Chris Brooks at age 18 playing Black Star on Yngwie Malmsteen Strat

Uploaded by chrisbrooksmusic on Jan 20, 2012
You might not hear it in my recent music but I owe a lot to the nimble-fingered Swede. I dusted off my Yngwie Strat today and did some reminiscing about all the time I spent working on my chops thanks to Yngwie's inspiration. So in that spirit, I offer you this 4-track demo I did when I was about 18, complete with some photos of a younger me for extra laughs! Enjoy!

PS The dodgy cheering sample was my attempt to imitate the crowd on Yngwie's "Live in Leningrad" album.

I think I broke your Like and Play buttons from watching this video too much. Sorry man...

@vicchavill Chris made two albums worth of originals, and they're something as rare as instrumental guitar tunes that you can hum.

@CRANKYONE100 It was a mic'd amp (Peavey Classic Chorus 212) but the intro was a Boss ME6 (waaaaaaaaay before GT8s existed). This was in the 90s.
