@Chromatype It's Ritchie Blackmore to whom Yngwie owes all. Same scales, same frilly shirt and jewelry. He even nabbed RBs singer from Rainbow, Joe Lynn Turner for one album, Odyssey.
This man right here was/is John Petrucci's biggest influence. Liquid Tension Experiment was going to cover this song, but it didn't happen as far as I know.
The guy to whom all the '80s shredders owe a debt of gratitude (along with Ulrich Roth, Michael Shenker and Frank Marino, of course). Al is THE MAN!!!
What really impresses me is the year this composition was made, certainly impressive¡

who thinks Yngwie heard Al somewhere as a kid and got the idea to run with the fast harmonic minor scales?

@freemetalguitar Sure. Find me any Blackmore tune that remotely resembles "Far Beyond the Sun" or "Black Star", and get back to me.
