Breaking Chords - Yngwie Malmsteen Arpeggio Overview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Here's the next episode of Breaking Chords with an overview of Yngwie Malmsteen's arpeggios.
I've had a lot of requests for Yngwie and figured I could start by taking a look at his unique approach of using classically-influenced arpeggios in his music, which is what this lesson contains. I've had a lot of students over the years ask about Yngwie and his approach to shredding through arpeggios, and I feel that this lesson exposes some of his secrets in detail and puts several of his favorite arpeggio-based ideas into your hands.
This lesson features several exercises/examples to help you get a visual and performance grip with using arpeggios in a minor key and tonality, along with introducing various diminished/diminished seventh arpeggios and sounds. You'll find that Yngwie love blending minor arpeggios with diminished varieties, not to mention also blending minor arpeggios with dominant seventh arps, which would tap into a harmonic minor-flavored sound.
This lesson also features a number of licks and ideas from several of Yngwie's classic songs and material, including licks and phrases that use some of this material from his historic albums such as Rising Force, Trilogy, and Odyssey.

Hello David. Back in the 80's, when I was at a friends party, I heard Black Star blaring from his stereo. I was blown away. I had to find out who, what, how and when I could get my hands on that album/cassette. In 84, I believe, My friends and I went to see Yngwie in concert with special guest Talas,(Billy Sheehan)and I think Riot. After the concert we met Yngwie and the band at a hotel. Yngwie and Jeff Scott Soto were tired and went on to their room. Marcel Jacob, (R.I.P.) and the Johannson brothers were hungry. We ended up taking them to Whataburger, (the nearest burger joint). We returned to the hotel parking lot and chatted a while. They were the coolest, funniest Swedish guys you could ever meet. Thanks for this lesson David. Rock on!
Thank You for ur Post
Great vid! Also really nice hearing some nice words about Yngwie 😊
I think Yngwie completed the trifecta of most influential guitarists. Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and finally Yngwie. Yngwie ushered in the neo classical sound. He brought with it technical playing and brought it to a new level. He opened up the possibilities of major, minor, the modes, arpeggios, and of course speed. It really was the final frontier. All these guitar players on RUclips sporting their speed are paying homage to Yngwie really. Masters such as Petrucci talk of his influence. Yngwie gets a bad rap as a one trick pony, but those people are so very wrong. Vai played with him and says he is very feeling...coming from Vai that's enough for me. Plus he has written one of the top five metal albums ever in Rising Force Marching Out!!!! Amazing amazing amazing album. Brilliant.
Who would give a thumbs down for this or any of Davids impressive videos ,hmmm mabe jealous people who dont appreciate his talent and thorough understanding of theory and music.
They probably thought that the thumb down meant download 😎
@@primaballerina84 lol sounds about right !
You dare's to give you a "thumbdown" ? so good this is.
Great lesson, always looking forward to each new Late Night video. AWESOME work
Best lesson channel there is...His skill, speed and lazer note articulation is mind blowing. However, after 2-3 minutes I've had enough...
David...you are a marvelous individual and an incredible musician. Besides the fantastic lessons you present, the single 'other' biggest reason I love this channel is waiting to see what picture you are going to place just above the monitor. I think that is so cool. I never see anyone else comment on it, but I just get a kick out of it! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Yngwie saw a violinist playing Niccolo Paganini's 24 Caprices on TV in Sweden as a young teenager, and combined with a tape player he practiced to that had a motor that ran too fast... is where he first developed his style, and is why he plays so fast.
Best Regards 🎸
Can’t wait to get home and play. Thanks bro 👍🎸🎼
Thanks, David. I'm a drummer who really started obsessing about playing guitar after watching the bootleg VHS tape of Yngwie LIVE with Alcatrazz in Japan! I now have it on DVD! Thanks so much for this!
really cool video, thank
Great lesson! This will keep me occupied a few weeks :-). Thank You
Yngwie (More is More) took classical rock to new level. Damn Dave you do it so effortlessly, very inspiring. Another great one.
I always learn something from watching your videos. Thank you for teaching.
+1 on the Trilogy album - i had a respect for Yngwie before that album hit, but that was the one that broke it open and made him a guitar god - memorable songs with neo-C shred - looooooved it!
Another great lesson. Malmsteen is one of my favorites. I love that Dark Ages lick!
Awesome as always! Love the Channel!!! YNGWIE J MALMSTEEN!!! Glad to see the Videos
He was very musical and melodic with his arpeggios. This was a great great break down of that in my opinion!
Awsome lesson!!! Thank you David!!!
Thank you! I really get a lot from your videos. You explain these concepts very well.
Most excellent lesson in arpeggios.thank you.
Awesome as always David!!!! I definitely enjoy watching the Late night Lessons Show!!!
I am so glad I stumbled upon you. THANKS
Great tutorial! More please and thank you for doing this one.
I just got our college when my former university's station played "Far Beyond the Sun," and the announcer couldn't pronounce his name, lol. Good stuff man.
I've only recently discovered your channel really learned a lot ! you are a great teacher !!
Awesome lesson David! And to address you last points I think your approach to these is excellent.
You do such an amazing job of making this kind of thing understandable. You’re a fantastic teacher, and I really appreciate your work! Thank you so much,
Fantastic David, many thanks! Merry Xmas!
Is yngwie full of himself? Yes. But he brings it. He's a badass. I don't have to live with him and put up with his inflated ego, so I'll admire and respect what he's done.🤘
David, that was quite simply, superb. Thank you : )I saw Yngwie play in 1985 at the Marquee Club in London. My ears are still ringing, it was that loud :)
I saw him 5 times front row.
I remember the time I first heard Malmsteen's "Rising Force" Album and was floored. I was 18 and had been playing since I was 12 and I realized how crap I was at playing guitar.
I was @ That Tour Concert In NYC ...
GAME CHANGER
Joe Lynn Turner
AMAZING WORK
Not YNGWIE"S Favorite BUT my FIRST INTRO into Neo Classic..and AMAZING
@@williamchiusano3185 awesome experience without doubt.
I really enjoy your teaching style. To me, it's true teaching (explaining the why's, what's, and how's) - most video lessons show you how, but you go much further and it's greatly appreciated! Subscribed!
David, what a great lesson! I loved how you broke Yngwei's arpeggio style playing into building blocks that are now made available for creative use in various compositions.
As an East Tennessean I love to see your Hike the Smokey Mountains T-Shirt. I so enjoy your videos they are easy to follow and its almost like you are sitting the same room.
Awesome work!!
Thanks David. What helped me here is the way you explained the connections harmonically and then demonstrated the pieces of the arpeggios in the different positions. By the end of the lesson I was understanding the sequences on the fretboard in a way I hadn't previously been able to. That is a real gift...now I've just gotta get my fingers working a bit faster to catch up with my ears! Thanks so much.
You are the best. Great lesson
Brilliant lesson David the detail is so very helpful. I can certainly hear Ritchie Blackmore .......so pleased I stumbled on your lessons all those months ago,a Big Thank you for the help you have given me and many others with these superb unique snapshot lessons ,you're A1 buddy . Hope you enjoy a wonderful Christmas with your family and have a very Happy and peaceful New Year.I 'll raise a glass to you .☺️
Wow this lesson is so rich! I went back to the paperboard and tried to understand all these chord progressions, and when I did, I felt incredibly motivated! Thanks!
Love this lesson,Malmsteen changed the game but as far as songwriting go s his first four albums were killer.Love his vibrato,tone and he has chops for days.Thanks Dave! As Above,So Below,my favorite Malmsteen tune!
Yngwie is fast, accurate and a his creative arrangements of complexities wow us, he definitely is a great composer and produces amazing music. But I have noticed in his latest albums he no longer has the same technique and original style, as if he has lost something along his way (IMO). Is it just me, or do all of you hear the difference in his style?
Super late night lesson. I love using yjm’s highway!!! Legend!!!
Thank you for sharing
Just fascinating lesson so inpiring not just licks but an evplanation how music theory helps to create quality music
You actually have a lot of the sound too, awesome vid!
Yet another killer lesson
You are a god! All bow before Brewster!
Killer lesson!!
Man I would hit "like" a hundred times if it made a difference! You sir, are one great teacher!
There goes the awesome Brewmaster again.
Dude is just Yngwie-ing his way up and down the fretboard like it's nothing to do on a Sunday morning. So awesome bro.
I majored in jazz in college, but I get sooooo much from your lessons. Respect! Thank you!!
Hmm, maybe I get sooooo much from your lessons BECAUSE I studied previously. Haha. Great teacher for the intermediate and advanced player...
Vos explications sont au top ! je jouais tout ça techniquement à l'oreille sans recul du coup votre vidéo est vraiment utile pour moi un grand merci (=big thanks)
Nice job. This is the phrasing I’m learning from my guitar 🎸 teacher . Been an Yngwie fan since Alcatrazz
Awesome vid Dave. Once again, I just wanna grab my guitar!
*Your playing is tight & clean. Unlike most peeps who try to play shreddy.*
Man Dave, you definitely have skills. Thank God this channel was in my recommendations. (That's a long word) This breakdown made me appreciate YM even more. No I didn't add the J to his monogram, considering how many Yngwie Malmsteens there are in the world, we knew which one this lesson was covering.
Great breakdown 👍 as always!
Thx for the great video🤘🔥
😂 Blues is a challenge for me. I started with punk, then thrash, then studied classical & Flamenco.
Yngwie’s stuff makes sense to me (although I wish he would slow down more often), but I struggle with trying to play blues, because it is loose & flowing. I’m so used to playing in a very structured manner.
See my post on why Yngwie plays so fast. 🤟
Scott Dunn, yeah. I guess habits are difficult to break unless you really put serious effort to do so.
I’m so used to stiff wrist palm mute riffing or classical finger picking that I struggle with strumming from the elbow & or shoulder like some blues players do.
Love Your Posts ..

Grounded Approach..
It is Especially Important to Young Aspiring Musician's..

YNGWIES MEMIORS
Since i been learning from you my playing has progressed very well thank you
I truly believe his teaching style is easy to absorb. It's more old school and has a more intimate vibe to it. His patreon page for tab is pretty helpful too and helps me with a note or two I may miss from just watching or listening to the videos.
Thanks man great vid
Thanks Dave ! the three strings arpeggios is a trademark of YJM style
Another great lesson! Thank you : ) Shout out to the North Shore, I grew up there!
Ok. I met Yngwie during Alcatrazz.
We seriously hung out for close to a half-hour. It was a trip!
I was with members of the band I was playing in at the time. Two of them were huge fans of New England (John Fannon more specifically), the band which Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo were in prior... So we're all standing outside the bus talking to these dudes.
It's the other guitarist and myself.
I brought up being a huge fan of Silver Mountain (Jens Johansson's pre-Rising Force band)... So he starts showing us all these pictures from the studio (He'd just recorded the Rising Force record). Eventually he brings out this Aria guitar (he just got an endorsement) and hands it to us. We're like..." Uh...cool."
Talk about an intimidating scene. Haha. He was totally cool then... It's interesting how he's since got this rep for being such an asshole. I'm sure he was for awhile. Haha.
Thanks for putting up some lessons with better visual demonstrations and explanations that aren’t like a physics lesson in Mandarin.... 🎸👍🏼
The last lick is from Deja Vu, killer riff. Nice lesson!
it works becuase A harmonic minor and A Harmonic MAJOR
has overlaping full diminished
B, D, F, G#....F dim into F# harmonic min or F#min/A MAJOR
Harmonic Major is just ion b6
If you play C Harmonic MAJOR..it's G mix b2
A harmonic min it's E mix b2, b6
A melodic min D mix #4 E mix b6...
if you play the N6 or N6
Harmonic min b2....or melodic min b2...
You could make the b2 chord Maj7 or dominant...
A min...Bb7....
If you play F dim into F# min/A Major
F# min...G Maj/G7....F# min...E7 into A min....then play the Bb Maj too lol
A min Bb Maj...G Maj... A min......get a motifff going.
Then do a full diminished run from the A dim...
C dim D# dim into the E phrygian dominant into A minor...lmao
@@oneeyemonster3262 Uh huh.
David,
I’d love to see you do some lessons on chord progressions and variations in music.
😊🙏
OK, Subscribed, You know things I must!
Bravo Maestro! By all means, please let's spend hours, days and even weeks exploring Yngwie's arpeggios from his earlier works...please!
You’re the real like David Van Driessen!!! And ironic that you’re teaching right now! Great video
Do you play with low action? Sounds awesome!!!!!
Cool lesson. I remember hearing Trilogy for the first time in the 80’s. Totally blew me away. Never heard anything like it before.
Have you tried a scalloped fretboard?
Yngwie songs people don’t know but should check out:

LATE NIGHT LESSONS, thanks for the yngwie lesson I have been waiting for awhile for you to make it. I like the last lick because this is how yngwie use to play in his early songs with harmonic minor with 7ths notes added lines mixed with arpeggios. There is many youtube videos showing yngwies arpeggios but not many videos showing his unique harmonic minor lines he did in his early albums.
Frank Zappa just came out with the Hot Rats boxset 6 Cds. Dweezil Zappa has learned some very advance techniques from his dads music. Any chance on making a Dweezil Zappa lesson in the future. he has lessons on youtube check them out if you like advance technical guitar phrasing. Dweezil Zappa is playing the whole Hot Rats album live this years and the advance phrasing of notes of how they sequence note patterns.
I can really appreciate your interest and obvious respect for classical music while lifting up all these monster rock/metal guitarists. I am a hobby guitarist who has been taking classical lessons for about 8 years but still love to play electric much to the irritation of my teacher who is a classical purist. Wanted to throw out two possible guitarists to do a, "Three for All" - Barry Bailey of Atlanta Rhythm Section, one of most underrated players of the 70s. His solo on Spooky is phenomenal and contains a whole slew of tasty licks. Another guy to maybe consider is Brad Gillis of Night Ranger. I loved his work when he filled in for Randy Rhoads on Speak of the Devil, but he has some very cool stuff on his own. Thanks again! love your channel!
Agreed! Even his tone on SOTD raises my arm hairs. Brad was also pretty young when he toured with Ozzy, (24 I think) He looked older. Great guitarist.
This is great. Have you done a lesson on John McLaughlin yet?
Awesome lesson!!!!! Maybe the chords and solis of Y&T.......Dave M. very underrated guitar player!!!!!
This is the kind of music I am trying to learn. Baroque is pretty much my only musical interest at this time.
I know this isn't the right place for a request, but another unsung hero came to mind: Doug Aldrich. If you haven't already, check out his 2004 live solo with Whitesnake. He comes out BLARING. Definitely worth checking out.
Ok, that is all. If I don't visit again before Xmas, I wish you and everyone here a 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄 and be safe 👍
I first heard Yngwie when No Parole dropped with Alcatrazz, I was floored, shocked, horrified! Bonnet's voice had the same effect.. Those were some great years musically following up the 70's era.. Where did it all go?
hey brother great breakdown of the nuances of yngwies style besides just his speed a lot of people over look the fact that he actually knows his shit
As much as he’s full of himself & gives Roth, Dimeola, Etheridge, etc no respect whatsoever his Vibrato Is world class!
True, he's got the personality of a Pro Wrestler lol, but who knows maybe Ritchie Blackmore and Hendrix were the same, but were smart enough not to talk so much, but your right vibrato is epic and I personally love his tunes too, I grew up on Rainbow, Dio, etc.,
I knew that semester of music theory I took in 12th grade would pay off!
He said Dark ages waa from Rising Force :) mistakes happen. Wonderful lesson!
Idk if you do more modern bands but an Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom lesson would be awesome 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
Thanks, I like getting familiar what Yngwie (or anybody) does.
On the other hand I don't like listening to it for a long time.
I mean I love his first 5 albums, but after them, those perfect lightning fast licks just became boring (which is much better than AC/DC that became boring after 2 albums).
Some musician said "he would be more interesting if he could leave out some notes once in a while". After seeking, finding and hearing the fastest runs possible, I totally agree. Today they seem the fastest and most unnecessary runs.
You can also make them longer by adding tapping alla Tony MacAlpine.
⭐⭐⭐
Ha... Same thing with me and VH. Heard YJM and I was crushed there was a guy technically better than my hero Eddie. YJM can't touch VH's song writing though.
I love both Yngwie and Eddie, but in many ways, Eddie is more WTF-mindblowing than Yngwie where Yngwie's stuff is amazing, but fairly straightforward. I totally love them both, though!
@@voronOsphere Yeah they both took guitar to the next level in their time. I know Eddie made Yngwie better, Eddie and Yngwie made Paul Gilbert better, etc, etc..
How do you get that tone?
Hi,
**** Chord / Arpeggio Tricks
1) Raise the “root” note of any Dominant 7th chord a half step and you get a Diminished 7th chord form.
2) Lower Any note of a Diminished 7th chord shape and that note becomes the root name of a Dominant 7th Chord shape.
😉👋
**** Chord Shape must have the respective 1, 3, 5, 7 tones present.
You give great lesson but it is very difficult to learn without having some tabs to see these shapes
Got tabs
Wow with those first three arpeggios you already sound like Malmsteen.
Nobody sound like Malmsteen
Well those sound like arpeggios he would use.
@@MisterPoppy-sc1sj sadly, even modern Malmsteen doesn't either.
@@dariopuig1999 he sound good
They always say the guy sounds the same but he doesn't repeat too often. #7 #8 was great lol
Great lesson. Arpeggios have always been a weak spot for me. I never had the patience to practice them properly. Even worse, as a young player in the Bay Area in the late 80's, I was bored to death by metal/thrash bands with Skolnick clones shredding top-end arpeggios in every song. I do wish I had spent more time on them but not that much. That's why I never got my Shred Club membership card.
All the best from the Bay.
MK
I thought you were playing the Dirge fore a second lol!
It seems most of Malmsteen stuff is done tuned down 1/2 step. Any reason?
There is the theory among many guitarists that the Fender Stratocasters held their tune better when tuned down a half step.
