    Watching Yngwie play the Strat is like watching Thor the Thunder God wield Mjolnir.
    You can’t imagine one without the other.

    I turn 50 next month and I've been listening to Yngwie since I was a teenager in the 80s. Still blows me away to this day, from the Alcatrazz days up to present day, he's still the undisputed Master of the Stratocaster. Carlo 👍🏼🎸

    How the heck can anyone say that Malmsteen's playing is emotionless or soul-less? I just can't see it or hear it. All I hear is emotion in every bit of vibrato... I play "Far Beyond the Sun" every single day and have since I was 16 years old. It's my go to warm up. It never gets old. It's timeless to me like one of Bach or Beethoven's jams.
    Thanks for always being awesome, Yngwie, and for using the best guitar on this planet - The Fender Strat.

    I´m listening to him all my life and I so appreciate that he stayed true to himself.
    He is a real artist , creating his own genre with a passion that is combined with a major talent and a gazillion hours of practicing.
    He will never be surpassed.

    I am 50 years old, and I listen to Yngwie since 1984. I have never stopped listening to him and will never stop. For me, there is no argument that he is the best electric guitar player. This is for #Fender Yngwie J. Malmsteen is the reason ı like Fender Stratocaster guitars. He is the reference line for the rock music. Lots of things changed. Bands changed their music styles to remain relevant. Yngwie has always been there for true listeners with his unique style. So many people will not agree with me, I know, but for me, Yngwie is the biggest Fender Stratocaster player.

    Worked as stage assistant for him in 2007 and it was one of the best days in my life. He is a real professional and a very kind person. Forget the ego bullshit, he is a perfectionist. As soon as things are in the way he needs for his show, he becomes a very gentle giant. And damn, he is tall.

    Say what you want about him, you can like him or not, but even today, after almost 20 years from the start of You Tube, after watching hundreds of thousands of videos with guitarists of different ages and from all over the world, his style is inimitable! Any enthusiast of this music who wakes up in the middle of the night after 3 seconds will immediately recognize the song - yeah that's Yngwie! The smoothness of him playing arpeggios and sweeps is still unbeatable.

    Over 30 years ago, I performed 'Far Beyond the Sun' at my high school talent show, earning a standing ovation. Fast forward to my 30th reunion where I caught up with an old friend. She mentioned her 12-year-old son's obsession with a challenging guitar piece by a Swedish artist she couldn't quite pronounce. When I asked, 'Is it Yngwie?' her face lit up. I followed with, 'Is it Far Beyond the Sun?' To her surprise, I showed her a clip I uploaded to RUclips from an old VHS tape of me playing that very song. It's incredible to see Yngwie Malmsteen's work still inspiring new generations, and it's a testament to his enduring talent.

    @jameskelly9269 Месяц назад +5

    I was fortunate to see his beginnings in the US with Steeler, Alcatraz, and of course Rising Force. I met him briefly at an Alcatraz show and he told me "buy the album". I said I already had! 😂
    What a legend no one like him ever! He inspires me myself and my playing for 40+ years. Love the video he is the greatest to me \m/

  • @imienazvvisko

    One of the greatest guitarists of all time! Probably the greatest vibrato of all time! No one else combines so much technique with so much passion and feel, and created their own instantly recognisable sound. Black Star is one of the greatest compositions for guitar ever. What a legend!

  • @moodylukas

    All I can say is the Yngwie Fender "scalloped" Strat, is the BEST Stratocaster in my collection.🎸It's so amazing to play, you can feel how Yngwie feels with it. I could not ask for more. If there's only one suggestion or request I would like to add is, please add another Fret to make it 22, because sometimes I can't use it on other songs with a solo reaching for 22 frets.🙏 (Yeah bending is great, but that one fret is better.)🔥
    *YNGWIE MALMSTEEN* is the Best and my favorite guitarist EVER.🤘

  • @Yarrg

    YNGWIE is STILL the freaking G.O.A.T!!! ( Greatest of All Time). Not just a Virtuoso Master Guitarist 2nd to NONE, but a true Master COMPOSER and Musical WIZARD. He also has THE coolest songs ever written about fighting EVIL ( In the Name of God, from Attack, Fight the Good Fight from Para Bellum) - Still my musical HERO - Hard Fan of over 35 years. His concerts are so good it is INSANE. I literally freaking CRIED I was so inspired. ( I was 5 feet from the stage) Told my little brother, the next time he tours, I'm taking him and paying for the ticket. :) YJM guitars are the BEST, I own one. Can't put it down. The thing is freaking EXCALIBER on STEROIDS. My guitar instructor borrowed one from Fender and wants to run off with it hahaha. We are taking up a collection to buy him one he totally deserves it. Nice guy, great player. LOVE this video, I think YNGWIE used to work for a Luthier, so his knowledge of guitars is off the charts. And like myself he likes CLASSICAL Music. :) I admit it, I'm a classical music nerd and PROUD OF IT of it. :) "To play a wrong note is insignificant, but to play without passion is inexcusable" - Ludwig Von Beethoven

    I remember hearing Yngwie's first album, which had just been released, as if it were yesterday. One of my best friends had bought the disc, and we sat in his living room with our jaws on the floor as we listened to track after track. Little did we know at the time, that my friend, Wally Voss (RIP), would soon be playing Bass guitar with Yngwie on tour. Thanks for all of the music and the memories !!!

    Was fortunate to be in the audience for his "You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget" video shoot. Amazing to see him play right in front of me during the shoot and the mini-concert afterwards. Still have two of the many guitar picks/plectrums he tossed out to the crowd. Then again during his tour later and I think it was at the Long Beach Sports Arena in Southern California. Such great memories to carry me over when times were bad.

    When "Rising Force" released, I was in my 3rd or 4th year of High School. I used to go to "The Record Bar" every weekend to find something new to listen to( how many remember the record bar?) Anyway, I was into Maiden,Priest, Sabbath, Floyd you know..the good ones :P So I'm browsing and I see a strat in flames on this album cover and I think to myself, this has got to be good, I had a strat copy at the time (David Gilmour was my fav geetar picker) so I bought the record and hurried home. Mind Blown on the first track "Black Star" got to see him open for AC/DC when they were touring "For Those About to Rock" nobody in the crowd new who he was , except us fortunate ones lol, but they sure did after his set. Thank you Yngwie for all the fun times listening to that old record .
