Some guitarists don't practice. Surprisingly it's true. Robin Trower once said the same thing in a Guitar World interview hosted by Paul Gilbert. He said that his mastery on the guitar just flows in after lots of playing. I kind of agree as well. Over time, you actually pick up a number of things and start to develop your own style and in a way, it's also considered as practice but at moderate cadence.
@@foxns7 i mean, isn't lots of playing practice? If you're playing the right music (anything that challenges you), every time you play you're practicing.
@@jamieperry3731 Yup exactly. That's another way of thinking about practicing. The gist is to always have fun with the guitar and there are tons of methods you can go for.
@@foxns7this is a long ass comment, but I love playing neoclassical stuff and modern shred stuff like polyphia and chon, so between all that it's gonna demand pretty well every major picking and playing technique; fast alternate picking with string skipping, clean 5 and 6 string sweeping, tapping, shredding, good legato, etc all mixed together smoothly. I've actually gotten pretty good at doing just that after 11 years, but I've never "practiced" much besides a couple scale runs every now and then; just learning to play all my favourite music which is great practice and shows practical application of techniqued. Unfortunately the other side of that is that I'm not great at writing music because I don't have a very good grasp of music theory, I spent all my time on the technical side of things just reading tabs and repeating it, so I'm trying to come the other way now and learn to play only the notes I specifically want to play when I write music. Guthrie Govan said the difference between Yngwie and the clones is that while yes, he was fast, Yngwie meant every single note he played; whereas the clones (for the most part) only nailed the speed and didn't get the theory side of things. That's about where I'm getting to technically, but I want to develop more of my own sound and ability so I can start to distinguish and express myself properly as an artist. I love harmonic minor, diminished etc though so good practice for me at this point hardly even requires my guitar. Important for new players to learn that.
@@monsieurgolem3392 A Clown?…Van Dam, my long winded, overly expletive, ranting & raving diatribe, only wasted time & utterly failed to explain the logic of Yngwie never practicing?…Malmseen undeniably is a naturally gifted, high level genius virtuoso guitarist, that put in his 10,000 hours to become an expert & developed muscle memory long ago & escaped from the teaming masses, racing towards what they know not, to focus inwardly on what he knew all to well, in relying solely on his hard won, radically unique approaches to his interpersonal relationship with the guitar, which melded into a second natured part of his body, as he automatically drew confidently from his deep well of tricks, like a driven robot on auto pilot, while obsessively playing 8 hour long recitals to himself, in constantly by improvising & reinventing & creating his music. At some point, decades ago, Yngwie quit practicing repetitively, and exclusively started working…🍩🎸
Exactly glad someone else got that and the Swedish sense of humor, which is dry wit often. I absolutely love the way his brain works. That’s the maestro.
I started playing in 1985 when I was 15. "Shred" was not a thing. I play and listen to Vivian Campbell, Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Adrian Vandenberg, etc. Those guys are serious business with ZERO sweep picking. It needs to be a federal offense.
I never considered Yngwie to be a shredder. I can listen to his Neo Classical playing all day, but I can't stand sweep picking shred and tapping. 10 seconds of monotonous shred an I'm looking for some rope and an unsteady chair.

Yngwie the legend, some of thing he said a bit weird but he's totally extra ordinary guitarist
Ahha ya.. some of these are against the music 'law', if there even is such a thing 🤭.

He never practiced?, whats his definition of practice? Wouldnt a rehearsal be practice?, he never played anything more than 3 times?...come on.
@@derangedhermit2879 he wants to make it seem like he NEVER practiced. He can be a clown sometimes.

You forgot the worst of his statements "more is more" or "how can less be more?" ...
It is sweep picking, just not as good as Frank Gambale´s.
Who doesnt loves Eddie Van Halen work?
The editing on this video is great!
Thank you Elipse!! Glad you like it 🙏
Yngwie's a rhetorician and speaks figuratively.

Nothing controversial about anything he said apart from the sweep-picking though... but anyway nice little video thanks 👏
Thanks and Im glad you like the video
