- Sharing a view thoughts and observations on my favorite guitar player. This is not a forensic breakdown but more of an anecdotal overview. If you want to get straight to the guitar playing that happens at the 20 minute mark. Please comment, like, or subscribe. Thanks for watching.
First heard Yngwie in 1984 when I bought Rising Force on cassette summer of 1984. I was already hooked on shred when I heard Van Halen in 1978. Malmsteen took guitar to the next level and all the Shrapnel artists that followed were mere imitators. One of my favorite pieces on Rising Force is Icarus' Dream Suite Op. 4. If I'm not mistaken the song was written for his then cat whom he called Moje at the time in 1983. Love the Baroque mixed with a touch of Hirajōshi Japanese scales. Such a beautifully dark and haunting piece. My second best song on the album is still Now Your Ships Are Burned. Classic!
Yngwie is The Best Guitar Player that ever lived. I saw him together with Steve Vai & Joe Satriani all 3 amazing, but Yngwie was from different planet. His right & left hand is unbelievable, nobody plays with such a deep soul & emotions upfront and on the top of it in blazing speed. Compositions & harmonies are from different world. Yes i like his tone better prior SD Fury but regardless, his playing is amazing experience, he influenced almost everybody. Thank you.
Awesomeness Yngwie was and is my favorite guitarist that got me playing. Great video you nailed it!!
I've seen Yngwie 6 times and met him once at a record signing. I have every recording he ever did with every band he played in ...from Steeler to Alcatrazz and beyond. Through the 80's and 90's there wasn't a guitarist anywhere that was better than he was....He plays with immense passion and feeling and many people that critiqued him were and still are envious. He's not cocky....he has great confidence and people always mistake the two.Sure today you have 7 year olds playing his riffs, runs, and solos....and every other guitarist out there in one way or another incorporate him in their playing.....However he's the creator of all of it.....Nobody back then was playing that fast and that clean where you could literally hear every single note. He's my favorite guitarist even today and I was first introduced to him back in 1983 He's a prolific guitarist and is the forefather of Neo-Classical guitar...many years ago when he played with Japanese Orchestra it was incredible to watch him effortlessly play with such incredible and insatiable vibrato and flow....He's truly the Maestro!
Great post Ken. Glad to see you back!!!
Ken Hoey excellent comment. Yngwie is the man. By the way are you related to Gary? :)
No....I'm not related to another great guitarist Gary Hoey...However I'm a fan of his too!
Goddamn that is a good post Ken.
Cool post. What album was he promoting at the in-store you met him at?
You need to do more vids Johnny. You have the best channel on youtube. Tone and shredding are amazing.
I remember being super impressed with Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads and Viv Campbell.......but then when i heard Yngwie on the Steeler album and then his Rising Force debut i was literally floored by what i heard. The "weird" scales, the intense speed and his overall sound was like something from another planet. Yngwie's first four albums still give me goose bumps to this very day.
Awesome video! Johnny, I am impressed by your assessment of Yngwie. I have seen him 8 times live (twice in 1984, twice in 1985, once in 2001, once in 2013, once in 2017 and just the other day: 12/3/18). I think his playing is as good as its ever been. The only thing I can give the critics is this: Yngwie can now (as he himself says) play rings around what he used to be able to do circa 1983-1989...and sometimes he loses the restraint he once showed BECAUSE his technique has become even more monstrously good!
P.S. I met him in 1985 with his old manager Andy Trueman and old girlfriend Greta.
Thank you so much for the comment. I agree that his playing is as good as ever. Thank you for watching!!!!!!
I am so glad your back with a full shred attitude....... awesome!
Thank you sir!
Great channel I came for the katana video & seen this & subscribe...love yngwie...btw your playing is phenomenal!!!
Johnny and PixxyLixx on the same day! I knew this was gonna be a good weekend!!
Nice playing.! Love your passion for the instrument.
Yngwie is also my number one, he is almost god like in my eyes. I first heard him when I got Guitar Player magazine back in the 80's, there was a Flexi disc on the front cover, it was Black Star, my guitar teacher and I sat there and listened to it open mouthed. From that moment on I was absolutely hooked, totally mesmerised by him, he is everything that I would love to be, with his abilities etc etc. Oh and by the way, you really shouldn't knock yourself or your abilities, you are an amazing guitarist. Love your channel.

love you! your playlist has opened up a new world for me. Thanx . keep playing n keep doing what u do.your very inspiring to me. As far as engwie sweeping, man i cant tell. the love is blue solos look like sweeping. but i still can't tell.
Awesome As Always Johnny Love ALL The Case Studies, where are you going from here.....
Why aren't you a STAR! Don't know you but dude... Much Respect...
He's respected, sometimes that's better than being a star.
@@bhaddock9277 Well said.
Thank you for such a great video. Love your playing. You just keep getting better Sir! I hope you can do a part two with some licks and tips. Fingers crossed here in New Jersey USA.
Keep rocking!!
John (71 year young disabled Rocker)
Johnny - I agree with everything you stated, I couldn't have said it better myself. Yngwie is such a legend. Cheers!
Great analysis of Yngwie. Agree with everything you say here.
Regarding his technique, for anyone interested to dive deeper, check out Troy Grady. I bought the Volcano package and it really clicked when I went into that. I still can't play at yngwies speed and accuracy but I've gotten so much closer. Really fun to play his stuff when you understand the downward pickslant thing and to only change strings on an upstroke. An eye opener for sure...
Another spectacular Case Study!! Really enjoyed your commentary!! Your playing is so amazing, it doesn’t get boring when I watch, just keeps burning with passion!! Worth the wait!! Can’t wait for the next one!!!
Yngwie is the most emotive metal guitarist I can think of. what he does isn’t for everyone, but if you really invest in listening to his music and you adjust to his style and realize he’s improvising a good amount of the time, it’s awesome. Hendrix, Eddie, Yngwie, SRV, Holdsworth. That’s it. Those are the guys.
Great vid. Good to see ya again dude
Is that a real YJM guitar or the one made in China
I remember when I heard the first Van Halen album I was impressed with Eddie Van Halen's guitar progress and then I heard Blizzard of Ozz and I started reading about Randy how he loved to teach and how he inspired me to actually figure out why things sounded the way they sounded on guitar and went into Theory deeper
then Randy passed away and then all we had was Eddie Van Halen
and then Yngwie came out with Alcatraz and then we did some more research among my friends and then we found the Steeler album and that's when shredding took off the way we have it today.
That's what makes me think that after Randy and Yngwie came out people really got into the guitar Theory wise and that type of guitar playing spawn the whole Legion of Theory smart guitar players heavy metal music owes a lot to Randy and Yngwie..
Yngwie plays with ton of emotion when he places his own style of guitar and when he plays Blues he understands and knows Blues he just chose to go after the Avenue of classical harmonic minor phrygian and such
Great post my friend. I think you nailed it. I appreciate you saying that Yngwie plays with a "ton of emotion". If anyone says otherwise, they just aren't listening. Eddie, Randy, and Yngwie are the giants along with Hendrix for rock guitar. I would even say Chuck Barry. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. It means a ton.
@M 40 no one is better than anyone when it really comes down to it. Stevie Ray was sooo heavily influenced by Jimmy Hendrix, Eddie has blatant simple Chuck Berry riffs that we all fall back on here and that would be including YJM, Vai and everyone mentioned here. There is something that everyone seems to be missing and that is composition of a song, instead we are all very focused on simply shredding and I am just as guilty of the need for speed as anyone else. But my only problem with you M40, is simplifying people that are not. We can have a idea but we really don't know these people, even if we met them a few times. What I do know is that each of the people mentioned here are extremely accomplished song writers first and evolved guitar playing in to what they know in there own way. So many different walks of life for each of them and if any one of them could talk of the others it would be of credit and accomplishment
@M 40 you mentioned "Yngwie, Steve Vai and Stevie Ray Vaughn are crazy good and better than the pioneers in actual technical skills", the pioneers you mentioned are Chuck, Jimi and Eddie, no misunderstanding, just going off what you wrote. These were all ground breaking guitar players/song writers in each of their own eras and deserve no less and we're at the top of their games at those times. Eddie on the other hand, by far the most influential of any guitar player ever and Jimi probably being second, Eddie is technically just as superior as any one on any level, Yngwie would agree
@M 40 Chuck, Jimi and especially Eddie had and still do have the most heavily influential guitar/songwriting influence of any Western guitar centric music ever and would be very hard to not acknowledge or not accept. These guys alone changed guitar more not just State side but globally then YJM, Vai or SRV.
@@superzombie6024 Rock isn't "western centric" music at all though.
Great to see you back, love your chanel, content and playing!
Love the video man, do more case studies!
Love your commentary and you are one hell of a guitar player as well!
Thank you!
Thanks For this excellent video on one of the greatest shredders of all-time! Some other guitarists that you should check out are: Michael Angelo Batio, Satchel(Steel Panther) and Dan Mumm. Each one of them are outstanding in their own right.
Great, Great clip. Enjoyed this on Yngwie. I remember first seeing a calendar poster of him in Guitar for the Practicing Musican, in early 85/late 84,,and im like , who is this? Around same month, another guitar mag had the plastic flimsy record of Black Star w/ tab. I went out to buy Rising Force right away. Never heard nothing like it. Finally saw him live in a club in Germany in 88. Those were the days. Glad to see he has a new cd out this month!
I purchased two copies of the "Limited Edition" Blue Lightning CD. He is absolutely murdering it.
Love your content. Greetings GS from Manchester UK 😁
Love the intro bro. Great video. Awesome playing :-)
Hey Johnny I'm kind of a anonymous user of RUclips, I'm 19 years old and I know people that are my age that listen to popular music that you probably can't understand the lyrics to (I can't either) Man I don't know what you're talking about when you say you butcher some riffs man, like man I never got the chance to see the people you look up to, I never had a chance to see these guys. I never got to be a part of that movement but man let me tell you, watching you play these songs like you do makes me feel good cause I feel like I get to see their work through you man. Like I watched some of your videos man and you rock. You rock, like I wish I could do that on guitar, I can barely do ACDC songs right now you know and I'm out of school so I've got all this time to hone my skills and I just wanna say man I appreciate these videos because it's gonna keep me moving forward man I'm telling you these videos of you playing those legendary songs, there's times to be humble and times not to be and when you play you are great because here I am 19 years old learning easy ACDC songs just to learn at least something anything and here you are being older and gone through injuries and you're still playing and also I didn't even give Yngwie Malmsteen a chance until 5 mins ago right after I watched you play and just know man you're a lot better than me but I'm gonna learn as much as I can and part of it is thanks to you and I know I'm not the only weird kid who doesn't like the popular music that's inspired by these videos and shaped by these videos. Thanks man. These videos are what pushes me man, you're an inspiration
I cannot thank you enough for your kind words. Thank you for taking the time to watch but moreover thank you for your comment. BTW, when I got out of high school, that is when I went after it. For two to five years. Thank you so very much for watching. I really appreciate it.
I was at the same show at Mercury Ballroom! Best experience of my life getting to see my hero in my hometown.
Great show my local brother!
Great tone for shredding, enjoyed, thanks.
Good episode John. Your comments on picking style at about 13:35. The picking style Eddie uses is sometimes called "Twitch". Eddie does it with an open hand/splayed finger
posture. Kinda like Tony MacAlpine's practice of holding the pick thumb and middle finger style and using splayed out fingers as a sort of counter balance. Randy can be seen using
this "twitch" style on occasion. I think Yngwie has developed a hybrid of this using the slight thumb flex you mentioned and a cupped hand posture instead of splayed out fingers.
He's learned and utilizes constantly instead of occasionally like the others I mentioned in such a tight controlled manner that you don't notice what he's doing because he's so smooth
with it. Just an observation. Maybe I'm wrong but that appears to be his right hand style - elbow wrapped around the guitar more, forearm more aligned withe the strings and neck like
Steve Howe and motion is more wrist than elbow flex.
He's back
Great to see you and the yngwie!
@Johnny Anderson, I realized last night I was at the same GenerationAxe show with you in Nashville! Meet and greet and I was in the front row of folding chairs! I have a short phone vid of Zakk in the crowd and I saw you in my video! I snapped a screen shot for you😄. I love your videos. Keep it up 👍👍
Dude, that is awesome. Please send to fretterjohn@yahoo.com. Thanks for watching, it is very much appreciated.
Hello Johnny a. It’s been way too long love your vid‘s huge fan thumbs up. Yes when I comes to MalmSteen it took me a couple years when I really got into guitar to enjoy him, and bought all his albums and listen to all his songs. After I did that I realized what was really going on became a huge fan, and I think that’s what a lot of people don’t understand thank you.
I felt the exact same way when first hearing Yngwie! It was when he was with Steeler and then Alcatrazz. The stuff he did with Alcatrazz was just jaw dropping! When the "Rising Force" album came out the heavens definitely opened up.... That album had a big influence on me. Great video by the way!
Great stuff man !!! Love it !!! You're playing is super ! So nice to hear some real guitar freaks out there...:) Peace !
Dude! I saw Yngwie in Louisville. I have seen him once less than you. We may have been to the same gig. Dig your channel and excellent playing. Looking forward to seeing some more. Peace
Great video.My holy crap moment was Malmsteen's intro to hot on your heels( steeler days)...
The first Yngwie track I heard was Black Star on a floppy mini vinyl in Guitar Player magazine. A buddy had mentioned him to me and played a lick or two about a month earlier than hearing the track. The style and tone resonated with me. I think YJM is a great guitar player.
At last I've found someone who loves the Swedish one's as much as myself! Really like your videos 👍
There are slowed down vids of his right hand that shows him definitely sweeping...it's Steve Morse who alt picks arpeggios
i have to agree (I was there... I'm 44), YJM completely created shred and, IMO, threw music theory in our faces even before the mighty Joe Satriani. Another great perspective... you really can't understand his impact unless you were there - there was NO ONE doing this the way he did it.
That part you plagued at 0.37 is SICK.
I have a malmsteen strat too I love it
More Yngwie ., because more is more!
Well said.
I liked your comment regarding Vivian Campbell, latest great player at the time (83- early 84), the came Yngwie... Matthias Jabs was on fire in 1983-84, too. But dammit, The Maestro blew it all wide open!!
My personal favorite is probably Paul Gilbert. The guy is a freakish player, in the best way.
But yeah, again, I was on the Vivian fan club wagon with ya!
The Scorpions guitarists and Vivian Campbell, top notch. Vivian's playing on the Dio stuff was exactly right for the band yet also brought real musicality to the solos
It was such a great era to be a guitar player...You had Matthias Jabs, Vivian Campbell, Eddie, Jake, Randy...but Yngwie just took it to another level, and he did it with fire and one of the greatest vibtratos that you will ever hear. He is my favorite guitarist.
Great video, couldn't agree with you more. I found Yngwie in 83, that guitar player interview. That was it for me, Van Halen was no longer my hero. I did EVERYTHING I could to play like Yngwie, and that meant old school playing the vinyl solos over n over cause thats all we had back then. This actually developed my slant picking technique cause I figured out the diminished arpeggio runs in too young to die too drunk live a different way.
The book scales n modes in the beginning, the Harmonic minor patterns were the road map to develop my technique, and made the Yngwie technique come so much easier for me.
Glad there is a forum supporting Yngwie. Tired of hearing "wanna be" guitar hacks ripping on him. Thanks for the show.
bill leibold I seen this comment and read it before your name. And I was like “that’s definitely something dad would say”. And here you are. Glad you finally figured out how to comment and use internet. Tard.
I need to try a scalloped fret board!
yngwie was something else, when his first album came out i was blown away. i learned every song, struggled with his 2nd album and couldn't keep up with anything after that beside a few bits and pieces.
Please do a part 2!
The missing link everyone forgets between Jimi and Eddie was Blackmore
I totally agree!!!
You have killer chops
more please mr. anderson
More coming soon. Thank you very much for watching.
u forced me to look up Uli Jon Roth...i am not dissapoint.
Roth seems to have been an influence on Yngwie to some degree.
sorry if you've been asked 1000 times, do your fingers catch on the frets on scalloped board when shredding?
Not at all. I found the transition to scalloped necks to be pretty painless and easy to adjust to. Thank you for watching!
YNGWIE is the PINNACLE 🎼🎶🎶
"Yngwie is the man!"
You should do a John Sykes video.
How to rise speed like u? What is ur method, please make videos about it
And 1 thing more? I can't make vibrato so good upside. But when i go vibrato downside it is good, is that critical? How to fix that ?
great video
I first herd him with steeler when they released their debut album on shrapnel records
His influence is far greater than he gets credit for. Sure, he looks like a fool, but those albums before the accident are magic.
I can understand you saying that Vivian Campbell was your favorite player back in the day, just wondering what you thought of John Sykes?
Sykes was amazing. Loved the artificial harmonics. Great player. Love Vivian, Jake, Randy..they all brought something to the table.
Very true!
For sure!!
I am a huge Yngwie Malmsteen fan. But I think that Jason Becker who was obviously inspired by Yngwie took it a notch higher. I really just wanted to turn you onto Jason if you aren't already aware of him. If not listen to Altitudes by Jason Becker it will blow your mind it starts out slow and then gets ridiculously fast but to me it's the best guitar instrumental ever written.
I first heard Malmsteem in 84' on MTV video 'I'll see the light tonight', greatest prodigy since Hendrix and Eddie,
but his song writing keeps him from being as great as he could be, if he played for Europe after Norum left it would have been great
Loved Yngwie, became obsessed w/ him like a lot of others. Then, at 16 (1986) our drummer, who was a Berkley student, introduced me to Al Dimeola, and most especially, his TIMING. I learned not to blow my wad every solo, every fill, etc. But EVERYONE was trying to play like Yngwie. The guy I respect most from the 80's? Warren Dimartini. When everyone else was going fast, he started playing deeper in the pocket. I wish I had focused more on song writing. How many songs has Yngwie written that stood the test of time? None...unless you're just playing for other musicians, songs are what it's a/b, right?
Far beyond the Sun is relatively iconic as it is compared to Eruption. Black Star is nice. I am a Viking is killer as well as Disciples of Hell. Warren is awesome.
@@johnnyanderson8901oved Yngwie, insisted my first band, a cover band, do I am a Viking after I slaved over learning the solo. Big challenge for our poor singer. Yeah, pretty much my fav solo from him. The only EVH I'd compare to Yng is Spanish fly. I'm from Boston, also knew Nuno Bettencourt. Who was a huge Yngwie fan. But Nuno knew when to shred, and when not to. I know I sound jaded, I spent a LONG time on my chops, too long. How often do you hear an Yngwie song at a hockey game or anywhere else? VH, Ozzy/Rhoads... those songs stood the test of time. I hated Slash, thought he was boring, and he was as a lead guy. But those riffs and songs stood out. I just wish, personally, I had focused less on chops, arpeggios, etc, and focused more on songwriting. Then it all went another way, and it was all gone w/ grunge.
Cool story I'll shar a/b Warren. In 1991 Nuno produced an album for Dweezil Zappa called Confessions. Warren and Dweezil were friends. He asked Warren to solo over a track. Warren showed up w/ a pre-cbs strat, opened the case, plugged in and listened to the track once. Said ok, and off the cuff ripped a solo, capturing perfectly the emotion of the song. He did a second take, which was different, but captured the same tone. So much so, Nuno laid them back to back. Then he got up, and said - Ok, I hve to split, and left. At the time Nuno was making a real name for himself in the guitar world, and threw compliments around like manhole covers. He was totally blown away by Warren's ability to do that. You can hear it here -
ruclips.net/video/8xlYPLfgRQ4/видео.html
Is it difficult to play? No, not at all. It's the ability to effortlessly express emotion like that.
Dimeola & Malmstein both got slammed & shamed because of their technical virtuosity.
I'd say Yngwie's right hand technique is in his wrist- pretty exclusively- not his thumb and finger. Check out both Troy Grady's coverage and Chris Brooks as well- they both do a GREAT job breaking down Yngwie's technique. I have to say Chris Brooks is a very good resource. Check him out- www.chrisbrook.com- no affiliation except I purchased his YngWay course (clever name) Don't forget Yngwie's signature pedals too! Yes- we definitely want a part 2!
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
I also saw him with AC/DC. 1985.
Have you heard Uli Jon Roth?
Yes. I am sure that Yngwie listened to him.
I would say Hendrix was more ahead of everyone else in his time rather than ahead of his time
Agreed and very well said. Hendrix is and always will be the foundation. He was amazing and timeless, his tone was impeccable. I could listen to Jimi all day! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Johnny, is that the Ali Express model in the intro??
As far as him being misunderstood..? Sure . He's human . Sometimes we speak before we think. And we all have bad days . Just pissed at whatever , certain things annoy us and respond that way. However I'm really becoming a huge fan of his playing .
Hey dude check out TONY MACALPINES MAXIMUM SECURITY AMAZEING PIANO PLAYER AND GUITAR PLAYER
I'll write my opinion on all those guitarists when I get to their level.
You can sit and wait forever.
Hey man love the videos, is the aliexpress seller's store you bought from still up?
so you're telling me that all those Fender with scallopped fretboards behind you are fakes?
By the way great channel and great content
Thank you very much. And to answer your question, yes. I really appreciate you watching.
Hey bro string I'm useing now are optima 24k gold brain may string these. String will making more clean sound were here every. Note u play I'm glad doing good rock on ✌
"Feel vs technique" is a ridiculous concept. I totally feel it in Malmsteen's playing although I listen to and play more of a traditional blues rock style. The thing however about the "evolution" of the guitar is a little bit problematic. It suggests that the "new" players can play all that the "old" could and much more. I don't think that's true. In my mind what the "new" guys are doing is just something different. Not "more advanced".
He is GoD! And your not bad....
Hello Johnny ,i watched yesterday your video about Randy Rhoads and Jake e lee,today about Yngwie.Totally agrre with you....i believe your tone and play it was closer in Yngwie's video compare to Randy's but still great. I observed something when you were talking and commenting and that's about Van Halen,I respect and I think was great what he did but my friend Randy Rhoads was soooo much better than him in all the ways,anything in only 2-3 albums don't need to mention about live shows.I suggest you then and that's my idea don't take me wrong please,better to mention Randy Rhoads instead of Van Halen.I repeat my opinion totally no offense .Thank you great talks and videos!!!
It's Heisenberg!
Less is more = oxymoron ! ... Surprised that Steve Morse wasn't mentioned , regarding sublime picking patterns ! ...
Johnny, I love your vids and playing. This was killer! Question, do you prefer the vintage spaced strat trems or the more narrow on a Floyd or Am Stnadard. I have issues with my E strings slipping off on my YJM Strat.
I needed to file the edges of my frets down. It took about 20 mins. thank you for watching!!
This is a old debate i been hearing for over 30 years oh this guy has no feeling or emotion in his playing ...also it is usually rock or blues based player i hear this from so what i do is put on the song Cross The Line from the CD Magnum Opus and let them hear that solo usually it is the end of the debate !!!
That is one of his greatest solos. Naysayers be gone.
Yngwie Malmsteen in his prime was incredible, but a lot of people would agree that his playing technique has never been quite the same since his car accident in 1987. He had a blood clot on the brain that damaged the nerves to his picking hand. In his autobiography, he claims that his playing got better after he recovered, but he is deluded in my opinion. The good news is that he went on to record some of his best music, with 'Unleash The Fury' being a career highlight in my opinion.
First and foremost thank you for watching, it really means a lot. You seem to be an astute student of the Swede. I am sure than in some way or form it has changed something. Yet, he still plays Black Star and Far Beyond the Sun perfectly with improvisation. I think his technique with arpeggios has gone way up aka Arpeggios from Hell. Some of his leads on Magnum Opus were incredible. Facing the Animal was murderously good. Great tone and wicked vibrato with chops to boot. An injury does change things, I can testify to that, but I think he is still better and keeps getting better. I saw him 5 months ago and he was in complete command. Thank you for watching and allowing me to share my thoughts. More to come!
You're correct in what you're saying in terms of his car accident and being in a coma and when he woke from it he had nerve damage in his picking hand and partial paralysis....He's been quoted as saying he had to learn how to play all over again. He's made many a great album after his accident. Exceptions being to his last album World on Fire the production is horrible as many of his albums are...they're not mixed right and the sound he's getting on recordings isn't doing him any justice. His improvisations on his live shows are great. His playing isn't as clean and crisp as it was in the 80's but there are many variables that can effect that....there's no doubt though that his styling has changed and he didn't have as much reverb in his playing like now. I've seen and heard him play from the 80's all the way up to now and although he can definitely play his old catalog....it's not as clean as it once was...it comes off as muddled too much distortion....I'd love for him to get back to the tone and crispness he had with Alcatrazz...
It's hard to believe there are numb nuts out there who swear Rhoads was more skilled as Yngwie. Yngwie could be Randy's classical guitar teacher!
Always enjoy the vids. I detect some lynch in there as well as the maestro
There is definitely some Lynch in there! Thanks for watching!
Uli is the 70s God!!!
I stupidly replied to your Back in the Saddle video that is like 5 months old. Check it out if you have minute. -Cheers
IMO it’s Jason Becker. Sad story.
It's the dude from Breaking Bad lol
How original
Looks like those malmsteins are reproducing 😃 any of them nylon stringed? Keep shredding mr white love the vids
more freestyle shredding
If that is a request I can certainly oblige. I fear it gets boring to the listener. But I am all in!
Has anyone said it has been boring? I think it's amazing you can get that kind of tone out of those $150 strats.
I'm jealous of malmsteen that's why I dislike him😂but for me musically Jason Becker was miles ahead of malmsteen. The sweeps Jason Becker does on serrana it's first time I heard melody in sweeps. It sounds like perfect water fall.
Also, I love Yngwie but he needs a good singer again. The singing has been so bad, it distracts from the great guitar playing.
Those coins were fake Not even silver king
