He's almost there but still not serving the song/tune - Malmsteen has always been about showing off, which he does well but when you talk of feel, then playing with feel that serves the song is what it's all about, regardless of speed.
@rasa108 ok if you cannot see his emotion and his face in this video, then idk what is up with you. many make these comments also because they are not as good or wisht they were as fast. but when speed comes into play, they use that as a scapegoat. sad.
@rasa108 I'm getting sick of these comments about these phenomenal, that play fast, and "feeling". You know, I know you probably can't feel what he's playing, and I do. Yngwie can play a hundred miles and hours sometimes and I bet he feels ever note he plays.
Feeling is an arguable concept. To me It's not only playing what you feel, it is playing WHAT THE SONG makes you feel. It seems Malmsteen "feels" he need to play fast even when the song tells him to play slow, or maybe he plays fast just to show his scale knowledge.
I don't care if you don't like the music he makes, or the way he plays it. What you have to admit, no matter what style you like, is that this motherfucker is one of the greatest guitarists alive, and i doubt anyone watching, including myself, could play like that!
love malmsteenn love his feeling but blues is something that belongs neither to VAi, or malmsteen,,, let it for BB KING... jimi, and other...alike clapton....
howd i know the stupid no "feeling" argument would be on here - feeling has do with perceived emotion through phrasing and vibrato - and malmsteen has SICK phrasing AND vibrato....he has SOUL..
you fuckin said man i get people tellin me that shit all the time dont play fast you got to feel it and im like motherfucker i am feeling it otherwise i wouldnt fuckin do it
Yngwie is awesome but the blues is about cutting out the filler and making the few notes that ARE played mean more than all the filler yngwie is using.
Are you guys serious?? You don't think he can play the blues? He just fucking killed the blues man. Blues doesn't have to be super slow to have meaning... I felt what he was saying here.
@Akinnss first people criticize him for only playing one style and as soon as he does something different people like you still have something to complain about. SHUT UP! damn.
The fact alone that someone categorizes playing as...fast or slow... shows that he has no clue about music whatsoever.A book with 1000 pages isnt rumbling just as another with 100 isnt necessarily a..masterpiece.There are certain emotions you just cant get without fast lines.The build up and the tension speedy lines create makes it much more enjoyable when they resolve for example in a single wide slow vibrato.Just like emotions there isnt only laugh or cry but many others in the middle too.
The Yngwie cant play Blues jokes are old. I guess when confronted with an actual maestro the jokes are a good substitute for cupping your sack in the fetal position. Yngwie could face off with anybody in a blues setting and convey feel and soul in his own way. Ive seen with it with my own two eyes.
@ericmusic13 Dude, you're like the thousandth person to say that, and not just on Yngwie videos. Main problem is, you leave the average person in the dust with this stuff. It's easy for a real professional to play like that, it's a lot harder to use all the same ideas in something simpler. Simple stuff reaches the ears of many more people.
@idkwhattonamemyself think that a good player is a player who is able to play slow, but this doesn't mean that you can't put fast licks in your playing. I'm not especially a fan of Yngwie, and he's not a blues player at all, but he has his own vision. Ask Jeff Beck to play a blues, he would put some fusion licks inside. Malmsteen is a shredder, he plays what he feels to be a good solo.I wasn't defending him, i just say that feelings and speed can get on together sometimes (SRV, Knopfler...)
@ericmusic13 I dont share your point of view. Playing fast is not equal to 'emotion' or 'no emotion' First of all depends on what you call emotion, but... any piece...if it keeps sounding the same ALL the time it gets boring...on the contrary if you have speed and slow passages at the same time it gets interesting, This guy only plays scales up and down and ostinatos there is no expression in doing so at all... He has an excellent technique but he's music lacks interesting material.
To the noob community i suggest to take a listen to the late jeff healey and his song..see the light...then you might get what screaming blues is all about.He was blind,played guitar on his lap and still was able to make it wail with tons of feel....too many notes...too little notes...more distortion..less distortion...i wonder when some people will actually learn to...listen..and not sticking to overworn cliches...probably never...lololol.
The polite, socially acceptable and politically correct thing to say is "where there is skill and proficiency, there can be no emotion" and you know that that's a lie perpetuated by sore losers and wannabes, and used as a way for lousy players to get away with lousy playing. YJM is great, Albert King is great, but there are a bunch of White Boy Guitar Hero Stevie Ray Vaughan Rip Offs out there who need to stop stinking up the world, we've heard enough of your off key wankery.
@lexguitar iam pretty sure there isnt a style called shred.Just as iam pretty sure those were blues licks with very good phrasing...oh and the backing track was a blues progression too...Just cause its faster than you like doesnt make it more or less blues.
If anybody saw G3, dont remember wich one, but i think it was kinda vai and satch or petrucci something, but he pwned their motherfucking ass in blues!!:o
@adamsvok blues aint the only music with feeling, its what touches u personally....i would much rather listen to classical music all day, and also if he feels it then he does have the feel, if u dont feel it, it doesnt mean he doesnt have the feel it means u dont like his style
i dont like his style too much (especially the neo-classical one), but THIS........This is the 2000000000th time i watched this god-like blues jam!!!!!!!
Who says blues always have to be slow ? have u ever hearD clapton , he also shreds sometimes, who ever said there are rules in music ??!!! if yngwie wants to play blues with js bach licks in between WELL WHO ARE U TO SAY HE CANT !! YNGWIE CAN PLAY WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS BECAUSE HE IS THE GUITARGOD
@KJOCHO what is it then mate?metal? fusion? reggae? pop? industrial? thrash?He invented another style altogether?Get off your high horse this is blues.Maybe not the kind you like to hear but blues nontheless.
People who say he has no feel have no EAR. This is fast, but it's real blues. He's tearing it up here. Not on par with Roy Buchanan but still damn good.
@Naturyl Exactly! He's not as familiar with blues styles such as Clapton, but he has total smoothness as any blues player. He most certainly doesn't suck at blues. It's impossible when you've put in as much time as he has.
Really bad whammy finger (Vibrato) that takes away from the blues. This was actually a good video compared to his other videos I've seen of his mindless shredding that has no feel.
@SpecialEdAllstar Maybe you should achieve what he achieved and then talk about him? Yngwie dont play's fast just because its cool he playes it because thats what he likes to do!!Maybe Elmore or Buckethead can do something but they cant do even half of the things that Yngwie do!Oh forgot to mention that Yngwie created the neo-classical style.. And also what you said about talent is just funny, yngwie is hundred times more talented than Buckethead! I'll tell you more on my next comment
@palsby22 Most of that praise was given a long time ago and the only people continuing to give it are pathetic fan tards. Yngwie does not matter anymore. Notes per minute does not matter at all you fucking retard. Its the artistry behind them that matters. Yngwie is not an artist. He has skill, but no real talent. You can teach speed but talent is something you have or you don't - and he has none. What he does is a neat party trick, nothing more, and it got old 25 years ago.
@SpecialEdAllstar Talent is how he writes those neoclassical masterpieces that inspired thousands of people to pick up and give up guitar. Congrats, you just summed up 30 years of his career into a "party trick"
This is garbage not blues. In blues less is so much more. All this faggot can do is play fast. He is kind of a boss for managing to freeze time in1984 and never moving on. Blues has soul and emotion. This has nothing. BORING. One trick pony and no weight to his playing. Any retard with time can play fast. He can't write music. He is not an artist. He is just some joke from the 80's with a Huge Ego, bad hair, and no real talent for creating.
@Buckethead7777777777 A little bit yes. I ended up hear after listening to some Elmore James. Fucking youtube. Elmore did more with one note than Yngwie has done in his entire life. I have a great deal of respect for Buckethead as he is an actual artist and he is willing to experiment. Yngwie is a cheap party trick. Its just middle aged people with mullets and acid washed jeans that buy his music.
@SpecialEdAllstar Maybe you should achieve what he achieved and then talk about him? Yngwie dont play's fast just because its cool he playes it because thats what he likes to do!!Maybe Elmore or Buckethead can do something but they cant do even half of the things that Yngwie do!Oh forgot to mention that Yngwie created the neo-classical style.. And also what you said about talent is just funny, yngwie is hundred times more talented than Buckethead! I'll tell you more on my next comment
@SpecialEdAllstar First playing fast cannot be teached because I know guys which they play for above 6 years and they just cannot play fast its a gift thats why.. I could explain you in scientific reasons why everyone cannot do the things that yngwie do but it is long believe me!Like you say it does not matter how fast you play but still Yngwie dont play fast just because its cool he play's fast because thats how he likes it!
@KMCraft I didnt say I can play like that, I am at yngwie's side!! You do have a point that some people even with trying cant do it for years, but there are people who do it after only 2 years playing.. and I play his songs, at first they were hard they are still hard but at places, but even after 10 years I cannot have his atitude and his style, its not that I want.. I think his technique is not that abnormal there are faster players, but his style is what it makes him amazing!!
@MrEdischu Maybe so, but it my personal opinion his music doesn't sound that great. Thats why he's not that popular world wide because he focuses on extremly hard stuff, which is phenominal but doesn't sound that great. Hate on me all you want but if you ask most people if they like his songs they would say no and thats a fact
@KMCraft You shouldnt say why others are not popular if you dont know what you talk about.. He was at the top in the 80's!!! and thats a fact! People listen to the new!! and you shouldnt decide which sounds great or not.. Keeping yourself at the top is very hard you are not immortal also! What is your point? After 20 years you expect nows superstars to still be at the top some of them will be maybe but not all of them will remain there! Slowly, more coming..
@KMCraft People have said many times to me "man I dont like this song" dont play it.. but that makes me play it more! then the gig explodes and they come running to me with "Maaan that was awesome, briliant" because I showed them character and style!! Learn a little psychology, how your brain works.. and here read something smart "There is always Black and White, it depends on you"
Second: He showed the world once..He doesnt needs to do it again.
Third:Most of the people liked him then, most of the people doesnt like him now..
Time changes, Time kills, Time heals.. I guess now you see why your comment is wrong, your taste is not wrong.. you should have real skills to talk about things in the music, not only skills but you should be experienced and know about the life and the time..
@MrEdischu Yngwie is phenominal at guitar and still is. If you compare eric clapton to yngwie malmsteen you might see my point, for raw talent and ability yngwie malmsteen is ten times a better musician than clapton but the reason clapton was a bigger success is because he played more melodically and with the greater public in mind yngwie just focus's on speed 9/10 and is more of a showy mind of guy eric just played what sounded good
@KMCraft Did you miss my point? I know Clapton is far more popular and he deserves to be, his music is special!!!! Clapton has made men cry.. Yngwie is not focusing on speed his speed doesnt impress me his sound his brilliant ideas impress me, I am also very skilled and I play 13 notes for a second and I know playing fast with classical sound is a style and he has fast rhytms in order to add energy.. More on my next coment make sure you read them carefully!
@KMCraft First of all Eric Clapton has suffered a lot and he is not playing what sounds good to others he is expressing himself and he also has a special art!!Yngwie is not showy he is naturally playing fast notes as he feels them just like Clapton does in his slow breath taking soul performances.Thats why we're all different.I dont compare Clapton and Yngwie sometimes I like more Clapton sometimes I like more Yngwie depends on the mood!!I got your point from your first comment I am not stupid..
@MrEdischu I get your point i just don't think your getting mine, stevie ray vaughn is in my opinion a better guitarist not because of his technical skill but because of his feel for the music. I personally don't think yngwie sounds good and he is very repeatative. I what i mean by this is that his songs sound similar.
@KMCraft in the music world talent is only a beginning after that it takes will and orginality to be at the top,I got your point youre basicly saying Malmsteen playes fast and thats why he is not popular?Also giving me examples to make me understand,I do-He is popular its just that you dont like his sound and he is not trying to show off with his speed!I am talking about music and style there not for speed and talent!
@MrEdischu I am not saying its because he plays fast hes not popular at all! all i said was he plays kind of the same stuff. I am not "jealus" of his musical ability and he is very musically talented, i heard he learnt all of deep purples stuff by the ages of 9? I you don't understand a musician you like or dislike them based on your opinion, i personally think he is repeatative and in my opinion thats the reason he didn't become really famous
@KMCraft its not repeatative its just that Malmsteen has developed style that not everyone likes.. and Im correcting your facts, he is famous and he was at the top that means he was the most famous, he has almost 10 000 000 views on his clip arpeggios from hell and you are telling me he's not famous?Almost every person here from the older generation knows the name Malmsteen and they like him!Thats why I said dont add your taste..
@KMCraft and also being famous now means that you have to play NEW rock or sing rap and all those new stuff.. He is popular to the hard rock and also he is popular to the musicians and to heavy metal listeneners.. go on his gigg and see how many people are there.. and you will change your mind for his music and also for his popularity.. watch?v=paHugvyOZZ4 as a musician I cannot afford to judge and say he does the same, somepeople go crazy on his songs..
@KMCraft If you want to compliment Malmsteen about something compliment him on his art on his style and music, not for his god damn speed, I know you may not like his sound or you could be just jealus or maybe other reasons, If you dont like him just say so no one has the right to tell you what you should like, but you shouldnt give critics to things you dont understand, even if you do understand dont do it with your taste!I am not angry, I am telling you as a musician! Read my comments well..
@SpecialEdAllstar Doesnt matters who buy his music those middle age people are still human like you are! Remember we all die young! and its not just that its a matter of taste if you like Elmore you will buy elmore If I like Metallica I will buy metallica thats it!!Stop making yourself look like a fool.. ! its obvius none of my friends talked about Elmore but all of them did say a thing for Yngwie!
@SpecialEdAllstar And also Yngwie has godlike talent, not only he can play the way he do, he can write songs and sing and show character while playing live, and he also has his originality with the sound with the notes with the looks with the guitar and with his musicality!! Deny it If you can?! Because when I talk I talk with knowledge..
@SpecialEdAllstar Yngwie is one of the most praised guitarists in the world. I see a lot of people whining about him playing too fast though. I guess a lot of people just have so little musicality in them that they can only feel music if it's 1 note per minute. Too bad for them.
How is this blues!? He's a great shreder, but playing that many notes defeats the purpose of the entire genre. You can't put feeling into a note if there are 10 million of them.
Are you fucking kidding me, kid? SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, etc. have all played beyond 11 notes per second on so many occasions. Hendrix's Woodstock version of VooDoo Child has licks with 32nd notes at over 100bpm which is a hell of a lot faster than anything Yngwie plays in this clip.
Blues is all about the rhythm. Rhythm can be varied and enriched by using more note durations, which is exactly what Yngwie is doing. It's your own fault that you don't get it, know your place.
@whatshendrix calm down bro, we can all discuss this without raising our testosterone levels. There is a time to play fast, but shredding the entire song just isn't blues. Also, that is a ridiculous amount of gain. Also, I just think yngwie is boring to listen to. Just like I think George Kollias is boring, even though technically he is accomplished. And my place is to have my own opinion. Funny how art works huh?
Have an opinion on subjective matters. The objective part of this is that people enjoy every note he plays regardless of how you think the blues should be played. Your place is one where you know shit compared to Yngwie - when you start complaining about the sound of someone who's made rock history, you are being arrogant. Hendrix used a lot more gain than Yngwie, not only because he wanted to, but because there was no helping it when you're playing through his gear.
@whatshendrix I think you just really like Yngwie. It's okay, we can disagree on that. I'm not saying he's bad, just that he isn't much a blues player. Which is true considering he built his career around being a shredder. And how is music ever not subjective to some degree? That is the point, that everyone gets something different out of it.
Yeah, people get the blues out of this and you're saying that it's not blues... Listen to yourself.
The music is an object, it has objective tangible qualities. The subjective part is how you perceive it, in other words - how well you understand it or misunderstand it and what you relate it to. Regardless of how you delude yourself about it, there's always an idea behind it and you are utterly missing it in this case due to your prejudices and misconceptions about blues.
LOL No - you are saying "How is this blues!?", which is judgment. Unless you apply music theory to back your shit, I'd be absolutely right to call your judgment arrogant, ignorant and dimwitted.
If TO YOU it's not blues, then the problem lies with you because every lick he played is a perfect example of a blues lick. In fact most of his licks in this video have been played by absolutely every other blues guitarist, you're just new to this and you don't get it.
Malmsteen is known for two things - neo classical metal and blues, it's been said a million times.
Talking vaguely about how many notes he plays is completely irrelevant - blues is about licks, not about keeping track of the number of notes lol
If you knew what you were talking about you'd be dissecting his phrasing and rhythm (both of which are true to the blues), but those are concepts which you don't understand and your ears aren't trained enough to notice such things.
@whatshendrix lol blues isnt about licks, blues is about putting your soul into the music and expressing your self through an instrument, this i just witnessed was horrible blues, he should just stick to metal
@whatshendrix dude blues is about the spaces you leave and the tension you build, if he can do that without trying to show off then it would be all good,but i think thats why he gets all the hate from die hard blues fans is because he cant do that. notice he dosent stop playing throughout that whole thing and has no dynamic changes nor rarley does he live. but your right he is know for his blues and how much people shouldent try to play blues like that.
I've pointed out some facts about Malmsteen's playing. You'll either understand them after a few years OR you'll never learn anything. It's not my interest to show you that you know dick about music.
@whatshendrix your right i dont know a single thing about music my bad. yngwie playe blues better than clapton,srv, and hendrix because he has technical ability and can play really fast thats all music is about, sorry i wasted your time.
@Squweesh Hang on a minute...you're saying Malsteen is a better blues player than SRV, Hendrix & Clapton? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@Squweesh i hate when people say its the space between. music is about the choice of notes, and how your feeling when you play them, fool. its not about waiting 2 seconds to bend the same note 15 times in a row to slowly bring the bend down to the original note position
It's not about YOUR emotions, it's about the player's emotions. Yngwie's emotions are wild and bad-ass and that's exactly what he relates in his playing.
I RESPECT MALMSTEEN...BUT THE ONLY BLUES I HEAR IS THE BACKING TRACK!!!.. by the way Malmsteen himself said that anyone who claims that he´s better guitar player than SRV is a stupid...
wow that is amazing. yngwie plays blues better than any non american i've ever heard. He plays blues like its in his blood like the guys who started playing it. this is an awesome piece. love it.
Yngwie....(Ingvey) for the idiot below me. You should be slaughtered for pronouncing this god's name wrong..

Feeling is an arguable concept. To me It's not only playing what you feel, it is playing WHAT THE SONG makes you feel. It seems Malmsteen "feels" he need to play fast even when the song tells him to play slow, or maybe he plays fast just to show his scale knowledge.

To the noob community i suggest to take a listen to the late jeff healey and his song..see the light...then you might get what screaming blues is all about.He was blind,played guitar on his lap and still was able to make it wail with tons of feel....too many notes...too little notes...more distortion..less distortion...i wonder when some people will actually learn to...listen..and not sticking to overworn cliches...probably never...lololol.

The polite, socially acceptable and politically correct thing to say is "where there is skill and proficiency, there can be no emotion" and you know that that's a lie perpetuated by sore losers and wannabes, and used as a way for lousy players to get away with lousy playing. YJM is great, Albert King is great, but there are a bunch of White Boy Guitar Hero Stevie Ray Vaughan Rip Offs out there who need to stop stinking up the world, we've heard enough of your off key wankery.

@palsby22 Most of that praise was given a long time ago and the only people continuing to give it are pathetic fan tards. Yngwie does not matter anymore. Notes per minute does not matter at all you fucking retard. Its the artistry behind them that matters. Yngwie is not an artist. He has skill, but no real talent. You can teach speed but talent is something you have or you don't - and he has none. What he does is a neat party trick, nothing more, and it got old 25 years ago.

This is garbage not blues. In blues less is so much more. All this faggot can do is play fast. He is kind of a boss for managing to freeze time in1984 and never moving on. Blues has soul and emotion. This has nothing. BORING. One trick pony and no weight to his playing. Any retard with time can play fast. He can't write music. He is not an artist. He is just some joke from the 80's with a Huge Ego, bad hair, and no real talent for creating.

I have a great deal of respect for Buckethead as he is an actual artist and he is willing to experiment. Yngwie is a cheap party trick. Its just middle aged people with mullets and acid washed jeans that buy his music.

@SpecialEdAllstar First playing fast cannot be teached because I know guys which they play for above 6 years and they just cannot play fast its a gift thats why.. I could explain you in scientific reasons why everyone cannot do the things that yngwie do but it is long believe me!Like you say it does not matter how fast you play but still Yngwie dont play fast just because its cool he play's fast because thats how he likes it!

@MrEdischu I only just jumped in this arguement but if you think that after 6 years you can play like that, then you are sadly mistaken

@KMCraft I didnt say I can play like that, I am at yngwie's side!! You do have a point that some people even with trying cant do it for years, but there are people who do it after only 2 years playing.. and I play his songs, at first they were hard they are still hard but at places, but even after 10 years I cannot have his atitude and his style, its not that I want.. I think his technique is not that abnormal there are faster players, but his style is what it makes him amazing!!
MrEdischu 2 months ago
@MrEdischu Maybe so, but it my personal opinion his music doesn't sound that great. Thats why he's not that popular world wide because he focuses on extremly hard stuff, which is phenominal but doesn't sound that great. Hate on me all you want but if you ask most people if they like his songs they would say no and thats a fact
KMCraft 2 months ago
@KMCraft You shouldnt say why others are not popular if you dont know what you talk about.. He was at the top in the 80's!!! and thats a fact! People listen to the new!! and you shouldnt decide which sounds great or not.. Keeping yourself at the top is very hard you are not immortal also! What is your point? After 20 years you expect nows superstars to still be at the top some of them will be maybe but not all of them will remain there! Slowly, more coming..

MrEdischu 2 months ago
@MrEdischu Yngwie is phenominal at guitar and still is. If you compare eric clapton to yngwie malmsteen you might see my point, for raw talent and ability yngwie malmsteen is ten times a better musician than clapton but the reason clapton was a bigger success is because he played more melodically and with the greater public in mind yngwie just focus's on speed 9/10 and is more of a showy mind of guy eric just played what sounded good
KMCraft 2 months ago
@KMCraft Did you miss my point? I know Clapton is far more popular and he deserves to be, his music is special!!!! Clapton has made men cry.. Yngwie is not focusing on speed his speed doesnt impress me his sound his brilliant ideas impress me, I am also very skilled and I play 13 notes for a second and I know playing fast with classical sound is a style and he has fast rhytms in order to add energy.. More on my next coment make sure you read them carefully!
MrEdischu 2 months ago
@KMCraft First of all Eric Clapton has suffered a lot and he is not playing what sounds good to others he is expressing himself and he also has a special art!!Yngwie is not showy he is naturally playing fast notes as he feels them just like Clapton does in his slow breath taking soul performances.Thats why we're all different.I dont compare Clapton and Yngwie sometimes I like more Clapton sometimes I like more Yngwie depends on the mood!!I got your point from your first comment I am not stupid..
MrEdischu 2 months ago
@MrEdischu I get your point i just don't think your getting mine, stevie ray vaughn is in my opinion a better guitarist not because of his technical skill but because of his feel for the music. I personally don't think yngwie sounds good and he is very repeatative. I what i mean by this is that his songs sound similar.
KMCraft 2 months ago
@KMCraft in the music world talent is only a beginning after that it takes will and orginality to be at the top,I got your point youre basicly saying Malmsteen playes fast and thats why he is not popular?Also giving me examples to make me understand,I do-He is popular its just that you dont like his sound and he is not trying to show off with his speed!I am talking about music and style there not for speed and talent!
MrEdischu 2 months ago
@MrEdischu I am not saying its because he plays fast hes not popular at all! all i said was he plays kind of the same stuff. I am not "jealus" of his musical ability and he is very musically talented, i heard he learnt all of deep purples stuff by the ages of 9? I you don't understand a musician you like or dislike them based on your opinion, i personally think he is repeatative and in my opinion thats the reason he didn't become really famous
KMCraft 2 months ago
@KMCraft its not repeatative its just that Malmsteen has developed style that not everyone likes.. and Im correcting your facts, he is famous and he was at the top that means he was the most famous, he has almost 10 000 000 views on his clip arpeggios from hell and you are telling me he's not famous?Almost every person here from the older generation knows the name Malmsteen and they like him!Thats why I said dont add your taste..
MrEdischu 2 months ago
@KMCraft and also being famous now means that you have to play NEW rock or sing rap and all those new stuff.. He is popular to the hard rock and also he is popular to the musicians and to heavy metal listeneners.. go on his gigg and see how many people are there.. and you will change your mind for his music and also for his popularity.. watch?v=paHugvyOZZ4 as a musician I cannot afford to judge and say he does the same, somepeople go crazy on his songs..
MrEdischu 2 months ago
@KMCraft If you want to compliment Malmsteen about something compliment him on his art on his style and music, not for his god damn speed, I know you may not like his sound or you could be just jealus or maybe other reasons, If you dont like him just say so no one has the right to tell you what you should like, but you shouldnt give critics to things you dont understand, even if you do understand dont do it with your taste!I am not angry, I am telling you as a musician! Read my comments well..

How is this blues!? He's a great shreder, but playing that many notes defeats the purpose of the entire genre. You can't put feeling into a note if there are 10 million of them.
34methylenedioxy 6 months ago
@34methylenedioxy
Are you fucking kidding me, kid? SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, etc. have all played beyond 11 notes per second on so many occasions. Hendrix's Woodstock version of VooDoo Child has licks with 32nd notes at over 100bpm which is a hell of a lot faster than anything Yngwie plays in this clip.
Blues is all about the rhythm. Rhythm can be varied and enriched by using more note durations, which is exactly what Yngwie is doing. It's your own fault that you don't get it, know your place.
whatshendrix 5 months ago
@whatshendrix calm down bro, we can all discuss this without raising our testosterone levels. There is a time to play fast, but shredding the entire song just isn't blues. Also, that is a ridiculous amount of gain. Also, I just think yngwie is boring to listen to. Just like I think George Kollias is boring, even though technically he is accomplished. And my place is to have my own opinion. Funny how art works huh?
34methylenedioxy 5 months ago
@34methylenedioxy
Have an opinion on subjective matters. The objective part of this is that people enjoy every note he plays regardless of how you think the blues should be played. Your place is one where you know shit compared to Yngwie - when you start complaining about the sound of someone who's made rock history, you are being arrogant. Hendrix used a lot more gain than Yngwie, not only because he wanted to, but because there was no helping it when you're playing through his gear.
whatshendrix 5 months ago
@whatshendrix I think you just really like Yngwie. It's okay, we can disagree on that. I'm not saying he's bad, just that he isn't much a blues player. Which is true considering he built his career around being a shredder. And how is music ever not subjective to some degree? That is the point, that everyone gets something different out of it.
34methylenedioxy 5 months ago
@34methylenedioxy
Yeah, people get the blues out of this and you're saying that it's not blues... Listen to yourself.
The music is an object, it has objective tangible qualities. The subjective part is how you perceive it, in other words - how well you understand it or misunderstand it and what you relate it to. Regardless of how you delude yourself about it, there's always an idea behind it and you are utterly missing it in this case due to your prejudices and misconceptions about blues.

If TO YOU it's not blues, then the problem lies with you because every lick he played is a perfect example of a blues lick. In fact most of his licks in this video have been played by absolutely every other blues guitarist, you're just new to this and you don't get it.

Malmsteen is known for two things - neo classical metal and blues, it's been said a million times.
Talking vaguely about how many notes he plays is completely irrelevant - blues is about licks, not about keeping track of the number of notes lol
If you knew what you were talking about you'd be dissecting his phrasing and rhythm (both of which are true to the blues), but those are concepts which you don't understand and your ears aren't trained enough to notice such things.
