I bought his $2000 Fender - and you’ve got a point… how does he shred on THAT guitar? The JS 2480, Silver Sky, Custom 24 so much easier to play. And how does he shred on acoustic? I too worship his playing!
Say what you want about Yngwie, he's never compromised, always stuck to his guns and survived every genre change and fad, for nearly four decades. He's done as much for electric guitar as Hendrix, Blackmore, Van Halen et al. The true master of the Stratocaster. Great video and channel Bro Shred. Greetings from Liverpool, UK. Carlo 🎸👍🏼
I wouldn't say he's done as much as Jimi or Eddie, most people couldn't name him at all and many guitarists dismiss him entirely, but he can kill it none the less.
I can't play like Yngwie at all, but he's why I really started playing guitar (after watching a bootleg VHS tape of his LIVE performance with Alcatrazz in Japan- 1984).
Always has been, always will be Yngwie is a pioneer and musical genius he has been playing nearly 40 years professionally and still touring to this day. He is the G. O. A. T
Yngwie Malmsteen is an amazing player, so clean, fast and accurate. The studio version of this song has one the most unbelievable guitar riffs I have ever heard anyone play. It's in the middle of the song when he is going back and forth with the keyboard player he just rips this incredibly fast line that sounds like a whirlwind. It is just vicious in its intensity, he has this fire in his playing that is just incredibly awesome.
You mean the solo lines trades with keyboard. Then you could not call it a riff. If you refer to 8:00 (in this video) then you could call it a riff... but not a memoraboe one.
The most memorable part of the studio version is the "solo" section at the end (10:23 in this video), while band, bass and drums, throws orchestra ensemble-like between the furious scales, arpeggios and bends. Until that day I still can listen to that part in loop.
The dude is one of the most monstrous guitar players that have ever lived. What kills me the most is his endurance while playing at this totally insane level of precision.
while I was watching I couldn't think of any guitarist that could get on that stage and fill in either. Many people have made fun of him over the years but his ability and technique is on a level that most will never even become to get close.
Go to any quality university music school, and listen to some of the classical trained guitarists! They are better than him…they just don’t practise “speed all day long”! Without the speed…he is just a good player….maybe even less?
@@realscience948 Lol! Yeah and then give those classically trained guitarists a Fender strat and a 100watt marshall stack, cranked on ten. See how well they play on that. Get a grip dude... you have no idea what youre talking about.

Franz Liszt once said so poignantly, “For the virtuoso, musical works are nothing but tragic and moving materializations of his emotions: he is called upon to make them speak, weep, sing, and sigh, to re-create them by his consciousness. In this way, like the composer, he is a creator, for he must have within himself those passions that he wishes to bring so intensely to life.” This quote to me expresses the tone, vibrancy, eclectic furor, and intensity that describes Yngwie’s musicianship, especially when I listen to his works. When I was active-duty military, I can count all the specific albums and songs that resonated with me during the 3-tours of deployment that I paid with my life. At the end of each mission, if I could feel my fingers, hands, and arms when returning to base, I made sure to end the day by playing my guitar. Much of Yngwie’s works are instrumental, and his interpretation of the Baroque classical offerings of Bach, Paganini, Vivaldi, and Beethoven greatly intrigued me to his playing. And while hearing his music after being on the frontlines of what humans should never experience regularly in combat and war, his music brought a sense of relevance and calm in my chaotic world of Uncle Sam’s military Yngwie truly shines in this arrangement of his music with an awesome orchestral Japanese philharmonic. Truly, one of his best moments in music. Keep on rockin’ in a free world!

Gotta give him props. He's earned the title of Godfather of Neo-Classical for a reason. And this was perhaps his biggest dream of all time. A return to the form and placing him at the center of the orchestra gives him that instant feedback to play so tightly together. The entire concerto from start to finish is a true gem. Especially opening with a rare instrumental orchestral only of Black Star is a side of Yngwie never heard before.
@@NealosMetropolos well then so is Deep Purple. And Led Zeppelin is just plagiarizing Chicago Blues. And Eric Clapton is a no talent wannabe blues player. That's how you sound.

Yngvie is an epic guitar player. Defenetly in the top 5 electric guitar players in the world.. and think that he was playing these things from the early 80s... just amazing!
I'm of the opinion that his best work during this concerto was "Prelude to April / Toccata" I've probably listened to this entire performance over 80 times. It's magnificent.
It amazes me that a human being can pull off something like this. The skill, the stamina, the control, and the knowledge of the instrument is almost alien like. Its amazing what we can do if we set out to accomplish a goal
Have always enjoyed Yngwie, he's incredible.From Steeler,to Alcatraz to his many many incredible songs by him and his Rising Force......thank Paganini, Blackmore, Uli Roth, for opening the door, then Yngwie for completely taking over and widening the gates for the Shrapnel Shredders....
I heard almost every guitar player in the last 60 years and saw live more than 500 live shows in my life, two of those were of Yngwie Malmsteen, and only god knows how many live shows i saw on RUclips or at my home on my video and dvd, there are a lot of great guitar players all over the world but nobody plays like Yngwie Malmsteen, this track Far Beyond The Sun is great already on the original version but here with the philharmonic orchestra it's beyond great, it's fantastic, the combination of the guitar with the violins and the french horns and the perfect timing of all the instruments together is a masterpiece, this is what Yngwie Malmsteen is all about, cheers and thanks for sharing your awesome video.
Never forget the first time my guitar teacher and I heard far beyond the sun for the first time. We were both drop-jawed and astonished at what we were hearing and just laughed out loud. We got to go to many of the early Yngwie shows when he was in his prime!!!
Unfortunately that’s not all true formal keyboard player Mats Olausson RIP have done some arrangements with YM also cuz Yngwie doesn’t read much or can write down music as probably you already know. Mats never got any credit for that.
Malmsteen plays with pure soul. Every single lick he plays is memorable and compositions ideas are way too good for someone who learned guitar in the age of no internet. Best shredder ever? BEST SHREDDER EVER!!
Thank you for posting. And saying what I have been since this came out. NOBODY compares to this guys gutiar ability at this time in his life. I saw him Live about this same time period. And I think my jaw stayed on the floor the entire show.
He’s one of the cleanest, fastest players ever! It doesn’t matter what amp u buy u will never sound like him his amazing tone is from his fingers! He arguably has the best vibrato in all of history. I have always been impressed with his abilities and what he does but his music is not for me I have watched and listened to so much of his stuff because I am a guitar player but I could never get into it but I have massive respect for him. For me I don’t care how technically good a guitar player is it’s about being a great writer, serving the song the best you can not just playing as many notes as you can fit in sometimes less is more. If I liked neo classical music I’m sure he would be my favorite.
If I remember correctly, this was done with the Japanese Philharmonic SPONTANEOUSLY. They sprung this on him as a surprise to him, as he didn't have it in his mind to play this. Yngwie had just recently put out an album with the Czech Philharmonic at that time, called Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor Op.1. A lot of what he had done from that album was on this performance, but Far Beyond the Sun was not what he was thinking he would be performing. The orchestra rehearsed it, then asked Yngwie if they could play it with him. He obliged, and this is what we have. From what I read, he didn't rehearse any of Far Beyond the Sun with them, so all of this was from memory and muscle memory, and they knocked it out of the park.
You've gotta give props to Yngwie. Dude's a gigantic tool, but no one shreds like him. Phantasmagoric precision and control, not a note out of place, amazing tone and having a lot of fun while doing it. Magnificent beast.
I have seen a few times. Recently went to one of his Master Classes. I believe that he is the finest living guitarist. Exceptional performance and discussion. Thanks Maestro.
My favorite Yngwie solo is from Gates of Babylon. The main solo, not the acoustic bit at the end (which as also fantastic). He builds up to some great high notes and it just melts my soul every time I listen to it.
I bought that yngwie malmsteen dvd with the Japanese philharmonic in highschool 2005 or 2006 or something like that , that inspired me so much I still have that dvd back then when ac dc and bands similar were really all I knew because of my parents finding this and watching over and over absolutely blew me away.
Yngwie has the best vibrato of all time. That’s indisputable. Also Yngwie composed all of the arrangements here. He had friend score it, but he wrote everything.
Phenomenal vibrato indeed it's right up there as one of the greatest of all time. My favourites are Yngwie of course, Gary Moore, John Norum, John Sykes, and George Lynch.
That blew my socks off. A lifetime of top tier work by a virtuoso and by all the combined eons of musical work and talent from the orchestra distilled down into a nuclear powercore.
Thank you for not stopping every other note, to convey your insights. Even though that would have made the video more likely to connect with future generations. Literally.
Very much agreed Shred, it's the most epic guitar solo Ever!👍.....It's the song that's a must learn for every guitarist, stoped learning this song because the first few bars alone would give me trouble (the speed fills) Even Kiko Loureiro and Ron Bumblefoot Thal. ( 2 guitar monsters) can attest that its one of the most difficult songs they learned when started learning shredding, and Ron said he sometimes forgot his own songs but not Yngwie's songs because they are "amazing" and epic. Yngwie is probably my favorite shredder ever.....seen hundreds of technical guitarist, but I still dig Yng because he has the x-factor. His very tight playing is coupled with a loose vintage feel thats missing to many of the technical monsters out there. Plus his "godlike vibrato" is second to none. Yngwie RULES! 🤘Cheers!
I remember my first live concert was yngwie back when i was like 10. My dad took me to see him and my ears were ringing till the next day lol, that was such a good show
@@mikehester1209 nice try, but I was 18 when I first saw him, I'm now in my mid 50s. Ask anyone who saw Yngwie on his Rising Force club tour just how loud it was. I've seen hundreds of bands play, none came close to how loud this was.
@@davidyates8880 well Whoopi do young man, because I'm 63 and have seen way more bands than you ever have, including him, and I can tell you that Ted Nugent, Kiss, and Black Sabbath made him sound like I was wearing earplugs, to name just a few
@@mikehester1209 ok boomer. I've seen all those bands except for that bellend Nugent. As I said, I've seen hundreds of bands, but if you wish to get into a pissing contest then feel free. I'm just sharing my experience, sorry you were late to the Yngwie party.
So epic! I remember learning a decent amount of this song my freshman year in highschool. i think i am going have to relearn it better this time because the nostalgia is hitting pretty damn hard right now!
Solos from Now Your ships are Burned are PERFECTION🙌 Just pure evil and talent.🔥 Now we all laugh at Yngwie, but he was a monster on guitar. Salutes from Buenos Aires🤘
There is a video of the entire 1 hour, 14 minute performance... and it is UTTER INSANITY. The way he's in lockstep with the entire orchestra in this song, controlling his dynamics at times to blend in with them? He's 100% on it for the ENTIRE PERFORMANCE, and the amount of emotion he delivers is just incredible while being absolutely perfect rhythmically. I've never heard anything like it, and I don't know that humanity will hear anything like it again. This song? It's the last one in the concert, technically a 2nd encore song. The songs they're playing are from his 1998 Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E-flat minor, Op. 1, which Yngwie composed for orchestra himself, with David Rosenthal doing the scoring. But this song, Far Beyond the Sun, that was on Rising Force, so I don't know if he did the composition for this or not. The first encore song was Blitzkrieg from 1999's Alchemy album, same unknown on the composition for that. Absolutely though, Yngwie was 100% in his element playing with an orchestra. It's almost as if that was what he was meant to do, compose for orchestra and play solo electric guitar alongside them. The term neoclassical was coined to describe his style (he didn't come up with that, someone else did, not sure who), it only makes sense that it sounds the most complete with an orchestra of classical western instruments.
I can understand people not being into this style of guitar, but when they say that Yngwie just plays real fast with no emotion, then they just aren't even listening to him. Yngwie tends to OOZE with emotional feel! One of the best!
I love this so much. I've watched it multiple times. However, my heart still tells me Black Star or I Am a Viking due to that nostalgic hit they give me.
as I have read Mr. Malmsteen rewrote the music for all the instruments for this performance, for the whole thing!!!. OUTSTANDING...............from Mrs. Moesky...just beautiful. I have listened to this many times, can't count. Wow...........................
We are lucky to be living on the same times as Yngwie J. Malmsteen; and also lucky that he's still alive and playing amazing music. He's 60 years old now, so, with luck, we have 10 more years of him playing live.
Not sure about any changes to the arrangement for this performance of Far Beyond The Sun with the Japanese Philharmonic, but I believe Yngwie had worked with former Rainbow keyboardist, David Rosenthal (who also did all of the scores) when the Concerto Suite was originally put together and recorded with the Czech Philharmonic, so they may also have collaborated to work this out for an orchestral backing.
My favorites - General Hospital - I'll see the light tonight - Too young to die, too drunk to live To name a few 😊 Pedal point in I'll see the light is a PITA for me to nail.
I used to have this whole concert on DVD and the whole damn thing was really good. And the best thing about yngwie was he didn't ever change who he was for anybody and to me that's probably the most important. Like the time zakk Wylde said some people at the record company thought he should cut his hair and put on some baggy jeans... I mean what the f*** kind of goddamn s*** with that have been
My Mount Rushmore in my opinion for Guitar gods are Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimi Page, one other one would be, Zakk Wylde, [ check out the farewell ballad song off of the Doom crew inc., also a song called a love unreal off of the grimmest hits, amazing solos, and amazing singing by Zakk's band Black Label Society] I personally think the pulse version of comfortably numb by Pink Floyd is the best solo, then Mr. Crowley Live off of the afterhours live video, also the live stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin, [off the song remains the same], then voodoo Chile, by Jimi Hendrix, then George Lynch with Dokken, with unchain the night live from Beast from the East, or maybe the in my dream's studio version, or the Dream warriors, or the kiss of death studio versions. I do also love the solo I am a Viking, or you don't remember I'll never forget, or even crying, by your Yngwie Malmsteen. also, one last solo to listen to is the were stars by a plethora of bad ass guitar players by a project Ronnie James Dio, Vivian Cambell, and Jimmy Bain put together back in the day to help fight hunger the project was called Hear n Aid. To be honest there is never one best solo of all time, it's all up to the listener, and usually the listener always thinks back to their youth and always has a special spot for those songs the listener listened to back then and holds those songs in very high regard in their heart.
Darkness calls is a very awesome solo, off of lynch mobs second album, George Lynch was very influential to me when it came to my guitar playing. I looooved it when I first heard alone again, tooth and nail, and when heaven comes down, off their second album George Lynch had some of the coolest guitars, just like A Mr. Randy Rhoads did. Thanks for responding my friend.
The synthesis he is covering until 5:10, it is Tomaso Albinoni's Adagio in G minor. Far beyond the sun starts around there, and yes this is my favorite solo, even from his original album.
That is one of the most epic performances for me. Love the sound, and like you said, he was on point at that time. Any thoughts on Mental Cruelty's Ultima Hypocrita? Yo Onityan's solo on that one is just wonderful.
Yngwie Was A Beast .. He was a Monster ... No One can play neo classical technique with full of soul and emotions like him ... Slow and fast ,, both full with emotion ,, damn .. He was a Monster .....
It's been the norm for a long time to shit on Yngwie. Meanwhile, he's simply one of the most impressive musicians to ever grace this earth. We should be grateful for him
I saw Yngwie live last November in Green Bay Wisconsin. I must say Ive never seen such control and mastery on guitar. Yngwie tore it up and he is much faster live, clean and never missed a note. Guitars are flyin picks are flyin and the interaction with the crowd was really cool. This all started hearing Yngwie play Hot on your Heels with the Keel band and I highly suggest you listen to that. I was floored after hearing that way back in high school around 82-83 and Ive supported Yngwie ever since. It took 35 years to cross Yngwie off the bucket list, its not over, I will see him again for sure. I gotta say Yngwie is the King without a doubt, if you think Im wrong go see him live. Even at this age he is on fire from begging to the end. More is more and thats Yngwie Fuckin Malmsteen !!
How does he crank on it without it going out of tune? Two ways to tune a strat like that -- you string it and play it a bunch and keep tuning it to pitch. Bend the notes, tune it. Bend with finger again, tune. This method makes it so using the trem will likely make it go out of tune unless you have a great setup for a non-locking. The other way to do it, which I believe is Yngwie way (and the way I do it), is to play the guitar like you would normally aftrer strining it and getting it to pitch, but before you adjust it back to tune, depress the trem and release, then tune. Play it some more, then depress the trem, then tune. Always depress the trem before you tune to pitch, and then depress it again, check tuning, tune to pitch. Basically, this makes it so depressing the trem actually RETURNS the guitar to pitch. The downside of this is that it will go out of tune easier when bending notes with your finger or using wide vibrato,. BUT a depress of the trem will bring it right back. This is why you see Yngwie (particularly in that old Alcatrazz 84 live video) adding in a little trem work when his guitar is going out of tune, and then voila its back in tune.
I agree with your pic on this!! I just seen yngwie I have great video and pics of him he loves the camera, it was jaw dropping , I'm istill in amazement , it was a phenomenal experience
In my mind it's the binge and grab solo by Buckethead. Because it's like he took every feel good Saturday morning I ever had as a kid and stuffed them all in to 1 bucket. He showed me a brand new world of joy and happiness I never thought possible. I've never been the same.

He’s in the same league as Blackmore for sure. Jimi and Eddie are above that no question.
Agreed for certain however he has his way of stepping on the song or the musicality where one can longer hear his acquiesce of genius
It's not 'a lot of notes', it's exactly the right number of notes. Phenomenal artist.
Could not agree more. It is the envy of the talentless that is always coming up with this critizism regarding his epic shredding.
Exactly...reminds me of the movie" Amadeus, " when Mozart gives his reply to the kaiser!
Yes i wanted to comment on that also but you did say it correctly.
It is a lot of notes. It's not "too many" notes.
I love his playing, when a song moves you and you know every note, it's a wonderful feeling. Yngwie grabs my ear and doesn't let go!
I can't play like Yngwie at all, but he's why I really started playing guitar (after watching a bootleg VHS tape of his LIVE performance with Alcatrazz in Japan- 1984).

I heard almost every guitar player in the last 60 years and saw live more than 500 live shows in my life, two of those were of Yngwie Malmsteen, and only god knows how many live shows i saw on RUclips or at my home on my video and dvd, there are a lot of great guitar players all over the world but nobody plays like Yngwie Malmsteen, this track Far Beyond The Sun is great already on the original version but here with the philharmonic orchestra it's beyond great, it's fantastic, the combination of the guitar with the violins and the french horns and the perfect timing of all the instruments together is a masterpiece, this is what Yngwie Malmsteen is all about, cheers and thanks for sharing your awesome video.
His timing is savage, considering he finds it hard to stop playing at any given moment. Have this recording years, great choice Shred!
Dude, I saw this awhile back and it was the most incredible guitar performance I've ever seen...
definitely not, early Malmsteen was much better,
Never forget the first time my guitar teacher and I heard far beyond the sun for the first time. We were both drop-jawed and astonished at what we were hearing and just laughed out loud. We got to go to many of the early Yngwie shows when he was in his prime!!!
I believe Yngwie made the orchestral arrangements himself
Absolutely true....
He indeed did.
We had him at a clinic in Perth Australian. He Infact answered that very question.
This then makes him a modern day composer
Perhaps … but based on/influenced by Bach.
Unfortunately that’s not all true formal keyboard player Mats Olausson RIP have done some arrangements with YM also cuz Yngwie doesn’t read much or can write down music as probably you already know. Mats never got any credit for that.
Does that mean he actually wrote out every note, or just advised the conductor tho?
Malmsteen plays with pure soul. Every single lick he plays is memorable and compositions ideas are way too good for someone who learned guitar in the age of no internet. Best shredder ever? BEST SHREDDER EVER!!
Thank you for posting. And saying what I have been since this came out.
NOBODY compares to this guys gutiar ability at this time in his life.
I saw him Live about this same time period. And I think my jaw stayed on the floor the entire show.
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation, Shred!!! Thank you! I've never heard Yngwie play this good, ever! And LIVE, too!
I saw Yngwie on his Eclipse tour...He was UNBELIEVABLE!! By far, the greatest in-person performance I ever saw growing up in the 80s & 90s.
He’s one of the cleanest, fastest players ever! It doesn’t matter what amp u buy u will never sound like him his amazing tone is from his fingers! He arguably has the best vibrato in all of history. I have always been impressed with his abilities and what he does but his music is not for me I have watched and listened to so much of his stuff because I am a guitar player but I could never get into it but I have massive respect for him. For me I don’t care how technically good a guitar player is it’s about being a great writer, serving the song the best you can not just playing as many notes as you can fit in sometimes less is more. If I liked neo classical music I’m sure he would be my favorite.
Yngwie is monster. As some of the guys he influenced. For example Michael Romeo, probably one of the best guitarists in the world. 😁🤟
Yeah, that's a fair assessment. Romeo is clean af.
If I remember correctly, this was done with the Japanese Philharmonic SPONTANEOUSLY. They sprung this on him as a surprise to him, as he didn't have it in his mind to play this. Yngwie had just recently put out an album with the Czech Philharmonic at that time, called Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor Op.1. A lot of what he had done from that album was on this performance, but Far Beyond the Sun was not what he was thinking he would be performing. The orchestra rehearsed it, then asked Yngwie if they could play it with him. He obliged, and this is what we have. From what I read, he didn't rehearse any of Far Beyond the Sun with them, so all of this was from memory and muscle memory, and they knocked it out of the park.
nooooooo (in amazement)
Hadn't heard that before...If true, WOW!!!!
You've gotta give props to Yngwie. Dude's a gigantic tool, but no one shreds like him. Phantasmagoric precision and control, not a note out of place, amazing tone and having a lot of fun while doing it. Magnificent beast.

He definitely ate doughnuts that day
He don't like doughnuts
Can you please shut up
A defining moment in Music history. Just like Woodstock 1969. An avatar of the Baroque period amongst us in this era is heaven sent. Salute
Watched that vid last week- simply exceptional combination of the symphony and the genius that is Yngwie

And what about around the timestamp of 3:20? People say he had no feeling. Heck that portion just about makes me want to cry.
I have seen a few times. Recently went to one of his Master Classes. I believe that he is the finest living guitarist. Exceptional performance and discussion. Thanks Maestro.
I gave this a like as soon I saw Yngwie's name and even before playing the video. I have had this on DVD since it came out in 2005.
My favorite Yngwie solo is from Gates of Babylon. The main solo, not the acoustic bit at the end (which as also fantastic). He builds up to some great high notes and it just melts my soul every time I listen to it.

Rainbow are original artist
I really loved young Yngwie like Rising Force young. He was really killing it in his 20s and 30s big time.
I bought that yngwie malmsteen dvd with the Japanese philharmonic in highschool 2005 or 2006 or something like that , that inspired me so much I still have that dvd back then when ac dc and bands similar were really all I knew because of my parents finding this and watching over and over absolutely blew me away.
Yngwie has the best vibrato of all time. That’s indisputable.
Also Yngwie composed all of the arrangements here. He had friend score it, but he wrote everything.
Nah there is marty friedman
@AlluringSkull Noooo way dude🤣
Phenomenal vibrato indeed it's right up there as one of the greatest of all time. My favourites are Yngwie of course, Gary Moore, John Norum, John Sykes, and George Lynch.
That blew my socks off. A lifetime of top tier work by a virtuoso and by all the combined eons of musical work and talent from the orchestra distilled down into a nuclear powercore.
Thank you for not stopping every other note, to convey your insights. Even though that would have made the video more likely to connect with future generations. Literally.
The fire and Ice tour was one of the best live performances in my list of greats
C'est la vie has a mind bendingly insane solo
Very much agreed Shred, it's the most epic guitar solo Ever!👍.....It's the song that's a must learn for every guitarist, stoped learning this song because the first few bars alone would give me trouble (the speed fills) Even Kiko Loureiro and Ron Bumblefoot Thal. ( 2 guitar monsters) can attest that its one of the most difficult songs they learned when started learning shredding, and Ron said he sometimes forgot his own songs but not Yngwie's songs because they are "amazing" and epic. Yngwie is probably my favorite shredder ever.....seen hundreds of technical guitarist, but I still dig Yng because he has the x-factor. His very tight playing is coupled with a loose vintage feel thats missing to many of the technical monsters out there. Plus his "godlike vibrato" is second to none. Yngwie RULES! 🤘Cheers!
I remember my first live concert was yngwie back when i was like 10. My dad took me to see him and my ears were ringing till the next day lol, that was such a good show
I saw Yngwie in 1985 in a small club. It was jaw dropping and unfeasibly loud!

If it's to loud, your to old, and if it doesn't move you, you better see a doctor, because you may be dead already
@@mikehester1209 nice try, but I was 18 when I first saw him, I'm now in my mid 50s. Ask anyone who saw Yngwie on his Rising Force club tour just how loud it was. I've seen hundreds of bands play, none came close to how loud this was.
@@davidyates8880 well Whoopi do young man, because I'm 63 and have seen way more bands than you ever have, including him, and I can tell you that Ted Nugent, Kiss, and Black Sabbath made him sound like I was wearing earplugs, to name just a few
@@mikehester1209 ok boomer. I've seen all those bands except for that bellend Nugent. As I said, I've seen hundreds of bands, but if you wish to get into a pissing contest then feel free. I'm just sharing my experience, sorry you were late to the Yngwie party.
Check out Yngwie’s solo on his cover of Child In Time off the Inspirations album. 5 minutes of virtuosity. Quite possibly my favorite solo ever.
So epic! I remember learning a decent amount of this song my freshman year in highschool. i think i am going have to relearn it better this time because the nostalgia is hitting pretty damn hard right now!
You can hear the influence Yngwie gave to Trans Siberian Orchestra. One amazing talent.
Solos from Now Your ships are Burned are PERFECTION🙌
Just pure evil and talent.🔥
Now we all laugh at Yngwie, but he was a monster on guitar.
Salutes from Buenos Aires🤘
A beautiful song!
what's so phenomenally impressive here is everyone involved are subdividing the count and are just tight as nails.
In the Top 5 guitarist's ever! People hate on him but you can't deny how great this guy is
There is a video of the entire 1 hour, 14 minute performance... and it is UTTER INSANITY. The way he's in lockstep with the entire orchestra in this song, controlling his dynamics at times to blend in with them? He's 100% on it for the ENTIRE PERFORMANCE, and the amount of emotion he delivers is just incredible while being absolutely perfect rhythmically. I've never heard anything like it, and I don't know that humanity will hear anything like it again. This song? It's the last one in the concert, technically a 2nd encore song. The songs they're playing are from his 1998 Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E-flat minor, Op. 1, which Yngwie composed for orchestra himself, with David Rosenthal doing the scoring. But this song, Far Beyond the Sun, that was on Rising Force, so I don't know if he did the composition for this or not. The first encore song was Blitzkrieg from 1999's Alchemy album, same unknown on the composition for that. Absolutely though, Yngwie was 100% in his element playing with an orchestra. It's almost as if that was what he was meant to do, compose for orchestra and play solo electric guitar alongside them. The term neoclassical was coined to describe his style (he didn't come up with that, someone else did, not sure who), it only makes sense that it sounds the most complete with an orchestra of classical western instruments.
I just clicked on vid for awesome spinning donuts 😄🍩 pause here- 4:09
In the 80s!!!! He had a massive ego!!! But now , I think he's mellowed out in his old age!!! 😊 Now , I find his stories to be fascinating!!!! 😊
"Deceptive resolution" was a great description of the musical moment there.
His tone and vibrato are unearthly. Totally amazing player.
Last comment; your channel is great. You truly have deep musical knowledge. Hat off.
How can you not love Yngwie
I can understand people not being into this style of guitar, but when they say that Yngwie just plays real fast with no emotion, then they just aren't even listening to him. Yngwie tends to OOZE with emotional feel! One of the best!
@@voronOsphere Exactly
I love this so much. I've watched it multiple times. However, my heart still tells me Black Star or I Am a Viking due to that nostalgic hit they give me.
Nobody grabs the notes by the balls like Yngwie
Yngwie's vibrato is what gets me all the time.
I'm Swedish and hearing Yngwies demos back in the late 70's completely blew our collective minds.

as I have read Mr. Malmsteen rewrote the music for all the instruments for this performance, for the whole thing!!!. OUTSTANDING...............from Mrs. Moesky...just beautiful. I have listened to this many times, can't count. Wow...........................
The only song I’ll ever need from Yngwie, this encompasses every aspect of his playing, his masterpiece.
We are lucky to be living on the same times as Yngwie J. Malmsteen; and also lucky that he's still alive and playing amazing music.
He's 60 years old now, so, with luck, we have 10 more years of him playing live.
Not sure about any changes to the arrangement for this performance of Far Beyond The Sun with the Japanese Philharmonic, but I believe Yngwie had worked with former Rainbow keyboardist, David Rosenthal (who also did all of the scores) when the Concerto Suite was originally put together and recorded with the Czech Philharmonic, so they may also have collaborated to work this out for an orchestral backing.
My favorites
- General Hospital
- I'll see the light tonight
- Too young to die, too drunk to live
To name a few 😊
Pedal point in I'll see the light is a PITA for me to nail.
I used to have this whole concert on DVD and the whole damn thing was really good. And the best thing about yngwie was he didn't ever change who he was for anybody and to me that's probably the most important. Like the time zakk Wylde said some people at the record company thought he should cut his hair and put on some baggy jeans... I mean what the f*** kind of goddamn s*** with that have been
My Mount Rushmore in my opinion for Guitar gods are Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimi Page, one other one would be, Zakk Wylde, [ check out the farewell ballad song off of the Doom crew inc., also a song called a love unreal off of the grimmest hits, amazing solos, and amazing singing by Zakk's band Black Label Society] I personally think the pulse version of comfortably numb by Pink Floyd is the best solo, then Mr. Crowley Live off of the afterhours live video, also the live stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin, [off the song remains the same], then voodoo Chile, by Jimi Hendrix, then George Lynch with Dokken, with unchain the night live from Beast from the East, or maybe the in my dream's studio version, or the Dream warriors, or the kiss of death studio versions. I do also love the solo I am a Viking, or you don't remember I'll never forget, or even crying, by your Yngwie Malmsteen. also, one last solo to listen to is the were stars by a plethora of bad ass guitar players by a project Ronnie James Dio, Vivian Cambell, and Jimmy Bain put together back in the day to help fight hunger the project was called Hear n Aid. To be honest there is never one best solo of all time, it's all up to the listener, and usually the listener always thinks back to their youth and always has a special spot for those songs the listener listened to back then and holds those songs in very high regard in their heart.
Darkness calls is a very awesome solo, off of lynch mobs second album, George Lynch was very influential to me when it came to my guitar playing. I looooved it when I first heard alone again, tooth and nail, and when heaven comes down, off their second album George Lynch had some of the coolest guitars, just like A Mr. Randy Rhoads did. Thanks for responding my friend.
That deceptive cadence got me too. This song has always been my favorite of his since Rising Force came out.
The synthesis he is covering until 5:10, it is Tomaso Albinoni's Adagio in G minor. Far beyond the sun starts around there, and yes this is my favorite solo, even from his original album.
That is one of the most epic performances for me. Love the sound, and like you said, he was on point at that time.
Any thoughts on Mental Cruelty's Ultima Hypocrita? Yo Onityan's solo on that one is just wonderful.

Finally Malmsteen gets the attention he deserves
He very famous the last 40 years😊😊😊
Yngwie Was A Beast ..
He was a Monster ...
No One can play neo classical technique with full of soul and emotions like him ...
Slow and fast ,, both full with emotion ,, damn .. He was a Monster .....
It's been the norm for a long time to shit on Yngwie. Meanwhile, he's simply one of the most impressive musicians to ever grace this earth. We should be grateful for him
Yngwie wrote all arrangements. He is going all out with his Marshalls on 10 and loads of reverb. Boom!
"The Maestro" and his epic solos!!!!
I saw Yngwie live last November in Green Bay Wisconsin. I must say Ive never seen such control and mastery on guitar. Yngwie tore it up and he is much faster live, clean and never missed a note. Guitars are flyin picks are flyin and the interaction with the crowd was really cool. This all started hearing Yngwie play Hot on your Heels with the Keel band and I highly suggest you listen to that. I was floored after hearing that way back in high school around 82-83 and Ive supported Yngwie ever since. It took 35 years to cross Yngwie off the bucket list, its not over, I will see him again for sure. I gotta say Yngwie is the King without a doubt, if you think Im wrong go see him live. Even at this age he is on fire from begging to the end. More is more and thats Yngwie Fuckin Malmsteen !!

How does he crank on it without it going out of tune? Two ways to tune a strat like that -- you string it and play it a bunch and keep tuning it to pitch. Bend the notes, tune it. Bend with finger again, tune. This method makes it so using the trem will likely make it go out of tune unless you have a great setup for a non-locking.
The other way to do it, which I believe is Yngwie way (and the way I do it), is to play the guitar like you would normally aftrer strining it and getting it to pitch, but before you adjust it back to tune, depress the trem and release, then tune. Play it some more, then depress the trem, then tune. Always depress the trem before you tune to pitch, and then depress it again, check tuning, tune to pitch. Basically, this makes it so depressing the trem actually RETURNS the guitar to pitch. The downside of this is that it will go out of tune easier when bending notes with your finger or using wide vibrato,. BUT a depress of the trem will bring it right back. This is why you see Yngwie (particularly in that old Alcatrazz 84 live video) adding in a little trem work when his guitar is going out of tune, and then voila its back in tune.

This is definitely one of my favorite moments in music.

Unbelievable! Very well done video!
I agree with your pic on this!! I just seen yngwie I have great video and pics of him he loves the camera, it was jaw dropping , I'm istill in amazement , it was a phenomenal experience
I went to see him in Nottingham just prior to him flying out there to record this. Fantastic show.
I still have this VHS tape I bought when it came out..Yngwie at his best
His solo from 'Jet to Jet' on Alcatraz ' No Parole from RnR' album is My favorite of His.
I can listen to him all day long. Brilliant, never waining,time perfect.
Shredmaster Scott, I love your voice and expressions, man. You always Crack me up. Keep on Rocking 🤘
In my mind it's the binge and grab solo by Buckethead.
Because it's like he took every feel good Saturday morning I ever had as a kid and stuffed them all in to 1 bucket.
He showed me a brand new world of joy and happiness I never thought possible.
I've never been the same.
It's amazing how that guitar stayed in tune. More cowbell!
Yes the best solo! Yngwie is awesome. I only have wished I had fraction of his talent .
Far Beyond the Sun was ALWAYS my favorite solo - you are absolutely correct good Sir!
