Listen to him play blues. Yngwie def has great feel people telling you this don’t understand music. Just because Yngwie plays fast doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any soul in his playing because he def has soul in his playing.
This isn’t even as clean as prime Yngwie but clarity together with the speed is what makes him so good. Others may have gotten to that speed but clarity always suffered. Not with pre car crash Yngwie
He's calmed much more in the recent years. Nowhere near as he was before. He now looks like he really has fun and doesn't really want to win a competition. I've always enjoyed Yngwie's music but now, much more.
This man doesnt even look at the fretboard while playing this!! He's on another level, imagine what is something hard enough for him to pay that he has to look at the fretboard to focus... This is the top man.
@@navdragoni agreed, I've never been a fan of 50 billion 64th notes just for the sake of it. Michael Angelo Batio, same thing. I never have cared for speed for the sake of speed.
My dad has Yngwie Malmsteen CD when i was still 4 y.o and would play it every weekend, this song used to be my lullaby for afternoon nap LOL me and my brother grew up to be metalheads
He is one of the BEST soloists in the world. There is very few who can play the baroque period guitar style. He is a reminder to practice everyday and work on your scales.
its not about playing something baroque. even tho bach for example is not easy to play on any guitar, its more about the interpretation. u can really just visit any school for musicians and find alot of people that can play older music :D yngwie is great tho
Alchemy era was by far his best playing IMO, not the cleanest like Alacatrazz or early Rising Force era but for sure the most free flowing and agressive playing he's ever had. He will always be a Legend.
Something magical happened when Yngwie sat down to record this session. His playing on these clips is more energetic and powerful than I've ever heard anywhere else, by a long shot. Even the tone is massive and to my ear different than anywhere else I've heard him play. (I wonder if it's different gear than usual) Just incredible. I return to this particular video for inspiration at least monthly.
That´s the same exact reason that i made a mp3 out of that particular version. It´s amazing. On 4:00 it starts. 4:04, this amazing bend, and the 4:06 superb riff with the screaming reinforced bend. Perfect 1000 times.
@@saulfernando557 never mastered the actual solo - since the whole song is like a solo I’m fine with just playing all the other parts. This song taught me about harmonic minor scales & how to use diminishes sweeps
His mastery of the fretboard shows in every “live video” he does. I’ve listened to this song for 30 years and all the embellishments still work back to the essence of the all the main phrases It’s literally like. “I’m so bored ... my masterpiece is too easy”. And the sheer amount of material he has and recalls ... a true virtuoso. And the only one of my guitar heroes I’ve never met. Vai, Satch, Gilbert, EVH. ... one day ... maybe.
Those other guitarists are amazing, Gilbert being my fave of the ones you mentioned. But there's something about yngwie thats a level above. He has the attitude of EVH and the ability of the other 3 combined
@@JobForAMaxboy yeah his mastery is just "next level" over 99.9% of every other electric shredder. And the tone he gets from his Fender !! - always claiming its just a stock American Strat and Plexi\Marshall amp !!
He's such a presence. I went in one of his workshops - was actually a workSHOW. And had the pleasure to meet him in the airport later (yeah, I went full crazy fan, cause you know, it's YNGWIE). When I saw him, he pointed at me and said "WORLD ON FIRE, MAN! WORLD ON FIRE" (he was promoting that album too), and oh man! It felt just like I've been chosen by a god HAHA the man really has a thundergod aura on him, simple as that. Long live Y.J. Malmsteen!
I know, right? It's the best display of economy of movement that I've ever seen. Malmsteen may be an egotistical bastard sometimes, but he has more than earned that right.
So obvious that he enjoys every little note and wiggle of vibrato he plays, regardless of how many thousands of times he must have played this song. The people that say Yngwie has no soul or feeling in his playing are only in tune with the bluesy bends they've been told over and over are the only way to be soulful on the instrument. Why don't you realize you can get a lot more out of music appreciation if you're not pre-screening all of your opinions by asking yourself, "Is this what everyone else generally agrees is talented or moving or impressive?"
+TheFabio Imo fast playing can be super soulful and show skill, I mean seriously playing fast is rly difficult and sometimes is just naturally emotional. Completely agree with your point
+Joe Cockx but is all about what you play fast, playing scales fast in my opinion is pretty shit. someone like marty friedman though is pretty good playing fast, for example his stuff in megadeth
It's astounding. At his fastest, he has so little movement in his right hand - the economy involved would be unbelievable if I didn't see it with my own eyes. He makes it look effortless, and then I pick up my guitar to try and replicate that, and lol...no. ;-)
2023 and still i can never get enough of this man's music. The world needs to know there is only one G.O.A.T. I present to you Yngwie J Malmsteen. Speed Accuracy Technique and makes you sit and watch him play. *Take your guitar and use it as a coffee table. 😅
I love his use of the tremolo bar. Perfectly timed. Adds another dimension to his vibrato. This has to be the ultimate version of this tune he ever played.
Nah..if you watch the entire video you'll see him flop on some classical music stuff from Bach which wasn't meant to be played on guitar and acknowledge it. He also acknowledges he can't play fully alternate picking, like Al di Meola does. The point being the reality of Guitar. Guitar is way too broad in versatility to be mastered by a single man. The known man that is the closest to be that versatile is named Guthrie Govan.
Actually, he made a couple of false notes here and there... Compare it with the studio version or the best version of this song, the 1989's "Live At Leningrad" version, which is probably his absolute best moment ever ;)
how can people say his playing is emotionless? I disagree, he's not just a mindless shredder, his touch is super recognizable and unique, the articulation is never boring, he's not just blindly going up and down scales. His bendings and vibratos are iconic. Don't get me wrong, there are mindless shredders, but I think he's not one of them. His solos aren't mindless shredding, just rock n roll on steroids.
He so is. Just another 80's bach n' roller. They all sounded pretty much the same. He is fast and technically skilled nobody can doubt but there are few adults that want to listen to him for very long.
@@PlanktoniusRex considering that the average iq in the world is 105, your comment doesn't make these "few adults" look like inferiors, but the opposite to that...
@@rotisseueryu but im sure yngwie is one of a kind musician, even some people takes practice like he does they cant be malmsteen, there are some people born talented
This Is probably my favorite performance of this Song. Much respect to this man, immense Guitar player! The more I watch him playing the more I want to pick my guitar!
I get what people mean when they say "Malmsteen doesn't play with feel", but from what I hear and see. Malmsteen has feel, from the way he utilizes vibrato on the notes he plays, and the faces he makes when he bends. As well as the presence and movements he has on stage really connects with me. Note that this is also coming from me, a guy who has played and listen to almost everyhthing from blues,glam metal,classic rock,funk and more.
It's not that malmsteen doesn't have feel but the feel is very rare most of his solos are just note density for people who aren't interested in becoming shred gods,this being a rare exception with an insane amount of feel in a lot of parts. If you see him playing the "blues" you'll se what I mean, he plays the blues scale at 300 BPM.no point in that. But he is exceptional technically,no doubt.
@Orpheas Malliamanis No they arent the same thing. A book has letters our eyes dont have letters but they can see letters. Letters that are meant to be seen from our eyes to the book. The letters are the grain of the wind with the eyes we have in our heads. What you say?
I've watched this video so many times and it still gives me goosebumps, every note is pure Awesomeness. And what I love is its all improvised on the fly, Yngwie you are the master.
99.9% of the dislikes are from guitar players that can't do this, I don't care what they say their reason is. I guarantee you that if the wanna' bees could do this or do Michael's stuff, they'd do it. And don't tell me that you wouldn't. Is he a bit arrogant? So what! You have to spend endless hours with an instrument to achieve the above. I admire anyone that can sit with a guitar that long and do that sort of playing. I didn't have that sort of desire, so I was a mediocre guitarist my whole life. He's brilliant.
Or maybe they’re from people who genuinely don’t like this style of music. Dislike =/= Jealousy or envy. I can admire the dude’s technique, but I find the music quite distasteful. He plays something legitimately melodically interesting, then ruins it by playing as fast as he can to transition to his next lick. This repeats for 6 minutes. Sorry, not my cup of tea.
No matter how many times I watch this, it blows my mind. His singing vibrato is to die for. He's using low output single coils (stacked to cancel out hum and noise.) with not much distortion. It's in his hands.
Yngwie knows how to make a guitar sing! If only all people can comprehend fast music. Every note matters. That part from 4:00 to 4:24 is something big musicians don't manage to write in a whole career. Look up what guitar stars say about Yngwie.
@@scoobyroo5000 MR alternate picks and sweeps more cleanly but Yngwie bends better and has much better phrasing. Completely different players. MR is a robot compared to Yngwie.
@@bautistagarais488 Plus MR's tone leaves quite a bit to be desired IMHO. A great technical player, for sure, but not organic sounding. Yeah, 'robot'-like as Cheximus aptly put it...
Thank for making me laugh. I feel like shit. I seen Yngwie Malmsteen play in October of 2003 G3 show. It was funny seeing him kick picks in the crowd. And, that was Yngwie Elvis period.
Que exactitud tiene! Uno de mis guitarrista preferidos de todo mí vida! De Richie Blackmore salte a escucharlo en ek año 82, agradezco al.unverso por escucharlo!
Yes. This is your real power. But, unfortunelly, Malmsteen seems lazy sometimes... he has a little complex personality. If always uses that hidden musical forces he'll more fans that has today.
Never thought I would cry to a Yngwie Malmsteen solo. People who say no soul, should come back and hear it when you get unwarranted hate from the world. The feelings of hatred, anger, humiliation, and pain, this solo is a mix of all of it
I remember my dad had a copy of this video and I would watch it over and over as a kid. My dad got me into playing guitar at thst time and he put this video in the TV and was just like "check this out."
We should all wish to know ourselves as well as Yngwie knows and expresses himself through his music. No one else could've written this because no one else can write _your_ music.
If anything, the guy is underrated. His technique and style was so revolutionary and influential, that his ability as a composer can get overlooked. The studio version of this track is a fucking incredible piece of music, and that's very evident in how it came out in the cover by that amazing Japanese band, with the cute and astonishingly talented violinist. Yngwie is one of the absolute all-time greats.
@jorgerodriguez145 By "they" you mean those of us who understand the music and Yngwie's impact. But unfortunately there are numerous music fans and stupid critics/journalistics who don't get and don't have enough depth to feel and grasp his music and playing. Back in the 80s there was this boring mantra that Yngwie couldn't write good songs; this at the time Trilogy came out, which had a ton of great songs! So you're right, he's not underrated by those whose opinions matter, but he is still underrated more in some wider circles.
Jack Pot It’s a ’simple’ economy picked F#m9 arpeggio from the fifth string in the interval order 1 9 3 5 1 9 3 with some vibrato on the end. Actually one of the easier parts of the song and quite enjoyable to play. A great pattern to know for improvising in other genres aswell. Many people struggle with rolling your ring finger for that 4th interval between the D and G string but there are ways around that. Good luck!
This man is next level, I’m truly speechless, his technicality is beyond Vai and his tapping is beyond Van Haley, the dude is channelling something truly divine
One of the many things to marvel about while watching this is how quickly and how often he changes the pickup position from the 1st to the 5th all throughout the piece.
I think this is the best guitar performance of all history. He was soo in the zone, and this recording was lighting in a bottle. Jason Becker is who i king as best guitar player, but this video makes me question that every time, i watch it.
TO EVERYONE CLAIMING YNGWIE'S "JUST SHREDDING": 1. He's doing way more than just shredding, even in this song. Although he's shredding a lot. 2. Just because he's shredding a lot, doesn't mean he can't play anything else! I personally love to shred, but I do love many other styles as well. Take Gary Moore's soloing for example - his guitar is almost litterally crying some times! 3. "I can play way better than him, because I play with emotion and doing better things than just shred"
When it comes to art, there is a level of refinement so high, that a normal person wouldn’t appreciate the skill, they don’t comprehend how good it is. Show this piece to any nonmetal head, they just say that Malmsteem is fast, they might say that this doesn’t even sound good, then show it to a metal head, they might dig it and appreciate the music complexity, but then show it to a guitarist, he will be in awe! He will understand the skill required to play this masterpiece.
Just sounds like elitist shit to me. I'm a musician, and can appreciate the skill and composition of this, but I feel literally nothing listening to him play.
"How can less be more? More is more." - Yngwie Malmsteen
I love the deep stuff
lmao
He's right. The saying should be less is better
Sometimes less is more listen to Bach music on piano and ya'll get it
Irrefutable.
What this song needs is a guitar solo in the middle.
@MasterOfDissonance I second this
Heres the guitar solos 0:00 - 6:08
No, what this needs is a banjo solo in the middle.
Hahaha good one mate
More like middle in the guitar
I really don't get how people can say his playing has no feel or emotion to it, he is PURE passion on the instrument.
Listen to him play blues. Yngwie def has great feel people telling you this don’t understand music. Just because Yngwie plays fast doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any soul in his playing because he def has soul in his playing.
Only people who says that are people who can't play Yngwie's riffs. That's a fact, they're jealous.

Si jaja también influyo a quien es mi guitarrista favorito,Syu de Galneryus.
Influyo también a timmo tolkki ex stratovarius...
Wth do you mean by probably
He's undoubtedly one if the greatest. He just defined the whole neo classical genre like no one ever did before
People don’t often mention his vibrato but it’s just stunning.
it is! out of this world
scaloped fingerboard
I was just about to type that, so true, one of the best I've heard
One of the best vibratos in the world. But still David Gilmour is the king of vibrato.
YJM vibrato, will go down in history!
Mark my words...
Look at his picking hand.. shit blows my mind. Even if you ain't a fan of Yngwie you can't deny that was insanely clean.
I've never seen anything like his right hand. Even Steve Vai said holy crap how does Yngwie have more economical speed picking than anyone else.
I think Kiko Loureiro is from the same school, he also has an economic picking
The picking mechanics are just jaw dropping.
This isn’t even as clean as prime Yngwie but clarity together with the speed is what makes him so good. Others may have gotten to that speed but clarity always suffered. Not with pre car crash Yngwie
It like doesn't move😅
Despite his ego, we can't deny he is a legend.
He can afford that ego…
One needs a huge ego to pull this off. It's a part of his "more is more" attitude and that's what always set Yngwie apart! GOAT
if i was him i would have an ego as well
Like his mentor Blackmore. Many revolutionary musicians had and have an ego. Drummers have Buddy Rich, one of the most talented a-holes ever
He's calmed much more in the recent years. Nowhere near as he was before. He now looks like he really has fun and doesn't really want to win a competition. I've always enjoyed Yngwie's music but now, much more.
This man doesnt even look at the fretboard while playing this!! He's on another level, imagine what is something hard enough for him to pay that he has to look at the fretboard to focus... This is the top man.
Maybe yellow by coldplay
he's clearly lookin at it you dickrider
I feel like Malmsteen didn't ever express himself enough. It's like" Bro, don't be so reserved, play some leads, you have the talent"
lol
Gold
Definitely should explore the space more, really go for it.
His first album had some truly awesome leads, even this track was less shreddy and much more melodically oriented.
lol
Even if you aren't crazy about his style, how can anyone deny that he is an absolute wizard on the guitar?
I don't think anyone is haha

i think i've watched this at least 1000 times. fukin immortal . jesus thats some good shredding, it will never get old.
I come to watch this once a week just to remind my self how bad i am at guitar
Lmao, I thought I was the only one 😝
dont forget that Yngwie is a great comp also
Same 😪😂
me too
Ayyyee it's really all about how good your amp is and how fast you can decide the next pick sweep!
From 4:01 and on I get goosebumps it just sounds so good
Yeah 😆😆
It does, can only describe it as beautiful.
and those pedal bends!
indeed....infakindeed!
melodic neoclassical shredding
how can people say his playing is emotionless? I disagree, he's not just a mindless shredder, his touch is super recognizable and unique, the articulation is never boring, he's not just blindly going up and down scales. His bendings and vibratos are iconic. Don't get me wrong, there are mindless shredders, but I think he's not one of them. His solos aren't mindless shredding, just rock n roll on steroids.
He so is. Just another 80's bach n' roller. They all sounded pretty much the same. He is fast and technically skilled nobody can doubt but there are few adults that want to listen to him for very long.
@Troll Bot People who don't accept criticism of people they admire are soft and must resort to insults to get their point across.
The emotions are in the music.
@@PlanktoniusRex considering that the average iq in the world is 105, your comment doesn't make these "few adults" look like inferiors, but the opposite to that...
@PriestOfTheUnholy ikr, they should hear his entire first album, not a bad song on it, also 'Forever is a Long Time', and many more
No human can beat this guy in this era..
That guitar was white when he started practicing
Underrated
Finally, someone who understands that gods had to practice and that they weren't just handed the ability to perform.
@@rotisseueryu but im sure yngwie is one of a kind musician, even some people takes practice like he does they cant be malmsteen, there are some people born talented
@@debuhokontra2006 bullshit talent is nothing without hardwork
Europe was white until it started practicing Liberalism.
Этот парень просто шедевр, я первый услышал его в 1998 году. такие рождаются великие музыканты раз 1000 лет. Суппер, дай бог его хранит.
3:39 one of my favorite licks ever! 🔥
That's a pedal point riff, it's super common on piano and in classical music in general ruclips.net/video/sW3Guqcy6b0/видео.html
Very cool!
@Qué Mira Sapo 2:20 got my goat so hard.
Black star lick
This Is probably my favorite performance of this Song. Much respect to this man, immense Guitar player! The more I watch him playing the more I want to pick my guitar!
Definately!
I get what people mean when they say "Malmsteen doesn't play with feel", but from what I hear and see. Malmsteen has feel, from the way he utilizes vibrato on the notes he plays, and the faces he makes when he bends. As well as the presence and movements he has on stage really connects with me. Note that this is also coming from me, a guy who has played and listen to almost everyhthing from blues,glam metal,classic rock,funk and more.
It's not that malmsteen doesn't have feel but the feel is very rare most of his solos are just note density for people who aren't interested in becoming shred gods,this being a rare exception with an insane amount of feel in a lot of parts. If you see him playing the "blues" you'll se what I mean, he plays the blues scale at 300 BPM.no point in that. But he is exceptional technically,no doubt.
Freaking incredible! This man's talent is truly a gift from God.

He look like Zeus with guitar
its actually a result of hard work but sure discredit all of this mans acheivements in favor of your imaginary friend
@@ianDee I was about to say the same exact thing
It’s the year 2020 and Yngwie J Malmsteen remains and will forever be number one in my book.
As A Swede I totally agree
You forgot about Randy Rhoads
Actually said in his book.
@Orpheas Malliamanis No they arent the same thing. A book has letters our eyes dont have letters but they can see letters. Letters that are meant to be seen from our eyes to the book. The letters are the grain of the wind with the eyes we have in our heads. What you say?
This thread gave me corona.
You don’t have to be an actual fan of this man to know that he is a genius in every sense of the word. Great player! 🇬🇧
I've watched this video so many times and it still gives me goosebumps, every note is pure Awesomeness. And what I love is its all improvised on the fly, Yngwie you are the master.
Cuczcucczcuxuxucuc
This performance is just amazingly incredible!!! So clear, so incredibly shreddingly awesome!!!
No...he is not even a human ..he is a piece of art himself ...
The world should bow down before HIM ...he is more than a GOD
This clip is all kinds of brutal. incredible playing, tone is superb, his timing is so tight. Everything was happening in this session
Somebody: you can't possibly squeeze any more notes into "far beyond the sun"
Malmsteen: hold my Ferrari's keys
Right from Michael Angelo Batio, heh?)
@@the_doomcliff "the keys of the lamborghini" is what he says
Well done Ferreira
Doesn't matter where you go on youtube, someone always puts up a lame "Hold my..." comment.
and they steal the Ferrari :v
99.9% of the dislikes are from guitar players that can't do this, I don't care what they say their reason is. I guarantee you that if the wanna' bees could do this or do Michael's stuff, they'd do it. And don't tell me that you wouldn't. Is he a bit arrogant? So what! You have to spend endless hours with an instrument to achieve the above. I admire anyone that can sit with a guitar that long and do that sort of playing. I didn't have that sort of desire, so I was a mediocre guitarist my whole life. He's brilliant.
Every good guitar player I ever knew was cocky. If a guy is not you probably don't want to play with him.
I read metalcore instead of mediocre and the ideea is that the statement sill made sense lmao
Man, 99.9% of the guitar players can't do this.
I started with blues, now i play van halen. From a real guitar player, this guy is a sub par talent
Or maybe they’re from people who genuinely don’t like this style of music. Dislike =/=
Jealousy or envy. I can admire the dude’s technique, but I find the music quite distasteful. He plays something legitimately melodically interesting, then ruins it by playing as fast as he can to transition to his next lick. This repeats for 6 minutes. Sorry, not my cup of tea.
No matter how many times I watch this, it blows my mind. His singing vibrato is to die for. He's using low output single coils (stacked to cancel out hum and noise.) with not much distortion. It's in his hands.
yeah me too. it gives liberation the supporting effects making it heard much clearly from the roots.( the sensation of his fingers).
He actually uses a ton of gain.. his overdrive pedal is with level and gain in 10. but still, it's obviously in his hands.
고등학교 시절 나의 최고의 기타리스트였는데 감회가 새롭네요.
Yngwie knows how to make a guitar sing!
If only all people can comprehend fast music. Every note matters. That part from 4:00 to 4:24 is something big musicians don't manage to write in a whole career. Look up what guitar stars say about Yngwie.
Damn yngwie just shredded a whole new shredding generation .hail to the king yngwie mslmsteen
5:19 to 5:22. I can surely play that.
😅
God of Guitar 😮🤟
Najajajajaja
LMAO
Hahahahaha... Me too.
I have watched many covers of this and no one quite plays it with the expression, vibrato, and tone of Yngwie. A true guitar virtuoso!
no matter what people say about this guy, still no one can play like him
Elen Naa you should check out Michael Romeo
@@scoobyroo5000 MR alternate picks and sweeps more cleanly but Yngwie bends better and has much better phrasing. Completely different players. MR is a robot compared to Yngwie.
@@Cheximus exactly as you say.
@@bautistagarais488 Plus MR's tone leaves quite a bit to be desired IMHO. A great technical player, for sure, but not organic sounding. Yeah, 'robot'-like as Cheximus aptly put it...
Yep jason becker can play better
3:37 Yngwie forgot the pickups switcher was already on the top 😂
No, he actually triggered a special mode built into all Fender guitars that can only be unlocked by Yngwie Malmsteen.
@@malicant123 🤣
The only mistake he makes!
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank for making me laugh. I feel like shit. I seen Yngwie Malmsteen play in October of 2003 G3 show. It was funny seeing him kick picks in the crowd. And, that was Yngwie Elvis period.
this guy has become a rock god and he deserves the title regardless of all the haters he has....RESPECT!
Que exactitud tiene! Uno de mis guitarrista preferidos de todo mí vida! De Richie Blackmore salte a escucharlo en ek año 82, agradezco al.unverso por escucharlo!
Still unbelievable after all these years.
I still can't believe it too
Been listening to Malmsteen since I was a teen in the eighties and I still have to pick up my jaw from the floor now.
saw him open for Iron Maiden pn Powerslave, he played Eruption, and Randy and everything like it was practice
Better then the original ! When he plays with discipline he is incredible
Yes. This is your real power. But, unfortunelly, Malmsteen seems lazy sometimes... he has a little complex personality. If always uses that hidden musical forces he'll more fans that has today.
When he is not drunk it´s amazing
He's 1.90 tall. That's 6'3 for you americans. Not small at all.
globalmind43 than
This guy really just shredded at the speed of light for almost 6 mins straight...he really took me far beyond the sun
he is faster than the speed of light
Never thought I would cry to a Yngwie Malmsteen solo. People who say no soul, should come back and hear it when you get unwarranted hate from the world. The feelings of hatred, anger, humiliation, and pain, this solo is a mix of all of it
Couldn't help but smile when watching this. I admire artists who dedicate themselves to their craft to this degree. Absolute mastery.
Yes! I totally agree.
5:19 to 5:22 the part I can play ...
Johann lol
ha!! brilliant comment!!
hahahaahaha
No one gives a shit
Johann don’t worry, I’ll give you my 💩 fuck ^^^ this dude^^^
Master of HIS craft.. That's why there's only one like him and he changed the guitar soundscape forever.
Well said... Cheers!
I remember my dad had a copy of this video and I would watch it over and over as a kid. My dad got me into playing guitar at thst time and he put this video in the TV and was just like "check this out."
Producer: "Less is more, Malmsteen"
Malmsteen: "what do you mean?"
Malmsteem alternative answer : "I don't wear makeup bro"
More is more. Yngwie plays more notes in one song than most guitar players in whole life :D
John Petrucci: Hold my beer!
@@EvilDragon666 Yngwie Malmsteen: Hold my Petrucci.
Petrucci is nothing compared to malmsteen. Compare petrucci to satriani or vai
@@ct1216 malmssteen only compare with michael romeo
We should all wish to know ourselves as well as Yngwie knows and expresses himself through his music. No one else could've written this because no one else can write _your_ music.
If anything, the guy is underrated. His technique and style was so revolutionary and influential, that his ability as a composer can get overlooked. The studio version of this track is a fucking incredible piece of music, and that's very evident in how it came out in the cover by that amazing Japanese band, with the cute and astonishingly talented violinist. Yngwie is one of the absolute all-time greats.
Underrated? What are you talking about. They all know he Is the GOAT.
@jorgerodriguez145 By "they" you mean those of us who understand the music and Yngwie's impact. But unfortunately there are numerous music fans and stupid critics/journalistics who don't get and don't have enough depth to feel and grasp his music and playing. Back in the 80s there was this boring mantra that Yngwie couldn't write good songs; this at the time Trilogy came out, which had a ton of great songs! So you're right, he's not underrated by those whose opinions matter, but he is still underrated more in some wider circles.
this is one of the better versions Ive heard him play....fantastic !
O que mais me impressiona é que sua mão direita quase nem se mexe. Esses vibratos e bends beirão a perfeição!
2:20 u can't tell me this isn't one of the nuttiest little lick/riffs ever
Jack Pot It’s a ’simple’ economy picked F#m9 arpeggio from the fifth string in the interval order 1 9 3 5 1 9 3 with some vibrato on the end. Actually one of the easier parts of the song and quite enjoyable to play. A great pattern to know for improvising in other genres aswell. Many people struggle with rolling your ring finger for that 4th interval between the D and G string but there are ways around that. Good luck!
The first time I saw this, I missed where he switched pickups and thought, "why did his tone change?"
@Qué Mira Sapo It could've been in Rime of the ancient mariner
Legendary melodies and riffs.
Also to mention how versatile the form factor of Stratocaster is for the wide range of music.
This man is next level, I’m truly speechless, his technicality is beyond Vai and his tapping is beyond Van Haley, the dude is channelling something truly divine
i think you forgot jason becker that wrote song at 16 and was already at his lvl when he was 16
@@SwitchMusicS7U bro you cant compare a guitar god with malmsteen
Yes van Henley sucks
Who is a guitar god becker ? 😂😂😂😂😂 I used to fight over this 20 years ago with my friend. Malmsteen still rocls becker is on wheelchair.
@@ct1216 is thah so
One of the many things to marvel about while watching this is how quickly and how often he changes the pickup position from the 1st to the 5th all throughout the piece.

It is his best performance of that song that I have seen. Just when you think a song already has all the notes that exist, he finds more : )

Yeahh bb thats what I've waiting for
"Man listens to Yngwie shred on guitar. Instantly regrets it".
Paul Gilbert : Am i joke to u?
What I appreciate about this video is that he wasn't focused on nailing it, he was just jamming with glee.
His name is and will always be in the history of music, a source of inspiration for many included me,
音だけでなくこう映像で実際の演奏を見るとより興奮＆感動します かっこいい！
Damn, this is better than the studio version.
This kinda is a studio version.

I think he meant original version.
RIGHT?!?!
Malmsteen recorded the original in his 20s, he's probably even better nowadays

I think this is the best guitar performance of all history. He was soo in the zone, and this recording was lighting in a bottle. Jason Becker is who i king as best guitar player, but this video makes me question that every time, i watch it.
his teeth know how to play guitar better than me
😭😭😭😭😭
TO EVERYONE CLAIMING YNGWIE'S "JUST SHREDDING":
1. He's doing way more than just shredding, even in this song. Although he's shredding a lot.
2. Just because he's shredding a lot, doesn't mean he can't play anything else! I personally love to shred, but I do love many other styles as well. Take Gary Moore's soloing for example - his guitar is almost litterally crying some times!
3. "I can play way better than him, because I play with emotion and doing better things than just shred"
@George Lynch He said 'end of conversation'! This conversation has ended!
When it comes to art, there is a level of refinement so high, that a normal person wouldn’t appreciate the skill, they don’t comprehend how good it is. Show this piece to any nonmetal head, they just say that Malmsteem is fast, they might say that this doesn’t even sound good, then show it to a metal head, they might dig it and appreciate the music complexity, but then show it to a guitarist, he will be in awe! He will understand the skill required to play this masterpiece.
Can't be said better
Same can be said about Cacophony
and Racer X to an extent
I don't like this solo, he is boring
Just sounds like elitist shit to me. I'm a musician, and can appreciate the skill and composition of this, but I feel literally nothing listening to him play.
@@Ash_Hudson I'm a guitarist, and feel passion from this piece.
I come back to this video from time to time to remind myself I'll never be this good....
