Vinnie and Malmsteen for the first time reading through guitar player magazine in highschool . They were both in Mike Varney's spotlight for new talent . Malmsteen hit the scene before Vinnie , so he got the king shred mantel after EVH . I always liked Vinnie's playing more , and I see it's because of his well rounded influences of different styles .
Love you Vinnie!You are a great player and a super nice dude!Love our crazy guitar gear chats and the funny stories about ex band members and so fourth.Keep on rockin my friend talk to you soon!
I think one of the most 'Beautiful' guitar instrumentals EVER written is "As Time Slips By", --Vinnie Moore- On the 'Time Odyssey' album. Really, anything he does is fantastic, and he's always been different from the rest of the shredders, never tried to emulate or copy any of them. True to himself, and his fans.
Havnt seen you in so many years Vinnie! I am a full time musician and have had and still do have a great life thanks to your hot licks video i did when I was 12-16 years old! (It helped for sure). Speed developers lol so under rated but still use to this day. Thanks so much, and your feel is even more incredible today. Thanks for sharing and inspiring! I was watching The Yngwie, Eric Johnson, Frank Gambale, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe hot licks series too..
Vin man!! thanks for sharing nobody is better than anyone music is just notes it's just to be enjoyed oxygen in your lungs and love in your heart is the best Vin man would tell ya God loves you deeply shalom
I looked up the lesson on modes by the 'Vinman' on youtube where he explained everything clearly. One of the most under-rated guitarists of our times, he has such a smooth style of playing.............
@cfv22 yngwie was around just 2 years after vinnie in usa (83), recording whit steeler and vinnie record whit vicious rumors - soldiers of the night in (1985) so i think that they are from almost the same years... and can i say that they play very different and both are my favorite guitarplayers around!!! see you!!
@drone713 Correct me if I'm wrong. In order to have pitch axis, I need a drone note, and the drone note can link different random chords by having the drone note in them. As the chords progress, the tonality changes because they are not related to each other. Therefore, different modes are required for soloing?
@luigiperso Rising Force was released in 1984. You're right his influence is more Al Di Meola (as far as phrasing & technique) but his neo-classical era albums were without question influenced by Yngwie, as well as all the other neo-classical shedders of that time. Before Yngwie there were only hints of classical influences in hard Rock music, with Blackmore & Rhoads as main influences. After Yngwie the flood gates were open. Still Mind's Eye is AWESOME, one of my favorite shred albums.
@chuckyinges Not really, all of those chords are in the key of Eb Mixolydian (he's tuned half a step down). The chord progression only changes changes keys at 2:41 when he's not playing a drone.
@papisNY Yngie and Vinnie are from virtually the same time period (they were born in respectively 64 and 65). Beck, Page, et others were playing either before they were born or during their childhood; so, he mentioned the true pioneers (note that I am not putting Malmsteen down, he is an excellent guitarist).
@chuckyinges Almost. The chords chosen to be played along with the bass note are usually chords of the same note as the bass drone, for example bass drone = A; chord = A major 7, A major 6 #11, A 13, etc. You wouldn't play a B chord over an "A" note, although you could play a B minor chord over "A" but it wouldn't really be functioning as B anymore, it'd really be a harmonization of the Dorian scale as B Dorian is the second mode of "A."
Minds Eye was one of my favorite albums by Vinnie.
Hell yeah bruh same
Vinnie seems like such a chill guy. Love his attitude and his playing is just Top Shelf!
wouldnt say hes underrated, anyone who plays guitar knows how good he is.
I remember mid-80s when Vinnie came out with his early solos albums Very underground and everyone that heard it was completely blown away.
I remember Vinnie back in the day An awesome guitarist He was doing the same stuff malmsteen was at the same time back in the 80s
That guitar is pure quality and set-up to perfection! I WOULD LOVE ONE!

Lovely tone.
This guy has such a nice touch. Great tone.
Vinnie's 'Beck Bends' sounds sweet at 3:48 :)
Though as a UFO nut I'm always going to be a Schenker guy, Vinnie is brilliant player too, undeniably!
i love the chords in this song..and the tone of it..it has such a mysterious feel to it
The riff from Fly reminds me of Van Halens mean streets intro
Great tone, great player.
vinnie is a super nice guy. And what a player!
beautiful chords!!!
One of the true greats, and such a humble guy. One of the great musical crimes that he has never got the wide recognition he deserves.
Awesome playing. Also a great guy.
I learned heaps from Vinman's music. Thanks for posting this.
Thank u Vinnie Moore for the inspiration during my teen years in the mid 80s

what he's telling around 3:40 is SO true. I saw him this week, and he really does that.
Thanks Vinnie for helping me learn the modes in 1990
A truly musical player.

this guy seems like such a cool guy and a great guitar player too!
Love those bends
Great Stuff!
This dude is on another planet.
@TDJonny I hope he plays in Toronto with UFO sometime soon or at few solo performances. Everytime I see they are on tour it's in Europe.
That Fly riff has a Mean Street intro feel to it
I looked up the lesson on modes by the 'Vinman' on youtube where he explained everything clearly. One of the most under-rated guitarists of our times, he has such a smooth style of playing.............
I just saw him play last nite,G-Taranaki NZ,He went off !
New supporter
My dad was lucky enough to buy this guy a beer, I'd love to do the same some day.
I met Vinnie in '95 and he was a complete TOOL. He treated everyone at the gig like an asshole however we got back at him before he left on the bus...
BoogyWoogyCreep what did you do?
thats such a nice guitar
DUDE !! i need to hear the SHREDMASTER!!!! FROM THE VISCIOUS RUMORS!! THIS BLOWS!!
I love you Moore.
Vinnie is and always has been such a tasty player.... IMHO the most melodic of the old Shrapnel guys and always funky :-)
Those are some rock solid influences
I agree 100%, very sad how underrated he is. He's incredibly talented, 1 helluva guitar player !!
@cfv22 yngwie was around just 2 years after vinnie in usa (83), recording whit steeler and vinnie record whit vicious rumors - soldiers of the night in (1985) so i think that they are from almost the same years... and can i say that they play very different and both are my favorite guitarplayers around!!! see you!!
grandissimo chitarrista!!
Nice guitar.
@PerpetualMoon it's a Vinman 2000 signature Dean guitar. They are about 2,500.00
nice chord progression
4:58 technique is Brian May , and you can hear it in tie your modern down although in a subtle and very clever way
I Love vinnie Moore
Mind´s Eye...Still the best shred album ever made(imo)
Baltuc check vinnie's "meltdown" and greg howe self titled very first shrapnel album.
Perfect guitarrist
this guy is the man
Legend

Sooo underrated as a guitar player.
