    Does anybody remember Mike Varney's column in Guitar Player (last page of the mag)? When he received Yngwie's audition tape he was blown away, and said something to the effect"...he is going to be one of the greats". Yngwie was a mere 18 years of age. Crazy.

    I'm 19 and i discovered Yngwie on RUclips a few years back and it was his live solo with Alcatrazz after he played Kree Nakoorie, I was in complete awe and he is the reason I developed an obsession with electric guitar, young Malmsteen truly lit a spark in my soul and made me find a passion. Absolute monolith in the history of guitar.

    Awesome lesson, Dave. Definitely an overlooked part of Yngwie's playing. People focus on the shred, but not the compositional genius behind it. His harmony is perfect. Always.
    Another overlooked aspect of his playing is the use of pentatonic and blues scales. What's really interesting about it is what he does before and after he uses them. He can flow seamlessly between triad and diminished arpeggios along with diatonic scale runs, and pepper them with blues licks. They go by so fast they may go unnoticed by many, but they're there, and they're awesome. A lot of great players out there, but no one has Yngwie's fire and precision.

    In late '84 and into (mostly 1985) most of us finally "got Hip" to this Yngwie Guitar Dude we'd all been hearing about for more than a year, at 1st, listening to the mostly Instrumental Rising Force Debut, and soon afterwards (by Spring 1985) the Quite Heavy Metal w/vocal album "Marching Out" was Released I was a beginning Guitarist to get some abilities under my fingers, and Yngwie became an Unusual yet Instant Guitar Hero to Thousands of Guitar Freaks by 1985

    Winner Winner Lobster Diner! Solid lesson on YJM. Recall hearing his music for the first time back in 84/85. Buddy pulled out a Cassette Tape with hand written label that read LL Cool J. I was like WTH man, then he hit play..........BLACK STAR! I was just starting to play guitar around that time and was like OMG this dude aint Human! Major influence on me and think he is one of my Top three as for modem day players! Thanks brother Dave!

      Nicee. I play the acoustic solo guitar part from _The Ancient_ by Yes, and it ends on an open A Major chord. I let that chord sustain and go right into the acoustic solo part from Yngwie's _Trilogy Suite Opus 5._
      Also, Bouree in E minor was the first classical piece I learned. Unless you count Broon's Bane by Alex Lifeson. I still play all of them. Good stuff.

  • @aylbdrmadison1051
    @aylbdrmadison1051 4 года назад +3

    Although I've always paid attention to both hands, I used to watch other guitar players fretting hands more often. These days I find myself fascinated over players picking hands. Like watching David's finger picking technique here, similar to how I am fascinated watching Segovia's. Another player's picking hand that is awesome is Andre Nieri (definitely check him out if you haven't). I'd love to see a chordplay or licks of video of his material too.
    Edit: 15:00 Yeeea, I've heard of that one before.
    Been struggling with trying to nail it for the last 2 decades, lols. Just remembering the entire piece is a major undertaking (I taught myself to read music long ago, but still can't sight read anything complex).

    The first time I ever heard Yngwie, I was at a party (in the early 80's) that me and some of my buddies crashed. Blackstar started playing on a cranked turntable/stereo/cassette player. I heard the classical intro and thought, wow. I was just influenced by the classical playing of Randy Rhoads at the time. Then Blackstar kicked into high gear. I remember saying to myself, "Forget this party, how and where can I get this awesome record/cassette?" I didn't want to ask the owner. He would have asked, Who are you and who invited you here? LOL

  • @waynegram8907
    @waynegram8907 4 года назад +1

    Dave B, can you make a lesson on 80's guitarist that used major and minor scale sequencing patterns. Randy Rhoads used scale sequencing patterns like playing a minor scale in 3rds sequencing down and in 3rds but used a lot of different classical violinist scale sequencing. Yngwie's whole family is classically trained pretty much and when yngwie was young he listened to a lot of his mother classical records which I think his mother was an opera signer, his sister is a classical flute player, his brother was a classical piano player and his uncle was a teacher in physics which taught yngwie electronics and how pickups work. Yngwie says he just listened to a lot of classical records and that is why he is "hard wired" to write neo classical songs.

    I was only slightly bummed that you didnt finish that little uplifting descending part of that Opus piece. When you played the one part and then showed the outro part I was sad I didnt get to see that uplifting bridgy type piece leading out of the first part you did.
    Maybe you can get that to us in another vid piece on Yngwie?

    It would be great if you could Do some more Examination of the Guitar Playing Material of the Guitarists of King Diamond, especially the Earliest 1986-1987 KD Material, of the Debut "Fatal Portrait" & the 2nd album "Abigail" that Featured the Guitar Work of Michael Denner (who came from Mercyful Fate with King and Bassist Timi Hansen) to not make this a King Diamond Guitar 101 but "Fatal Portrait" and the Follow Up "Abigail" are Both Incredibly Awesome, but for opposite Reasons, "Fatal Portrait" all the Music, Riffs & Recorded Guitar Tracks is mostly 95% Michael Denner Material as the Fatal Portrait album was 90% Finished (and Is Rumored to be the Music/Material for the 3rd Mercyful Fate album following "Don't Break the Oath" ), so this was nearly finished Fatal Portrait album when Andy LaRoque Joined and while Andy Does appear here and there on "Fatal Portrait" playing a Few (half dozen) Lead Guitar Solos, it truly is a Michael Denner/King Diamond Album. So For This Reason Andy LaRoque was Promised that the Follow up album, (the One That Became "Abigail") Would his Andy LaRoque King Diamond album Playground, with Michael Denner contributing Guitar Tracks of mostly Lead Guitar Overdub's, and if you look at Individual Song Lead Guitar Icons, Michael Denner does Appear Playing Lead Guitar on a Number of Andy LaRoque Abigail Tracks, also noteworthy is the Awesome Track "The Possession" from Abigail is, I believe 95% Michael Denner, and perhaps the only Abigail Track that Michael Denner Is Definitely Involved, and what else is very Cool about both Michael Denner & Andy LaRoque' Lead Work during this early Period is how Michael Schenker-esque Each of their Guitar Solos can Be, while still reflecting deeper Yngwie Neo Classical Guitar Phrases very much becoming en vogue melodic stylization circa 1985-1987
