around 83 or 84, i walked into a store in my neighborhood called "mid atlantic music". i went there to buy a guitar. i picked up a pointy hondo off the wall and began butchering a motley crue song. some guy walked up behind me and said "wanna learn the right way to play that?" i passed him the guitar and he showed me how it was done. he passed it back, i played it like he showed me. i thanked him, and he walked away. i took the guitar up to the counter, and pulled out my wallet. the guy behind the counter said something to the effect of "pretty cool getting a quick lesson from a famous pro, huh?" i had no idea what he was talking about. he says to me "the guy that just gave you that lesson was vinnie moore". back then, if you didn't read the teen mags, you didn't know what anyone looked like. no internet. anyhow, i never forgot that a famous pro took the time to help me suck just a little less.
Awesome. 30 years later I get to watch all the instruction vids I couldn't afford as a kid in the late eighties for free now!! These videos, to me as a kid, were like the secret to unlock shredding powers but only if you could afford it!
I paid a lot of money for this video back in the 90’s and here it is free on RU-vid But it’s still so inspiring that I watch it over and over Thanks VinnMan you rule
I used to practice and play along to this vhs every day for months. It really does help you to the next level if you are serious about it. It won't help you to write a song, but you will achieve the weedily weedily noodling.
The guitarists from the 80ies were special.The sad part is we will never have guitarists like them anymore.The Melody lines and everything else was amazing.Vinnie Moore will always be one of my favorites of all time along side Jason Becker,Yngwie,Marty Friedman
Trevor, i dont know go check out chick schredders alizee defan Seems every 10 year old can shred malmsteen or Jason Becker which was not the case in the 80s, but yes 80s players were special
@@ianpearce7121 .I agree.Hats off to the 10 years old talents but I doubt if anyone from this new age musicians could create such memorable stuff as the musicians from the 80s.RU-vid is filled with covers but to create something so melodius and epic I doubt.
True but they didn't grow up with the internet and tabs and free lessons on you tube.there was no yoy tube!!these kids have all kinds of short cuts.lol....
Also, on Mind's Eye, from the man himself: "Minds Eye was recorded and mixed in 11 days. I had 4 days to do all rhythms, melodies, harmonies and solos." The man is a very efficient player.
Part of me is extremely jealous of how much incredible material is available to anyone who wants to learn guitar online.. Back when I first picked up guitar in the early 80's there was only one or two guys who gave lessons in my hometown and it was limited, but then again in a way it made all of us who I knew were on the same path more passionate about learning and discovering new things.
+1 true....... we had to slow down vinyl in the day.... pain in the azz.... no videos...no tab.... nothing back then it makes you give total respect to guys like Eddie and Malmsteen.... they had no point of reference for what they did. At least we had their records... No you have all these videos for free
James Rockford Yeah man. 80's were both tough and magical times for guitar players. I remember having to slow down and replay lines on vinyl. As well as having just ONE of everything (guitar, cheap amp with one sound, and one cheap generic distortion box) and guitar magazines as reference. I wonder how we got through those times that by now seem so painfully obviously boring now that we have access to unlimited material and references, tones, amps, modeling amps, guitars, etc. Guitars that are considered budget by todays standards would seem like premium ones in our time. and forget the fact that I now own about 10 different amps both Solid State and tube and even a rare Crate GT80 hybrid quad-channel as well as every amp app on my ipad.. we live in better times now dude, and I'm envious of what these kids have that I didn't. may have made a difference in my ability to play guitar better than how I do currently. Though it's never too late, I still look and feel young for my age and am happy to be a small part of this technology =-)
gscgold I agree with you 100%. It's amazing what our current generation (and everyone else on earth right now) has in terms of knowledge sharing with this easily accessible network and way of life. But this goes beyond just being prolific at playing the guitar. Imagine if our entire society used this encyclopaedia of knowledge to be the best at EVERYTHING. Ahhh
I came from Holdsworth to this. I'm sorry, but this sounds so musical by comparison. Vinnie sound was forged on the masters such as Bach. His albums are out of this world. Vin is one of the best.
one of the best things i have EVER seen in my life, and i use to take these videos home back in the 80's ,,,,,,,,,,, when i worked at a music store ........
Vinnie's two vids, changes my playing forever. I got tape 2 first because i didn't know tape 1 existed until a friend let me borrow it. Took my playing to another dimension. Thank you, Vinnie.
Thats the holy grail for all Guitar players out there how to do it in the right way like Vinnie does... Thanks for this amazing Vid. I´ll never forget how i start to play the first notes in the different modes or the triplets and so on...like he explain here. Great memories since then.
1971SuperLead I was just telling someone today about how it was because of this VHS I had as a teenager that I FINALLY understood modes. His way of relating them to feelings and themes is something I use to this day
One of the best instructional videos ever made. Not for the licks or exercises, but for the priceless information he gives in the Legato/Left Hand section. He warns that you will be sore, that you need to push it and that it requires A LOT of strength. If beginners and intermediates pay attention to this, they'll avoid all the snake oil BS on the internet these days where everyone has a "secret tip" or a "life changing" tip for x technique.
Vinnie Moore is so underrated it's amazing. And his development over the years is also amazing, also his melodic licks he plays are beast. I MEAN CMON how nobody knows him or compares him to the best? He's defenitly one. Just listen to this man, you will be hypnotized in my opinion, any video. Just do it :O
I purchased this video years ago...bit to fast for me but took some things on board..helped hell of a lot when coming to finger strength ect..nice one to see this again.
His pivoting notes are amazing. Something I still can’t do well after 20 years playing. One downside, when many guitarists master sweep arpeggios they over use them to death.
Really influential video right here . Very useful sequences, and string grouping 6s, and 3s, between 1, 2, and 3 strings,and over all 6 strings as well. Then the Legato section at the end, shows a 7 note sequence, and a Satriani like 8 note sequence, also a pivot note riff that can be used in all positions, relatively easily. Great video. vinnie has to go, "See ya next time, bye!"
If I were to ''steal'' a talent from a Rock/Metal guitar player, that would be this guy.....he just sounds so articulate and fluid without any struggles ..... damn
Que puedo decir, Vinnie Moore es mi guitarrista favorito. Aprendí mucho de sus 2 videos Advanced Lead Guitar y Speed and Accuracy. Y lo que he aprendido de sus discos y canciones. Un guitarrisa absoluto, vistuoso, musical, teórico, con mucho groove y feeling y un gran compositor. Impresionante y legendario
Im always amazed with the articulation that this guy plays, even at lightning fast speeds everything stands out. Vinnie, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Nuno Bettencourt all these guys took the guitar to new heights.
Hello, I am sharing this for fans of Greg Howe and Gambale. and instrumental metal.greetings have a good 2024 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Issoi4f8OE.html
I went to a Vinnie Moore clinic in this tiny music shop when his first album came out. Of course His technique was top notch,but I was already shredding everything in sight by this time. His melodic sense is what really grabbed me.
I remember back in the day watching this video in some local music store, particularly the intro shredding part. I looked over at another guy in the store, and his jaw hit the floor when Vinnie effortlessly went from distorted shredding to that clean, jazzy, chordal playing. It seemed to us at that fleeting moment that Vinnie achieved what was impossible to mere mortals! The truly great players always seem to fly under the radar for some reason, and Vinnie is no exception.
I love how he pronounces _ascending_ as _ass-ending._ _"This is an ass ending triplet."_ Yea, it ended my ass in a hurry. I'm just not that fast these days🤣
I remember being 14 and watching, rewinding, replaying, stopping, rewinding again and working on each section I liked..It's amazing we all watched this type of video quality before HD and didn't question how fuzzy and horrible it was :)
Just look how many dislikes has Vinnie in all of his youtube videos and compare it with Malmsteen's for example...The man is genious. What can I say? Hats off to the Grande Maestro. God bless you Vinnie!
Это видео я увидел когда учился в школе во времена СССР. И это было первое в моей жизни живое подтверждение чуда. Я смотрел его на видеомагнитофоне через маленький телевизор с кинескопом, который мерцал через каждые пять секунд. От начала и до конца я не мог ни моргнуть, ни закрыть рот. В будущем я пересмотрел его не одну сотню раз (пока в нашем дворе не появилась школа Мальмстина)). И сейчас слушая начало этого соло, я помню каждую, мать ее, ноту. Они вшиты в мое сознание, которое Вини Мур захватил еще в школе и изменил мою жизнь.
Memories of my youth are upcoming when I see this digital version, formerly were VHS copies the only possible medium to catch some extraordinary tutorial material. Thanks to RU-vid it is still alive and available! ;-) I find the hairstyle extraordinary - poser times! By the way Vinnie Moore's guitarwork is still extraordinary and probably one of the best in neoclassical style!
There is a musicality and continuity in Vinnie Moore playing, just not a lot of notes that don't seem to go together. his songs and albums just sound good.
Though I'm not a huge van of Vinnie's music (it sounds a bit cheesy to my ears), his playing is incredibly clean. Try finding sheet music for one of his songs, and play along with it - you'll see what I mean.
I bought the VHS version back in 91-92.I had no clue who Vinnie was, but the store had it on their TV in a loop, and I said to myself it couldn't hurt. It helped me improve my legato licks by a mile, and the 3 note per string on 2 strings was a revelation. It is however a bit sterile and clinical as far as instructionals are concerned. Thx Vinnie.
That's so nice isnt?! When you see someone with great runs on diferent patterns (like the 3 notes/2 strings). Discovering those new patterns from people who had the time and made them great to use is a feeling of pure bliss. From night to day you start to play A LOT better... is almost if it was already there but you couldnt advance yet.

Ohh..Super,very very dear,speed,guitar-school!!! Thank-you very much dear ,respecting Teacher-for the Super-respecting-guitar-player-school!!I`love you!!! Dear!!! Realy Happiness!!!! Your!!!
When I was in high school, I got a summer job working at Macy’s in the men’s pants department. My co-worker let me borrow this VHS tape. He treated the VHS tape as if it were the Holy Grail, like literally as if there was only one existing copy which he shed blood to acquire. I had to treat it as such. You know, pre-todays-internets. I remember watching the first part of the tutorial starting @3:27 and literally being stuck on it for a month then giving up and returning the video. lol...
