This dude is so down to earth and humble. He never let fame get to his head. That's awesome!

[@thestratinez3430]

My Hero

[@clemguitar63]

He is the coolest dude, so real!

[@daveormand4977]

He’s real

[@tj_698]

Can't agree more... God bless 🙏

[@PaulC39]

Vinnie Moore I love your music from Mind's Eye, Time Odyssey and other albums. You have a great picking hand and one of the best guitarists since back in the 80s. Great style and tone.

[@nethbt]

A true rock virtuoso, really underrated, his note choices are sublime. MELTDOWN album still melts my face up to this day

[@flinx649]

Great album

[@youhavenothingifyoudonthav9895]

I Adore Meltdown Album. It was what I rocked out to during most the grunge scene . That Album is part of my DNA .

[@nethbt]

@@youhavenothingifyoudonthav9895 damn, you and I got a similar story

[@aaronkristo858]

One of the greatest guitar records of all time. Check It Out, Deep Sea, Ridin High... So good.

[@shredguitarob]

yes! I want to start learning Cinema, such a great track!

[@gregbaugh7640]

thanks Vinnie, I learned some great arpeggios back from your VHS tape back in the mid 80’s … still using them too …😉

[@seanmccall7277]

Hey! Me too. Funny.. several of them from that tape stick with me to this day. I got it in 87.

[@DisruptedSinner]

I first discovered Vinnie in the mid 80's from a guy who worked at a local music store here in Montreal. I wish I could find that guy and buy him a beer because it was the best suggestion for music anyone could have given me. Thanks, Vinnie - you're awesome!

[@Deyvian77]

I still remember the moment I discovered the album 'The Maze'. What an amazing work of creativity and inspiration for a lot of guitarists! THANKS VINNIE!

[@LightWays]

Vinnie Moore is one of the most underrated guitarist. His playing is incredible, not sure why he never got the recognition that others of his era got. Keep rockin' Vinnie!💪💯

[@guskalogeros9021]

I’ve been a fan of his playing for years. His instructional vids were legendary. Saw Vinnie when he was playing with UFO. He was so gracious with all the fans outside the tour bus. There was one part during the show when I made I contact with him and motioned to him I wanted a guitar pick. He ran to his amp to quickly get me a pick which was super cool. Awesome dude!

[@owenedwardsguitar7094]

The most eloquent of the neo classical era, I use some of his pivoting licks from the first hot licks video to this day… Minds Eye and especially Time Odyssey have a place in my heart forever.

[@danv8717]

I've seen UFO many times, and I always enjoyed watching Vinnie do his thing live.

[@spillyp8261]

Vinnie always kills it live! Master guitar player!

[@NWTMasterWolf]

You rock bro. I am just beginning to learn guitar ( at 57 but have been a singer all of my life ) I have listened to you for decades and am inspired even more by you now. Thank you man.

[@MichaelFrazier-w5c]

Vin & Toni are definitely 2 of the 10 commanments Of METAL!!!

[@tobiashreese303]

This man is one of the most versatile guitarist and song artists out there. Each album is uniquely full of passion, fire, melodic content, intelligent song structures and sincere playing all around. You can't judge him by one or two albums period. One of the few "super shredders" who excels as a composer and instrumental story teller. Love and light.

[@PabloShozoElvis]

I BEGGED my hardcore Ukrainian/Yugoslav-ex Commie father to let my older brother borrow the car to drive me midweek ( 2 hours away and back!) to see Vinnie in Melbourne to his Fender-Heartfield Guitar Clinic! I was 16 and poor, kicked out of school and unemployed.....but my Dad said yes! I'll never forget that night, we actually bought him gifts from our hometown, local music store t-shirt, etc. . . .Thank you Vinnie Moore for inspiring the young and old for many decades, and many decades to come!

[@lelandgaunt7130]

"Ex-Commie Father" 😂 that was killer. 🤘

[@jamesbullock8037]

One of my idols, thank you Vinnie (with a IE) Moore! It may not come across in the riff and solo videos I upload but you are one of my top inspirations and influences! Keep on rockin' 🤘

[@bfields1448]

I seen vinnie Moore in OKC back in the 90s meltdown tour, the loudest I've ever been to it was a club so. Incredible musician.

[@gtrjoe68]

87 and 89 was all about Moore, Mcalpine and Malmsteen. I hope Kramer makes a Vinnie Moore model. Great video.

[@johannjohann6523]

great stories. Thanks Vinnie.

[@jamesmarshall4364]

One of the greatest musicians to ever pick up the instrument! Living legend

[@fourletterword7920]

Yo Vinnie, you were a great inspiration to me in my formative years of guitar playing, and i look forward to hearing your new compositions. I don't think you get enough recognition, you are a true force of music my friend! I really appreciate your compositions and tone, be well and thank you.

[@lorettahookano6139]

One of my favorite virtuoso’s of all time !

[@xpander8140]

Loved Vinnie Moore's playing ever since hearing him the first time in the excerpt from "Message In A Dream" in Guitar Player Flexi-disc back in `88. Phenomenal player. Interesting to see him back to Kramer guitars. I really like the lower cutaway on this one, deeper than in regular Pacers. Wonder if Kramer would be up to releasing this as his signature model at some point.

[@punishmentdue73]

I’ve been a fan since Mind’s Eye! I still have Time Odyssey on vinyl

[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

Vinnie! As a 54 year old Bay Area native, I go back to Vicious Rumors Soldiers of the Night! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@doctorxyss]

Great!>>>Vinni is a awesome guitar player, and I still have my 1986 Kramer Striker with almost original gear in it...Peace and rock on good people!!!👊😎

[@hughjanus5525]

I’m 30 and I listened to Minds Eye all the time in high school. One of the most underrated guitarists EVER.

[@zombee38]

I still have Time Odyssey cassette tape autographed by Vinnie !!!!1987

[@glenkepic3208]

Great work here. Like many, i saw the Pepsi commercial but didn't know who played. Changed with VR's Soldiers Of The Night. Read Vinnie cut all the solo's in a day. Lots of Shrapnel here. This remains a fave. Some solo albums. last "Out Of Nowhere". Great. Even my wife liked it! Extended family sees UFO with Vinnie.This is like 15 years ago. They loved this little club style gig. Gave them OON CD to them. They dug that, too.

[@1970borntorun]

I love Vinnie! Very underrated!! It appears his Partnership with Dean dissolved.

[@DookyShoes1]

I think everyone has left Dean at this point. From what I've heard, they weren't paying the artists for the guitar sales

[@tonictonetomrockstar1931]

I still have minds eye on cassette

[@indiantrace]

Me too and I probably listened to that album hundreds of times and still love it decades later.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

At one point in time I had the entire Shrapnel catalog on cassette. Minds Eye was in the car along with McAlpine, Racer X and Greg Howe. Vinnie was always in the tape rotation. I almost bought a Heartfield Talon because of Vinnie.

[@AljonGo]

Heck yeah, Vinnie!!! 🤘🤘

[@leandrogodinho]

Vinnie Moore is certanly one of my main influences !!! Wonderfull musician and a great and simple guy !!! Love his job VM. Thanks for all

[@hyramjackson]

Long time fan i do listen once in a while Minds Eye

[@RCstrats]

No problem Vinny!!

[@Knosferatu]

Absolute legend right here!

[@supertal6074]

Love his playing - truly one of the Greats!

[@dgs931]

what a lovely talented guy..best 'o luck Vinnie

[@SlickD217]

Man what a life.. Travel the world playing music with some of the coolest people and biggest names on the planet… a true guitar hero 🤘😎

[@glen4326]

Interesting stories about his early discoveries. He is about the song however Defying Gravity is pure instrumental and I can't get enough of it. I would never say, too many notes, Vinnie..

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Awesome interview 🤘🎶🎶🤠

[@erichaheidrich4593]

Melody master ! Great to see this interview.

[@bmdshred77]

Such a cool down to earth guy with exceptional skills

[@TMoody]

Vin Man..... the best thing to ever come out of Delaware.

[@michaelsine5586]

Vinnie you rock!!

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

I knew about Vinny before he ever put a record out. He lived in Delaware and a lot of talk was going on about his playing. I was right across the river from him and All the guitar players talked about the great Guitar player in Delaware which was the Vin man 😁 This was about 1985 or 86.

[@leandroteixeiradecarvalho8946]

Vinnie esteve na cidade onde moro, Brusque/SC para um workshop em 2010. Músico talentoso e um grande ser humano. Atendeu a todos logo depois de sua apresentação.

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

Vinnie rocks, cool interview, thanks :)

[@workingorder2189]

What guitars did Vinnie Moore used on the minds eye.

[@MGPMusic81]

A great listen🎸🎸🎸

[@cosmopolitan79]

Such a nice guy. I respect you Sir! 🙏👍

[@rezakhan8290]

It is sad that Ibanez didn't reissue Vinnie's model. They should.

[@GenericSpace]

I had an old Ibanez Blazer that I beat against my anvil until it became firewood because they used a "barrel jack" in those and if-and-WHEN that jack went out, there was no fixing it. You absolutely had to spend a lot of money buying another one then go through the hideous effort of soldering it into that tiny cavity with no room to work etc. etc. In hindsight, I probably should've just sold the guitar or even given it away but meh, I did have fun using it like a baseball bat. Shortly after that, I bought my first-and-only Strat and decided I was done with Ibanez.

[@swanofnutella4734]

Vinny Moore is one of my favorites.

[@tr-austin]

A true living legend...

[@kipponi]

Lots of wisdom in 15min. I remembering Vinnie Moore licks were in Guitar Player Magazine!? Still doing his D-major shape arpeggio lick now and then. It goes up and down halfsteps. You can alternate pick it or sweep it. Good warmup.

[@nethbt]

In an alternative universe, imagine if James and Lars hired him as the lead guitarist, I wonder how Metallica's music went

[@wreckoningday]

Does anyone know why Meltdown album is not iTunes or really anywhere? I bought that album when it came out and have bought all the rest of his albums since but I can't find it anywhere. It seems to get shunned but I think it's a great album.

[@AlbertoVelascoPeña]

Great Vinnie! With J.Beck and R.Blackmore you're the next for me

[@scottromesburg7935]

That lick from Jeff Beck was the first I'd ever heard from him...recorded it on cassette from Jim Ladds The 7th day. Love yer stuff!

[@bassvibasics479]

What a lovely down-to-earth guy Mr Moore is!!

[@leek7412]

World Legend!

[@Chrishagen]

Great guitar player and still rocking his 80’s t shirt!

[@adam7ramirezar]

Rock on vinnie.

[@toddeaton3269]

Vinnie's modes in B video really made the 7 years '91-98 of the first 7-string (for $3,000!) worth having... I thought that he used an FRT-3 and went with that on my own 3/4 "mini series" (after the EVH of "Hot for teacher" that I did for him in '84)! I never met him in Hollywood around MI but kept listening to the essentials which included him... Now I have to wonder if Kramer still does the 1 3/4" wide nut, I had an early Voyager with it (and always wanted that with the 2 1/4" heel for a Vintage spaced trem)!

[@elephantcup]

Really good thing that he was surrounded by amps, holding his guitar. Really came in handy, all of the playing that he did.

[@aaronkristo858]

You should have read the title of the video where it says it is an interview.

[@emiferraro4592]

Love you Bro

[@ThunderFalcon333]

Vinnie is a bad ass 🎸

[@henriquecamboim]

He is so casual, it almost feels like he is not aware of how much of a guitar god he is.

[@binkywarren21]

He's not kidding, folks. Vinnie "alledgedly" killed my friend's uncle's neighbor for spelling it V-i- n-n-y. 😲

[@pa-james9220]

I still crave pepsi because of the commercial

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

Time odyssey is amazing I love Tony MacAlpine as well.

[@ifantsaurells3014]

VinMan... 🎸🎸

[@poripipi]

the man

[@cancelbubble6535]

Meltdown!

[@dereazerami]

The legendary guitarist 🎸 ?

[@Adrianrulz]

Saw him open for Rush years ago

[@TheEleventeen]

Such a cool dude ! ⚜️x🤘🏻x⚜️

[@mikemorgan548]

Hey Vinnie, you played my JEM with Dio you should've got that gig.

[@tedcabana]

Vinnie! Don't sell yourself so short. I get that you were a Newb when you first heard those great guitar players. But you are so much beter than they are now.

[@michaelchang4002]

Wow...

[@ziya1969]

Vinnie! Purple needs a guitar player. They need you!

[@chadr1003]

🤟 🎸 🤘

[@a.s.2426]

Where is the shred part, damn it?

[@jasonyltan7672]

Totally low key for too many years Vinnie but great to hear from the man again!

[@bobevans9955]

Vinnie Moore's been playing with UFO for quite a few years now and if you don't know anything about UFO you don't nothing about rock music

[@MisterPoppy-sc1sj]

he's very shy

[@ericksaulchangperez9388]

why doesn´t he ever mention yngwie as an influece, it´s so evident

[@andresdiaz2737]

Good to hear he got rid of dean for a while

[@zaqueenateatro]

vinnie's voice has as many harmonics as his tone

[@Knosferatu]

Aged,,really,,well,,hair,,looking,,good,,V

[@jeffreyp1855]

Love Vinnie! He was one of my 1980s teen years inspirations. Ironically, I was introduced to his music by my highschool pal Ira Black, who went on to play with Vinnie's old band "Vicious Rumors" for a bit. 🤣 Ira introduced me to a lot of incredible guitarists music and got me into playing Metal guitar. I'll forever be grateful. Thanks, Ira! 🤘🏻

[@purplehaze9154]

Dear Kramer, a USA Vinnie Moore model please. maybe an import too for the ones who love Vinnie Moore but are on a budget. everyone loves Vinnie, still.

[@damonstewart70]

One of the greatest rock guitarist ever!!! Very versatile can not only shred but can boogie,funk & do metal and ballads!!! Check out his song remorse I learned to play it note for note when my mother died. Wassup Vinnie need a new album from you badly

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

He showed me my first warm up scale back in the day. He was doing a clinic and I got lucky enough to talk to him and he took the time to show me.

[@nizzamp]

VINNIE IS A LEGEND. Been listening to him since 7th grade. I used to spend HOURS and hours learning "pieces of a picture". THANKS, VIN MAN!! Melody master.

[@liamh9814]

Vinnie is a talent, super melodic. He got me into Larry Carlton too, as Vinnie cited him as a major influence.

[@themetalchronicles.9557]

I remember his Pepsi commercial and instructional videos, phenomenal guitar player for sure.

[@alexmbrenner]

Saw him on the Meltdown tour. He’s amazing and still is!

[@brrblack497]

One of the best from the Shred era. Last I remember you were in UFO. I went in the blues direction and stopped listening to Metal and Shred for 20 plus years. Good to see one of the nice guys still kicking it.
