  • Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords of Yngwie Malmsteen.
    The recent Breaking Chords episode was well-received and it sounded like it helped several of you with some chord/arpeggio breakthroughs, so I figured taking a look at Yngwie's chord-based ideas/progressions would be a good thing to target next, especially while your fingers are warmed-up and these ideas are already bouncing around in your head.
    This lesson tackles several of Yngwie's classic rhythm parts and features a number of things that should help you see how you can target specific single notes and chords which will signal or imply specific tonalities and/or modal sounds - such as Harmonic Minor or Phrygian (for example).
    The examples presented here come from classic albums such as Rising Force, Marching Out, Trilogy, and Odyssey - and there's plenty here to keep your fingers busy when you tackle this lesson, featuring some fan-favorites such as 'Magic Mirror,' 'Little Savage,' 'Dreaming (Tell Me),' and much more!
    Good luck with this one, leave some comments and feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!

      And eddie new it. Ed dodged yjm foerever when they were at the same functions/events. Ed finally met up with someone who was light years away from him as eric clapton found out in 66 when jimi hendrix invaded england. I love ed, he had his thing but on a serious guitar level yjm raised the bar and and blossomed a rock neo classical shred genre that continues to this day. No yngwie no shred heros you know and love today. Ed was a technique...yngwie was a genre. Thank god for both!!!

    Really love your videos, David, keep 'em coming. Never been a fan of Yngwie myself, actually I only started liking his stuff recently, but anyone who's practised the guitar has to realise he's one of the best. Ok, he repeats himself, he likes playing fast, a lot, etc, etc, but, come on, he created a school of his own, with so many guys being inspired by him. And he's still flawless on the instrument. He deserves respect.

    Rising Force was the first Yngwie cassette I bought. I listened to it over and over trying (and failing) to learn some of the songs. This one holds a special place for me and instantly takes me back to a time long ago when I was a teenager sitting in my room with my Charvel guitar. My parents were still alive…music can be so powerful in its ability to transport you back in time and recall memories.

  • @wasichu66
    @wasichu66 4 года назад +2

    Great album indeed. Trilogy was Yngwie's first blossom into melodic songs, yet there is that rawness to it that remains gripping as you say. Arguably, and aside from his first album which is a category in itself, end even though both albums with Joe Lynn were really good, from a musical pov, I think "Fire and Ice" may well be his best album ever, great songs, great melodies, and possibly his best band lineup. The downhill slide started after that, slowly at first, and then it just snowballed, to a point now where all he does is record the same old covers in his living room and calls that an album. As a fan for 40 years, sadly I find he has done nothing even vaguely exciting for almost 20 years...

    Great lesson(s) on Yngwie, Ive been a huge fan since the Steeler album. I agree about Trilogy being a fav album, but those first 3 albums are just steller. I go through a phase of relearning a bunch of Yngwie songs every 2-3 years, it always starts with reacquainting myself with Trilogy Suite (every damn time I mix up the arraignment). Yngwies tone has primarily been based around Marshall Plexi 5o watt heads with a DOD 308 pedal/preamp pushing the front from a stock Strat, later the SD/dimarzio pickups would be added.
    Show idea ---> perhaps you could focus on a single album and pick your way through each track finding the most interesting ideas chord/melody/technique etc.
