UFO's Vinnie Moore - Guitar Lesson
For me, I'm in the beginning was the traditional guys like Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page of course, and Bryan May, those are the guys that made me want to start playing guitar.
And then from there, when I start to really getting into it—I mean, it was—I got in a fusion guys like —, Larry Carlton; and some Jazz guys because my teacher was in the Jazz, so he turned me on the Joe Pass and Pat Martino, and I just loved anything that was good. It didn’t have to be just Rock—you know—any style of music.
Anybody doing anything really inspired and really good was great for me to hear. And I started listening to stuff that wasn’t even guitar oriented like John Coltrane and Dizzy Galespi and Charlie Parker.
Also from the very beginning I was into Albert King. My stepfather had an Albert King Livewire Blues Record and I put that on one day and I thought “Hmm, what’s this?” and he was just smoking up the Blues and so I was totally into that record; and you know, also Chuck Berry and BB King and the early days.
Now everything, Trower, Hendrix, and Santana, anything good— you know, it’s there to be inspired by.
“Fly”—there’s a couple of cool parts in that one. I think this is the first time I’ve ever written a one finger riff and actually it’s this one—sorry, that I finger it with. But it’s like the silliest thing I’ve ever done to I think, but it’s kind of cool, it goes like this.
