I tried to find this topic before I started a new one. I was listening to an interview and the guest was saying he had seen Vinnie in a guitar store around 2002 or so and that it looked like "he never had any chops" I've heard people say he can't play anymore. Where did this start and do you believe there is any truth to it?

Vinnie's late wife Diane (RIP) stated many times that Vinnie often played an acoustic guitar whilst sitting around the house.

I hope he can and still does play.

I'm sure someone of Vinnie's caliber, even after years of playing nothing, could play rings around me.

People may lose chops as time goes by, but Vinnie has so much in the chops department he will never fully run out. If that makes sense, lol.
