From Out of Nowhere (1996). Out of Nowhere is the fourth studio album by guitarist Vinnie Moore, released on April 16, 1996, through Mayhem Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG550 Genesis through a Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 100, the rig we use for Vinnie Moore's other songs from Out of Nowhere, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
