My Take

Vinnie Moore came out of the 1980s shred explosion with Mind's Eye, an album that instantly put him in the conversation with the genre's elite, but what I admire is that he never got stuck there. Instead of endless scale-running, he developed real melodic taste, which is exactly why his long tenure in UFO works so well. Filling Michael Schenker's shoes is a brutal assignment, and Moore did it with class rather than imitation. He's a guitarist's guitarist who somehow stayed tasteful, and that restraint is rarer than raw speed.

Overview

Vinnie Moore (born April 14, 1964) is an American guitarist known both for his instrumental solo albums and as the longtime lead guitarist of the British hard rock band UFO. He rose to prominence in the 1980s neoclassical and shred guitar movement with his debut solo album Mind's Eye. He has been a member of UFO since 2003.
