5 Minute Tones - Inspired by Yngwie

[@laerciojr1]

The most important, buy Ferraris!

[@firststep7750]

Don't forget donuts!

[@MostlyElectrolytes]

I wanted to be just like Yngwie.....unfortunately I focused on eating the donuts rather than the guitar playing. Great video as usual

[@gordontubbs]

What I love about Yngwie's tone, perhaps deceptively so, is that there is not so much over-the-top gain as you might think there is initially.

[@furryz666]

Agreed, I actually just posted something very similar I can’t get it on the axefx 3 But guitar rig 5 (free) malmsteen patch isn’t too bad it’s definitely closer than this

[@poulwinther]

@@furryz666 My favorite lead tone of any gear is a self-mod of Guitar Rig 5 Yngwie patch.

[@wadecooler7496]

A lot of clarity and an almost violin like quality to it.

[@LucaMilierimusic]

the Wal Mart version of Malmsteen? ahaha, come on man, you sound great!

[@drockny]

Haha Bedroom Eyes, you rule Leon! Yngwie is my all time favorite. Live in Leningrad is the single greatest live guitar performance I've ever heard and seen (yes I have the VHS tape).

[@LeonTodd]

I had his live in Japan VHS (85/86 I think?) and probably watched it over 100 times. Leningrad is next level from that.

[@jakemf1]

drockny that performance was amazing

[@drockny]

@@jakemf1 His playing on Deju Vu and Crystal Ball was especially next level. Much better than on Odyssey with the extra licks he throws in and the uptempo beat.

[@kriyaban100]

Out of 4 shows I had been watching 2 of them actually in the crowd! It was a good ones! PS. On video you probably won’t see how crazy fans trashed the stage? ))

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

Some of those opening licks were neo-cla-sick!

[@chuckunderwood25]

Leon...your subscribers keep increasing and no one deserves it more than you! As an 80's metal fan and an Axe Fx III owner, your channel is by far my favorite!

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks so much mate! As someone who has pretty much tried all the gear by now, the Axe-Fx III really is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[@piedpeter1]

Thanks! Always appreciate your videos! Alternative is Get a Modded DOD308 pedal or reg 308, or modded DOD-250 pedal (reg dod-250 ok but mushy for Yngwie tone) through axe FX 2 '59 marshall slp into g12T-75 (#39) speaker cab also works well for quick close tone.

[@calebfodor6258]

Wow I had no idea you could shred like that! Tone sounds spot on

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Never seen a Malmsteen strat that colour! Looks awesome obviously

[@nobbynose4254]

your love of Yngwie is why I subscribed subscribe all hail the master

[@opt123123]

I didn't think your channel could possibly get better, but adding leopard skin raised the bar!

[@KirkyDrums]

There's no love button ..Like will have to do .. That first straight up strat / marshall sound you mentioned was amazing

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah it's instant 70s crunch

[@KirkyDrums]

@@LeonTodd Machine Head glory . So good Leon

[@iszacwagner6194]

Man, that was awesome!!! By the way best guitar channel on youtube period.

[@robertmann1909]

thank you for an awesome video . love Yngwie.

[@jonbigg7385]

I loved that lead tone. I'm going to try that with my EBMM Cutlass. Thank you Leon! Great playing too!

[@johng2463]

Nailed it. Axe Fx III can release the föökin fury.

[@stevenlobo2828]

Man this is just great

[@ronniecoffey9945]

Hell Yeah !!!! i gotta do this on my AX8

[@cammlayne]

the axe 3's nice, cant wait to get my blue x

[@gstmusic69]

Awesome! Thank you Leon!

[@bryanmagallan6126]

Great playing along with that killer sound, as always great content my friend.

[@jakemf1]

Love this

[@dougeakle777]

Thanks for this Leon! Always liked Yngwie’s tone. Question: what’s the black bar in front of your bridge? Synth pickup?

[@LeonTodd]

Correct! It's actually a mount for the Fishman triple play

[@jameswyre6480]

For Kemper, I actually use the paid rig Top Jimi YJM100 Max volume. Seems pretty close. Awesome job!

[@mmilan67]

Oh yessss 🎸🎸🎸 Great as always Leon ....

[@wrinkledquarter]

Lol I caNT HELP BUT LAUGH ABOUT HOW GOOD THAT OPENING JAM IS!

[@dougeakle777]

How about a 5 Minute Tones on Ratt or George Lynch?

[@LeonTodd]

Soon

[@FlashGrover]

@@LeonTodd Definitely Lynch!!

[@jonbigg7385]

I'd love to hear a Mark Tremonti/Alter Bridge 5 Minutes Tones.

[@adriancummings3625]

Totally awesome really got inspired by this Leon I get a lot of tips watching your tone video programming my Blackstar id tvp 15

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Please do a 5 minute tone of Tora Tora on the song Walking Shoes. :-) I loved the guitar, but died laughing at the thumbnail of your head on his body ! :-) Yngwie's wall of amps is impressive.. ! :-) Love the tone of that amp. One of my fav amp overall is the Marshall 50 watt plexi.. Just love it.. I used to own a DOD 250 preamp. It was great if you had that just breaking up sound on the amp, and kicked it on, then you got just what tone you have with your axefx. Identical. You nailed it. :-) I would love to see you do more of the Soldano tone on your AxeFx. Love that amp probably the most, as well as the ADA Mp1.. All 80's stuff..

[@Smittefar1]

Gotta love Yngwie. I was expecting you to go for the 1970 Plexi, but this worked great too

[@LeonTodd]

I pretty much tried them all and it was down to this, the 1987X and the 1970 Plexi. The 1970 does the slightly darker sounding early albums pretty well but this one sounded a bit closer to the Eclipse style tone that is my fave.

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Morning Leon! Cool Thumbnail, Well done and thanks for sharing brother! Be Well!

[@kuringmundo]

that thumbnail is everything

[@lizzietheheretic7831]

Awesome

[@RadioEQ]

Great!!!

[@MrTwangstaable]

lovely playing Leon! Tone is close but the neck is a tad muddy, maybe it's right with the HS3 and original DOD 250 emulation.

[@got2rock4]

Awesome video 🔥🎸🔥

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks!!

[@taztherocker1]

Well done my friend well done!

[@KevinHeiderich]

Three things: 1.That was some nice shredding. Didn't expect that. Haven't seen you doing that in the other videos that much :) 2.That stock settings sound

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks so much! That Plexi model with that IR instantly gives me a vibe too. I think a lot of Yngwie's tones tones from that era probably fall victim to the production techniques of the time, like a lot of great players from that era.

[@charleswerneth4284]

Fantastic!

[@russell_szabados]

You nailed it dude!

[@philgutherless5802]

Excellent playing AND tone. Good one! Now for a 5 minute tone on early Ty Tabor. Would love to hear someone tackle that one.

[@LeonTodd]

Ty is the summit!

[@masque1313]

@@LeonTodd I agree that tone he got on those first 4 king's x albums is just about the most perfect tone of all time to my ears. and I also do love the tone on ear candy and dogma, but the first 4 are the pinnacle.

[@pradhanparas]

Great tone and intro !

[@ukguitarnoodle]

more is more !

[@planzed463]

Leon that thumbnail is brilliant 😂 you are a G! Thanks for another brilliant video

[@LeonTodd]

It was a true labour of love

[@planzed463]

Leon Todd and you make it look effortless 👏🏽👏🏽

[@SCYATIC1]

Thats insane!!

[@LeonTodd]

Loving the Axe so far?

[@SCYATIC1]

@@LeonTodd so much mate, cant believe how much fun it is, your vids on it are so good, thank you 🤘

[@Fender308]

Where can I get that backing track to practice? Liked the vibe of it :)

[@LeonTodd]

I'll get it up this week

[@SeagoGuitarist]

Your playing is nuts! Instant sub 👌 Surprised how much difference that drive with everything on 10 made! Like your parting comments on Yngwie too.. He gets a lot of unnecessary hate but when it comes down to it, he's an absolutely monsterous guitarist!! ✌️

[@LeonTodd]

Too kind! Yngwie is a bit misunderstood I feel.

[@SeagoGuitarist]

@@LeonTodd Agreed, I've always thought a part of him is amused by that though. He plays a character to some degree. I've heard a lot of positive stories about him. Also given his playing, it's hardly surprising that holding no punches/confidence would be large parts of his personality! No compromise comes with it's own set of issues. ✌️Malmsteen aside, definitely impressed by your playing man! You got pretty darn close to his sound and that's a feat on its own! 😊😊😊

[@irishRocker1]

Nice vid, great tone! 5 minute tones on megadeth or marty friendman for his lead tone? Mainly because i'd love to hear you shred some Marty!

[@JasonSadites]

@leon todd rippin' dude 🤘🤘

[@kelvinteokiatuan6635]

Great playing Leon! What HS pickups are in that strat? Am thinking about the HS series but not really sure which one to get.

[@LeonTodd]

HS3's. Really mellow so you need to slam on lots of gain.

[@ronaldd2154]

Holy sh!T!! You sir actually have, + unleashed the FURY!

[@jamesprice6381]

HILARIOUS CAPTION!

[@horsemanoftheapocalapse5837]

Is therre a marshall tube combo that cuts the sound close ,thanks in advance

[@sunghoonkim2769]

Awesome mate!! I am a huge YJM fan either!! Do your band have any plan for gig in Brissy?

[@LeonTodd]

We'll be in Syd and Melb in March but couldn't make Brissy work this time around :(

[@jamesprice6381]

What year Malmsteener Strat Leon? thank you! :)

[@harumann]

"...great Marshall Strat, kind of like a Ritchie Blackmore thing at the moment...". I am going to stop tweaking my Axe-FX there, before you Yngwify it. I am more comfortable Blackmoring than Yngwieing :-D Thank you, Leon. That was very useful, as always

[@klguitar1]

are your LT cabs in stock settings? if not, where can we buy them? thanks !!

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

Thumbnail is goat

[@mickeymcconnell3011]

Leon what color is that YJM strat? I can't find it being offered anywhere

[@sean7193]

what year is the guitar? you should do a video on it.

[@klguitar1]

What monitors do you use for this sound ? Thanks

[@SHREDTILLDEAD]

What about impelliteri

Sorry if its a stupid question which marshall amp is that?

[@furryz666]

not bad but just to dirty YM uses a much cleaner tone ive been trying but cant dial in anything that does the trick but im new to my Axe 3 mkii, still trying to love it but at 58 years old by the end of the night im firing up one of my tube combos my jcm800 is a 2205 but my jcm900 gives me a much closer YM tone i saw a malmsteen clone from Brazil, good player, but the patches he was selling were really distorted and flat. well ill keep at it

[@fabio.oliver.guitar]

👍👍👍

[@gp85hkg]

I'd go with the Bunnings version... They're going better than walmart at the moment. Besides, they're Australian (".)

[@LeonTodd]

Have you seen the Bunnings themed covered on guitar? That's one of my mates from perth!

[@LeonTodd]

Yes. Please send me donuts.

[@SEugeniusz]

...yeah but most of Yngwie's actual songs are pretty terrible!

"I'll See the Light Tonight" is killer.
