“When Yngwie is on, nobody does it better”. Couldn’t agree more Troy. Awesome lesson.
It's the style He invented, and every metal guitarist owes him a debt of gratitude! Just like we owe Hendrix and EVH debts of gratitude.
@@siggmundfloyd1858 lol it’s a GUITAR STYLE that didn’t exist before. He apples techniques from classical Violinists and Pianists to his instrument, creating a new style.
@@tonyrobertsguitarapples? 🍎 Don't you mean *applies*?🤔
You are very talented. I wish I could even come close. Yngwie is my favorite of all time .Full Stop.
One of the things that just amazes me with Yngwie's playing that you touched on a bit. I can play fours and chunk up the neck, but listening to it played back it is very obvious that I am chunking up the neck. Yngwie's is so smooth that when I first heard it I felt the same way. I understood fours, but it never sounded like Yngwie was moving up one string. For example, Perilous Nation by Testament it sounds very obvious to me that Alex is playing fours up the neck on one string. Anyway, still amazes me after all these years.
Troy is just unbelievable in both his playing and his analysis of Yngwie's playing! Fantastic videos.
You're an amazing teacher. I've simply never seen anything like your attention to detail, especially when explaining those tiny little techniques that nobody has ever bothered to explain before in a systematic learnable way. I tip my hat to you my friend.
Ding Dion Thanks! If we can add to the conversation, or help spark new ones, we're happy to do it.
Awesome as always, Troy! Plus that nicely coincided with the ascending 4's Weekend Wankshop I posted yesterday ;) !
Ben Eller Thanks Ben! Everybody please go watch Ben's most recent upload for your weekly dose of neoclassical single-string engineering, and shaking-it-like-a-polaroid-picture early naughts hip hop pop culture vulturing. You can also get a of Ben playing a rather cool axe made from un-guitaristic materials, which is a luthiery choice that I would think we'd be seeing more of by now than we actually do.
***** I love seeing this: 2 dudes that are forkin' bad-A's on the GD guitar giving each other due respect and helping each others channel. FAR too many guitarists on, say, Facebook's * insert guitar page name here * do nothing but badmouth every other guitarist, whether they've been playing for 1 week or 137 years--even the wee lads and lasses catch no breaks... never a kind word, and DAMN sure nary a bit of advice. Troy and Ben, you GD dudes MFing rawk in more ways than 2 or 3. Just wanted to say thanks to you both for not being ego-dickus maximusses.... maximi? Whichever... thanks!
Genius Troy's true love for his passion of guitar and music. He's a professor of sorts. One of a kind. These new guitarist have it made with folks like Troy out here guiding them step by step. Consider your self very lucky.
No idea why this channel doesn't have more views. One of the best tutorials of anything on the internet. Period. Especially the animations in the cracking the code series absolutely blow it out of the park.
The "I'll see the Light Tonight" music video was actually shot on the Universal Studios Tour LIVE "Conan the Barbarian" stage stunt show. I saw it in California a year or two earlier! Great Volcano Lesson!!!!
Troy, you are such an excellent teacher with the skills to match! People in this world like me, need someone like you to bring us out of the bubble that keeps me where I am stuck. Thanks man.
Yngwie never thought this all out theoretically like this. He thought, composed, played and stunned every guitarists on the planet. Good job btw explaining all this.
Nah. He thought of what he was doing back then very much. That didn't came from nothing, he just didn't focus on guitar only. He came from a musician family and wanted to put the concepts of playing violin to guitar
You are absolutely the best serious guitar lovers' resource on RUclips. Spectacular content, as always Troy.
You’re so ridiculously great, Troy!
Finaly, someone who explains malmsteen very well! Congrats!!!
Once again, just great! Thank you very much Troy!
Greetz from Athens and keep shreddin' and teachin'! :)
You're the best guitar teacher. Thank you for the light \m/
amazing work with your videeos, know that we appreciate these contributions.
Hi, Troy i just wanted to thank you for the killer lessons I've been playing for 20+ and i have to say wow i just got the month to month membership and it is everything you could want i love learning the licks but the real gem is the the alternet picking its something that seems simple but in reality it is Not this is the best in-depth breakdown ever of playing styles and over all playing cornerstone that will make you a better player, I thank you if i would of had this 20+ years ago OMG but here's to the next 20 we are truly in the golden age of guitar information and this is the best I have found anywhere!!!
Excellent video Troy !!
great job as always Troy ! thank you bro !
great, great video! love it.
Your an amazing dude!...thank you
I saw Tony Mac Alpine ,at a clinic in the early 90s ,where he played the first album songs ,like "the Raven" I noticed Tony's version of the ascending fours was to go up and up until the last 2 strings ,where there would be a position shift from 12th position to 17th position
I have to say, in all honesty, that Cracking the Code has helped me immensely in my playing. I hit a wall a while back that I haven't been able to get past, regardless of how many hours I spent practicing. It turns out that the issues addressed on this channel was EXACTLY the problem! I've been aware of the necessity of combining alternate and economy picking (fortunately I've had the pick angle and that stuff down since way back, at least), but not to what extent. When I started examining my difficulties, I discovered that the licks and patterns where I got stuck and couldn't evolve my speed and precision were those where I tried to switch strings after an incorrect down- or up-stroke (among other things). Amazing... The way you've put all this knowledge into a highly efficient and easy-to-understand system is really awesome. Thanks! :)
Ditto!
great video lessons.... yngwie had a huge influence on me.
Pretty Cool video, thanks for posting this video.
Now to break down some of Yngwie's Signature Show Moves, the around the neck guitar flip.
Ihatemyusernamemore I had some that pulled the screw from the body lol.
+Archer 250
Ha!
Back in the 80's I used to do that with my Flying V... No straplocks! Scared the shit+ outta me the first time but after that, it's so easy to make look easy! 🎸
First time I tried the around the neck guitar flip, the guitar whipped around and slammed into the back of my hip. Not cool.
cable55 55 don't forget his karate kick!
Thank you for doing this so thouroughly, btw!
yngwie is always on! \m/
I was just thinking, its a shame Yngwie never plays the same solos live. I appreciate the talent he has when it comes to improvising but for me I want to hear EVERY note that is on the record. Still, how he managed to capture those solos while improvising is mind blowing!
Owen Grech when he wanks live he says he just gets bored. it still a treat to see him play. He has a very good ear and some rumors say perfect pitch. ive seen him tune while playing i think.
When Yngwie is at his best, there’s noone even near him. It’s a shame he isn’t there anymore but when he used to be in the god zone, no one got close. Mid 80s Yngwie live videos pre accident… unreal. The fire in his playing…,
Yup this was my first song back in the day.. loved it! Troy, when are you going to get Yngwie himself on your show :)
Nice! This is the first Yngwie Song/Solo that I learned when I was 14yo
14 eh?
I had a friend like that. Never touched an axe, hibernated for about 6 months and came out an Eddie clone. I was 18, playing almost 5 years and he was running circles around me.... I hated him after that!!!
Kidding... I was soooo jealous of his aptitude but he even told me. His secret was pick mechanics but I just didn't get it in my little universe of hammer on's and pull off's.
✌
Yngwie should watch this... he might learn a thing or two about his own playing
Yeah
I've always been curious if Yngwie has ever given Troy any feedback. Seems he'd be suitably impressed with both Troy's dissecting approach and the effectiveness of his instructional techniques.
Did YJM develop his tools by aptitude or by design or both?
well done again ! haha @ Rocketship salute :) kinda describes it perfectly :)
very nice
Every time I watch a video by Troy, it makes me want to pick up my guitar. it's confusing at times, at least for me, but it's still infectious.
The definition of genius - discovering something that seems blindingly obvious... but only after it's been discovered!
I've been playing guitar for ~40 years and had got into a real rut. Could never work out why certain picking patterns were like butter, and others felt like pushing mud uphill with a pointed stick. It made playing the guitar really frustrating and put me off picking the damn thing up.
So thanks Troy, your vids have been an enormous service to pickers like me everywhere.
PS: I noticed in one vid you said you used to use the trailing edge of the pick, but moved to using the leading edge after seeing that was how Yngwie did it. Do you ever use the trailing edge now? Would you advise anyone using trailing edge to switch to leading edge?
That crazy set Yngwie had on that video. Was from the Conan the Barbarian movie set. I read that in Yngwie's biography.
Not sure if I wrote this before, but everything in the Ill see the light tonight video is the set for the movie with Arnold, this fantasy one, I can't remember the title though, you all watched it; I read it somewhere
The 'volcano' unit is also used later in the solo in the ascending run just before the key change to c# minor. Also, there's a similar run at the very end of Overture 1383 (also on marching out) where the unit appears 3 times in the ascending lick before running up the neck in 4s. Its funny that when I started alternate picking in early 80s, I instinctively swept over the 2 strings like this when alternate picking would use an ascending-outer string cross, but I also angled the pick in both directions so did 2 up-strokes where alternate picking would use an descending-outer string cross. Later I considered it a mistake and it took a long time to unlearn it and replace it with strict alt. picking. However, now I'm going to revive it and use both styles.
Great stuff! Who will you focus on after Yngwie and Eric Johnson?
This video was the reason I wanted a guitar many yrs ago, before my parents relented and give me what I wanted I used to emulate his finger motions in front of the mirror with a garbage no brand axe with only two strings... It didn't matter though, b'cause in ma head I was on that stage bedazzling everyone..lol...
hey troy, what is the hardest piece that you ever played in terms of strict alternate picking?
ok I'm going to get my homework done and get it done so i get good grade. Huh troy came out with new vid and its about yngwie ig i can play guitar tonight and just do homework tomorrow
2:36 Troy how many times is finishing on a G string considered healthy, per week let's say?
does a compressor help with keeping note separation, like say arpeggios?
im guessing that one of the reasons you like the jazzmaster is the volume knob is out of the way
Troy, these videos are amazing and are helping me so much! Question: After 28 years, I have come to the conclusion that the Stylus pick teaches you to not use too much of the pick surface, but it does not solve all picking problems. What is your opinion of the Stylus pick? Did you ever try it? I wish had these videos all these years-I feel like I am getting out of the stone age of picking instruction by just watching your explanations of how everything works. :)
Joseph Bond We've addressed the "small motions" myth a number of times. A small movement is not automatically correct, and it's not any closer to correct either. It's just quieter. You'd never tell a drummer or pianist to use the smallest possible movements at all times, and you shouldn't tell your guitar player that either!
I think that video about Marty Friedman would be awsome
I see the light tonight video was shot on the set on Conan The Barbarian. .Yngwie mentions this in hes book.
why is the tuning going back and forth between down a whole step and standard? Am I losing what's left of my mind?
Are your videos about explaining Malsmteen or about yourself?
Thanks
The video scene was actually the set of previously made movie... I think it was Conan The Barbarian. They left it on display at Universal Studios Hollywood for tours. I was there and seen it about 30 years ago.
Cozzmos No kidding! If that was the Conan set then I seriously remiss in not knowing that. The practical effects on that movie are legendary and a ton of great people involved.
***** I just looked it up. I'm not sure if it was used in the movie but it was called "The adventures of Conan a sword and sorcery spectacular." It ran from 1983 to 1993 at Universal Studios. There are videos of it here on youtube.
Cozzmos Amazing! I'm watching them now -- they basically cribbed the entire stage show and turned it into a rock video. Genius. Great detective work there.
hey troy, could you make a in depth video about batio's picking tecnique?
I think there already is a big lesson on him at the cracking the code site.
Hey Troy. Are style of Yngwie fits for all types excesses Alternet?
Guy Elyahu Hi! Yngwie's style is very specific, and you must arrange your licks on the fretboard specifically to take advantage of it. We outline what these rules are in the Cracking the Code, Season 2, Episode 2, "Inside the Volcano", which you can watch right here on our channel!
Is that hammer actually from a Seymour Duncan?
Has anybody actually applied this and got it up to speed? I've been trying this for so long but still fall short
There was the odd video knocking around on U-tube of this young kid in his bedroom who played it note for note although slightly rushed but still very impressive. You need to analyse where you go wrong and then set up a practice regime around that specific area so you can repeatedly play the same part. This will develop muscle memory in that specific part of your playing. It's all about muscle memory and so you need to start thinking about this whenever you practice. Many players don't know how to practice and then wonder why they put the hours in but they stay in the same place developmentally. Hope this helps:)
Which style fits Pick of Yngwie?
Guy Elyahu I think he used economy at least you can play every malmsteen phrase with economy. Try that technic when you ascent used downward pickslanding and when you decent use your thumb to change to upward pickslanding
I saw Yngwie open for Dio, and I’m pretty sure he borrowed Dio’s stage to make that video. I remember the dragon for sure, and the drum rider at the top of the curving staircases. Yngwie wasn’t using that stuff on the tour though
Who give the name volcano patern?
Hey Troy whats the radius and fret size on your Mustang, and does radius screw with you at all? I notice you play short scale instruments in all the videos that I've watched of yours, does the string tension or the fret distance help your playing? Have you ever played a Rickenbacker 325? It has a 21" scale with as many frets. I have, well, Japanese-size hands, and sometimes have hand and wrist tension when doing wide interval stuff, but feel crowded on a shorty, most have low-ish frets, and I haven't found many friendly (to me) radii on short-scale production guitars.
Mike DeGroff Hi Mike! On a properly set up guitar, even an extreme radius (by guitar standards) like 7.25" on an old Strat or Mustang, is essentially negligible. The height difference between the strings will be small compared to the picking movements themselves. Re: scale length, it's also not something I specifically worry about. The three guitars I use most often are three different scale lengths, from 24" to 25.5".
You don't run into problems doing wide bends on smaller radius necks? Even on some CS Vintage Fenders I've played, some notes on the high e above the 12th would choke out on bends over a whole step, and I always attributed it to the radius. Also the tiny frets allow more of my finger-meat rub the board, and combined with open-pored rosewood makes bending brutal. Maybe I should just learn to slide. One moar ting... Do you plan on making a more in depth series with the Magnet on hybrid picking techniques, similar to Tom Quayle and Marshall Harrison?
Mike DeGroff Hi Mike. I haven't really run into the bending issue though I'm generally familiar with the complaint so I'm sure it's a thing. Re: hybrid picking, the Marshall Harrison interview has a good deal of this, and it's all tabbed out in the download pack.
I really belive that if you learn cross and economy picking you can play anything.
Troy Grady --- do you no longer reply to these things ? Granted i came her a year ago and my playings improved greatly but i am wondering about the time you spent building speed even the u discovered the correct picking --- did u spend time again with the metronome given that the pick may have been new even to u... ?
Im a late comer here ... Plz if ya get a moment
+Franky Murphy Nope I've never used a metronome. I'm not really above average fast, and my speed has not changed much since I was a teenager. Accuracy is what has changed, due to learning the hand movements necessary to switch strings cleanly. Every ten years I learn something new about accuracy that takes my playing to a whole other level. It can happen!
I guess I finally figured this out... Huh my
My first Yngwie song was Black Star and I love it. I never really liked this song. When he's playing the lead, to me, it honestly sounds like two different songs playing at the same time.
Do you find having your guitar strap so short helps you with this kind of playing? I ask because I find standing up and trying to play these segments considerably more difficult, or at least, different than playing them sitting down. I've thought it was something to do with the length of my strap changing the angle to which my hands fret and strum the notes, but I see many professional guitarists that have their guitars midsection level or lower. Thoughts?
MostLikelyMortal Not for the picking hand, no. In fact, super low Ramones-style (or Paul Gilbert-style, for that matter) guitar strap lengths can be comfortable for picking because that's where your hand naturally rests anyway, at belt / pocket height. Fretting hand is where the pain from low straps arises for me. Any time I have to bend my fretting wrist for extended periods it's dangerous and I steer clear.
MostLikelyMortal It may not matter for the picking hand, but wearing the guitar low is definitely detrimental to the ergonomics of the fretting hand. I think since a big part of the challenge is building coordination between the two hands, anything that interferes with the left hand will slow down your progress. Lots of popular guitar players wear them low because they've grown to think it looks cool, and they may be right. But if you look at rock bands from before mid-60s or modern jazz players, most of them have their guitars up high. I think the "low" guitar came about as part of 60s rock's stylistic rebellion against the perceived "up tight" norms of earlier generations.
+Troy Grady I try to find the middle ground standing up. Having the guitar too high makes my right shoulder tens, too low and I can't use stuff like pentatonic and diminished string skipping properly.
but but but,.... Yngwie plays a 21 fret strat....
Buddy of Troy Grady, you don't met a guitar to adjust?)))
damn... he has my old mustang
Have you heard that Malmsteen is selling art now? It's actually pretty nice looking. Don't know what they cost, probably a lot. yngwiemalmsteenart.com is the site. About this video, good player. I wonder if people tell hem he should do the vocals in a Rush tribute band, if he can sing. He could do Lee's vocals while playing Lifeson's guitar stuff. Somebody else could play bass.
4:42 I swear he was going to play the lick
Shane, I don't think think anyone can break down Marty's picking technique.
sammy reynolds I don't think Marty Friedman's technique is as strange as people make it out to be. He basically uses a forearm rotation mechanic with a gypsy style wrist, but with the "break" in the wrist positioned flatter against the guitar body than you usually see from gypsy jazz players. Extreme example of downward pick slanting. Beast of a player, clearly. Check out the series of videos he did with Guitar World's youtube channel in summer/fall 2014. I think his melodic choices are even more interesting than his technique.
severalpaperclips great videos for sure. I remember the one he did when talked about arpeggios and sweeping. When basically said sweeping was for showing off and nothing else, it pissed people off.
sammy reynolds just slap that camera on while Marty plays
Do a video about MICHAEL ROMEO
man, get down to Eb the tuning.
The lick at :24 is incorrect and not the way Yngwie plays it. I believe he played it all on the E string starting at fret 8 after the Am arp. It is easier to play that way. Other than that, great video.
Ed S. Why do you believe that?
Forzafurioso I do not believe it, that is how the lick goes. Listen on my channel. I transcribe music for a living.
Just wondering why Yngwie never played the solo live as the original on the mtv video? The live in japan was different however just as thrilling and spectacular but very different apart from the twin harpsichord/guitar baroque sequence at the beginning. I know many guitar players do it different live but I usually put this down to the fact they lack the skills to nail it live what they mustered up in a studio performance due to the fact you can keep recording until you get the best take, but in Yngwies case, he never lacked the skill to play the original version.
Mickeyislowd He improvises every single time, the one recorded is just another take.
I doubt that the studio versions are add-libs. There is definitely worked out a feel to the original from Marching Out. I know his live takes are 'off the cuff' so to speak but when Yngwie was questioned and slightly criticized about this he replied he didn't want to play the same solos over again as this is boring to him. The criticism was that the audience want to hear as per original or like how say Marty Friedman played Megadeth solos perfectly note for note. I tend to agree with the very well known Rising Force stuff and more so for Far Beyond The Sun which he barely plays any of the the original parts anymore...
I am a viking solo is a hard solo for me still havent mastered it yet. do a video on that please i subbed.
Yngwie was a great looking guy..still is...
Paul Stettler Yeah he’s just a little... you know, large...
???, I don't think so.
Ha! Finish your sentence.
Hey Troy, i just noticed, you look exactly like the lead singer from split enz! on the video/song "i dont know why sometimes i get frightened" .... check it out and you immeadiately,think your looking in the mirror! is that you?
Can't decide whether my hearing got worse, or you're out of tune.
Archer 250 Definitely out of tune! And partly intonation-related as well. That guitar just came back from a fret grind and polish so we should be in better shape.
***** That's a relief for me, then XD
+Archer 250 hey archer, by any chance are you talking about the back-to-back clips at 0:19 - 0:27? if so, i'm sure you already knew this but yngwie tunes down a half-step.
xRisingForcex
not at all. I find that Troy's guitar in this video sounded out of tune by itself. The intonation sounded off, basically
Archer 250 yup
looks like Yngwie holds the pick like me, not you.
He said a lot, but, as an explanation, he did not show anything intelligibly. It would be better to show boxing slowly from start to finish. In such lessons it is very important to see, not to listen to an explanation. But your work is huge. Yours faithfully!
Overplaying
Man!.. tune the guitar!
Bla bla bla bla bla 😒
Malmsteen does not Sweep Pick!
Yes Deadly!
Hunter- Go to 7:30 on Guitar Interactive Magazine issue 52
Talk toooo much ....straight to the point pls
he's talking way too fast , and his demonstrations are also brief ,making things sound over complicated , maybe he's presuming you can play it all ready , but I found that lesson frustratingly over complex for something that doesn't need to be over complicated ,
Nah, it just takes lots and lots of practice before you can come close.
Remember, this is Yngwie were talking about. There's no lesson to turn you into YJM. In fact, there's only one!
Work on your picking. If this stuff is unfamiliar, changing your picking mechanics must take place first. You cannot do this stuff without those habits, period. I've been building bad habits for many years. It took a couple months of hours a day. I still have my bad habits but those are my style and at high speed, they now disappear.
Downward and alternate pick slanting... Bread and butter!
Do your scales, start with his tutorials and know the material before moving to the next and be patient. You can't help but improve.
Rok on 🎸
Jon Mallary that sounds like me I had to change my picking mechanics I have so many bad happits and sloppy technique , one thing I found that helps is starting certain alternate pucking licks on an upstroke , that helps with some of the tricky cross string and inside out picking stuff on certain things . ,
And thank you for the advice , cheers mate.
If you watch Troy's Season 1 and II RUclips vids in the correct sequence, it will become MUCH clearer. He goes into exhaustive depth; you won't feel he's obfuscating anything, believe me.
+Gawain Davies
You are welcome!
One more thing.
The hand position Troy describes is crucial. Crucial!!!
Watch your picking hand not your fingering.
Cheers mate!
+BrotherDevious
Yup! Had I only known.
Waaaaah ;)
It's entertaining too. Cool graphics and Troy's story of his evolution.
You're correct! Then watch it again.
this guy focuses way too much on theory and upstrokes and downstrokes and BS. It really doesnt matter how you pick licks. he is always focused on technique and not the music
This guy, playing the cheese version of real players, the forced technique, underdeveloped right hand, just goes to show you with enough repetition even the most novice clowns get to pretend to be some kind of master picker, I remember these guys in Guitar Solo Clinics I did in LPW at GIT back in th late 1980's
Soulless noise.Write a song then come back.
