    I love how Dave Murray and Adrian Smith were not influenced ONE bit by any other guitarists there and played exactly the same way that they do on Iron Maiden records. Their slow, harmony parts really stood out from everyone else needlessly shredding just for the sake of it. Yngwie did what he naturally does so it never ever sounds forced.

      Thing is, there's nothing wrong with Eddie's solo in "We're Stars". It's well constructed and melodic. No, he doesn't burn like the other guys, but he was never that kind of player. At least it wasn't Jay Jay French.

    Fun fact, Yngwie mentioned this at one of his " masterclasses" ( lol, hilarious, just him ripping) that so many of these guys were taking forever to lay down solos for the Stars session. He said Lynch took what seemed like hours to cut a lead to which he said " Guys..it's 3 bars. It isn't rocket science" You hear that in Yngwie's solo. It's brilliant. Gets the job done and he's out. He was that good.

      Exactly. He never acts like he was a over confident, know it all, had it together from day one guy. My favorite story he recounted was when I got contacted to play with Dokken. I believe they(Dokken) were either already in Germany or headed there. George stated "I didn't even have a case for my guitar at the time. I just wrapped it in a towel...". That was me too. No case for my guitar. It was too much money and didn't make me sound any better/worse. Funny what seems like rational thought when you're a young person.

    You pointed out the exact thing I was going to comment on. If you just listen to that track, you can instantly tell George Lynch. He shines stylistically above all of them in a lot of ways.
    I am a huge Yngwie fan, so I obviously instantly recognize his sound. However, I didn’t really see him shining so brightly on this particular recording. Obviously he was majorly impacted by his car accident so I would never want to talk poorly of an artist that survived something like that. But I will add his early work was probably some of the most inspiring Guitar work. It was , VanHalen, Lynch, and Malmsteen for me. Later it was all the others (Gilbert, Becker, Moore etc..) but those were always my top three. So just letting you know George, you made the cut as far as I’m concerned.

  • @nicholasthill7151
    @nicholasthill7151 4 дня назад +1

    It's all about personal preference as to what solo one enjoys. But Yngwie had made the biggest impact since Eddie at that time.
    Yngwie also ignited a renewed interest in classical music among young people as well. I remember going to to the local Sound Warehouse and seeing other long hairs hanging out in their separate classical department. The department had its own room.
    One of the guys working in there was blown away how all these young men suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It started about 1985, about two years before I moved into the neighborhood.
    He later learned a lot of it had to do with Yngwie. They went from barely selling any Paganini to barely being able to keep any in stock. Up until that point, only violinists were buying the 24 Caprices. He actually got excited when I (another long hair) asked for some Scarlatti. But I had been raised on the stuff. Yngwie allowed me to come out of my classical nerd closet and look cool.
    Most of the guys back then were digging into Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and, of course, Paganini.
    The guys on Shrapnel (Friedman, Becker, Moore, Gilbert, MacAlpine and the like) kept the young musicians coming in. It began to die down in the early 90s. Which was odd because there was a resurgence of classical music sales in general not long after that. It's odd how that worked out.
    I became a guitar tech not long after this. Yngwie's impact goes far deeper than scales, sweeping and arpeggios. A lot of guys used their classical interest as the gateway into jazz when neo-classical became pretty common. It was cool seeing this evolution.

  • @RobertWeingher
    @RobertWeingher 18 дней назад +8

    I've said it already in the past in some of my comments about Hear N Aid, there were there a lot of great guitar players but when Yngwie entered with his first guitar solo everyone could feel that it was something else, at that time Yngwie was totally better than everyone else and i say it with maximum respect to all the other guitar players, the song itself is nothing more than a generic Dio song, it's the part of the guitar solos that is the highlight of the song with Yngwie Malmsteen guitar solos sections has been the best, thanks for sharing.

      I can’t remember if it’s the second, I believe his third part, where there’s the slow chugging buildup (with lynch possibly) and then Yngwie pulls that wicked sweeping pick scale then some blazing notes after to round it off…that right there just said everything I needed to hear first time I listened to the track. Every single one of those guitarists are incredibly talented, but yngwie was in an entirely different league. I honestly believe it had to do with his classical upbringing and approach with Paganini as his hero, etc

      He was featured in the guitar magazines back in the day along with some guitar lessons. His material was a bit daunting indeed, with long stretches, etc.
      But the one thing that I've always liked about his playing is his phrasing, it's out of this world! The first Dokken song I ever heard was _Till The Living End_ and the lead guitar was fantastic, going over the chord changes, etc. as if he were telling a story. And then he got even better; on _Back for the Attack_ he kicked it up a notch. That phrasing, the vibrato, the tone... he had established his place among the greats!

      While that is true about Yngwie, let's not forget our music history here. Ritchie Blackmore, Uli John Roth, Michael Schenker and Randy Rhoads were using Minor-Key Modes, and Classical themes long before Yngwie was on the radio doing "Black Star".

You don’t even have to know names or who’s playing, even Hellen Keller could tell you she hears the difference in skill level.

    I did heaps of gigs over 30 years or so, mostly at pubs and clubs. I was a massive choker when it counted, such as at auditions and when people came to see me play. It's the main reason I never got beyond playing in coverbands, and probably why I eventually quit (because I never got anywhere, the gigs were getting progressively shittier as I got older). After bad weekend gigs when I was young, which was most, I used to drive home pissed off, then not start practicing again until the following Tuesday or Wednesday.
    I once did a short demo for a guitar shop at a music expo with hundreds of fret-watchers. I totally went to water, and all I could do was grip the neck very tightly and play bad pentatonic scales. I after one short jam, I shook my head at the other guys on stage, put the guitar down and took off. I ran to my car, drove home, and didn't touch my guitars for several days.
    If I knew what beta-blockers were when I was young, I would've taken them. I started drinking at gigs, and I don't like drinking that much. I even got half-pissed once for an audition. There's a fine line between drinking enough to calm bad nerves, and drinking so much that it impairs your playing; plus you've gotta drive home after the gig. Anyway, boo hoo, hey? Talk about first world problems. 😄 Hee hee. 😆👍
    I read an article about George many years ago, in which he mentioned sometimes being nervous on stage and having his fingers turning to cement. I found this reassuring and relatable at the time.

    George - you were clearly George Lynch and that speaks volumes about who you are.

Everyone else, and I mean everyone else was just trying to be in the timeframe playing what fit the bill - which was a joke - make no mistake about it - Yngwie, Lynch and Brad Gillis were the ONLY one who sounded like themselves - that is the stark reality - either like it or learn to live with it….

  • @valuedhumanoid6574

    THIS is the guy who made me pick up a guitar. Not Eddie, not Page, not Clapton or Hendrix, but Lynch. I was 15 and Tooth & Nail was just released. I was hooked. Not only his skill and talent, but the writing. Mixing the fast runs with slow, single note phrases really generates that ebb and flow that we all crave (well, some of us) The solo on Lightning Strikes Again is one of my all time faves of ANY guitarist. Yes, Malmsteen was the Master of the Shred back then in a different way than Eddie. No one even heard of Neo-classical then and he was at the front of the mainstream pack. Although some would argue Uli Jon Roth was ahead of him in that genre. Listen to the Scorpions track Sails of Charon and you'll see why. Anyways, Lynch will always be in my wheelhouse with some of the sound tracks of my high school years. All great memories.

The tone of Buck was a breath of fresh air on that. Vivian s solo and Craig goldy s solo, while not My favorites, i always remember them note by note. Brad s solos on the rehearsals were better than the ones that made into the song. First time i saw that vid, as a 16 guitar freak, it floored me. Now i think that track could have counted Michael Schenker s contribution on it. And You ve gotten the ultimate guitar fest on that guaranteed.
