I love Vito's playing. Very melodic, with blasts of speed mixed in. He wears his VanHalen influences proudly. He was much more than a VH clone. But he's finished with the music business.
@stk He also had a left hand injury that caused him extreme pain when trying to play electric guitar. He described it as “electricity shooting up his arm” on his Eddie Trunk interview. He now only plays acoustic guitar occasionally. One of the top guitar minds ever. Shame that he can’t share his gift with us anymore.
I bought White Lion Pride and TNT Tell No Tales on the same day when I was a teenager in the 80’s. It was so much more fun discovering music before iTunes. Having to buy albums and you’d listen to them from start to finish until they were worn out. Hate when cds came in and Lps and cassettes were fazed out. Now with live streaming you don’t even get the album cover and inner sleeve to look at. Really takes away from the whole experience of listening to music
Bro - that was a he11 of a day...... getting both of those albums on the same day!!! Wow. You hit the jack-pot my man. Those were great days. I remember the anticipation, and then picking up my new music. It was my driving force back then. Great music. Great times!
opening the cellophane and that new smell of the vinyl and looking over every inch of the sleeve for hidden secret messages .................just not the same anymore
I’ve got nothing but respect for Vito Bratta, as a guitar player and as a person. Vito is so creative and melodic on the guitar. Sure, he uses many of the techniques that EVH used/pioneered, but the bottom line is that Vito used these techniques as tool to create beautiful melodic music, not for some technical gimmickry or to try to be an “EVH clone” (which would be impossible, anyway). I’ve heard Vito mention melodic musicians like Elton John and Journey as big influences. Also, Vito had insane technical ability/chops, which made it easy to put him in the 80’s shredder category, but his music is so much more than that. Of course, we’d all love to hear him play guitar again. From what he has said in interviews, he’s had a combination of family responsibilities and injury that have prevented him from re-committing himself to guitar. You gotta respect that. This is not a guy who takes guitar lightly-in interviews, Vito has said that he’d get home from a show at 4am, and still practice for another few hours. And, Vito has too much integrity to do some half-assed reunion tour only for the $. Still, I’d love to hear more from Vito, so I hope that he re-surfaces publicly. Who knows, maybe one day he’ll put out some instrumental music? Whether he is playing publicly or not, there’s no question that he has a musical gift and I’d love to hear the musical ideas in his head, whether in the style of White Lion or not. Thank you, David, for the deep dive on Vito! There’s so much to be learned from Vito, and you break it down and analyze it in a way that makes sense! Well done!
Vito has always been one of my favourite players. I remember being in the car, listening to Pride on my Sony Walkman on trips to see my aunt and uncle. When I learned to play guitar, I was still perplexed by his style. Incredibly melodic, and yet incredibly rhythmically complex. An absolute BEAST. A suggestion for Chordplay? Canada's own SAGA. Ian Crichton is such an underrated player, and Saga has so many beautiful songs.
Absolutely! The whole "The Security of Illusion" album is just filled with a playbook of how to make a guitar solo stunning and beautiful at the same time. Vito and Ian are both in my top 5 players of all time list... Cheers, m. 🙂
The story about Vito, as I recall it, was that just as White Lion was starting to make it, Vito's father became very ill. Vito, admirably, gave up on his fledgling stardom and returned home to Staten Island, NY, to help take care of his parents. Some time later, while practicing classical guitar, he suffered a terrible injury, I think it's called a compartment hemorrhage, and this took him away from playing possibly altogether, though I don't know for how long. Later I heard that he switched gears and entered the real estate industry and eventually made millions there. But his solos in the songs Wait and Little Fighter are the stuff of legend. Also, let's hear it for that redhead in the video for White Lion's cover of the Golden Earring song Radar Love. 😍
Vito bratta is a unicorn, you can't believe someone like that existed and produced some of the most beautiful rhythms, and melodic solos ever. The WAIT solo is pure melodic genius. I haven't heard anything that gorgeous since...I mean each note belongs, and melts together so precisely well... Incredible!
I miss Vito and the music he gave . I think White Lion was such Dream he was living out he was broken by what happened , Come back Vito !!! David as always , I really Enjoy !! Great Work and Thank You !
I am freakin so glad i caught this 2nd part of lessons of the great Vito Bratta and White Lion. He has amazed me for many many years and yes it would be so awesome to hear anything from Vito. This ia a great video my friend and this great band and amazing guitarist deserve this. Thanks so much and maybe at some point a part three. Vito had some amazing looking strats i loved the pink one with 2 humbuckers and the sunburst one among others. Just loved everything about this guys. Tone style gear etc. 💙💜🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
The more of this lesson I hear, the more I'm sure that Vito is NOT an Eddie Van Halen clone. He has plenty of original musical vocabulary!!! Beautiful stuff!!!!
Its such a shame that he will not come out an play.I only got to see them play live once . He killed it live made it look effortless. Thanks so much for showing us his riffs.
I was a young player in the late 80's growing up with Bay Area thrash players. A bunch of us would get together and jam to Metallica, Slayer, King Diamond, Priest, Maiden. But I always love the style like Vito's where the guitar was always moving à la "Little Fighter", not just playing quick palm-muted double or down picking. I hated the "glam" metal scene but enjoyed that Vito/Reb Beach/DiMartini/Lynch-style of always-doing-something-interesting guitar playing. Thanks for the video and all the best from the Bay Area! MK
Same here. I sure miss those days in the east bay 80's metal scene. Back then you literally couldn't step out your front door without tripping over a guitarist. lols So many awesome local bands too, many who never got much notoriety outside of the bay, including my own. All the party spots in the hills were so fun too. Looking back we are so lucky to have grown up there.
Great video !! Really enjoying your channel !! *REQUEST* : *please do a 3 for all or Chord play from The Bullet Boys?* Their musicianship is truly underated !!
Thanks Dave ,for your constant posts ,always educational,and informal,as well as enjoyable ,as ever ,this one is no exception,heres to your 100k subscribers!
I'm glad we got at least some stuff from him becasue its all so good. To be called an EVH clone is a compliment, given EVH was a tremendous rythmn and lead player, very melodic, and very creative.
Love me some Vito riffage! Well done David, thank you! The world would be a better place if he surprised us with a solo album/instrumental. Such a great player and riff master🤘
I've always felt part of the reason he was labeled a VH clone was due to that pose on the cover of the magazine (lower left corner at 1:20) because I remember seeing a pic of Eddie in the same position. Guitar up, eyes wide open, mouth open. Obviously people criticize him for tapping. But just about every other player tapped back then. Vito just did it the best. I always try and steer UA-cam guitarists towards Vito. Just so they know there was another great composer from the 80s. I'd like to see you do the acoustic part that's between the two solos in "Warsong". First time I heard "If My Mind Is Evil", was when I listened to it on cassette. The way it was slowing down, I thought my tape player was eating the tape. lol If Vito just uploaded a 5 minute video of himself (once a week, or every two weeks) noodling on guitar in his house, that would be enough to satisfy us fans. He doesn't want to get a band together and tour. But it just sucks he gave up on it. Jason Becker doesn't play because he can't move a muscle in his body. Vito doesn't play because......he doesn't want to.
Great lesson David! Vito was a legend. So sad he left the music business early on. He basically took concepts from EVH and embellished them brilliantly for amazing licks and riffs. I'm so glad you covered Baby Be Mine, that's one of my favorites.
Hungry!! I learned to play chords with the third in the bass and different inversion ideas from Vito, as well learning how to interesting play things over dominant chords from All You Need Is Rock And Roll. He was a genius musically.
Definitely an influential player loved all his guitar work. Unfortunately he won't make a comeback. He found out too soon how screwed up the music business was even back then. If u ask me I think other players were threatened by him. He was one of the G.O.A.T. Great LNL ROCK ON DAVE! 👊 🎸
Love this lesson! While watching I realized that the riff of ‚Sweet Little Loving‘ has got strong similarities with Deep Purple‘s ‚Woman from Tokyo‘. Nice!
Love white lion, great pick!! Idea bands: Bullet boys, kix, warrant, slaughter, bang tango, shotgun messiah, autograph, stuff like that. Maybe just a catch all 80s glam lesser known/one hit bands haha! Anything that makes you say “oh my god I remember that song!”
Neil Schon, Steve Clark, and Vito Bratta are the only guitar players that consistently gave me chills growing up. It's too bad it fell apart because the record company didn't want to support them anymore. Mike Tramp intimated in an interview that Vito took a lot of coaxing and coercing into getting out there in the first place. According to Mike, Vito just sort of shut down after that. I guess Mike has tried connecting with him a few times since the band called it kaput, but Vito isn't interested. I was actually surprised and hopeful when they did that reunion thing, but it died off pretty damn quick so... It is unfortunate but I doubt Vito will ever record or perform again. I miss them but I think they're done for good.
Great stuff Dave, thank you! Here's a request, not sure if you've gotten it before, but Neil Schon did most of his best work in the first Hardline album Double Eclipse. That whole album jams.
Indeed - it makes the guitar work on the original genuinely BORING in comparison !! Vito just adds ALL these unique and well-crafted fills throughout the entire song and yet they FIT PERFECTLY with the key - plus the solo is KILLER - GUITAR GENIUS !!
Vito and Vai were the ones that got me into guitar first. Vito will always be a major influence in me. I saw White Lion open up for ACDC on the Who Made Who Tour. They were supporting the Pride album. Loved that show. I listened to Eddie Trunk a couple years ago giving an update on Vito. I don't think we'll ever see Vito return. From what Eddie said Vito made his mark on the music world and left and has no interest in coming back. I hope he changes his mind. I'd love to see him play again. From what he said he doesn't even have a guitar to play either. He completely left all music.
Vito's diminished triad showed up in the intro to "If My Mind Was Evil" one of the coolest of his songs (especially that solo). Also, if I could say to compare him to EVH was like comparing an Apple to an Orange. They're both sweet but different. Vito's playing made my taste buds squirt more than EVH.
I never cared for hair metal much. I remember hitting seek on my radio and heard this interesting guitar part. It was the intro to “Little Fighter”. The guitar from front to back was terrific.
Breaks my heart that Vito doesn't play anymore. He was so smooth and melodic.
Yeah he hurt himself. He hurt his wrist.
Vito was one of the cleanest and most melodic players live I've seen. The dude just didn't have any flaws
The solo for Little Fighter is amazing,his best imo.
LOVE that song. That one was special. Just a killer groove, with great rhythm and lead playing. Vito was something else.
Don't Say It's Over and Going Home Tonight have always been my favorite solos of his !
@@necromorphxbrute if you like dont say its over, i recommend you Helloween - If i Knew. that screaming guitar parts feel so satisfying.... i want it to be more loud tho...
Vito Bratta is a national treasure! Thank You David 🙂
Still listen to Pride to this day and never get tired of it,definitely one of the best of the genres.
Man you are amazing to show us how to break down these Vito chords and licks. Blown away!
I love Vito's playing. Very melodic, with blasts of speed mixed in. He wears his VanHalen influences proudly. He was much more than a VH clone. But he's finished with the music business.
why did he stop playing?
@@stk7778 I think his father was ill and he was taking care of him. He was on Eddie Trunks interview and with little googling you will find it
@stk He also had a left hand injury that caused him extreme pain when trying to play electric guitar. He described it as “electricity shooting up his arm” on his Eddie Trunk interview. He now only plays acoustic guitar occasionally.
One of the top guitar minds ever. Shame that he can’t share his gift with us anymore.
I bought White Lion Pride and TNT Tell No Tales on the same day when I was a teenager in the 80’s.
It was so much more fun discovering music before iTunes. Having to buy albums and you’d listen to them from start to finish until they were worn out.
Hate when cds came in and Lps and cassettes were fazed out. Now with live streaming you don’t even get the album cover and inner sleeve to look at. Really takes away from the whole experience of listening to music
Bro - that was a he11 of a day...... getting both of those albums on the same day!!! Wow. You hit the jack-pot my man. Those were great days. I remember the anticipation, and then picking up my new music. It was my driving force back then. Great music. Great times!
opening the cellophane and that new smell of the vinyl and looking over every inch of the sleeve for hidden secret messages .................just not the same anymore
Great video. Thanks for keeping Vito's music alive. Cheers.🙏

Vito is so creative and melodic on the guitar. Sure, he uses many of the techniques that EVH used/pioneered, but the bottom line is that Vito used these techniques as tool to create beautiful melodic music, not for some technical gimmickry or to try to be an “EVH clone” (which would be impossible, anyway).

Saw Vito in his pre White Lion days in his band Dreamer. I don't remember who the other guitarist was but they were BOTH tearing it up.
Vito has always been one of my favourite players. I remember being in the car, listening to Pride on my Sony Walkman on trips to see my aunt and uncle.
When I learned to play guitar, I was still perplexed by his style. Incredibly melodic, and yet incredibly rhythmically complex. An absolute BEAST.
A suggestion for Chordplay?
Canada's own SAGA. Ian Crichton is such an underrated player, and Saga has so many beautiful songs.
Saga is amazing.
Absolutely!
The whole "The Security of Illusion" album is just filled with a playbook of how to make a guitar solo stunning and beautiful at the same time.
Vito and Ian are both in my top 5 players of all time list...
Cheers, m. 🙂
I'm so glad everyone wants Vito lessons. thanks David. cool style he had. very tasty playing
I love how you nail all the riffs of Vito Bratta so effortlessly!

You are the man!! Thank you for continuing to highlight these talented bands/guitarists that for many of us were why we started playing guitar.
Really great playing! You get all the little nuances. I still love Vitos playing and you did a perfect job here!
Great video. 👍 And solo’s ...
”Don’t say it’s over” Totaly amazing!!
Really enjoyed that lesson. Riffs like that are really rewarding to play ~ more sus chords too . Great stuff 🇬🇧👍

I've been waiting for White Lion!
You are an amazing guitar player and a great teacher. I always enjoy your chordplay videos and learn from them. Thank you again.
Sorry, David!!! I'm running behind in my Late Night Studies, but I've been waiting for this follow-up!!!! Thanks!!!!
Great video. I share your passion for Vitos playing. He had the gift.
I feel the same, would absolutely love to hear some music from Vito once more. Brilliant lesson, thanks.
Good stuff! Love some Vito Bratta and White Lion
Very cool.
White Lion was very popular my senior year in 1988.😃👍
That Tell Me riff is so nasty. I love it
Here's my mandatory "Skid Row when?"
You’re ah killer man ... thank you for your hard work !!! White lion cassette s where played to loud every night back in the day 👍🏻👍🏻😃😃
One of the GOATs.
Great video !! Really enjoying your channel !! *REQUEST* : *please do a 3 for all or Chord play from The Bullet Boys?* Their musicianship is truly underated !!
Hah. On another White Lion kick lately. Right on time. Thank you David, you're awesome!
Love Vito!! Thanks!!😎
Thanks Dave ,for your constant posts ,always educational,and informal,as well as enjoyable ,as ever ,this one is no exception,heres to your 100k subscribers!
Who remembers White Lion's scene in Tom Hank's "The Money Pit" ?
I'm glad we got at least some stuff from him becasue its all so good. To be called an EVH clone is a compliment, given EVH was a tremendous rythmn and lead player, very melodic, and very creative.
Love me some Vito riffage! Well done David, thank you! The world would be a better place if he surprised us with a solo album/instrumental. Such a great player and riff master🤘
Dude!!! PLEASE do Savatage Hall of the Mountain King Album!!!
Yes i second that request!
Love those riffs ! Thanks Dave.

Thank you David! Always stoked for a new upload.
2:50 sounds great! Never heard of White Lion
Great Guitar work David!!! This is awesome! Glad you did this! Definitely Miss Vito play Guitar. Keep up the great work!!!
thank you David
Great lesson! Vito was amazing
Vitto Bratta was an amazing player and composer. I have images of Vitto still playing and creating at home, gives me a great feeling.

If my mind is evil has a very very very cool solo too.
Love the video, been waiting for the white lion ep! Would you ever do licks of JJ Cale? maybe not quite the metal wheelhouse but he still rocks
More Vito Bratta/White Lion chords &;licks videos please😃
Said it before, dig your right hand technique!
Love this lesson! While watching I realized that the riff of ‚Sweet Little Loving‘ has got strong similarities with Deep Purple‘s ‚Woman from Tokyo‘. Nice!
David, Chordplay - The Chords Of White Lion Part 2? 👍😎
Awesome!! thank you.
You can tell you are digging the fhuuxx outa this stuff... Comes thru in your playing
White Lion’s Pride was up there with 10 from 6, Operation Mindcrime, Van Halen 1, and Blizzard of Ozz while I was growing up
Eddie, vito ,nuno and Jason bieler from saigon kick are probably my main guitar influences.. also jake on 1st Badlands album..
Love white lion, great pick!!
Idea bands:
Bullet boys, kix, warrant, slaughter, bang tango, shotgun messiah, autograph, stuff like that.
Maybe just a catch all 80s glam lesser known/one hit bands haha! Anything that makes you say “oh my god I remember that song!”

I know its a cover song but Vito's playing on Radar Love just smokes!

Hey David, Love your Behringer Vampire tone. Are there any amps you have that are better or have that tone? Thanks!!

Hey Dave what about an episode on Ronnie Le Tekro now??
F#7 sus4 - Totally was thinking Alex Lifeson - Hemispheres as well!
Also on Snakes and Arrows. At the end of armor and sword. Alex talks about bringing that chord back on that album.
At the end of far cry. Not armor and sword.
Vito's diminished triad showed up in the intro to "If My Mind Was Evil" one of the coolest of his songs (especially that solo). Also, if I could say to compare him to EVH was like comparing an Apple to an Orange. They're both sweet but different. Vito's playing made my taste buds squirt more than EVH.

You missed out.
Another Vito video fuck yeah!!!!
Finally!!
david great work as usual could you please type, rain michael thompson ive wrote a song on the acoustic i dont think its been done before
I always though they got lost and lumped in with the big hair band of the late 80's early 90's LOVE THE BECK POSTER.................
Vitto was a hybrid of Eddie Randy and Lynch.
killer i love white lion.
Please do a Jeff LaBar from Cinderella guitar licks video!!!
What tremolo is on the Fender looks like a Rail Tail???
Andy Timmons from the Screw It lp. He threw down on that lp!!!
what are you using for the phase effect?
Alright!!!
great job Dave! so tasty!
@Late Night Lessons I would love to see a lesson on Iron Maidens guitar harmonies.Come on Dave, give us some Maiden.
Hellyes!
Vito Bratta tried to tell Mike Tramp he cant use the White Lion name. I say go for it..
Do stuff from that first Stone Fury album!
killer tone still in 202x !
Vito is/was a fantastic and tasteful player. I didn't care for White Lion and would've been interested in him stepping out with a different band.
