It doesn' t matter if you like him or not, but Yngwie has been one of the most influential player. The way that modern guitar is played has a lot of his techniques and innovations
I said it elsewhere, but Yngwie Malmsteen and Eddie Van Halen were two most influential guitarists. They of course built upon other guitarists in the earlier times, but these two defined rock guitar as we know today.
@@hyokonzhiang Absolutely. But I don't know why many times people recognize the influence of Van Halen but forget that of Yngwie, when I would even say that technically Malmesteen has contributed more to the modern way of playing. Today, the sweep arpeggios, the horizontal vision of the fretboard, the use of slurs and stacatto, the pedal notes, the way of incorporating classical techniques and harmonies and a long list of things typical of Malmsteen's way of playing belong to the standard language playing the guitar. Yngwie has been one of the great innovators, beyond rock guitar
@@eduardoallo8786 it's probably because Eddie was more successful as a musician. I guess even musicians are music fans first. And I would say Eddie and Yngwie's contributions are quite equal. Eddie shocked the world with tapping but also tremolo picking, extreme use of whammy bar, extreme customization of guitar, importance of tone, etc. Both revolutionaries.
Every few years there's a new guitarist that hits the scene and leaves ppl in amazement and changes the scene, spawning tons of copycats to follow. EVH, Randy, YJM are 3 such players I can recall in my lifetime. Remember getting his tape when it came out and being absolutely stunned. I was speechless! There's an A-minor sweep in BlackStar (I think) had NEVER heard anything like it before. I couldn't even imagine how it was possible, or what he was doing. Melted my brain. I'll always love YJM.
Yngwie is more my style, but I'd put Vai in there as well. He really bumped started a new era of progressive/experimental sound that this generation seem to identify with more. Maybe not technique wise, but his composition and use of sound is pretty familiar when you listen to the stuff that's trending lately like Polyphia and Ichika Nito.
@@Catbus-Driver True! I missed him. I remember when he got the scene and guitarists freaking out asking "How does he do it 😳😱"?!, then seeing tons of guitarists who he had influenced. I remember a guy I worked with went to the Eat Em and Smile tour and as soon as I saw him I asked if it was real or studio tricks. He was in disbelief as he confirmed that it was all real. He had seen Vai do it all in the show. I'll never forget him standing in front of me and that look on his face. 😂
@@vanguard4065 Vai for sure if we're talking about being an influence and changing the game. So many people took something he created and made something of their own with it.
@@vanguard4065Coming anywhere near the likes of what??... Record sales?... technical ability?..speed?...all those guys contributed and have their individual own styles. Guitar isn't an Olympic sport....Vai is much more than "good"...
Anytime there's an Yngwie video i Can't click on it fast enough. My Favorite Guitarist ever since 1993 ( The Year I discovered him and I haven't looked back since and have never regretted once.
I first heard him on Metal Shop. It was a radio show out of Cincinnati I think. Anyway they played I'm a viking and I remember just being blown away by the speed and articulation. I ran right out to the record store and bought marching out and rising force. But the thing that amazed me most was he was playing this old man guitar, a fender stratocaster. Up until that point I didn't think you could play that way on anything but a Jackson or a Kramer.
In 1983 when I first met Yngwie we partied all night long, Yngwie had that original strat in this video in the room, played now your ship’s for me!! He likes to bite his guitars 🎸 lol 😂
I don't care if him was the first signature artist when you see Yngwie ,you wanna pick a Yellow Stratocaster and play it , fast,slow with Clapton is just blues and with Cream he never was fast no Faster to me Yngwie is icon of Fender Stratocaster
later, Play Loud was DISCONTINUED because Yngwie switched to Seymour Duncan after decades with DiMarzio. several units of Play Loud guitar were sold when Yngwie was with DiMarzio.
@2:50 'this is from biting, actually.' So, did John Cruz bite it himself or he get YM to do it? You've got to uphold those CS authenticity standards after all.
The neck breaks, everyone takes a step back from breaks. The broken neck is kinda a right of passage. Once repaired the break is indeed stronger. Depends on the amount of wood and area to be glued. Maple fender necks are Zombie proof. Should there be a Zombie Apocalypse, A Strat and a Tele would be good weapon.
For real?!? Wow, congrats, man! But why it's so expensive? I've been once to those special places for guitar in SF, they sell exclusive guitars indeed....
I watched Yngwie throw that guitar up in the air at the Baltimore Arena around ‘86/‘87 or so, and the guitar hit the stage and broke the neck off. It wasn’t supposed to happen! He went wild and thrashed that poor guitar for another 4 or 5 minutes. I’m surprised they were able to salvage it!!
The original Strat that appears on the cover of the Rising Force album was destroyed. It was thrown in the air and missed and when it landed the body broke in two pieces. One of those pieces was purchased and sold to the Hard Rock in NYC. The neck of that Strat was the only thing that survived and was put on the “Duck”. That neck has also been broken by being thrown but was repaired.
@@TheGregglthanks for that info. I always knew something weird going on for a number of reasons. First, the play loud sticker itself is different and at a different angle from the one seen on Rising Force, and the Japan live video 1985 (printed letters, not hand written). I realized it covers a gash in the upper horn, as seen on the Duck in his instructional vid, and served the same function on the Rising Force guitar. He called the Rising Force guitar a 69, his main guitar (ie. His best guitar), but we know it had a 3 bolt ie., 1971 or later like the Duck. So if the Rising Force guitar was his main guitar, and it was destroyed as you say, it seems his psychological attachment to it pushed him to use a new hand drawn “play loud” sticker to put on the Duck, and give us all the false impression that it IS the Rising Force iconic guitar. (As he implies at 5:46). I actually feel bad for him, he must have really loved that guitar to do that. Now if the first poster is correct, he watched the Duck get the neck broken off, it would explain that is how he learned the 3 bolt situation related to 71 guitars (believing earlier these guitars were 69 models) and ever after replaces his 3 bolts with a 4 bolt plate. Apparently there is some other issue with those neck designs that cause the problem of coming loose (like a gap or something as part of the design), but most players think one extra screw saves the day. In order to distinguish Duck vs Rising force guitars back in 80s photos and vids, the Rising Force has a gash between lower horn and the neck that was always there, and the Duck does not, even now.
@@RicardoMarlowFlamencoThe reason why I know this is because my friend is the person who bought half of the broken piece of that guitar and sold it to the Hard Rock in NYC. I’ve met Yngwie a few times and got a few chances to hang out with him. First time was at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie NY when he was support for Dio. That night I gave him the original scalloped neck to my 71 Strat as a gift. After thanking me he immediately gave to his tech at that time, Jeff Horn, and told him to make it a 4 bolt. It was only a 3 bolt with the micro adjustment.
Fender has lost their minds at the custom shop. It must be all the paint and lacquer fumes. To buy a guitar that has all that missing paint, fake damage, dents, dings, and oxidized hardware...I just don't get it. I bought the regular YJM Strat and I will do the rest of the damage myself and save 3 grand.

That’s the most amazing guitar of all times. The maestro’s Play Loud. Great video!

Rare footage, thanks for putting it up.
Glad you enjoyed it
It's hard to believe that anyone could be better technically than Yngwie. He has so much skill and knowledge at this point. Mind blowing.
He's one of the best, but there are a lot of people out there equally technically proficient. It sucks, cause I'm nowhere even remotely close!
Look it up Cesario Filho.
Both this and Eddie Van Halens frankenstrat look like they went thru a wood chipper. Amazing they play/sound that good
YJM is all of that to me, no matter what. The last, and greatest of a fantastic era that will never be again. LLL
Yes, Live Love Laugh indeed.

yeah but he won't bite no
donuts
I just like him because he did things his way. Everything is authentic and that’s why he’s good
I have one from the early 90's finished in a weird red metallic paint,
Mine is from 1998, plays well!
This man was made for RUclips 💯

Thats not the guitar his sound in 2006-2010 was a bit weird
Too bad he got sloppy with age

Oh, please...I saw him live on his latest tour and he was great!
Compared to other fellas he still rocks hard !
