Lick of the Day: "Off the Hook" Riff by Vinnie Moore
Today's free Lick of the Day comes from legendary shredder Vinnie Moore, who shows you a lick that can only be described as "off the hook."
Actually, the riff -- which Vinne calls "a Hendrixy, bluesy, funky rhythm in A" -- is taken from Vinnie's song "Off the Hook," which comes from his 2009 solo album, To The Core.
