Vinnie Moore: modern guitars interview

Vinnie Moore:
They always grow during the recording process but I have a studio at home, which is where I record, and I'll record the tunes to loops or drum patterns and with this record I totally finished most of the tracks at home and then the drums and bass were added after. There might have been about three songs where I actually played after the drums.

I'm very meticulous when I demo things. In the past I've laid down demos and they end up sounding just like the record and I'd have to go back and redo the whole thing again in the studio. Now that the technology has gotten better I can lay everything down at home and then just add the other instruments later which saves me from having to do the whole album over again. It's great to be able to capture the initial inspiration and get it down on tape instead of having to go back and redo it when the initial inspiration isn't there anymore.
