Vinnie heads home for a well earned rest, having been on-the road with UFO from September
then straight into the studio to record the new UFO album, 'Seven Deadly' and back on the road
for the solo European tour. Prior to all this, UFO toured the East coast (USA) before touring Germany
in the Summer cumulating at HellFest in France.
A solo appearnce at the Iridium in New York and recorded two episodes of 'That Metal Show'
on the West Coast makes this year one of the busiest ever. The UFO album was written during the year
so all and all a very busy time for VM.
The madness will start again in late February 2012 as the band kick of the tour on the 'Monsters of Rock Cruise'
to co-incide with their planned album release.
Vinnie Home to Italy = 7,707 km (4789 miles) - Tour distance from Italy to Madrid = 9,283 km (5,768 miles)
Madrid - Home = 6,953 km (4,321 miles) - TOTAL 14,000 miles approx

GUITAR WORLD - LICK OF THE DAY
Guitar World post their 'Lick of The Day' yesterday on Youtube and it has already had over 5,000 hits
Great for VM fans as its from the latest solo album 'To The core'' - one of my favourites, 'Off The Hook'.
It's a funky-sounding, Jimi Hendrix-inspired riff that features strummed octaves, double-stops,
pull-offs, subtle bends and fret-hand muting.
When playing through the lick's funky, syncopated rhythms,
Vinnie uses a pick-hand technique called "16th-note pendulum strumming." Pendulum strumming involves maintaining
a constant down-up-down-up strumming or picking motion regardless of whether or not every 16th-note rhythm is played.
As you can observe in the picking prompts, any chord or note that falls on the first or third 16th note (including eighth notes)
receives a downstroke, while any note falling on the second or fourth 16th note is played with an upstroke.
For rhythmic durations longer than a 16th note let the pick hand pass over the strings without touching them,
effectively producing a silent "ghost" strum while the previous note(s) continues to ring.
The bends are all performed by pulling the strings in toward the palm slightly.
The tempo is 115 beats per minute, 90 for slow practice.

TODAY: Dean Guitars publish a press release: DEAN GUITARS AND THE IRIDIUM PRESENT AN EXCLUSIVE SOLO PERFORMANCE Virtuoso guitarist VINNIE MOORE will treat New York City to a rare solo performance on July 25th at the esteemed IRIDIUM. Moore will be joined by bassist JOHN "JD" DeSERVIO of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, MIKE DiMEO of RIOT (vocals, keys) and drummer RICHIE MONICA of TANTRIC. The LES PAUL TRIO will open the show. Vinnie Moore has established a legion of loyal fans for his extensive work as a solo artist and as guitarist with esteemed acts such as UFO and ALICE COOPER. Vinnie is a musical innovator known for his progressive neo-classical guitar style. His diverse musical influences including Latin, jazz, rock and blues are all found within his stunning signature sound and melodic songwriting. Vinnie's career took flight in 1987 when his breakout debut album, 'Mind's Eye' sold over 100,000 copies. Vinnie was quickly heralded "best new talent" in Guitar Player, Guitar and Guitar World magazines. Vinnie's latest CD "To The Core" was released in May 2009 and has received critical acclaim worldwide. In 2003, Vinnie joined the legendary group UFO (Phil Mogg, vocals; Pete Way, bass; Jason Bonham, drums; Paul Raymond, keyboards). The band has since toured the UK, Europe and USA and released several very well-received CDs and DVDs. Vinnie is a Dean Guitars endorsed artist and has an impressive line of high-end signature Dean guitar models. He has conducted hundreds of guitar clinics around the world including the U.S., Japan, Scandinavia, Italy, Poland, Mexico, Canada, New Zealand, England, Germany and Australia and has released two instructional videos on the HotLicks® label. On doing clinics: "I like talking to the fans firsthand and learning from them. It's insightful to hear what they like about what I'm doing, and what they think about the guitar genre…and the whole music scene in general. I definitely feed off of their energy. It's cool to be part of a global guitar community, and it's an honor to know that I can sometimes inspire others to get excited by music and guitar. It always amazes me to me to hear that I have touched someone else by doing something that I love doing so much. I consider it a gift to be playing guitar and writing songs, and feel like one of the luckiest cats in the world to have fans." VINNIE MOORE AT THE IRIDIUM, JULY 25th sponsored by DEAN GUITARS, GUITAR WORLD and LIVESTREAM as part of Les Paul Tribute Mondays at the Iridium.
