I love the fact he is using a plectrum on a classical guitar, it gives it a very unique, plucky sound - I for one believe that it is up to the musician on what he or she wants the instrument to sound like and I find fingers and plectrums of different thicknesses give different tones and have their place on both electric and nylon guitars.
yngwie malmsteen restera le guitariste le plus inventif,c'est aussi un violoncelliste et un passionné de musique classique,cet album avec un orchestre symphonique est superbe.
The "popping" or "hard picking" sound that you're hearing is most likely due to a compression pedal or something like that. They tend to change the tone too much.
i think the reason why he's picking so hard is because he has that massive orchestra behind him and he's tryin to play a little louder than them so he can hear himself haha but thats just me guessing
I'm surprised that he uses that piece of poop guitar. There are so many hand built full body rich sounding classical acoustic guitars that sound so rich and full. This thin body, graphite thing with no sound hole just sounds dead. Caca.
@faithandpractice Pretty rude comment but would you tell him in real life the same thing as you post it here. And also a very critique christian. He is living big time and you comment about him and his choices.
@iMihaiCiprian You make it sound like I'm criticizing 'who he is' as a person. Heck everyone that knows me knows that I'm a HUGE YM Fan. Saw him front row center stave in 88. Amazing. I was just making an objective comment about his gear. Relax friend. Don't make it more than it is. "would you tell him in real life the same thing as you post it here" I absolutely would.
@faithandpractice thats because its not necissarily a classical guitar... if you look @0:36 as it zooms out from the guitar, under the gold piece on the top that you see is where the sound holes are, its a resonating guitar, not classical.
@davidjo15 It's true what your saying about the sound holes. In addition the guitar has a graphite back and sides. The same idea as the ovation guitars (it may very well be an ovation). The combination of the two makes an inferior sounding guitar (at least to my ear). Mad props to YM though. One of my favorites.
@faithandpractice perhaps he was looking for that specific sound to try and blend his guitar more into the other musicians in the room.. if you think about it why would a musician whose had years and years of experience and so many guitars use one like that without a purpose? Yes there are many full rich sounding guitars out there but maybe he chose this one for its chimey sound.. and the inferior sound could be recording quality too, who knows for sure.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This is a completely pointless circus sideshow. Nylon stringed acoustic-electric "guitar-on-a -stick", played with a pick... no dynamics or musicality whatsoever - just hammer it as loud and as fast as possible headbanger-style. The attempts at "pinch harmonics" were especially comical. Sorry Yngwie - that doesn't work without the high gain distortion. I doubt a single person in that orchestra was impressed. Nice pinky rings though.
@qsakif his greatest defect is that he does not push the envelope....it is one thing to have talent but it is a next thing to do something very unique with that talent...malmsteen rarely if ever strays in to the realm of strange and innovative...simply put he is too safe!!!
@qick07 This is unique... Replay the vid please. He's a metal guitarist, playing with an orchestra on a classical guitar, with a style that's quite unique and original.
@PODSpecial 1) he is not the first guitarist to play with an orchestra....2) his style has rarely ever strayed or differed from classical music...no one is saying he can't play and this is not amazing i'm saying he has never pushed beyond this unlike some of his counterparts who try to do new stuff like vai and satriani!!!
@qsakif his greatest defect is that he does not push the envelope....it is one thing to have talent but it is a next thing to do something very unique with that talent...malmsteen rarely if ever strays in to the realm of strange and innovative...simply put he is too safe!!!
@qsakif well, one serious problem i find in him is his lack of care with guitars. not hating or anything, but i find that a serious problem. it's something i admire about greats like steve vai and rory gallagher that they're always careful with their instruments, even when doing extreme things.
Mark Twain said of Richard Wagner, "his music is a lot better than it sounds", I think that's a pretty good description of this, guitar tone is awful.
@jakethesnake207 When an actor does certain facial expressions or cries when acting in let's say a "sad scene", does that mean he is actually sad? I don't think so. I kinda feel like this is more showing off than feeling. Also because he's f-ing headbanging in a kind of galloping, floaty piece. Makes no sense to me :') .. Also realise that the most sensitive and involved classical players often have a face like a rock. Does that mean they don't feel?
Although i think Yngwie is a massive talent, who , the sound is sort of horrible on the classical, maybe all the years of being on the rock treadmill have hurt his abilities, but even so to me he will always be a legend.
This sounds very good, but I think the nylon strings aren't doing it justice here. Steel string acoustic I think would sound a little better in this application.
i dissapointed with this song :( i though he would play it without pick, but no... :( is just another song like the others, just without distortions and with a electroacoustic guitar...
This reminds me of pirates of the carribean... He looks like one to me! But seriously there is nothing wrong with the acoustic, it sounds great and it's his best acoustic song yet
Come on, he's not playing it in a traditional style. I have to admit though that this particular mix is not the best but it's Malmsteen and it's still great.
@Musicartsandcoffee wrong ! they should mic the guitar and also conect that direct ,then mix both signal, t=hi guitar sound horrible muddy ...splash reverb ,,, that guitar should sound beautiful , like any classic guitar ..
is it just me or does the sound of a pick on nylon strings make others cringe like hearing fingernails on a chalk board, I've heard better tone on a color coded xylophone, I'll bet the orchestra went home afterward and took a boiling shower to remove the plastic residue coming from the nylon pick scraping nylon strings , respect to yngwie , it's not easy to masturbate in public without high watt appliances
i don't think the problem is his guitar or the pick. i think he's picking too hard. i have the same problem when i play on a steel string acoustic. in fact a lot of guys who start on electric guitars and play with picks have the same issue. if he just softened his attack it would sound worlds better.
@zdkezios the problem isn't that he is picking too hard, its the fact that he is picking at all. If you play with a pick on a nylon string guitar you'll get that weird sound that he is getting. If he had played with his nails (with the proper technique of course) it would produce a lot better tone... although that guitar doesn't look like it would produce very good tone at all anyway, at least it looks cool.
@cieplakupka Thats interesting... because there are three things about that guitar that I can tell kill the sound just by looking at it
1. the cutout, think of the body as an amp. the bigger it is, the louder it is. cutouts on acoustics may make it easier to play and in this circumstance it is acceptable because Malmsteen loves to play those high notes, but they still kill sound production.
2. the curved back, for the same reason as the cutout
3. the sound hole idonthaveenough room to explain :(
@NeufilmsInc You get that when you use a pick on nylon strings, but yeah, this sounds like it's a little bit more than just the pick... Is he using a special technique?
@MrBroodjewarmvlees I'm reasonably sure it's a culmination of four factors 1) The Ovation Celebrity model guitar 2) The nylon strings (of course) 3) the pick (any classically trained guitarist would kill him for that one lol) and 4) the way he attacks the strings (he does this on the electric too, It's why his songs have soooo much awesome crunch, but when he does it on the nylon, it makes a pop instead of a crunch). Some peoploe think it;s a mistake, but it isn't, and I happen to love it!
@commetsmasher Nah. That's an Ovation Adamas - it has a composite top and they normally sound great. The cutaway has nothing to do with anything, the curved back is great, and the sound holes are where they do the most good. The guitar is just dandy - The problem is you have a rocker with one type of pick attack - "shred" Insensitive and unmusical. His attempts at pseudo-classical playing are frankly - a joke.
@zdkezios i don't think the problem is his guitar or the pick. i think he's picking too hard. i have the same problem when i play on a steel string acoustic. in fact a lot of guys who start on electric guitars and play with picks have the same issue. if he just softened his attack it would sound worlds better.
@zdkezios I think the fact that he plays on a nylon string is the problem, it really isn't made for a pick. I play classical guitar, and sometimes for fun i'll play stuff on it with a pick, and it takes a lot of effort to get a good tone out of it sometimes, and having a pickup would make the problem 10x worse.
@zdkezios thats partly true but he also uses a boss cs2-compressor when ever he plays his nylon string guitars. That is why the guitar seems compressed and sounds "poppy" so to speak.
@zdkezios I agree, he don´t control the strengh of his picking. Spanish guitars are more for play directly with the fingers. I do not advise the pick.
@YukiAirGuitar to play with fingers, or better with nails, is a totally different tecnique, used for classical, jazz and flamenco music, designed with the name of "classical guitar" . Malmsteen, like all the others rock and blues guitarists, play using the pick. This tecnique is called "rock guitar" or better "modern guitar".
Terrible tone, he could've used a nice classical guitar, but instead he went with an easier to play, and much much worst and dead sounding nylon electric.
if he plays recuerdos de la alhambra (no pick and 2nd guitarist, yngwie), then all the naysayers and dissers will definitely shut up...if he can, really
@s2p3r that's not fair, that is a classical piece most non-classical musicians haven't even heard of. Yngwie is inspired by the classics ,but has never called himself a classical guitarist; most of the mucis he loves is in fact violin, cello (which he can play) and piano/organ/harpsichord music. Guitar, not so much.
this sounds amazing enough to be on like a video game sound track or movie i can imagine karazan from world of warcraft to this song mainly from the harpsichord
The only reason it sounds so "picky" is because of the tone it's set to. It has to match with the rest of the orchestra or else it's just a guy doing a rock solo with a random back track.
It may be the tone that plays a small role too, but the main reason it sounds so "picky" is beacuse of the compressor Yngwie uses now when playing gutstring guitar. Just compare the rendering of the first two albums gutsrings passages, and those who came after, it is really ovious. I really like Malmsteen a lot, but i never understood why he uses compression with classical guitar, when the dynamic of accoustics guitars are indeed the beauty of it ?
@effyochicken Actually, it's sounds 'picky' because Yngwie is palm muting the strings and picking close to the bridge which gives you a brighter tone (it's also easier to execute fast runs more cleanly if you somewhat mute the strings). Got little to nothing to do with the tone setting itself.
@apippo740 Si tratta di un DVD uscito in Giappone chiamato Concerto Suite for EletricGuitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor LIVE with the new Japan Philharmonic.Ciao.
problem is that hes playing too close to the Piezo mic, trebles and mids are too high. Makes the pick more noticeable. Plus Ovations suck! Doesn't do him any justice. He's Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
@YukiAirGuitar that would be really interesting to hear if he played this with his fingers, but i like it with the pick too. i think it makes the guitar sound sort of like a classical harpsichord.
@YukiAirGuitar it's a celebrity ovation, not a true classical guitar. It's meant more for what he is doing, fast runs and picks sorry that's just the way this seemingly classical guitar works, if you look at them their fretboard is pretty much the same width as an electric. Why he didn't pick a true classical guitar instead is beyond me :/
@YukiAirGuitar It's not pick noise exactly, it's more that he runs through a compressor which heightens certain noises, even finger pickers make noise but Yngwie's compression is a bit heavy.
@YukiAirGuitar A big part of what hes doing will result in that "pick noise". No one can play the guitar aswell as Malmsteen, what he's playing here on a nylon string accoustic, almost no other guitarist in the world could play on an electric! So , enjoy the sound of a pick hitting nylon strings at a rate they dont normally get hit! This guy is the best, enjoy the new experience of realising that ;)
@TheGusto69 "No one can play the guitar aswell as Malmsteen"
Oooookay, who are you to say he's better than JP or Steve Howe? I thought the whole "my daddy's the best in the world" thing is old, even to youtube trolls' standards. I'd recommend that you watch some videos of Paco de Lucia, he's been hitting nylon strings at ridiculous speeds long before Yngwei was even born.
@TheGusto69 Oh, and did anyone mention that his COMPRESSOR EXAGGERATES THE PICKING NOISE? You get that noise (very slightly, really have to play fast and pay real close attention) even when you pluck fast with fingers.
Malmsteen ist technically one of the best no doubt but if it comes to improvising or to write something interesting in your own he just sucks.

on nylon guitars.. its wether you strum, play arpeggios or do it like he does.. theres no way out :) and to leave the sound to the orchestra too no?

@commetsmasher Nah. That's an Ovation Adamas - it has a composite top and they normally sound great. The cutaway has nothing to do with anything, the curved back is great, and the sound holes are where they do the most good. The guitar is just dandy - The problem is you have a rocker with one type of pick attack - "shred" Insensitive and unmusical. His attempts at pseudo-classical playing are frankly - a joke.

@zdkezios i don't think the problem is his guitar or the pick. i think he's picking too hard. i have the same problem when i play on a steel string acoustic. in fact a lot of guys who start on electric guitars and play with picks have the same issue. if he just softened his attack it would sound worlds better.

there's no problem here. its supposed to sound like that. he palm muting every single note... it sounds awesome with a bit of twang to it

@zdkezios I think the fact that he plays on a nylon string is the problem, it really isn't made for a pick. I play classical guitar, and sometimes for fun i'll play stuff on it with a pick, and it takes a lot of effort to get a good tone out of it sometimes, and having a pickup would make the problem 10x worse.

I don´t like the sound of a Ovation-plastic-guitar at all.

@zdkezios thats partly true but he also uses a boss cs2-compressor when ever he plays his nylon string guitars. That is why the guitar seems compressed and sounds "poppy" so to speak.

@zdkezios I agree, he don´t control the strengh of his picking. Spanish guitars are more for play directly with the fingers. I do not advise the pick.

TheKobybryant24 1 year ago
@YukiAirGuitar to play with fingers, or better with nails, is a totally different tecnique, used for classical, jazz and flamenco music, designed with the name of "classical guitar" . Malmsteen, like all the others rock and blues guitarists, play using the pick. This tecnique is called "rock guitar" or better "modern guitar".

Terrible tone, he could've used a nice classical guitar, but instead he went with an easier to play, and much much worst and dead sounding nylon electric.

s2p3r 1 year ago
@s2p3r that's not fair, that is a classical piece most non-classical musicians haven't even heard of. Yngwie is inspired by the classics ,but has never called himself a classical guitarist; most of the mucis he loves is in fact violin, cello (which he can play) and piano/organ/harpsichord music. Guitar, not so much.

The only reason it sounds so "picky" is because of the tone it's set to. It has to match with the rest of the orchestra or else it's just a guy doing a rock solo with a random back track.
effyochicken 1 year ago
@effyochicken
It may be the tone that plays a small role too, but the main reason it sounds so "picky" is beacuse of the compressor Yngwie uses now when playing gutstring guitar. Just compare the rendering of the first two albums gutsrings passages, and those who came after, it is really ovious. I really like Malmsteen a lot, but i never understood why he uses compression with classical guitar, when the dynamic of accoustics guitars are indeed the beauty of it ?

@genolafrite hes probably a really light picker
JACKSONGUITARDUDE 1 year ago
@effyochicken Actually, it's sounds 'picky' because Yngwie is palm muting the strings and picking close to the bridge which gives you a brighter tone (it's also easier to execute fast runs more cleanly if you somewhat mute the strings). Got little to nothing to do with the tone setting itself.

Yah, or if he cant do that he should play it on electric, but try to make the tone match an acoustic.

problem is that hes playing too close to the Piezo mic, trebles and mids are too high. Makes the pick more noticeable. Plus Ovations suck! Doesn't do him any justice. He's Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

@YukiAirGuitar that would be really interesting to hear if he played this with his fingers, but i like it with the pick too. i think it makes the guitar sound sort of like a classical harpsichord.

@YukiAirGuitar it's a celebrity ovation, not a true classical guitar. It's meant more for what he is doing, fast runs and picks sorry that's just the way this seemingly classical guitar works, if you look at them their fretboard is pretty much the same width as an electric. Why he didn't pick a true classical guitar instead is beyond me :/
Zaspor 1 year ago
@YukiAirGuitar It's not pick noise exactly, it's more that he runs through a compressor which heightens certain noises, even finger pickers make noise but Yngwie's compression is a bit heavy.

@YukiAirGuitar A big part of what hes doing will result in that "pick noise". No one can play the guitar aswell as Malmsteen, what he's playing here on a nylon string accoustic, almost no other guitarist in the world could play on an electric! So , enjoy the sound of a pick hitting nylon strings at a rate they dont normally get hit! This guy is the best, enjoy the new experience of realising that ;)

@TheGusto69 "No one can play the guitar aswell as Malmsteen"
Oooookay, who are you to say he's better than JP or Steve Howe? I thought the whole "my daddy's the best in the world" thing is old, even to youtube trolls' standards. I'd recommend that you watch some videos of Paco de Lucia, he's been hitting nylon strings at ridiculous speeds long before Yngwei was even born.
andychoi1020 1 year ago 2
@TheGusto69 Oh, and did anyone mention that his COMPRESSOR EXAGGERATES THE PICKING NOISE? You get that noise (very slightly, really have to play fast and pay real close attention) even when you pluck fast with fingers.
