That's right, he shouldn't do clown acting live. When he used to have real bands before Spellbound, he lived up to his name. People want to see him play because he's Yngwie and not a hop around. I have no idea what happened to him...
After 40 years others have figured out how he plays more than I think he has. look around this is clear. Others break down the positions, scales, licks, picking, rushing and dragging in such details it is amazing
This course is a unique opportunity to watch him play in close up and analyse in detail what happens. It's worth the effort, because he's one of the best metal/rock guitar players. He's an intuitive player who 'just does it' without explaining formally and slowly in detail how to. Many great talents are like that. So you must know the various picking techniques in advance, and then this is a good addition and completion of that knowledge. It is therefore a master class. I've always liked his rather classical approach to rock guitar. My goal is to play what he does cleanly, clearly, without distortion and rhythmically perfect, so still more classical. I doubt if it's possible. Fast playing, pedals and overdrive often hide a lot of imperfections. But I consider it a challenge of lesser importance. Playing good music is what counts.
It doesn't make sense to learn distorted parts, clean. Picking attacks and techniques are applied differently in such case. You can't use palm mutes because it won't sound right. Just use minimal distortion like his early tone.
@@unleashthefury111 (Palm) muting is necessary for any amplified guitar, even an unamplified accoustic with much resonance and sustain. There are minor differences between playing distorted or not, but that amounts to using the same techniques slightly differently. A good (picking) technique is universal.
its not his studio version but this is still phenomenal perfomance and display of his incredible skills, super control, effortless flow, insane vibrato, and still very very fast. Loved it.
What to expect from YJM? It's obvious that he would complicate things and go beyond the usual. The melody is different. The picking is artificially economical and the digitation purpusely hermetic. Hahaha. That's how the Maestro is! Amazing guitar class as always!! 5:51 jewels and the gold Rolex.
Those descending harmonic minor licks used to be mostly picked on the old recordings with only some strategic pull-offs, now he seems to do those almost entirely legato, just punching that last note with the pick.
I wish he would play things straight, as in exactly as recorded. His early recordings were insane but also very refined and I feel like when he improvises he tends to overplay. Still amazing playing but I appreciate note for note performances personally
I can say many great things about Yngwie. He's one of my idols. I've watched live in Leningrad over and over with my jaw hitting the floor every single time. But I've always thought the rhythm in his licks is not so accurate sometimes.
One can say the same thing about Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix (to name a few), as well. Yngwie is a structured and disciplined "free spirit" with classical music and his interpretations of it. I ALSO think it is because he frequently uses a drum machine and the timing on when to start and stop a lick/run may be ever so slightly off as he has to "wait" for a passage to begin. Live, the "problem" is usually because he is running around and doing the showmanship stuff.
Yngwie is a virtuoso.... and no doubt my favorite guitarist of all time.... but he was clowning in this video..... I'm not sure if he played ANYTHING the way it's supposed to be played.... lol.... still, he was a true pioneer in the early days.... nobody could touch him back then...
I have to say, I am disappointed I bought this. I love Yngwie and most TrueFire lessons, but this was marketed as “Lessons”. Just look at the titles of the videos. There is no instruction at all - which is what a lesson is. It is just Yngwie playing his songs with 3 camera angles.
You can find all the tabs for these songs free online. It's a real treat to see his hands up close. I'm self taught and I mostly learned from watching the hands of the greats and then developing my ear. You put a few sources of material together. You get your youtube videos of people giving lessons for these songs. You listen to the song. You watch the master play the song. Not much more to do here. You're not expecting him to slow it down for you and explain in detail all the theory behind his songs are you? Ill make it easy. Diminished scale and Harmonic Minor minus one note. You're welcome.
I understand your point. Many talented people are not so good at teaching. That's a different skill. There are people who studied Yngwie in detail. I recommend the excellent book of Chris Brooks: 'Neoclassical Speed Strategies for Guitar'. It can serve as a manual to these video's.
@@mer1redyou're correct on that part, he's not a teacher. It's a trait that many of us don't have. At this point, I don't think I'd buy this, not a knock against truefire, it's just that there are others who go more into depth about the techniques yngwiee (and others) use to get their sound, like the aforementioned ones, and Troy Grady for example.
Imagine there was a technology where Yngwie could rent out his guitar talent so anyone could play like him for 24 hours. I don't think it would be cheap but man I would only stop to drink some water and just fast.
I love when he's more controlled and completely focused on the performance instead of stage antics.

He makes it look effortless.
Far Beyond my Skillset!
he's really calm, high-concentrated!!
Amazingly well done, Bravo! Let's get Yngwie back for another ten songs, this is great.
This song contains All of his technic 🤘
The whole thing is awesome, but 4:24 onward is stellar- see especially 5:11
Far Beyond the Sideburns
😂 EXCELLENT comment 😂
Dude. That's a long way.
After 40 years others have figured out how he plays more than I think he has. look around this is clear. Others break down the positions, scales, licks, picking, rushing and dragging in such details it is amazing
You will always be the maestro
Flawless and makes it look so effortless. His right hand technique is so smooth; there is hardly any pick movement.
That dive bomb pinched harmonic at 1:06.... absolutely sick

Love this, he's amazing
The name TrueFire could never be more apt, what a performance! So good!
So feckin´ flawless it´s almost scary!
Un son magnifique, quel beau vibrato! Quel grand musicien ! Merci pour cette superbe vidéo ! Thank you Maestro !
yngwie was happy with himself at the end of this performance. understandably.
It's Yngwie J Malmsteen!!! 🔥🔥🔥
***FANTASTIC***
Got to buy this class to myself for birthday!
There's no one like him.
Started the course it’s great.
superb maestro, versatile playing
Legend.
Amazing!
its not his studio version but this is still phenomenal perfomance and display of his incredible skills, super control, effortless flow, insane vibrato, and still very very fast. Loved it.
Wow just WOW!
Amazing as always, every note screaming

5:51 jewels and the gold Rolex.
Everytime hearing it is like the first time
infinite variations! Maestrooooo
Does Yngwie often play too many notes & play ahead of the beat, YES!!! but his "Intonation & Vibrato" are perfection!!!
And more is more!
"Rubato".. in a music language
How many notes are too many?
My God!!!
No words!
audio doesn't match the fingers on some parts
I can hear audio overdubs at those parts. The tone sounds different for a couple seconds.
Yeah. Seems odd to overdub a performance for something like this but guess he wasn't happy with those parts..
yeah i noticed that as well. especially apparent between 4:37 - 4:47. Yngwie still rocks!.
I picked up on that too. There were times where vibrato could be clearly heard but not seen, and a few arpeggios as well.
it's a Yngwie trademark at this point... Every live video he released there were quite a few of those
🔥🔥🔥
Power la Malmsteen
Brilliant
very nice, i like the fact that it looks easy to play, of course is not...
the maestro finally slowed down a little for us
Those descending harmonic minor licks used to be mostly picked on the old recordings with only some strategic pull-offs, now he seems to do those almost entirely legato, just punching that last note with the pick.
🙌
Malmsteen.., je l’écoute depuis longtemps. Cette version de cet toune ses la plus harmonique que j’ai jamais entendu.. là plus dur à mon avis.
❤ j’adore cette version c’est ça meilleur à mon avis la plus complète en feeling 😊 vraiment harmonieux
Ce que j’aime de lui c’est qu’il est toujours entrain d’innover dans ses pièce dés façon différente de la jouer
I wish he would play things straight, as in exactly as recorded. His early recordings were insane but also very refined and I feel like when he improvises he tends to overplay. Still amazing playing but I appreciate note for note performances personally

It is ok that rushing and dragging is like a singer they are over the beat also. This adds to his playing I’m my opinion it does not subtract from it
@jakemf1 if done intentionally, yes.
Yngwie is a virtuoso.... and no doubt my favorite guitarist of all time.... but he was clowning in this video..... I'm not sure if he played ANYTHING the way it's supposed to be played.... lol.... still, he was a true pioneer in the early days.... nobody could touch him back then...
He's played this so many times, I'm sure he has no idea what "supposed to" is anymore.
He always plays his songs differently every time. Improvisation is a big part of his playing
Whats going on at 4:46 sound doesn’t even go with his finger movements
Yes it sounds like some parts are overdubbed.
nicely recorded, tis playback though(around 4:43 what you hear is not what he plays )
He must be an alien in order to "playback" a hundred percent improvised version 😂 a couple parts are overdubbed and thats it
@@luisandres8630 true that 😅 I stand corrected 🙂
Dear lord, it just does not look human.
,,,,,,,, K I N G S T R A T ,,,,,,,,,,,,,.........long live the king ,,,,land o' lakes,wi. USA.
I'd give my right arm to be able to pick like Yngwie. 🙄

@@thomask9577 I'd pay for closeup video demonstrations by the master. It's worth something.
Lesson ? This is a performance only
watch the video slowly 0,25 0,50

This is a bad cover
Love this, he's amazing
