Vinnie Moore

Vincent “Vinnie” Moore (born April 14, 1964) is an American guitarist and a member of the British hard rock band UFO.  Moore was born in New Castle, Delaware. He began his professional career at age 12 after receiving a guitar as a Christmas present. During a 2018 interview, Moore stated, “I got my first guitar for Christmas when I was like 12, basically just because I saw a picture of a guitar in a catalog, a JCPenney’s catalog. I thought, ‘Hey that looks pretty cool. I want that.’ That was my motivation at the time, and I got it for Christmas, and really didn’t bother with it a whole lot. Then, I started taking lessons for the next year. Then I really started to get obsessed with it.” During that same interview, Moore was asked who his earliest teachers were, and he stated, “The first teacher was Mary Biddle, and I studied for a year with her, just some basic lessons at the local music shop. After about a year, I had advanced, and she referred me to another guy named Nick Bucci, who was a great player in my local area. He was studying jazz guitar with Pat Martino, and was also a rock guy, and he just taught me a lot of stuff; theory, and exercises, and all different kinds of stuff to make me become a better player and musician.”
