      the devil cried No, he actually knows about what he's talking about. Yngwei's music is repetitive and cliche, there's nothing new to discover. Although I have to say I like what he was doing in the 80s

    • @jspartacus
      @jspartacus 7 лет назад +5

      Matej Fele Agree. Bumblefoot picked apart Yngwie's theoretical approach and sees that there isn't much there under the surface. The most difficult aspect is the speed, which can be gained with patience and a metronome.

    • @Guppusmaximus
      @Guppusmaximus 7 лет назад +28

      jspartacus - Sure, after almost 40 years of analyzing & critiquing anyone's style worthy of praise will "fail" under that kind of scrutiny. I'm sure EVH could be picked apart as well (actually Bumblefoot's video on him is mushc shorter - go figure). The fact of the matter is that Yngwie was ahead of his time in his day and that day was about speed. All I know is that the end result, the pure energetic cacophony of his electric prowess mixed with his passion & emotion for Classical music was moving to say the least.
      EVH's Erruption was all anyone talked about until Yngwie blazed the beginning solo to Steeler's 'Hot on your Heels'.

    Cool, I love Malmsteen and that was a nice snapshot of some of his motifs. I think Yngwies' style is so refined that he can't play any other way - and why should he!
    Bumblefoot himself is a tremendous musician and an impossible guitar player, he has a fair sized back catalog for you to check out, all different and all great.

    It's not just what he plays but the way he plays it so much more , not only fast but so dynamic, 4X his picking is not only precise and perfectly linear but also percussive , even listening to you pull off all the notes so precisely sounds like a different guitarist playing Yngwie material, when Yngwie plays somehow you know its him playing, he accents notes (for example every 1st, 3rd or 4th note in the scale or lick) slightly harder even during those lightning fast scales and arpeggios and he picks really hard and articulated perfectly to his left hand... he truly is a freak & a genius, love him or hate him, there is only one Y.J. Malmsteen , + he has every right to love himself, he knows how good he is!
