Yngwie Malmsteen - Voodo

[MichaelsPortraits]

I really liked some of Yngwie's early stuff when he first broke on the scene , but it always annoyed me when he accused others of ripping him off when he himself virtually plagarized the entire vocabulary of JS BACH....every single lick.

[tanevee1]

Hienoa...Very Good!

[DancingSpiderman]

The Pirate Shirt makes Yngwie even MORE of a BadAss

[XterTheTexter]

Reminds me of his Echo Etude by a lot

[luciobkn]

this is to be a god

watch?v=kXNqJx9H75s

[674886]

I tried to masturbate to this... i fell asleep however....

[caponi14]

Why do people diss Slash because of this video?

They are 2 completely different guitarist...

[martyn347]

@caponi14 no they aren t, slash could never play like Yngwie, but Yngwie could play all of slash s solos with same feeling or even better.

[caponi14]

@martyn347 That is pretty much the shittiest thing i have heard in a while. Still laughing... Pathetic comment.

[martyn347]

@caponi14 it s true and you know it malmsteen is better, deal with it

[NeoGodHand]

Lmfao. It's fucking hilarious seeing "I bet this guy won't play unplugged" or "fast playing doesn't mean great guitar playing" but they just don't understand that skill is needed to play as fast and as clean as he does. While he cannot teach worth a shit, he certainly knows his stuff. Different modes, scales, arpeggios, picking techniques, etc. Yngwie's a master. Also, he plays with a nylon string guitar every show and has some surprisingly clean playing. Don't make childish, envious assumptions

[Ryboner1]

so erm i didnt need to pay loadsa a money for an ibanez jem thinking i needed one to do that , fuck me im getting me strat back !

[arnarne]

Gosh... I fell asleep watching this!

[chris85mdp]

no me gusta malmsteen y ademas usa mucho reverb y delay no se entiende nada

[PoutinePete]

Fast guitar playing does not always mean your a great guitarist

[vaso442]

@PoutinePete but he is great guitarist , for me eminem and justin bieber are faggots and yngwie is super star

[triggsyshredd]

@PoutinePete Doesn't mean your shit either!! This comment doesn't apply to Yngwie, because he just happens to be a great guitarist..

[StanleyKu]

@PoutinePete Try listening to the notes rather than the speed of them and you will realize what a pointless comment you made.

[seltersss]

@PoutinePete Slow playing doesn't mean you're good either.

[Owminator]

@seltersss

Whether you're fast or slow is not a defining point in how good of a guitar player you are.

[LeoDoorsMusic]

@PoutinePete This guy still kicks ass.

[MrSuzuki001]

@PoutinePete aj glup si ko teca

[rostoccer]

@PoutinePete What's the true sign of a great guitarrist?

[TheGabbia]

@PoutinePete true...but malmsteen also create his music so he is great guitarist and artist.

[StigJensen123]

boring. so what?

[ZackAttackLoVe]

@canihaveaibanez not famous enough if you ask me.. def, the hardest working mother fucker in the buisness lol

[PoutinePete]

I bet you'll never hear him play unplugged.

[blurginouliz]

@PoutinePete i have

[LedZeppelin4ACDC]

look at 0:20 how fast his left hand is like twitching up the neck at lightning speed!! :0

[ozzcar1]

lol.. everyone who's not a guitarist probably doesn't know what a harmonizer pedal is.. making this video 10000000x more impressive

[LunarLionheart]

@ozzcar1

It's a delay not a harmonizer.

[ozzcar1]

@LunarLionheart it is a harmonizer...

[deeperunderground09]

@ozzcar1 He is obviously using a delay, you can hear it well at the beginning of the video

[ozzcar1]

@LunarLionheart Euhm bro.. he uses a harmonizer.

[elcerrito494]

@ozzcar1 In this video he's using a delay. It's fairly obvious...

[deeperunderground09]

@ozzcar1 Harmonizing using a delay is often done in this kind of music: he sets the delay tempo at the same speed of the song so each note covers another one, that souns like an harmonize effect but it actually isn't

[ozzcar1]

@deeperunderground09 thanks haha. watching the video again made me notice this :) thanks for not calling me a dickhead for not noticing.

[psychomaxx]

@ozzcar1 , your probably not a guitarist yourself, its obviously a delay pedal man !

[megajames3000]

HE'S A BIG DOUCHE but this is pretty damn amazing. his shit is so clean. better than the processed lunch meat bull shit we see today

[WolflofmaN]

good... now do that standing up :P

[Berserkedy]

oh look something that sounds like everything else he does

[ShredChannel]

effects?

[Daniel777238]

@ShredChannel Delay pedal

[kett2k8]

that was awesome.. simple as.

[lespaul678]

@ 40 seconds is a TOTAL ripoff of Brian May's solo in the song "Brighton Rock" I have lost all respect for this arrogant, pretentious dick-sore

[vinillagorilzz]

@lespaul678 Lol is all i have to say in your direction.

[StanleyKu]

@lespaul678 He praises Brian May. He's probably playing homage to him....

[SidneyAugustoDaSilva]

"I play as good as him"......and then I woke up!

[avengedsoul6661]

looking at him kinda reminds me of captain jack sparrow

[n00baTr00pa]

Like a god? He makes Zeus shit brix

[SoGladToKnowYou]

gotta hate having top rated comments for all the stupid 4 month late replies you get....

[elieichelberger]

@thatguyyoudontfeel actually I'm a fan and I love Yngwie Malmsteen....

[JCPlayer15]

Nice pirate shirt lol

[NICKHAM16]

How do you play when your hair is on the strings???

[bakhbakho]

@NICKHAM16 its so easy :P

[HuGoDaN100]

thats mostly guitar shredding with echo. meh. still better than Slash though

[mirceaabc]

ua in pizda ma'tii daca te mai iei de Slash iti tai cucu

[Timetravel90]

@mirceaabc i-ai zis-o

[pinduhkaas]

jesus christ, what an echo!

[hackerinchanelby]

slash is the winner 

[xApocalypticpwnyx]

I just jizzed O.o

[kinderleinchen]

best part from 0:30 to 0:36 (:

[beefcake0354]

not that I'm comparing guitarists or anything (cuz I love 'em both), but I really wish to see Yngwie tries some of MAB's songs, and vice versa, just want to know how that would sound like ... must be really interesting :)

[xABOUT500JEWSx]

@flameboi1373 you ever hear of brendon small yeah buddy he does all the dethklok songs hes alot faster even though i love yngwie's style and how he sounds its just awsome

[mayooshXP]

This is so easy.. anyone can do that, it comes naturally

just kidding this is FU***** amazing!

[duck2587]

this guy is amazing. He is on the same status as shawn lane (the best guitarist who ever lived)

[vendettav15]

this is like a cannon

[nickelbag66]

NAH Sorry about the 'this guy is like a god' comment!! But 'DIMEBAG DARRELL' was and always will be the best guitarist in the world..

[guitar141144]

@nickelbag66 HELL YEAH



[nickelbag66]

NAH Sorry about the 'this guy is like a god' comment!! But 'DIMEBAG DARRELL' was and always will be the best guitarist in the world..

[MrSkwisgaar13243]

@nickelbag66 XD Whatta faggot. your so individual mate

[jamestrnll]

ying way melmsting what a pussting i LIVE OFF OF EVERYN BOBBY ELSE MELMSTING

[jtdrummerboy]

i look at the comments and all i see are comparisons and arguments over opinions. THEY ARE OPINIONS, NOT FACTS, SO YOU CANT ARGUE OVER THEM! YNGWIE MALMSTEEN AND ERIC CLAPTON AND HENDRIX AND WHOEVER ARE AMAZING IN THEIR OWN WAYS! THEIR UNCOMPARABLE! to compare a blues musician to a metal musician? their different genres! sure blues influenced metal, but so did many other genres. ENJOY THE MUSIC

[robslavens]

It's the Seinfeld pirate shirt

[John39791]

this, addagio and echo etude are far better than all the rest of his stuff. i wonder why...

[sukiyen]

dont like it

[TheAcesNeights]

Everyone has their own personal guitar god some people's Hendrix others Rhodes still others EVH Mines Zakk Wylde they all are good and there's no possible way to actually tell the whose better don't be such poons Like the song says "Give me the beat and get lost in the rock and roll"

[d3strukter]

Sounds a bit like Echo Etude doesn't it?

[Guitarman461]

PUFFY SHIRT!!

[cbechtloff]

if he turned off the delay it would still sound good but not nearly as intricate

[emvir8gto8]

How can anyone like this? Its so boring and typical of today's guitarists: steve vai, malmsteen, hammett etc. What bullshit!!! No soul or emotion put into it at all like hendrix, clapton, gallagher, frusciante, gilmour, page, moore etc did.

[pentallideath001]

@emvir8gto8

Don't like it? fuck off!

[ian436]

@emvir8gto8 Absolutely agree with you. In my opinion Gary Moore beats them all, by a long long way.

[TheStratman707]

@emvir8gto8 its most likely because you dont have a good enough musical ear to pick up what hes actually doing so it probably sounds jumbled to you. Yes u should stick to listening to ur typical 3 note clapton solos

[emvir8gto8]

@TheStratman707 I have a great musical ear, in fact. Having one doesn't mean anything when you're listening to today's "shredders" and I can pick up everything he's doing, you moron. Oh and clapton's solos are revolutionary and you wouldn't have your shitty malmsteen without him. You are a dumbass, illiterate metalhead who needs to learn how to spell and get in touch with music from the 50's-70's. FUCK METAL!!!

[TheStratman707]

@emvir8gto8 actually fag i prefer more melodic guitarists like frusciante, and i give props to all the early influencial guitarists....BUT, im A. not completly ignorant to the evolution of guitar like you B. Actually understand what there doing on the fretboard, and what scales there using ect. C. Im not stuck in the 70's!! Music has evolved, if everyone played 3 chord classic rock songs using a minor pentatonic scale over and over how fucking boring would that be?

[guitar141144]

@emvir8gto8 dude, my god calm the fuck down, go comment on your 50's and 70's videos if you dont like our music. the fact that you even took the time to say how shitty metal is shows how pathetic YOU are. you dont even know any of us. We don't listen to metal for shredding, we listen to it for the music. so before you make another coment about your hate to metal, take these steps:

Sit down

Shut the fuck up

and LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.

peace brother

[emvir8gto8]

@guitar141144 yeah, i'm so pathetic, right? im so pathetic while you are making steps for me, yeah you're so cool and those steps you made were soo helpful! HOW CREATIVE!

Fuck you and your metal bullshit, the blues will never die. Go on and listen to your malmsteen crap. Playing fast only means you spend your days going up and down scales. In the end it's not exciting AT ALL and sounds the same. What IS exciting though is sounding different and making beautiful and kick-ass riffs anf licks!

[guitar141144]

@emvir8gto8 dude i got nothing against the blues but seriously, get over it. Nothing wrong with metal..... Honestly I'm not here to fight, if that's what you want, theres thousands of people to go to for that. Peace brother.

[emvir8gto8]

@guitar141144 nothing wrong with metal? yeah there is. it has no emotion put into it, solos are played extremely fast just to impress people, it's aggressive put not the aggressive that is likeable, it's just idiotic.

[guitar141144]

@emvir8gto8 HAHAHAHAHAHA no emotion in metal, your hilarious. you have no i dea so quit talking shit about it if you are not into it, you just like every other faggot out there who doesn't understand and condems what is different. see you in hell bitch. PEACE. if your as pathetic as you make yourself out to be, you'll reply to this comment

[guitarfreak23397]

@emvir8gto8 are you stupid?go use your fucking great musical ear and learn to play blues.you will really have a big deal trying to figure out a few pentatonic solo.i like blues but none of blues guitarists can do this and I CHALLENG YOU to play arpeggios from hell(nothing hard) and put it on your channel.if you do i challenge you to get at least 50% of likes.from this day i'm checking your channel daily

[emvir8gto8]

@guitarfreak23397 i refuse, why should i do something some asshole on youtube tells me to?

do you even know me? i can play the blues well, genius. Oh and checking my channel daily? thats not creepy at all.

[guitarfreak23397]

@emvir8gto8

you refuse because you cant play it

i dont know you but i see you go on any youtube video and shit all over it,talking how talented you are...

i actually can belive you play blues well but you said you can play malmsteen, and you cant if you are playing only blues

and i didnt say it is creepy to check your channel

you said that there woudnt be no malmsteen and metal without blues.well you can look on this metal as neo-classical music and if there wastn bach there woudnt be any blues

[emvir8gto8]

@guitarfreak23397 you know its pointless arguing with an ignorant metalhead like you, fuck you, fuck metal. The blues is what it's all about, hopefully you will soon see that. You and all metalheads think a guitarist is good if he can play fast, that says a lot about you, good luck dumbass.

[nemogre]

i have been a guitar player for many years... to contribute to the debate i want to say that yngwie is undoubtedly an amazing musician and a real prodigy at the beggining of his career. his initial albums are pieces of amazing guitar work and composition unfortunately the excesses of rock star life and his lack of development left him stuck into the same licks and song types over and over again.... even his playing is sloppy these days. he had the guts to become really amazing but he got bored

[Chaos23x]

admit it guys he is just totally awesome ;D

[jscott2250]

In the description it says he is like god.....WRONG. He is god

[jocoolmen]

I WANT THE SAME DELAY SET AS HE DOES, he does dual solos with his self man, how much peeps could do that :O

[ZeBoce]

Too easy.

[StellarVulture]

@ZeBoce shut up you obviously dont know the first thing about delay.

[ZeBoce]

@StellarVulture It was a joke...

[ThePondDogs]

At around 0:52 you can hear what sounds like the inspiration for part of Dethklok's Thunderhorse.

[evilspongebob13]

i would like to know where he purchased his shirt.

[Kekkeyu]

@evilspongebob13

A store called "The 80s" maybe ;D

[nashicobresciani]

@evilspongebob13 Hand tailored, I think! LMAO

[MrLotus2035]

@evilspongebob13 It's the puffy shirt from that episode of Seinfeld.

[MikeBassil]

@evilspongebob13 it looks more like a tablecloth lol

[TheTrollMage]

@evilspongebob13 1849.

[turtlewarrior99]

@evilspongebob13 they are his bed sheets

[tommyxboy101]

and i used to think Bullet for my valentine was amazing.. Then i found real musicians.

[thatguyyoudontfeel]

16 people are fans of Slash... LOL

[alief7ify]

@thatguyyoudontfeel LOL

[mychem1914777]

@thatguyyoudontfeel I actually like Slash a lot, in fact, he was the guitar player who inspired me to play. But I also love guys like Yngwie here. Slash may not be the best, but he`s already said that he doesn`t view himself as being that good

[zakk7929]

@thatguyyoudontfeel more like everyone who watched this video obv you think the faster you are at guitar the better

[TheHanafymm]

@thatguyyoudontfeel acctually 459 would be fans of slash, theyre both awesome musicians

[Aremine]

@TheHanafymm lol

[TenhoMeideia]

@thatguyyoudontfeel Oh ffs don't even start with that shit.

[CEm0i]

@thatguyyoudontfeel Stupid comment

[ChaoticBlade019]

@thatguyyoudontfeel  its 21 now =D

[8cruser]

@thatguyyoudontfeel 21 now XP

[PODSpecial]

@thatguyyoudontfeel I'm a huge fan of Slash, but I still like Malmsteen -.- So stfu

[SparcoC4]

@thatguyyoudontfeel wtf?

[shadowmuniplitive]

@SparcoC4 It's a joke. He basically said those who dislike the video are fans of Slash.

[SparcoC4]

@shadowmuniplitive lol.... Hello Mr Obvious. I know. But that is WTF.

[shadowmuniplitive]

@SparcoC4 I believe I see it now. You disagree with him basically dissing on Slash

[IdiotsRUsLtd]

@thatguyyoudontfeel Hahaha fuck overrated Slash man

[tjompiskompis]

@thatguyyoudontfeel Both are great! I'm a big fan of Yngwie, Slash and Synyster Gates! Don't judge

[MrNate0620]

just because you could play it doesnt make him shit or you a god. Sure hes a great player. but hes a genius composer! it takes a good player to cover and play other peoples' songs, but it takes a great player to compose his own amazing music

[chrisclay1000]

I wish i could half the shit he can, but im not complanin

[frippvintage]

You dudes fight and talk like girls on Malmsteen

[MsCristhian19]

mil respetos toka muy bien x algo esta en la lista de los mejores 100 mejores

[xxmetalingusxx]

[KommadorCuddles2]

@xxmetalingusxx

I Can My Schecter Damien DR To Sound Like Anything Right Now. My Amp Is An Ampeg Ax 44c And It Sounds Like Shit.

[settlethesky324]

this guy is very cocky and full of himself. im not deniying his skill, hes defintely talented, but he's a jerk

[Tinfoil93]

@settlethesky324 He's a little arrogant but I wouldn't call him a jerk. Axle Rose is a jerk. But thats just me.

[CitySkateboards]

@Tinfoil93 Dude Yngwie is WAYYY Cockier than Axl Rose. And believe me, Rose is one cocky bastard. But he has NOTHING on yngwie.

[Tinfoil93]

@CitySkateboards I think Axle Rose is a bigger jerk though.

[CitySkateboards]

@Tinfoil93 Completely agreed haha

[justin402055]

@Tinfoil93 Axle Rose cant sing and is a douche bag, still love guns n roses

[Tinfoil93]

@justin402055 I like Guns and Roses too. Just not Axle Rose.

[alicecullenx29x]

GOD!!!!!!! HE *IS* A GOD!!!!

[infectionsman]

hotdogs for fingers and donuts for breakfast!

[christiaanput]

i prefer blue

[kornudito]

im ont a fan of yngwie, but in this piece he really rocks, i love the melody and the way he uses the delay, just brilliant

[Sp4rt4nR3C0N]

A lot of people can play as him, but just he can create that awesome pieces of music, thats why he is on the holy guitar trinity

[badhorsee]

yes i am wing wee malstee, i now will go behind ampwiffier and snort uh cocaine or sumptin ,,,then i be back and play even faster

[badhorsee]

uh-hoy matees. imnow gonna burn my fingers off, they will be smoking nubs when i get all done arggggggggggggghhhh

[dennisIrsch]

He plays this song with emotion!

[dennisIrsch]

This is a wonderful Song!!!

[schecter707]

@d3strukter he did dude and its sick as fuck

[d3strukter]

00:40 - 0:44... I don't know if he meant to do it or not... but with the knowledge and skills of this guy.. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional... he used the delay and echo like a second guitar to play harmonics as well.. I don't know if you guys will understand me.. But you can't blame me.. That mans playing can get you HIGH!!

[henryshomebrew]

@d3strukter check out echo etude. he does that throughout the whole tune. very impressive

[Augenatic]

@d3strukter yes he played notes that harmonized with the delay notes

[Vekranith]

This guy is not LIKE a god. He IS a god.

[ichbindunurcool]

will his echo ever get him?

[xmun069]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JuggernautBand]

So what if you can do this? Iron Man is easy, but nobody complains about it being easy. And flameboi, you just stated my goal.

[Chaz6993X]

Delay for the win. :D

[MrSienisalaatti]

@Chaz6993X of course, always more epic with delay

[JumpinPakFlash]

@Chaz6993X whats delay? is it when u strum but the sound comes through the amp 5 seconds later?

[flameboi1373]

LOL i laugh at all you haters. you wish you could do half the shit he does and then he plays something slower and your all like THATS NOT HARD..... LOL he could destroy you. if he plays something you could play that doesnt make him shit, it is just his style to play fast, and come on i would love to see someone bag him then learn appegios from hell

[karasuuuuuuuuuuu]

@flameboi1373 totaly agreed with u mate ;)

[megapipi]

@flameboi1373 cock sucker

[vipersnake1490]

@flameboi1373 i'd give up a limb just to be able to play a tenth as well as him. all the haters can SUCK MY DICK!

[btbamdep]

@flameboi1373 Who gives a shit. Dimebag Darrel's style of playing is way better than this garbage. It's night and day.

[guitar141144]

@btbamdep I fuckin agree all the way brother

[beefcake0354]

@flameboi1373 some people just think once they can play what he can, they are equally good, they never think how he came up with all those things, and how he amazed the world the first time we heard it, it's a "pioneer" thing that deserves RESPECT! :)

[ECLIPSEOFMYMIND1]

FUNNY HOW PEOPLE BITCH ABOUT HOW HE IS NOTHING BUT SPEED --LOL---THEN HE PLAYS A BEAUTIFULLY THOUGHT OUT SLOWER PIECE OR PASSAGE AND THE CUNTS ARE ON HIM FOR THAT AS WELL -----ENVY IS HILARIOUS

[Solus77]

@ECLIPSEOFMYMIND1 beautiful????? yea, de gustibus non est disputandum. but this is FUCKING NOISE. I AM TIRED OF DUMB FUCKS LIKE YOURSELF.

god???? you people have serious issues. THIS GUY IS A JOKE!

[slingshotmcoy]

@Solus77 Awe its so cute how your trying so hard

[Solus77]

@slingshotmcoy lol I'm not trying shit. listen to what you want. it's unfathomable how this guy is considered one of the best, even among living guitarists. lol he knows how to play and shred, but where exactly is his music??? arpeggios from hell - laughable. and thanks for your comment. :)

[slingshotmcoy]

@Solus77 And if people agreed, maybe you would have more likes

[drufle]

@ECLIPSEOFMYMIND1 k
