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.
Met Vinnie one night at a club. He was opening for Michael Schenker. After his set he came to the bar. Hardly anyone there. My buddy and I drank beer with Vinnie and watched Schenker's set. What a kick ass night. Watching one of the best WITH one of the best!
What a master.. IMHO a lot of 80s shred heroes are stuck in past but Vinnie transcends time. His phrasing, melodic sense and feel separates him from most of the other heroes. Still he can burn the board when he feels like it.
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.
@@Chris741113 I'm of European ethnic origin and English, and my soul resonates with my own tribe. Whenever I attempt to play Black music I just sound fake, awkward and insincere, but when I stick to my own music like Classical and European Rock/Metal etc it sounds natural, flowing and true.
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.
Vinnie Moore, greatest guitarist ever!! Love him so much man, I'm 24 and been listening since i was 13 and Still think he's the greatest master of emotion and feeling when it comes to using modes and skill to illustrate the emotion he feels through his music. Awesome ! Time Oddyssey Top 10 for sure
Vinnie is one of the gentlest, humble and down-to-earth electric guitar virtuosos (and I don't give that term up for just anyone) that has ever graced this Earth. Paul Gilbert is also in this category. Even though Yngwie is probably my favorite guitarist and the artist who has inspired me the most...he certainly is not going to be winning any "Mr Nice Gaius" Awards, anytime soon.
This guy is a legend of guitar playing. He's melodic sense is very nice and technique either. Congrats Vinnie Moore. Thanks for presenting a music like that. You gonna be in the hall of fame one day. God bless you. Congrats!
this vid it's priceless!!!!.. a true masterclass from a guitar genius!!..every note sings by itself, the phrasing it's flawless, timing... incredible!!...dynamics... outstanding ,scales.. knitting pure sonic mandalas!!...personality ... Zen master!! .I'm speechless!!!!!
I'm sure it's been mentioned in here but Vinnie's EHS video from the late 80's completely and forever changed my playing. Absolute master of the instrument. Watching him shred up close with Alice Cooper was a great treat for me back in the day!
Vinnie is one of my all time favorite guitarists for his tone, precision & technique, compositions and originality. Thanks for this episode. It's always good to see videos of Vinnie which are quite rare online!
Has been some years that I dont listen to Vinnie Moore,the last record I listened was some of UFO, The Visitor, but listening again remembered me that he is one of my greatest Guitar Heros of all time,some years ago i did a Guitar Clinic in Mexico City and I played all of the Time Odyssey album and some songs from Minds Eye and Meltdown albums, This was for me a tribute to one of my Guitar Heros, Thanx Vinnie Moore for all of your great Guitar Music, I hope to listen more and more albums .
Thank you Vinnie for all the brilliant music you have given us. And for the lessons, at the NGSWS camps, over the years back in the 80's. You taught me how to sweep-pick like a boss. And back then, it was such a mindblowing technique, which I absolutly abused. Thank You, Vin-Man, for all you taught me. I will never forget. I wish you the best in years to come. I hope somehow I can be a help to you, with my 500 + song catolougue of lyrics. I have enough songs for every musician in the world to write hit songs for the rest of my life. Anyone else interested, please contact me. I have enough songs to go around. Literaly, 500-plus. Maybe over a thousand, within large boxes of notebooks from over 40 years.
Vinnie Moore You are the Best there is I’ve listen to practically everyone and your style and clean melodic playing is beyond the Imagination that no other can even come close to
I moved to AZ early 90's..Played in a punk band but loved the shred stuff a ton... We played a club called the Mason Jar and Vinnie played there the next weekend..That show he played was still to this day the best show I've ever seen..Major impact to my playing.. We waited outside by the bus and met him after the show...Such a cool shit... He signed autographs for all.. Thanks Vin man
Time Odyssey changed my life. It blew my mind when I first heard it and still today it gives me that same feeling of bliss and awe...Thank-U Vinman forever:)
Vinnie is the man! A great guitarist in high school passed me down the whole "time odyssey" tab book with the cassette. l will never forget it and still have it. Meltdown is a BA album too! carry on...
I met Vinnie through a HotLicks video. He's the man who thought me the modes and paved the way for me to dive into music harmony. It's still a pleasure watch him play. Greetings from Istanbul...
Been listening to you since the '80s Vinnie. There's is so much melodic playing going on here. You're the consummate guitarist/musician: never tire of learning. Thanks for sharing this video. Love #31.
Evey time i hear Vinnie moore i feel that guitar "hunger" i had when i was a kid and wanted to learn how to sound like my guitar heroes. Vinnie is soooo inspiring!. by the way MELTDOWN is one of the best guitar albums in the universe. I'm pretty sure I stole tons of licks out of MELTDOWN because it just became part of my guitar vocabulary without even knowing.
You could not have said it any more profoundly!! Vinnie Moore is so inspiring. My life changed when I heard Mind's Eye. The most shredding masterpiece in its day....
@@StreetFighter2010 I bought the CD back in 1991 when it came out and still have it. I must admit at the time I was a little disappointed compared with the first two albums, however in more recent years I have come to really love it. I think the aspects that make it great are quite subtle, but very powerful and delivered with such flair and passion.
@@EgoShredder It *is* a disappointment compared to his first two albums, which are classics. Meltdown was the typical pseudo blues album that a lot of guys seemed to do (Joey Taffola for one)
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!!
Amen. I've still got Time Odyssey on cassette and the tab book. 8) Still have never learned an entire song from front to back, though -- mainly pieces of Pieces of a Picture and Morning Star. :D
Saw Vinnie do a clinic at a guitar store called 'Pianos N Stuff' in Pittsburgh in the late 80's. He was such a great teacher and player. His influence helped me to become a pro player, a music school owner, and a music instructor myself. Thanks Vinnie!
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!
@@uncleremus5046 As far as i know he is founder. But everybody who refer about this virtuoso records of this time. Always say Shrapnel era. It's not my words. It's common phrase in many media.

The Maze is such a great timeless song that keeps influencing so many guitar players, written and masterfully performed by one of the true great ones of all time. Thank you so much!
loved vinnie on the first Vicious Rumors and on his first solo album... got to meet him at a guitar clinic back in 89 in my home town perth Australia... friggin awesome guitarist! Love this clip.. rock on!
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.
Yeah sure I might have exaggerated a bit about the number of guitarists that have the chops, but he definitely lost his unique identity, listening to this boogie woogie stuff makes me miss the melodic VM of old. Now he sounds a bit like a Nuno wannabe. Just look at the old instructional videos where he plays his white Ibanez, such excellence.
Vinnie's instruction video about 30 years ago really helped me become the player that I am today. If you read this Vin, thank you very much!!!! You're a class act.
i met vinnie in mid atlantic music back around 83. i was butchering a motley crue song, and he came over and showed me how to play it the right way. i didn't even know who he was. there was no youtube back then. i went up to the counter to buy the guitar i was playing and the guy says "pretty cool getting a lesson from a famous player, huh?" i asked what he was talking about. he replied "that was vinnie moore." i was floored. he was really cool, and i never even knew it was him.
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
Grande Vinnie Moore un guitarrista muy virtuoso y moderno para sus tiempos que a influenciado a muchos nuevos guitarristas.y un estilo siempre innovador...
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
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.
My brother in law went to a show, I think at the Tower theater in the 80's. Dont remember who he was there to see, But, he said "I saw Vinnie Moore there" me..where? "Outside the theater" me.. signing autographs? No, waiting in line for a ticket like everyone else" me..people bothering him ? "Quite the contrary, he was laughing and joking with the other fans" me.. Damn, Hanging with Vinnie before a show..Down to earth monster player..Now that is an awesome man!! Wish I would've been there!
Absolutely Great! I love the fact that this was more of an at home personal share. I would love to see more at home studio jams with guys like Vinnie Moore. Only problem with this video is that it was too short ..... ;0)

Vinnie is my favorite of all of them
i love his style
Great story
Cool! 👍 How long ago was this?
@@tambor76 Probably around 10ish years ago, give or take a year or two. Geez, time flies.
I'm shocked that vinnie Moore is not that popular!! He is so underrated!!!
Joe Valcik agree my lord his phrasing and tone is beautiful. His bends are so deep and amazing.
Fsrsa dude. Fear and trepidation is literally a tear jerker. He is beyond awesome. Truly touched by God
people prefer Slash ...^^
Last chance I play it everyday
@@OmniscientVirtuosity my gosh, that's my favorite instrumental song ever! Totally agree with you.

Absolutely!
I'd love to see Vinnie and Steve Vai do something together
Vinnie moore,marty friedman,
jake E.lee
G3

Propably the best guitar album ever.
Vinnie, yngwie, becker , all took guitar playing to another level.
Before RUclips and Guthrie, we had Vinnie. Love him since 1990.
Cem Sarioglu check Nick Johston
clean master..
Before Guthrie was Shawn Lane.
Dougie Manross and jason becker
Been a fan since 1987. When he made the cover of Guitar Player Mag. Met him once too.
Choice of scales and melody are killer. Technique and tone speak for themselves. One of the greatest rock guitarist of all time!
MOST UNDER RATED ELECTRIC ROCK GUITARIST EVER!! Ive been into Vinnie for over 30 years man.
Brett Hunter underrated?! The man is a guitar god!
cant wait to order his cd next month
He certainly wasn't underrated back in the 1980s!
Brett Hunter He played with Alice Cooper if I recall. Fantastic.
dont think he was underrated, think of all the shred heads who even got recognized ever !!

Super nice guy. I met him in ‘90.
vuduhwy I jammed with him and Jon Finn at Berkelee as a student and made a fool of myself lol. one of my favs; was worth it for the story
I was there to for that tour. At a club called Jaxx in Va. I think it was 99'. Vinnie was the nicest guy.
Went to that tour also. Vinnie was off the hook. Still one of my faves.
What a master.. IMHO a lot of 80s shred heroes are stuck in past but Vinnie transcends time. His phrasing, melodic sense and feel separates him from most of the other heroes. Still he can burn the board when he feels like it.
still a total badass after all these years
He thanks us for watching, WE should thank him for his amazing demonstration!
Holy crap! I forgot what a beast this guy is. Love his bends and phrasing. Great tone as well!
@Fsrsa I have to join to your club, Fsrsa......what a gutarist, my bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made my day.......Greetings from Slovenia, Fsrsa
he gave the best solos in Alice Coopers album Hey Stoopid!the Dirty Dreams solo is full of nice bends!
It boggles my mind that Vinnie Moore is not a household name. Such an amazing and underrated guitarist.

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.
Yeah sure I might have exaggerated a bit about the number of guitarists that have the chops, but he definitely lost his unique identity, listening to this boogie woogie stuff makes me miss the melodic VM of old. Now he sounds a bit like a Nuno wannabe. Just look at the old instructional videos where he plays his white Ibanez, such excellence.
Thank you, Vinnie. For all the joy.... Just beautiful.... Thanks for all the joy you have given to the world!
Excellent technique with feeling. Wow!!!
Awesome guitarist and great guy. I had a beer with him at a pub in Brighton UK. He was there for for a promo.
Amazing guitarist, been a fan since 1990!
Vinnie's instruction video about 30 years ago really helped me become the player that I am today. If you read this Vin, thank you very much!!!! You're a class act.
Had some Vinnie cranked in the car today. Love this man's playing, incredible guitarist!!
One of the most inspiring guitar players of all time ! Vinny Moore!
This sounds great, nice pro shot!
Incredible musician, saw him March 12th 2019 on the UFO 50 Anniversary Last Orders tour.
i met vinnie in mid atlantic music back around 83. i was butchering a motley crue song, and he came over and showed me how to play it the right way. i didn't even know who he was. there was no youtube back then. i went up to the counter to buy the guitar i was playing and the guy says "pretty cool getting a lesson from a famous player, huh?" i asked what he was talking about. he replied "that was vinnie moore." i was floored. he was really cool, and i never even knew it was him.
vinnie's minds eye album is my favourite..but still his other albums are badass
perfect technique and feeling, really impressive Vinnie...
Great guitarist. Just good raw tones and gutsy fret work. Brilliant!
Vinnie is the man! Btw hes jamming to his song called "check it out" from his meltdown album. Monster of an album!
love meltdown cd every song still golden and that tone !!
Vinnie is my favorite guitarist. His playing + songs + personality = the complete package.
Picking at different length positions of the strings, a true master.
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
Meltdown is my all-time fav instrumental cd. Every song is great.
CurbsideLife wow i have to get meltdown, i have owned minds eye.
I absolutely agree 100%!!! Every guitarist and fans of excellent guitar music should OWN the Meltdown album!!!
Grew up idolizing this man, he's a super human being even above his tremendous talent in playing.
Absolutely killer tone here as well, super tight and clean; the great playing is just a given!
Always an extra special treat listening to anything Vinnie has to offer.
Grande Vinnie Moore un guitarrista muy virtuoso y moderno para sus tiempos que a influenciado a muchos nuevos guitarristas.y un estilo siempre innovador...
Vinnie Moore is my top player!!! always so musical old and new a lil funky too!!
This here kids, is a real guitarist! 👏👏
Have always loved Vinnie, what a player
Vinnie Moore has always been one of the best guitar players!!! Always will!
We love you, Vinnie! Thank you so much for all the fantastic music you've been creating over the years.
the best instrumental composer of all lords !! It's a pity it is not as recognized as other
i am 53 and i am a fan of Vinnie since the 80. great Guy and a master.
Love Vinnie, has great chops, but over all, has a lot of blues on his playing and I like it!
he had the best solos on Alice Coopers albut "Hey Stoopid"
bernhardtsen74 I just posted a similar comment. Great guitar on that album.
Minds eye still on of my favorite albums. I'm 46 been fan sence 9 grade . Love this guy. He still looks really young
Amazing! "Rain" stills one of my fave ;D-
Thanks vintage guitar for this vdo. You know he is my childhood guitar hero 🎸
Vinnie is the best love his jazzy style
Vinnie used to be Neo-Classical but turned to Blues-Rock. I see very little Jazz influence in his playing.
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
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.
AI fan well your opinion is valid, for me in find more jazz influences in only one album I believe it’s self titled
Joseph Goudreau it's not jazzy at all. Listen to Greg Howe or Guthrie Govan, they sound really «jazzy».
Vinnie Moore's music saved my life. I told him that too. Very gifted person
O melhor Guitarrista, Vinnie Moore!
My brother in law went to a show, I think at the Tower theater in the 80's. Dont remember who he was there to see, But, he said "I saw Vinnie Moore there" me..where? "Outside the theater" me.. signing autographs? No, waiting in line for a ticket like everyone else" me..people bothering him ? "Quite the contrary, he was laughing and joking with the other fans" me.. Damn, Hanging with Vinnie before a show..Down to earth monster player..Now that is an awesome man!! Wish I would've been there!
OMG I've always a fan of yours since the Pepsi advertisement.
Supreme technique and feeling! Love his sound!! Dude rocks since the 80s
Absolutely Great!
I love the fact that this was more of an at home personal share. I would love to see more at home studio jams with guys like Vinnie Moore.
Only problem with this video is that it was too short ..... ;0)
Vinnie Moore... You are awesome
His sense of rhythm and timing in his soloing is incredible. In the pocket big time
Vinnie is the man. Always loved his playing, so gifted.
Vinnie Moore, Jake E Lee and Vito Britta are my absolute favorite guitar players of all time!
funny they all kinda sounds same ..... good choice
