Yngwie took Violin passages and put them on the guitar, and then plays them really really fast. He does blaze thru scales but he's also playing Melodic Valiant violin runs. It's just after about 10 Minutes your head's gonna fall off. Like that The expresso Spanish drummer from hell, whatever his name is. After about 5 minutes, you just wanna f****** run him through with a sword to stop him.

​@@doormasterjohnclap clap 😅

​@@doormasterjohn El Estepario Siberiano on KZfaq, one of the greatest drummers alive and I hope he never stops

​@@doormasterjohnEl estepario Siberiano is his name. He's just copying as lot of Thomas Lang without any of the context or experience for making actual music. He says it himself, grass m he's a drummer but not a musician.

​@@doormasterjohnTo Yngwie defense. Have you ever heard Yngwie Play the blues. I have, live. For 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It's some if the body beautiful things I've ever heard. That only lasted about that time. Then back to Coke

Well the Rolling Stone magazine didn't include him in their list of the greatest 250 guitarists 🤦🏼‍♂️ They are absolute clowns. Guthrie wasn't in the list either.

Rolling Stone had a pregnant “man” on its cover enough said.

@@eddieruddock7014😂😂😂😢😂😂

@@eddieruddock7014 I didn’t know they excluded both. I was laughing at how ridiculous that notion was lol. Not at you

Exactly! That MF has made the hair on my arms stand up more than anyone. Just pure passion and ferocity ❤

True! His bends are wild. Perfectly executed every time!

😮 yeh his vibrato can emo yu Even if he does it subconcously that in an jnterview ,he says it came natural to him in his early days

​@@Yngsatchvai bravo when he does vibrato on Krakatau or Bite the Bullet or Intro to Disciples of Hell make u tear Then y finally feel from any guitarist or musicians ,true emotion congrats my fren

You get it dude🫵🙂

1000% agreed

it became mainstream to hate him partially because of his ego issues, partially due to the fact, let us be honest, his later works were subpar and essentially recycled the same licks/patterns over and over. But come on, one must be deaf to say he has no feel when "Suffer me", "Like an Angel", "Brothers" exist

@@andrewp.8278 Good points. I pretty much listen to his 80s albums, some tracks off Fire and Ice and Seventh Sign rock, always some hidden gems amongst the later regurge.

​@@ashleycooper7208fire and Ice, odyssey and eclipse have alot of great songs.

well. later in his career he kind of lost his feel

Rising Force Is the only album Yngwie ever needed to record. He twisted the head off of every guitar player on the planet. It's all he needed to do. He could have stopped at that point.

@@doormasterjohn thank God he recorded more than just that album 🤠

That and a couple of others are really solid and full of all his tricks and techniques.

❤❤❤ That's why Ingwie is such an amazing guitarist, because he plays intelligently and, unlike other guitarists, he plays very simply. Its secret of amazing and fast playing lies in 8 guage strings. This is what many guitarists do not want to accept and underestimate 8 guage strings. A lot of guitarists use standard 10's strings and their solos are like no solos. No felling, no technique and they can't play anything properly. That's why Ingwie is such an amazing guitarist, because he plays intelligently and, unlike other guitarists, he plays very simply.

For a lot of people. For the other half, not at all. Lotsa ppl perfectly happy in the vein of the cure, tom petty, neil young, stone roses, oasis, punk, etc. I think viewing guitar playing like a cowboy duel or a gladiator fight has really damaged rock guitar music.

​@@jacoboreyes3160 I'm with you. I used to wholeheartedly believe that greater difficulty/complexity equals greater talent/quality, but as I've gotten older I'm more impressed by players who convey their point without all the excess, while still remaining interesting obviously. A lot of shredding to me now is really just unnecessary fat on the bones of a solo.

@@tylerhowie1304it’s equivalent to someone with a phd in astrophysics being able to communicate instantly at the level of whomever they need to communicate with. Not throwing technical jargon at a layman.

@@jacoboreyes3160 I think the folks who actively hate on him and drop lame comments on his videos are the envious ones. Other people just arent into it, and thats OK.

It's so true and it sucks so much more than the people who are doing that realize, to a truly emotionally damaging extent. When I was in my early teens it started happening to me just because my fretting hand was noticably progressing faster than my guitar-playing buddies. My picking hand was kinda trash back then and yet it STILL started happening to me, that early. People start saying you have no feel compared to X and Y even though no one goes after slower players and complains that they lack the feel of X and Y, even if they actually do. Some people even start saying you're arrogant, even without you saying anything arrogant WHATSOEVER! It's almost like they know they would be so they assume you are. And the worst part of all, by far, is that they treat you like you're literally at least slightly a bad person for being a skilled guitarist! It's insane! Not everyone likes the same music, but we don't typically treat the players of other genres like they're bad people. For example, someone who plays country doesn't think blues players are bad people. Rock players don't think country players are bad people, etc. But players of ALL genres often actually act like notably technical guitarists are straight up lesser people who are missing something in life, all for their stylistic choices. It frustrated me a lot. I'm definitely not an asshole or arrogant, I do have feel, and a big part of why I made guitar my primary instrument and piano only my secondary one is that you can bend on guitar and that it's so expressive versus the piano. So I started doing a little social experiment after about 20 years of playing. If I'm sitting around players I've just met and I first play something like a bunch of Yngwie style sweep arpeggios or super fast alternate picking runs, these type of people will act unimpressed and as if I have no feel literally no matter what I play after it, no matter how soulful. Does not matter what comes after at all. BUT, if I play the soulful stuff first, before they have any knowledge that I can "shred" or whatever, they thoroughly enjoy it and express interest in jamming with me or even just being friends. It's wild. I'm not sure if they're even consciously aware that they're doing this or if the jealousy or whatever it is that fuels it is completely subconscious and they honestly don't even realize it, but that social experiment confirms it and I urge others in this position to just try it and I guarantee they'll see what I mean. Technical players are just like everyone else, people who love guitar and want to make music with other musicians and talk to them about music, not assholes. I actually think there may be less assholes among technical guitarists because assholes get into music for the wrong reasons and it's extremely difficult to practice enough to become a technical guitarist without actually having a GENUINE passion for music.

Sounded like the intro to a good soul song... Got that beautiful Rhodes vibe... Of course only Guthrie could pull that off

​@@dylano0126dude! You have to watch Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Tommy Emmanuel. Cannot recommend it enough. Full of that technique.

You're the guy not expecting much from a lead guitarist!

Check out tommy Emanuals version of into the rainbow if you dig those harmonics. Guthrie has all the moves + a bag of invented stuff nobody but maybe shaun lane or holdsworth could do if they were still with us.

Plus an underrated songwriter. "Now You Ships are Burned" is one of the best compositions of metal.

The people who think yngwie sucks have slow ears is all. I used to dislike him but the better I got, the more I liked him

Yes! Gambale!

You are right, a lot of people have "bad luck" in thinking. The "Yngwie has no feeling" congregation bores me.

​@@DenkendeMystik-ll8oiExactly! They always say that Yngwie bores them, but their regurgitated words & groupthink bores the HELL outta me!!

Odyssey was his return after the car wreck that jacked up his wrists and hands.

@@jimcastile1905 yeah absolutely, not that you'd know listening to him, good grief, it's like he just took that as a sign to push even harder and coupled with Jens Johansson on that album they just went ballistic. Great tunes, catchy melodies and choruses, riffs, tone and blistering solos. Adore that record.

@@Devypocalypse I remember reading that he went from not even being able to hold a glass of water to reclaiming most of his technique in an obscenely short amount of time thru maniac levels of practicing. He even claimed his picking was better after the accident as he never really focused as intensely like he did with the fret hand. So by the time he went into the studio to record Odyssey it was like a raging race horse primed and ready to be unleashed out of the gate.

@@morpho2316Still it's sloppy compared to Rising Force and Marching Out. He never fully got back to that precision.

​@@Coynkydynkhis playing on odyssey is more melodic and cleaner than rising force. Listen to them back to back. People just say this because of a car wreck story.

Funny you should mention that floppy record (Soundpage #7 from "Guitar Player" magazine; April 1985 issue). That was MY introduction to Yngwie Malmsteen also! It was one of the most APOCALYPTIC musical moments I have ever experienced to date (and I am a longtime record collector and guitar player; 41 years so far). I couldn't believe what I was hearing... NO ONE I knew of played like that. My jaw was on the floor. I was hooked INSTANTLY. Saw him in a club in Pennsauken, New Jersey, in July of that year as well. I have been a fan ever since. He's one of the most unique and identifiable players I know of, to this day.

I just find players who play in one style boring after a while. I'll listen to some yngwie here and there but you can't deny that he's not exactly a jack of all trades.

He's repetitive, isolated and tends to become boring. Great to study, not so much to follow for long periods of time. The best skill to be a musician is to listen. Yngwie stopped listening about 30 years ago, he's been doing it for 45.

@@einarabelc5 Stopped listening, much like Ludwig Van.

He was being sarcastic, it was kinda pissing me off. Maybe I'm wrong. I just love Yngwie.

@@emisaelangel273 Are Yngwie fans this soft skinned? He was giving praise and you know it could be sarcastic because it's ironically the opposite. He literally made a song called 'Crying' because that's what sad is supposed to sound like apparently. I mean, who listens to Trilogy Op.5 every day?

Another commenter pointed out my being wrong, I was glad, I like Guthrie. I just read the room poorly..

@@stephenshampine11I do

Yeah yngwie is the best

@@michaelmonster It is difficult to find more meaningful and soulful playing in the metal/ neo classical genre then early to mid 80s Yngwie.

He's too repetitive and sometimes soulless. Period that's yngwie. But has some good material.
