  • a minor my ass :P

  • Technically, it makes more sense to call it Ab minor because he is tuning his guitar FLAT and when you see Ab on paper it makes more sense because you think of the fact that it would not normally be A but it's tuned a half step down. It wasn't originally G minor but tuned a half step up. Just something for the sake of convenience.

  • He shows us his secrets!

  • quit complaining about it being not slow... if you're a musician at all you should be able to figure that out....

  • lol that is well slow stop being pussies and practise more

  • wow, great lesson

  • here it is slow? no it's not...

  • sound like a pacman's having a sex

  • @iamcoolerthancharlie there ya go! :D

  • I dont see the big deal, this is a EASY arpeggio comparred to other ones! I can play this as fast and ive been playing for only 2 years... you just have to practice alot

  • @iamcoolerthancharlie LOL *It's not a lesson*... ...*He's wasting his time to show you a simple arpeggio*

  • he is a great guitar player and an awful teacher

  • HERE IT IS SLOW

  • what's slow for him, inhuman is for us

  • you should be able to find the notes on the guitar by just hearing this demonstration. if you cant then you shouldnt be playing guitar

  • Yes it´s very fast, but his technique it´s really bad...

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    mother fucker

  • Hello I'm Yngwie Malmsteen and I'm gonna show you hoy I play five strings apreggio

  • This guy is a beast, that's for sure. But, I don't why, I'm way more impressed by guitar players nailing some jazz/rockabilly solos such as Brian Setzer, Chris Cheney etc..., than guitar players like Ingwie.

  • HE DOESN'T HAVE A MID SETTING , THATS WHY HIS MUSIC ONLY GOES FAST AND BEGINNER SLOW... jk

  • Comment removed

  • I played the lick, usd theory and my ear to crack it.. And he says "Am" But he did it in Ab. .. malmsteenFail? Ah, who cares. Hes a beast.

  • @TheBeatlesCom that's because his guitar is tuned to Eb so when he plays the open A string or the (12th fret on the A string) it is Ab

  • @iamcoolerthancharlie Its one of the easiest arpeggios ever made. lol

  • fat ass

  • i love it when someone tries to make a joke about this, then someone who just learned sweeping today is like "ITS A SIMPLE SWEEP, OMG YOU MUST BE RETARDED IF YOU CANT SEE THAT, ITS A SIMPLE BLUES SWEEP, EVERYONE LOOK AT ME CORRECT THIS PERSON I FUCKING NEED ATTENTION" then im just sitting here with my glass of bourbon like " -.- chill bro, its the internet" then i go and get pants on

  • its a simple pattern. he uses it in the song blue for example. not too hard if you know what a minor is

  • what's funny is the trendy complaint of everyone that expects him to walk them through with tabs. If you know your music theory you can learn from what him "slow", sure learning the book stuff may not seem fun, but do you think virtuoso asks each other for tabs? I've never seen yngwie say he's better than anyone, seems like some are just jealous. And before you call me a fanboy he's not even my favorite guitarists to listen to lol, but I respect him as any other

  • @coolmega33 the thing is that if you know theory you are not going to see this a video lesson to learn this so simple arpeggio, if this video is aimed to people who know theory is stupid because it teaches something so simple that anyone that knows theory don't need to learn from a video, and if it is aimed to some who doesn't know nothing about theory and have never practiced sweeping it's stupid too because he didn't explain a shit.

  • lol, i was just sweeping as fast as that before i watched this video..... its not that difficult.....................­....

  • THAT was SLOW? definition must have changed. Oh well, arpeggios are fun to listen to anyway

  • idiot

  • How to hell can somebody play shit like that and just say "there you go"

    Its fucking hilarious

  • This guy sucks.

  • yngwie is hilarious his massive ego and combined with his swedish arrogance is just comedy but the guy is still amazingly good.

  • @mojopin70 actually Swedes (and Scandinavians in general) are typically passive and quiet. He came to the States and adopted are sense of being a douche is cool. It is hilarious though.

  • Unfortunatly great great and i repeat great technique, with absolutly no no no and i repat no talent and taste at all lolol.

  • Hi, My name is yingwar malmstein and you can't play this.

  • Anybody can play like him, just practice.

    i saw john petrucci and i asked him how he plays like that ( i was playing in my 1 st year) he told me with a smile. "just practice dude."

    anybody can play at any level, just be determined.

  • haha he might be cocky but he is a killer guitar player and I much rather see that then some artist that sings that auto tune shit and thinks they are a god for it lol also check out my band "Shall Be The Conqueror"

  • best lesson ever lol FAIL.

    

  • He's a shit guitar player, No rhythm, No melody, its nothing but sredding the same arpeggios over and over. What a Hack!

  • he has alot of feeling in his older stuff check it out your opinion will change but i agree no felling in it now but disagree that hes shit hes a neo classical guitar player its a style and hes the best at it.

    @MikeGaiser12345

  • @MikeGaiser12345 no shit.he's one of the best guitarists alive.

  • Comment removed

  • @martyqueen88 He isn't as good as he thinks he is...

  • @MikeGaiser12345 of course he has a huge ego and that's a bad thing..but i think everyone would have a big ego if they would be him..i mean..he wrote Black Star at 17 dude..

  • @MikeGaiser12345 How do you know how good he thinks he is?

  • @StanleyKu his huge ego speaks for itself...

  • @MikeGaiser12345 No it doesn't. You don't know how good he thinks he is.

  • "there you go, its that simple"

  • I think some people forget Yngwie comes from a time and place where he didn't have youtube, internet or even half the resources we have. He pioneered a new style and really took sweep picking up a few notches. He would have worked most of most of what he learned by ear - so I expect he thinks other people should do that, rather than just ask for it slower.

    Just listen to his first album, bare in mind the time of release and his age - he was epic.

  • Suck a bag of dicks yngwie

  • @GoatPepper bag of dicks thats the first time ive heard that hahahahhahaha dude i think yngwie is badass

  • and here it is slow -blagabadajabaga.

  • No A-Minor arpeggio. To him it might be but it's not. It's rather G# Minor. He's a half step tuned down. Thumb this one up if you like because people might not know that.

  • @PowerofJohras the shape is A minor.

  • @sufficientcompany Yes, the shape is. But a shape means nothing. Since he is tuned down a half step, it's no longer A-minor, it's actually G# minor. Just, to notify people out there that they EITHER need to tune down the guitar or play it in G# minor.

  • @PowerofJohras It's technically G# minor, but it's actually "theoretically correct" to refer to everything as though you were in E standard tuning, assuming you aren't using drop D or some other open tuning. It makes communicating exactly what you're playing that much easier.

  • @GodlessShredder Yngwie plays tuned a half step down. Which doesn't make it an A-minor arpeggio anymore. The shape is, but you need to tune your guitar a half step down in order for it to actually become an A-minor positioned arpeggio.

  • there we gooo

  • I can play it slow

    Fast? *kills self*

  • .......Now here it is slow.... same speed almost!

  • thats so easy...not to learn

  • got it just fine there Yngwie... yeah try not to drag it out so much next time... :/

  • What's a difference between fast and slow ??

    hahhahha

  • there u go

  • damn, this video is sooooo funny

  • I still didnt learn it :/ What am i doing wrong?

  • It's amazing what you can learn in 9 seconds...

  • Hes so fluid and clean, most people who try to play his stuff dont even come close to his perfection...

  • A minor triad shape. All strings except the low E........A,C,E (strings 5,4,3) then repeat, A,C,E,A (strings 3,2,1) down then back up in one smooth motion.

  • yeah all you guys who dont get it

    if you dont know what an a minor arpeggio is, you needa go learn some theory before you try playing this

  • @93thrasher this style i mean. you could still shred

    you just wont be able to sound like yngwie

  • Puffy shirt!

  • thank you, now i know... i'm a shit playing guitar :D! xD

  • *and here it is slow. -.-

  • Do you think yngwie fucks his wife the same way he plays the guitar? He´s like:

    Check out this super mega fucking awesome sweeping fuck technique!

    and he fucks his wife at 300 BPM.

  • Here it is slow... Yngwie would melt if he played anything slow, he is able to warp time with his playing.. Bastard.

  • if u are playing with his tuning, it's A , C on the 5th string, E on the 4th, A and G on the 3rd string, skip the B string, then E and A on the 1st (high E string)...I think!

    GO YNGWIE!!

  • all you yngwie fan boys are so funny. haha.

  • Comment removed

  • thats all there is to it!

  • His slow is my fast!

  • slower please

  • I bought Yngwie's instructional video hoping to learn something and all I got was an hour and a half of Yngwie shredding. 

  • @NationalMan and a lot of "Here, try to play this one!" Ya I bought that same DVD :p

  • Wow that has to be easy since Yngwie malmsteen told us! xD

  • lolllll "now slow" (lightning fast playing) - you see ? it's very easy!

  • derek trucks kills yngwie

  • @algrand90 I totally agree

  • hes really fast but his ego is huge.

    but its ok because he is better than us.

  • @SASPython when you can play like that. it dosnt matter how big your ego is. cus you have perfectly good reason to be cocky xD

  • @Thebudgeismetal hahaha true that xD i admit i would probably be slightly cocky with skills like that lol

  • @SASPython its just a sweep. and being such a douche isnt corrected by good guitar playing. how bout all the really nice guitar players who are better than yngwie?

  • @greenbeaner69 it was a joke?

  • Comment removed

  • He used to be like this in the 90s, but I think he has calmed down nowadays

    .

  • ugh you guys are idiots. when a video says "EX-12" that measn theres usually a tab sheet to go along with it. he doesnt need to actually go through it. he just needs to show you how its supposed to sound. plus its a pretty straight forward arpeggio.

  • hes a great player but hes got hes great head stuck up his ass :P

  • rotflmfao plays uber,fast play it bitches

  • wow.. he actually played it slow this time

  • fuckin sick, i love him

  • Here you go?

    HERE I GO?

    Jesus Christ.. Ok..

  • @Megatrane he said THERE YOU GO

  • @narutoguy56 whatever the funny thing is get the joke

  • does he say "A boner" at the begining? ROFL

  • @1DeadSpirit He said "A minor" as in the arpeggio he was about to play.

  • Eh, It's slow enough so you can separate the notes...

  • slow....ahahahah

  • lol at the comments. This, apart from the major one, is by far the easiest shape to play. If you can't follow that at slow speed then forget it. I'll give you a hint. 1st, 3rd, 5th. Repeat in any mode. It really is that easy. If you know your modes, you cannot fail.

  • Malmsteen vocabulary: Slow = the maximum speed any other guitar player can reach, Paul Gilbert and Michael Angelo Batio included.

  • for christ sake yngwie malmsteen isnt a fukin music teacher, and if u really cant figure out how he plays it when he plays it slower dont even bother

  • There you go *shrug* ... LOL

  • Simple minor arpeggio. I figured this sweep out on my own when I was 16.

    It's not hard if you actually try...

  • "jkl;sfda;jklasfdjkl;sfd there you go!" Fucking easy as that, THANKS YNGWIE! :D

  • I don't think I'll be attending this class...

  • "Okay class, repeat after me." *plays inhumanly fast*

  • lolwut

  • You cant see it but when malmsteen played it ''slow'' they actually slowed it down 100x because it was still to fast :D

  • malmsteen=hehe idiots u'd thought i'd show it to u slowly?u will never reach me!! IT CAN BE ONLY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Do you think that is slow??? Fuck you !!!!

  • tabs?

  • what a dick.....lol 

  • MalmSteen: That'll be 25 bucks for the lesson :D

    Student: Wtf?

  • @PrestonBernardGalla lllllllloooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooool* 10000000

  • Comment removed

  • wtf?slow my ass. lol. still great player though.

  • He's not a bad teacher, he's got noob students ^^

  • @RtasVadumeeKostas thank you for the telling the truth = D

  • Slow! ahgahahahahahhaHAHhaHAhah

  • how can such an amazing guitarist b such a hopeless teacher...

  • aaah, worss teacher ever xD :P

  • slow?....pffft...gimme a fucking break...lol

  • superb shredder , worse teacher.

  • Lol by fast and slow he means,"Here it is at my slowest speed.... And now you're fastest speed."

  • he plays this sweep so unnatural and lame......

  • traduccion al español:

    0:00 has esto puto

    0:04 en nivel pollo

    0:09 me la pelas!

  • ...that was slow?

  • @lucas3112 Yep

  • haha here it is slow... there you go!! thanks a lot yngwie

  • but great shredder!! haha

  • worst teacher ever AHAHAH!

  • @RagingForce wat did u fuckin meant ? !!

  • @RagingForce

    roflmao

  • @RagingForce haha. thats exactly what i was thinking when i watched this video lol. he just thinks anyone watching it or that would buy his lessons know just about music as he does

  • @RagingForce lol you're right.."here's slow" XD XD

  • this riff is actually a simple (lol) sweep arpeggio in Ab minor (when played in standard tuning).

    On the A string you have to play Ab (11 fret) and B (14 fret), then Eb on the D string (13 fret), then Ab on the G string (13 fret) then B on the B string (12 fret), then Eb and Ab on the E string (11 and 16 fret) and then go backwards.

    ur welcome...

  • shit!!

    the slow is fast too!

    fucking malmmsteen..

    is 9999999 times better than me

  • 999999999999 times :D

    but anyway..better than me, too

  • If you already know how to sweep, than this is no problem

  • lol , now i'ts going to be slow ,  , but it still fucking fast XD , fucking love malmsteen

  • That was not very slow!

    MWAHAHAH

    Malmsteen rules!

    YEAHH

  • Slow enough to easly hear what's going on.

    IF you can't you 99% sure can't play anything of his stuff anyway.

  • fuxh

  • he can't do it slowly xD

  • HhAgAHgHAhHaHA I laughed so freaking hard when I saw your comment, I thought pretty much the same

  • Listen to his 3 first albums, moron. NOWAYDAYS he is like that, "speed only". But he was a godlike guitarist in the 80s, and NOT only speedwise.

  • he can play blues...search for it and u'll find the video....and u are right that he is a big showoff (he have skills to do that) and his solos are now too predictable. same stuff from rising force to perpetual flame...i have this dvd from which this clip is taken from and its a waste of money as he is too fast all the time

  • Just because he doesn't do what YOU want him to, he sucks? How about "you suck" just for being alive?

  • you are a fucking ideot u know that right? Uhh feeling? Black Star? Icarus Dream Opus 4, basically the whole first album. Pretty much all his melodic shit, the shred stuff isnt supposed to be super emotional its exciting. So basically end convo shut the fuck up, your stupid as hell.

  • @ravenrage07 LOL@Ideot hahaha

  • @ravenrage07

    last time i checked, excitiment was an emotion, so i guess all his stuff is emotional :D

  • @ravenrage07 yeahhh also the songs he played with alcatrazz and far beyond the sun, forever one, miracle of life ! but his finnal album (high impact) is really shit i don't hide !

  • @ravenrage07 dude not offence but if you call someone stupid you might want to spell correctly

  • @ravenrage07 Sir, are you aware that your spelling abilities are a crime against humanity?

  • Apparently you don't listen to any Malmsteen albums

  • then stop watching his videos and go listen something else, i dont understand why people listen things they hate. just to post crap on this videos that the artist wouldnt see. is just stupid if you ask me, but good, every1 has their opinion

    sorry for my english

  • yes it was slow lol...

  • He is my idol!!!

  • its damn FAST Lah knn!

  • yngwie - "see??... is easy!!" ^^

    me - °_°U

  • THAT WASNT SLOW!!!!
