I'm trying to learn how to shift effectively. There's a HUGE amount of range you can get by shifting, which is great for impressive arpeggios - there's only so much you can do on the same position in the neck. It's a little difficult though, since learning to do something new makes me feel like a total newbie. >.>
ajajaja.. que loco... cuanto mas se de teoria y escalas, practica y tecnica me doy cuenta que en realidad sabe mucho el gordo.. solo que le encanta sonar asi.
@jarabidir es cierto muchos dicen que es sucio para tocar, pero la verdad es q asi le gusta sonar, bien al natural, bien fuerte, a lo gordo en fin, jaja.
bibigigigididkitigi...usually i do it...gikibitibiiiitkikipigi...if that's to difficult you can try...gigibitilipigitiki...or...litjikiiiibigigigbititikibikik, Wow!! This lesson was really helpful! ;) Great guitar playing though. :)
@ShredableGuitar If you look close sometimes he seems to be picking with the little finger as well as the pick with/in the same hand ie his right hand, almost like he is using 2 picks
don't really get how people say this guy is overrated. Quite simply he has a different insight that most players and developed his own style of playing. He inspires many guitarists. sure sometimes it can get a bit much after a while but he is the best at what he does.
Those who have any negative comments for YNGWIE are either to Lazy to pick their instruments and Practice to perform like him or lack Creativity....
think 10 times before you post any comment for a guitarist who is an inspiration for thousands of guitarists for that matter Musicians out there...!!!
All (ok, mostly) guitarists go through the period of playing, all of they in the beginning want to play as speedy as possible..and when they realize some things, when they "grow up", continue to play, but slower..blues,.... Yngwie was older.. but still playing 300 per hour...hm....(◑‿◐)
.........that's pure jealousy speaking....no matter who or how old a guitarist is, there is not a one who wouldn't kill to be able to play like Yngwie. It is the ultimate achievement, this is guitar playing at the highest level, with impeccable technique. It's not a phase, and has nothing to do with growing up, everybody who says Yngwie is one dimensional is just jealous that they can't do it.

My friend...I don t want to play like him,.. first... because I can t play like him, and second because I do not like this way of playing...I respect him, he is a guitarist who developed his style, and develop your own style is the culmination of of guitar playing, I did not say that I like or not like in the commentary below, I'm just saying the conclusion (◑‿◐)
@blacksabbathish no man, i'd kill to be able to do a bend and give chills to everybody like slash, or write some of te most kickass riffs in history like jimmy page. but i wouldn't kill to be able to go up and down a scale lightning fast.
@mkwlord Well, the really, really difficult thing is to play lightning fast. Very, very few can do it. Also, a guitarist like Yngwie Malmsteen (who is the epitome of guitar-perfection) can of course play slow. Slash on the other hand does not even come close to the speed of Yngwie; Slash simply doesn´t have that capability. And don´t get me wrong here; I adore Slash and he is one of my favourites and Guns N´ Roses are my favourite band! Plus that Slash has written some of the greates riffs ever!
I gotta say, the guy is very giving og himself. He's been painted as an Egomaiac, but not so. Watch any Youtube video & he's either in concert, giving a lesson or giving homage to Marshall, Fender or Mozart. Say any Jealous words...but that's the FACTS my friend. Guitar player & admier for 25+years. Kiss my a**!
i saw Kirk Hammett shout at Lars once during a jam "Hey slow down I'm not Yngwie!!" I laughed so hard at that.. Kirk is awesome, and so is Yngwie. Now please don't waste time here trashing Kirk, or comparing the two
the biggest secret, is to practice with so little tension, that you don't even fret the notes (unless its really low action and detuned with light gauge, but most people are medium action and in E standard, because they're all sheople guitar idiots). And restrict yourself from going faster unless your tension does not increase. Tension =/= speed, its twitch muscles and muscle memory, not strength or tension. use shortest movements, no tension, if your fingers come up high, too much tension.
@fenderwangcaster Hey you know i was searching for someone else who had the same thoughts as me and what you've said here is so right almost all guitarist do have a really low action.I have a doubt though if your strings are really low do you have to adjust the truss rod to avoid string buzz?
@ishani859 it depends on string tension. If they're light gauge strings and/or tuned to a lower standard tuning, then expect buzzing. A little buzzing is good though, it makes the guitar sound more full, bright, and punchy and cool without having to slap it hard. Mine is really low, tuned 1.5 steps down, and it just has that acoustic guitar sounding buzz, like when you hear people like steve vai, tommy emmanuel, or peppino d'agostino play. Play lightly and buzzing won't be so severe.
@TheRealSonicYouth well i dont think he is overrated , he is a legend , and thanks to him many guitar players are inspired , if u think about yngwie malmsteen in album and band terms then u dont understand what yngwie really is all about. even if you dont like yngwie style you still ow him respect , i think michael angelo is overrated but doesnt mean i dont respect the guy for the awesome stuff he is doin while playin his guitar , but anyway i can feel ya , you tried yngwie n failed , its ok
I think Swissgar from Metalocalypse was modled after Yngwie. He says.....sweeps...sweeps...sweeps......ok, youre on top of the mountain! And remembers, yous only cheats yourselfs when you use "crappy" guitars playings! LOL! Just check out "Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle" Lesson here on YouTube. It's hilarious!
This makes me want to have a big bonfire with all of my guitars and roast marshmellows ! Everyone's invited ! He makes it looks so easy, but its 100 times more difficult than it looks- I've been play'n for bout 30 years- I'm NOt Worthy !
Don't get me wrong,I love Yngwie,but this lesson is no good haha what's up with the alternate picking thing??I recommend everybody to go watch Paul Gilbert or John Petrucci Lessons.You will learn more there :P.
I don't see why everyone isn't considering this as a guitar lesson... To be quite honest, Yngwie has better things to do than to make guitar lesson videos aimed at an audience who has just started to play guitar.. This video is aimed at guitarists who know their music theory, who know how to play guitar, and just want to improve their skills and riff solos and what not.. He's not here to tell you what your fingering should be and what notes to play.. It's just a general idea on what he does...
@d3strukter Exactly right.He just gives the big picture of what he does.He isnt a teacher and he definately doesnt want to be.Anyone who has played at least a bit he would know that he is heavy in sequencing scales and instead of wanting tabs for everything they could just take their favorite scales and sequence them to death.But nowadays they need tabs even for nursery rhymes.But nowadays we are filled with instant gratification noobs.They wanna learn something yesterday...and without practice.
@d3strukter perfect definition. if someone is watching this video and needs to watch it very slowly to get what he is playing shouldnt even be watching this as a lesson.
@d3strukter Agreed. This is a guitar lesson, you just have to know what the fuck he's talking about... Which, to be honest, isn't that difficult. Frankly, every musician should learn theory, regardless of whether or not they want to play professionally or just for fun. Theory is the building blocks of music. If you know your theory, learning to play is so much easier, because you know WHAT your playing.
Personally, I love playing around with Phrygian modes. Fun little mode with a cool tonality.
1:20 :"This guitar player playin this..and and I wanted to listen to him and they they uh..way of doing that and on that goes..and I wanted to challenge myself..."
Dear Mr. Malmsteen. I dont give a shit what you wanted. You call this a lesson. Where is it?!
Thank you for your wisdom and teaching Zen Master.
One thing he said about the picking thing is VERY useful, "do whatever it takes", so it may not be strict alternating, it might be some economy picking too, then change to sweeping, and back n forth....but it's becomes a FEEL thing. There's nothing wrong in that.
@666ThrashManiac He's done things like make a video where he says, "If you do want to play along, this is the tuning. I've tuned it to E Flat." Then he plucks a string and looks at the camera, and says with his face, "Suck it, bitch!"
@Spjungen no thats classical music and some jazz. rock (and blues) are about putting human emotion into music, not about making it sound like bach got his hands on a guitar.
@Spjungen many great guitarists can play extremely fast and dont because they see no point in it (clapton, frusciante, edge, gilmour). and obviously composition is important. and how can you put emotion into your playing when you dont have the time to bend a string or hold on to a note because of the ridiculous speed you're playing at? malmsteen is all composition and no feeling or emotion at all. he might as well put the notes into a computer and let them play it...it would sound the same
@YanksFan162 of course it can sound "better" playing slower, like wyldes older stuff or as you mentioned Clapton, Frusciante.... (though frusciante sucks ass) but its all up to taste. This is like a discussion over whether you should play clean or distorted imo. Playing fast at the right place can take a good composition to a whole new level, where as "slow" bends etc. can make a great song out of shred. For the best of both worlds, listen to Paul Gilbert. No one fucks with him <3
@DarkFottloch i can't understand how you can utter wylde's name in the same vain as clapton or frusciante (who is one of the most influential and important guitaists of the last 20 years).just as you said, fast playing can make a good composition better. but it also sucks all human emotion out of it i guess it is a matter of taste-i prefer music that conveys emotion and feeling, whether fast OR slow. however, "shredding"and most fast playing is just an ego trip to show off, no passion needed.
@YanksFan162 Yeh but it depends on the focus of the song. Some songs are very emotion-based while others (or other parts of the same songs for that matter), are more focused on composition. When it's about composition, which it clearly is most of the time with Ygwie (which I appreciate because nowadays pretty much all music is in fact about emotion and all that crap) that's what you have to look for.
Also maybe the technical parts are his way of expression...you can't assume there's no emotion.
Fast, slow, whatever? Yeah right! Has anybody ever seen him play slow?

He's not here to tell you what your fingering should be and what notes to play.. It's just a general idea on what he does...

@d3strukter Ahaha well said. So true though :)
lucas59695 6 months ago
@d3strukter Exactly right.He just gives the big picture of what he does.He isnt a teacher and he definately doesnt want to be.Anyone who has played at least a bit he would know that he is heavy in sequencing scales and instead of wanting tabs for everything they could just take their favorite scales and sequence them to death.But nowadays they need tabs even for nursery rhymes.But nowadays we are filled with instant gratification noobs.They wanna learn something yesterday...and without practice.

@d3strukter perfect definition. if someone is watching this video and needs to watch it very slowly to get what he is playing shouldnt even be watching this as a lesson.

@d3strukter Agreed. This is a guitar lesson, you just have to know what the fuck he's talking about... Which, to be honest, isn't that difficult. Frankly, every musician should learn theory, regardless of whether or not they want to play professionally or just for fun. Theory is the building blocks of music. If you know your theory, learning to play is so much easier, because you know WHAT your playing.
Personally, I love playing around with Phrygian modes. Fun little mode with a cool tonality.

His picking hand barely moves. Perfecting your technique seems essential. Time to get to work.

One thing he said about the picking thing is VERY useful, "do whatever it takes", so it may not be strict alternating, it might be some economy picking too, then change to sweeping, and back n forth....but it's becomes a FEEL thing. There's nothing wrong in that.

There's no G in an E phrygian dominant scale...
liquidman2 8 months ago 2
@liquidman2 Yeah. Its a G#. In minor phrygian dominant i think it turns into A because of the sharp 3rd.. OR hes is playing a flat 3rd

@666ThrashManiac He's done things like make a video where he says, "If you do want to play along, this is the tuning. I've tuned it to E Flat." Then he plucks a string and looks at the camera, and says with his face, "Suck it, bitch!"

GUITAR IS NOT ABOUT PLAYING FAST
YanksFan162 8 months ago
@YanksFan162 It's about that and composition, which Yngwie has. ^^
Spjungen 8 months ago
@Spjungen no thats classical music and some jazz. rock (and blues) are about putting human emotion into music, not about making it sound like bach got his hands on a guitar.
YanksFan162 8 months ago
@YanksFan162 No...composition is anytime you actually write a piece >>
Which Yngwie has done...he just happens to also be able to play fast.
Plus who says emotion and playing fast are mutually exclusive?
Spjungen 8 months ago
@Spjungen many great guitarists can play extremely fast and dont because they see no point in it (clapton, frusciante, edge, gilmour). and obviously composition is important. and how can you put emotion into your playing when you dont have the time to bend a string or hold on to a note because of the ridiculous speed you're playing at? malmsteen is all composition and no feeling or emotion at all. he might as well put the notes into a computer and let them play it...it would sound the same
YanksFan162 8 months ago
@YanksFan162 of course it can sound "better" playing slower, like wyldes older stuff or as you mentioned Clapton, Frusciante.... (though frusciante sucks ass) but its all up to taste. This is like a discussion over whether you should play clean or distorted imo. Playing fast at the right place can take a good composition to a whole new level, where as "slow" bends etc. can make a great song out of shred. For the best of both worlds, listen to Paul Gilbert. No one fucks with him <3
DarkFottloch 8 months ago
@DarkFottloch i can't understand how you can utter wylde's name in the same vain as clapton or frusciante (who is one of the most influential and important guitaists of the last 20 years).just as you said, fast playing can make a good composition better. but it also sucks all human emotion out of it i guess it is a matter of taste-i prefer music that conveys emotion and feeling, whether fast OR slow. however, "shredding"and most fast playing is just an ego trip to show off, no passion needed.
YanksFan162 8 months ago 2
@YanksFan162 Yeh but it depends on the focus of the song. Some songs are very emotion-based while others (or other parts of the same songs for that matter), are more focused on composition. When it's about composition, which it clearly is most of the time with Ygwie (which I appreciate because nowadays pretty much all music is in fact about emotion and all that crap) that's what you have to look for.
Also maybe the technical parts are his way of expression...you can't assume there's no emotion.
