Fender Malmsteen Strat test drive

[expressyourselfist]

I can see Switchblade 100 head up there on the shelf.What do you think about this amp.

[eduardo0796]

beautiful

[SRcRasher]

Unknow head

[starlinginspector]

@SRcRasher my thoughts exactly

[megamicron]

Wonderful guitar. It's far ahead beyond

[Zakksback17]

is this guitar worth it?

[MrBroodjewarmvlees]

Is it just the light or does it look very plasticish? O.o

[Diomenesx]

Sounds like heaven.

[Jutawansg]

with this type of playing what are u trying to showcase, its a shame u played it with YM signature guitar ...

[CobHatecrewNor]

I miss this guitar now. Got a Suhr, and happy about that, but this guitar also packs alot of punch, and the scallop is fantastic.

[cast390]

Nice playing,very smooth and fluid.

[thayerlaz92]

Is the scalopped fret board hard to get used to?

[CobHatecrewNor]

@thayerlaz92 Ive had one of those guitars.. It can seem a bit weird at start, but after a couple of days with that guitar, you will get highly addicted to it. The scallop neck is awesome, and the sound is really something else. I dont like standard fender-guitars, and i never really liked stratocasters, the tone, the neck.. But this guitar was really something awesome.

[OneDownServer]

I live and die for Fender Strats!! But not so much for cornford amps. Also Tele's are wonderful too. This Yngwie strat sounds very good. The chords have a full body sound to them. The guitar has great projection. You can tell right away that even if it wasn't plugged in it is still loud. But there is only one way to really play and hear a strat...through a MARSHALL!!!

[CristianoTonelFetter]

Tasty guitar!

[KeyboardTheatre]

hahaha... Yngwie's Strat + Holdsworth's Technique

[StanleyKu]

Nice fluid riffs! It sounds awesome.

[ThatBigMetalhead]

1:00 thats what i was waitinig to hear :)

[AceVenturaQ911]

My favourite fender guitar

[jmp100watt]

thanks for doing some non-malmsteen riffs on a malmsteen! Sounds killer, now I want one. Great.............!!!!

[FallenPrey33]

I don't know if there's any truth to this but I wouldn't change my string gauge on a scalloped neck for fear of breaking it.

[CptColtFlash]

do all yngwie strats have really high action?

[RobertoArceCorretjer]

@CptColtFlash the ones they sell do, but that can be "fixed". he owns a lot of guitars that are unmodified so, surely enough, there must be some guitar that doesn't have the high action.

[paco197378]

good work amazing guitar

[ToXin88]

amazing!! more yngwie strat videos plz

[padawan007]

ahh dang a splawn quickroad, splawns are awsome sounding amps

[CobHatecrewNor]

If people have a problem with the gauges, you should do what was done to one i had, just get a new nut, save the original one, and play with 10's. I never liked regular fender strats, but the Yngwie model was unbelievable

[cjetelomar2010]

i like malmsteen's new strat model, SD Pickup version... the tone seems full than former Dimarzios...

[StanleyKu]

Awesome fluid playing!

[hezerock1]

ihan paska

[nickcg]

amazing fender... the mamlsteen's fender is the most gorgeous and sounds amazing fender hehehe

[boobj]

8 11 14 w22 32 48 ... thats it. weird for you maybe . I grow up on it.

[AndyVerok]

Sounds like anything but a strat :)

[billmeedog]

Rick,

KILLER PLAYING & TONE!

BTW, it makes sense (to my thinking) that YOU, of all people, could REALLY "get on" with a scalloped-fingerboard (STUPIDLY light-strings NOTWITHSTANDING - LOL!), because I always think of your technique (in both hands) as being SUPER-efficient/economical! I remember (one of the first clips I ever saw of you!) on YouTube where you did that lesson about "economy-of-motion" and "minimum-requisite-fret-pressu­re" etc! Also, you always seem so RELAXED (as does YJM!)

[Yanniepenguin]

Amazing playing man! Very smooth.

[Wh00terman]

Great playing Rick.

[dingle1]

Sounds great Rick. I tried one of those a while back, couldn't get on with the scalloped board, I'm too heavy handed.

[JayFraser0987]

@ojiope I find a scalloped fretboard is tough to get usedto, but because of the lack of friction it makes playing a lot easier when you get used to it. Bends are a lot easier, although soloing in general never seemed to change for me

[ojiope]

@JayFraser0987 thanks buddy!!!

[KingTabor]

a lot of woody tone, it is yours now?

[Jdudeo]

Rick the perfection of your playing technique amazes me every time

[Te079]

outstanding !!

[ojiope]

good job buddy!!! keep n rockin...sir, many peoples said The scalloped fretboard actually makes playing more difficult, and that it's easier to play solo..isnint real???

[jtxp93]

y malmsteen didnt use a ibanez.............!!!!

[j1e9a9n0]

MAn!! Fender is a good guitar, but I don't like the Strato Body tipe.

[legendaryspear]

awesome :)

[jonfred4]

Sounds friggin incredible man!!



[TheGamerMitchell]

Love it man. I'm def subscribing.

[blackjackbeast09]

i'd much rather listen to you than malmsteen. solid playing!

[Barefoot67]

8's string set? Hmm, didn't know such a thing existed

[jeremylive31500]

Oh man you're so good!!!!

How do you do the legato at 0:47???It sounds fucking awesome!!It reminds me of guthrie govan.

[TheHammersFall]

I picked one of these up in a local music store, mostly to try out the scalloped neck. It definitely would take me sometime to get used to playing. Very nice guitar though.

[sportsportsport]

skills playing!

[theguitfiddle]

You don't have enough gold hanging off your wrist to play that guitar! Seriously though, killer playing!!

[ZeErMaC]

8's are very hard to pick on.......you mentioned that you use 10's? 10's on standard tuning???????

i heard that this damages the bridge, what do think?

[johnyprestige]

@ZeErMaC no that can't be true, 10's are still a light gauge.

[johnyprestige]

Bet this took some getting used to!

[jbnaruto93]

shred man ¬¬

[Curbst0mped]

wheres the harmoic minor?????

[starlinginspector]

@Curbst0mped dont you mean Heroic minor? Yng uses it a lot ;-)

[braianrata]

@Curbst0mped the scalloped fender not only to play Yngwie Malmsteen, I for example play a guitar paul gilbert also scalloped.greetings to all guitarists!!!

[lauriemonk]

Good choice :)



[captainkjub]

great riffage!!

[TomRichardson92]

sounds great, how did you find the scalloped fingerboard?

[starlinginspector]

@TomRichardson92 Needs a really light touch. This guitar has 8's on it too which being used to 10's is quite hard for me to retain control.

[zacdarider]

@starlinginspector have you ever tried 9-46 hybrid elixir polyweb strings ? if yes what do you think of it ?

[LucasGonzalezTube]

@starlinginspector Do you have 10's on the Vigier. Maybe someday I'll sell a kidney and buy one.

[owczarzdw]

@starlinginspector I can't even imagine playing with 8's ;)

[starlinginspector]

@owczarzdw yeah, I don't like it at all.

[msnrc]

I expected some YJM's style shred.

[mapexdad]

Amazing! And the guitars quite good too :P
