Vinnie Moore: guitar messenger interview
LD: Let’s go back to the Shrapnel Days. Amongst that whole stable of artists, you were known for having a really clean picking technique. Can you talk about how you developed that in your shedding days?
VM: I used to do a LOT of right hand picking exercises and it really focused and concentrated me. I grew up and I heard Al DiMeola and he was just a master of picking fast with the staccato and the harmonic minor and I just thought “Wow! That’s amazing! I’ll never be able to do that.” I figured if I could just come close it would be really cool. So I really started to get into that style.
I started doing this workout routine with my right arm. It lasted 60 minutes a day. It was just over and over “upstroke-downstroke,” alternate picking back and forth. I just got way better to the point where the 60 minute workout started to take almost 35. I was getting quicker at it and I could see progress. It helped to not only get my right hand better but to get my left and right hand more in sync with one another.
LD: What was the revelatory Al DiMeola album that first pointed you towards that style and drove you to practice that hard?
VM: Casino. Elegant Gypsy was great, but Casino was my favorite. more

News: Polyrhythm metronome, surely a fusion players delight!
You can listen to many polyrhythms such as this one here:http://www.bouncemetronome.com/Polyrhythm_Metronomes/index.htm
Idea is to make videos for all those polyrhythms - to show the capabilities of the metronome and also as a reference and resource for anyone who wants to find out about polyrhythms and listen to examples.
You can play these at any tempo including continually varying tempo with Bounce Metronome Pro - after the download look for the Polyrhythm Metronome in the droplist of metronomes in the main window.
Find out more here:

Polyrhythm metronome in 3D playing: 2/4, 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, 11/4 with 13/4 simultaneously

Yngwie Malmsteen: In The Dead Of Night - LIVE
There is a story that goes along the lines of Jens Johansson was playing Presto Vivace and Reprise from the UK album in a local music store during an American tour... then in pops Shawn Lane and the two duet on the track... only for Yngwie to see this happening and not be very happy with Jens for the rest of the tour... anyone care to corroborate that?
Anyway, who cares... I think it just shows what great taste Yngwie had covering one of the best progressive albums of the late 1970's, and in my opinion's one of the pest progressive albums of all time. UK - UK, featuring the stunning guitar work of Allan Holdsworth and keyboards of Eddie Jobson and the brilliant drums of Bill Bruford and the vocals of John Wetton. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_(band)
In this live video it features Mark Boals (in my opinion Yngwie's best singer) . I would love Yngwie to take a more progressive approach to his playing as his legato playing is just awesome.
