Re: Questions for Vinnie

Here's a question: Why don't you pull out your best guitar, best recording gear, get your chops back and release your MAGNUM OPUS before it's too late? Why not make it the best it can be and release it FREE to anybody who placed an order for the archives tapes 20 years ago? Die with a clear conscien...

How Could Vinnie Make Amends for the Box Set Archives Debacle?

I never fully realized that fans paid $100.00 - $200.00 for recordings they never received. No wonder VV is a recluse. How freaking embarrassing! Not sure how the guy can live with himself. I feel like crap if somebody buys me a lunch or coffee or something...don't feel ok until I can return the fav...

Re: Red Charvel 1

Tom Palecki of Arizona Guitars will build you your dream guitar! Ed Roman Guitars will too but I would look at their site for ideas and then have Tom Palecki build it for you. http://www.edroman.com/customshop/customshop.htm Yes, you're right, I'm just disgusted with the lack of choices so sorry fo...

Re: REH Video...Did anybody here Learn those licks?..

I tried the 18/12 pull offs the other day on my acoustic....pretty hard reach and to do it FAST is going to be difficult! Vinnie's super snap of the little pinky on that one is really, REALLY fast ! You can't recognise the string change! ..you can hardly even recognise the 3 string groupthat go tog...

At least the notes of that lick are piss easy to remember, same on each string.....and it's something you could almost mindlessly play while watching TV unplugged ...I remember trying to learn the decending triads in the solo for Ride The Lightning and again, not hard to remember but I couldn't kee...

You are correct! I just spent the last 20mins trying to locate it... But it's fret 18...lol Hmmm...you may be right. I was playing along with vinnie last night and what we were playing was in tune and all but didn't match the tab. I thought he was playing the 20th fret while the tab had 19... His i...

Re: REH Video...Did anybody here Learn those licks?..

Ha ha, I just noticed that the next to last lick, the series of flat 5s, has a major mistake in the tab. (Fret 20 not 19 in the tab). Wow, simple lick. Sounds good fast. Maybe tons of repetition over a few weeks would get that one up to Vinnie's speed....

Glad you guys enjoyed the Ace-fest! Thanks! I think I memorized about 50 of his solos. The hardest for me (and simplest) is the solo on 100,000 years!

Vinnie Guitar Fans, I want to hear what other guitarists who are into Vinnie Vincent are playing. Telling a guitar teacher you want to learn Vinnie Vincent licks hasn't gotten me anywhere. Nobody I've met takes it seriously. I think it's because Vinnie Vincent sounds like the name of a kid cartoon v...

I own the crimson-bolt version. I was guessing that yours was the silver-bolt ? YES, They are POOPY. Yup, mine was black silver. That body shape has potential, however. Very well balanced, you could sit with it in std and classical positions, looks kinda like a bc rich ironbird...even better. A bc ...
