Vinnie Moore / Advanced Lead Guitar Techniques /2

[MoreDanYouKnow]

Are a lot of guys still substituting E major for E minor these days? It's essential that I know. I don't want to be left out of 1987.

@MoreDanYouKnow

hi,yeh it just turns the A minor scale into A harmonic minor.the major 3rd of E is the major 7th of A harmonic.

or it Turns it into the E phrygian dominant mode of harmonic to be exact,

if you play A harmonic minor over an E 7 chord,and phrase to them chord tones,but add in the flat 9,thats the sound of vinnies early stuff,plus malmsteen,tony mcalpine etc

neoclassical shred from 87.

hope this helps,sorry dont mean to sound like a teacher or some shit.

He's an amazing guitarist, and -- from all accounts -- a really decent guy. It's a bit weird to see him looking EXACTLY like Gino Vannelli circa "A Pauper in Paradise"

[LAKAIGUY27]

Is that backing riff already from a song of his?

Because it's amazing.

Dig that hair what year was this made

[anibal2sorto]

@mrcrackheadcoke This looks like maybe the early 80's im guessing

[shredfactor7]

@mrcrackheadcoke This was made right before his first solo album Minds Eye... My favorite guitarist for sure..

[VikingPowerlifter]

@shredfactor7 no bro this was made AFTER mind's eye he even uses an example during his pedal tone licks from the song Lifeforce...my favorite guitarist too...

[shredfactor7]

@VikingPowerlifter My bad...

[GibsonGuy15]

No, shredfactor7 is right, this was just before Mind's Eye was released. Just because he was playing the licks from Lifeforce doesn't mean the album was out...for example, Eric Johnson was playing Trail of Tears live 2 years before Tones came out.

Haha same, 1987.
