Ive been practicing his techniques and Ive learned also Rising force solo.. I dont know but anyone who learns his style his techniques loses nothing, and I feel soo good when I play them!!
I'd kill for that guitar... Hundreds of super strat models but for some reason no one makes 24 fret strats in classic shape, pickguard, 3 single coils, non locking trem etc.
@PayTeamNmE I don't know why he does this because in his younger days he did play slower. Do you think he's going senile and doesn't realise he's meant to be helping people? Maybe he's protective of his knowledge? Maybe he's just a wanker?
yngwie teaches loosely, he wants musicians to come to their own conclusions on what he does. I don't think he wants musicians to be a mirrored imitation of him or his playing, its hidden genius in my opinion and that is how he learned too I bet. technique and a free thinking method of learning so all possibilities are on the table. and the fat jokes, just wait til you younger jerkoffs are in your 40's and you start having thyroid or health issues, lets see how fat you guys get!! ..
this guy will always stay the on the Top of the list....no matter whoever comes after him......few ppl still don't realize how much hard work he has done to be able to play like this....Yngwie...u r the best \m/
@dvpkid He used to smoke at the time, has since quit. I on the other hand, put a fake cig there on my own guitar, simply cause it looks cool. I don't smoke at all. :)
@devtrev Ironically and no doubt much to your disgust, my English is frequently beautiful. Though when you've just crawled out of bed and sat down with a cup of hot coffee to check your emails... it's just a little bit more difficult than normal to be as grammatically immaculate as you'd like. I figured you'd get the point, my mistake was not recognising sooner, what a complete idiot you in fact are. Better luck in future there champ, maybe one day we can all be as "special" as you.
@devtrev With guys like you, it's no wonder YouTube videos frequently have their comments sections turn into a playground for obnoxious little arseholes with nothing better to do than talk shit about someone who's more successful than they are.
@DannyBoy777 Interesting logic. So, you are not allowed to have an opinion on an artist if said artist is more successful than you are? Doesn't seem fair. Besides, anyone who releases something to the general public is fair game. I've shelled out my own money so I have the right to say whatever i want. Somehow, I think Yngwie with his big ego (and bigger waistline) can take it.
@devtrev Fair enough. Original point stands though, I wanted (at the time of posting) at least one Yngwie video on YouTube where it could be free of people talking shit. Since every single Yngwie video always goes the same way in the comments section. People come in slagging him off (sometimes for justifiable reasons) and then others come to the rescue. It gets utterly monotonous. And frankly I am bored to death of it. Positivity is surely the way forward.
@devtrev Do you, douchebag, realise that everyone one of the Yngwie hating comments is getting removed from this video without question or pause ?. Like I've said before, most Yngwie fans know his faults and flaws, but there are a huge number of his videos on YouTube that you can go slag him off in, this one is free of that bilge. So take your comment, shine it up real nice, turn that sucker sideways and shove it straight up your candy ass.
FUCK IM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING YNGWIE DOSENT HAVE A SOUL BECAUSE HE PLAYS LIKE THUNDER!!!!!! ITS JUST ASSWHOLES WHO PLAY CLASSIC TYPICAL PENATONIC SHIT ARE USED TO BEING SLOW
One of my all time favorites. I had the privilege of seeing front row center stage in 88. Man time flies. Did I just date myself. At any rate. It was one of my all time great musical memories.
The good thing--no, the GREAT thing about Yngwie--is that he is willing to give lessons and showing anyone who wants to learn his techniques. Unlike a lot of other players who play with their backs to the audience, and worry someone may steal their chops. Look at Yngwie's lessons. It's all there in black and white. Anyone with a solid foundation can learn something from him. If you can't follow, you only have yourself to blame.
The "soul", as you so eloquently put it, is in the countless thousands of hours he has put toward furthering the indescribably intimate relationship he has with the guitar. She is a jealous mistress, who reveals her deepest secrets only to those who persist in their romance with her. Can you not see his face? He is in ecstasy. There's the "feel". There's the "soul". After over 25 years, those of us who understand still find ourselves defending him to the hearing impaired.
I'd kill to have this guy's tech abilitiy! but i've got to say when your playing that fast as impressive as it is...its hard to think stylisticly...wheres the soul? somtimes less is more! maybe i just say that cause i cant shred like yngwie! lol rock on man your one bad mutha
@muzikphreak420 I always find it odd how people can only associate "soul" with "playing slowly". I can't really understand it at all. Soul, passion, fire... can all be embodied in someone who plays 1 note per second or 20.
@muzikphreak420 no dude, you are exactly right. after a while this guy has to be totally bored with his abilities. And it loses some of it's soul in the process. I enjoy hearing the guy play but after 2 hours of this stuff I think I'd feel like taking a nap. I think EVH got so sick of playing eruption every concert it became a job at that point. And then it's like people don't see the real you, they just see your lightning fingers. You become like the dancing chicken in the George Strait movie
@muzikphreak420 May I also add that, once you've practiced scales and arpeggios so much, it's actually pretty easy to shred, it almost becomes mindless, so it is easy to think "stylistically" when playing.
@NagualElias sometimes he does, i agree, that was in his first few albums. now it's all the same repetitive sweeps and runs and arpeggios. just my humble opinion, i do think he's a virtuoso anyways. ;))
@kabirnagranee i can't understand you or all the others who say the same with you. what do you want to play? these are his trademark. we hear him because he is the best in that stuff. vai has his own style. satch has his own style and so on. i don't want yngwie to experiment in something different. ok i prefer his first albums. but every artist writes his best songs at the beginning and the he writes only for his fans
I used to have a friend who could play all his stuff flawlessly. The key to reaching his speed and precision is to hardly move the pick, just enough to clear the string, nothing more. Yng. has a great ability to play fast and yet bang out nice blues style stuff, which he explained comes from his Hendrix admiration.
yngwie is one of the truly great inspiring players, but he is kinda too self absorbed to teach anything to anyone, I dont really mean EGO I mean he just kinda forgets to actually show what hes playing and wanders around enjoying himself,masturbation in B flat minor,its just fun to shred
Malmsteen is well-known of shredding, but people often forget that some of his slower tunes, such as Brothers, are just amazing. Yngwie can create amazing melodies and all the bends and vibrato - just immaculate.
dude all i know is i've been listening to this guy since 89. He might not be the best, but he's by far, and still, my very favorite. I just think he's such a treasure.
Come on, his at middle age... you can't call "old" a guy with 46y.. look at Satch, he has more than 50y and is still kickin' ass. I don't know what's the problem with Yngwie, it may be the tendinitis, the alcohol, drugs, anything but his age. He's still young and has a lot of music to make.. sadly, no like in the past.
He knows how to make a guitar cry and scream... but rarely you'll see him play as clearly as that nowadays.. and I hate that, because I really like this guy's playing..
i've seen him live.he is very good at what he does. i really enjoy his acoustic stuff though. me nd my dad always said he should do an ALL acoustic album.he never will though cuz he loves electric too much.but i still think he's the fastest player i the world right now AND I LOVE IT!!!!!
He did an all acoustic album. It's called ANGELS OF LOVE and was released recently. There is electric guitar on there but only to fill in some space, it's effectively all acoustic guitars.
all other shredders are afraid you can see it on their faces and their hand movements.. i know they thinking..hope it don´t sound like malmsteen and shit shit..stop with the copy..damn! i cant!..like Joe stump really thinks he is something fucking fagget tries to copy GOD lame bastard..play your own shit!
Men thats so true i mean i love yngwie and ofcourse its difficult not to play some yngwie licks but I would never imitate someone thats just stupid. And i hate those motherfuckers who says yngwie became sloppy etc , infact yngwie only gets better !!! And a lot of those chinese or japanese shredders are also yngwie imitators !! But its always frustrated to see there are so many yngwie haters. Without yngwie the whole metalscene would be totally different nowadays.
I somewhat agree, but then again, why wouldn't you imitate Yngwie? He's really cool, and great player! I have an yngwie vid too, and I am not ashamed of attempting!
4:09 Some nce Hendrix esque effects. Right on. Strange seing Yngwie playing on resewood, I almost didnt recognize him, 24 brutal frets, so much potential.
Thanks for posting 7:09 counterpoint part actually lifted me out of my chair
Yngwie owns over 200 vintage strats. The 24 fret is one of them. Guess he figured he'd take it around the block for the demo. You can see that he has to really dig for the left hand vibrato without the scallops here and there. Still excellent technique.
@Riyanda1234 Notice the " " surrounding the word lesson ?... what do you think I put them there for ?.

He knows how to make a guitar cry and scream... but rarely you'll see him play as clearly as that nowadays.. and I hate that, because I really like this guy's playing..
caiodorn 2 years ago 6
Cause he's old man.
His bones are aching, and he recovered from Tendonitis which probably fucked him up a little too.
As sad as it sounds, you're never going to here any of the 80s/70s shred guys play like they did in the 80s and 90s.

i've seen him live.he is very good at what he does. i really enjoy his acoustic stuff though. me nd my dad always said he should do an ALL acoustic album.he never will though cuz he loves electric too much.but i still think he's the fastest player i the world right now AND I LOVE IT!!!!!

He did an all acoustic album. It's called ANGELS OF LOVE and was released recently. There is electric guitar on there but only to fill in some space, it's effectively all acoustic guitars.

Men thats so true i mean i love yngwie and ofcourse its difficult not to play some yngwie licks but I would never imitate someone thats just stupid. And i hate those motherfuckers who says yngwie became sloppy etc , infact yngwie only gets better !!! And a lot of those chinese or japanese shredders are also yngwie imitators !! But its always frustrated to see there are so many yngwie haters. Without yngwie the whole metalscene would be totally different nowadays.

I somewhat agree, but then again, why wouldn't you imitate Yngwie? He's really cool, and great player! I have an yngwie vid too, and I am not ashamed of attempting!

scalloped or not,his vibrato it's simply awesome..
Freddie88 2 years ago 4
Yngwie owns over 200 vintage strats. The 24 fret is one of them. Guess he figured he'd take it around the block for the demo. You can see that he has to really dig for the left hand vibrato without the scallops here and there. Still excellent technique.
