Me trying to shred some Vinnie Moore... (YouTube)

[RR0849]

I'm not a huge fan of shredding but there are some songs that are really cool. Vinnie Moore's The Maze is one of them. This is my sloppy attempt at it...

I love the arpeggio stuff that starts at around 1:19.

That was very good man, Vinnie has very similair phrasing as Tony Mac...IMO.

Nice guitars, and is that a silver Jubilee Marshall stack back there..cool.

Thanks! It's a bit sloppy cause I had just learned the song. I could play it with more conviction now.
And yes - 50w silver jubilee. My main amp for the past 6 years or so.

I also think Vinnie is very similar to Tony. They both use classical stuff and combine it with more Vai/Satriani style modes. They both have great articulation too. I just think they both need some help in writing songs. I get easily bored listening to their records. The Maze is an exception though.

Nah man, you established you can dupe that stuff pretty damn good. I never had the dicipline to learn other people's music, besides bass lines for covers and my VH trib.

I love writing my own stuff..

You gotta do what you love..or what's that point.

Good job man

Lots of talent on this board..

Dude, you have a great feel and your duping this stuff really well. I'd really like to hear some of your own ideas.

[RR0849]

Thanks guys! I also mainly play my own stuff and I love writing songs. If You check my YouTube videos there is a lot of my own material there including a couple of full songs...

I'm going to studio soon to record a quality demo CD of at least three songs.

[mhalsey]

Awesome!!! I like the palm-mute run starting around 0:35. Very cool stuff!

[kuerbo]

Pretty cool! Congratulations. Killer guitars also...
It'd be nice to hear it/see it without Vinnie Playing in the background.

[RR0849]

Thanks!
I'll try to find a backing track for it. It won't sound as good without Vinnie though.

I once had a "Heartfield" by Fender that part of some promo signed by Vinne Moore and saw a guitar clinic with him.

ps: You guys know this? He once played guitar for a Pepsi commercial
