  • What's the greatest guitar solo of all time? Many people think it's Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", but is that really true? You may not have heard Yngwie Malmsteen's, "Far Beyond The Sun" live with the Japanese Philharmonic Orchestra. This is an incredible performance that should be required viewing for guitarists. Yngwie must have had a donut sugar buzz going because fleet fingered, fretboard firework is at level 666. Could it be that lord Malmsteen sold his soul to the devil for these outrageous chops? Sweep picking, diminished chords, harmonic minor scales, neoclassical harmony....it all comes together for a flawless showcase of superior musicianship.
    Level up your ability to solo over chord progressions like Yngwie with my full course below. It's time to equip your fingers with the right knowledge and technique to unlock your TRUE potential muhahaha

    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.

    • @forelectricstring8833
      @forelectricstring8833 11 месяцев назад

      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.

    • @forelectricstring8833
      @forelectricstring8833 11 месяцев назад

      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.

    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.

    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!

    Something I don't think enough people acknowledge: That guitar has a scalloped neck, as does *every* other guitar he plays; you can see how the space between frets is carved out, making the frets look raised. Slightly too much or too little pressure on a string, and he's out of tune. He's playing all that with perfect speed, rhythm, *pressure,* and pitch. Truly a six string legend.

    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 love Yngwie but this is not his finest moment
    Classical musicians at this level play with the very best soloists in the world and as such probably had an interesting time working a
    E(d) composer with a much more free timed and repetitive vocabulary
    Compared to other rockers and shredders YJM is a stand out fascination but compared to the great soloists and composers in the genre he barely kept his head above water
    Think of the strongest lifter at your gym competing in the Olympics both impressive and disappointing at the same time
    That being said I have and cherish this dvd, I love Yngwie’ style and can play the library after more that 35 years of effort but Jason Becker, Vinnie Moore, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai among others are in that mix of learning and performing the best guitar music ever written
    IMHO

      Agreed, when YJM is playing against a wall of rock and metal his instrument sounds extremely polished, it’s a great contrast given distorted rhythm guitars and crashing cymbals, I think our ears simply were not used to hearing that combination which made it unique but against a full orchestral support it lacks a bit as a soloist compared to other soloists in the classical genre, but to us rockers and shredders it is still great

    I have to laugh, "this orchestra adds a lot to Yngwie's music..." I'm sure the orchestra has played everything up to 5:10 many times since the intro is the 4th Violin Concerto by the one and only Paganini, followed by Adagio in G Minor by Albinoni. With that said, Far Beyond the Sun is a masterpiece.

  • @athlonen
    @athlonen Год назад +3

    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.

  • @riffsthatkill2180
    @riffsthatkill2180 Год назад +2

    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.

    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.

    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.
