Blues Guitarist - REACTING TO YNGWIE MALMSTEEN!!🎸🤘🏾🔥

[@bryanm7953]

Famous Yngwie quote, "less is not more, more is more".

[@Devon_Rismay]

Wouldn't even disagree with him there

[@mattmarcotte5476]

He's so cocky... So right. Wish he got in like a GNR type band though.

[@mmzddx96]

I love Yngwie sooooooooooooo much! Ooooh, and you said his name correctly! Hallelujah!

[@steverey8362]

His ability to play classical selections and make it sound as if Mozart himself composed the fretwork has always amazed me as well. The guy is insanely talented.

[@Devon_Rismay]

He's legendary

[@tonyflorez703]

Yngwie Amazing, no one comes even close when it comes to neoclassical,!

[@yes7785]

Jason Becker wins easily

[@nicolasbascunan4013]

In fact, his bends and vibrato are spectacular.

[@randypierson6358]

I had a few bears with Malmsteen after a show in 1994 in Everette Washington Sat down at the bar and talked music with him hes a serious musician

[@aramhamparian9641]

Yngwie has remained true to his musical ideals and style that he loves. I saw him perform back in 1994 at a small club in upstate NY and he was flawless and brilliant. The highlight being a 4 song Hendrix encore. Good stuff bro...

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thanks bro! Yngwie is legendary 🤘🏾

[@WNC_BUCKEYE]

Please do John 5 Sugar Foot Rag

[@kdm71291]

I saw him open for AC/DC in 1985 or 6, I think it was.

[@bobbiebastin5423]

I was so lucky to see him about 10 times, he had some really great singers too!!! Great times!!!!

[@andrewelkington4492]

"ridiculous". Perfect summary. He is absolutely incredible.

[@carinaejag]

Another awesome artist from Sweden.

[@nyxinyx2521]

Spectacular! He was born to play. I heard a hint of classical in this piece it was beautiful. Great review!

[@Devon_Rismay]

🤘🏾

[@vovindequasahi]

You should listen to Disciples of Hell, Crying, and I am a Viking!

[@hemikomichaus9264]

I can see you are a wise. You know very well to YNGWIE. BLESSINGS

[@maureenwagg5305]

Spanish Castle Magic is a Hendrix cover and he killllssss it. I love watching him shred.

[@bridgettemiller3552]

I head banged around the 80s with ing vays guitar screaming in my ears, god, I miss those heady days.

[@epic103]

Yngwie is one of the GOATS.

[@Devon_Rismay]

Facts

[@citizen_grub4171]

According to him, he's *the* GOAT. And he's happy to tell anyone who'll listen for five minutes. He's also happy to tell the sound guys, in front of a crowd no less, that they're utter garbage. Yngvie's a prima donna, who's guitar playing hasn't much changed since 1985.

[@epic103]

@@citizen_grub4171 - Most of that is true, but that doesn't change the fact that he is one of the GOATS. Nobody was playing like Yngwie 38 years ago. His picking, tone, vibrato, and overall technique was by far the best. He influenced everyone that came after him. When Yngwie hit the scene in 1983 he took them all out, no one could touch him. From a lead guitar standpoint his vibrato and technique was unmatched.

[@petercsigo3314]

What else can you say well like he's a guitar God.

[@waynewright3912]

Scalloped fretboard does not help with speed but your ability to grab quick vibrato/bends

[@islesnd]

Like Eddie Van Halen who changed the way Rock guitar is played. Yngwie invented a style that is landmark and changed rock guitar playing forever. He really should have as much notariary for doing that as Eddie did. Unfortunately popularity contests get in the way of giving proper credit sometimes.

[@sunfishassassin5963]

Another awesome video

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thanks bro!

@@Devon_Rismay - Checkout Far Beyond the Sun, that's one of his masterpieces.

[@nickcrisp7252]

You've got to have something to listen to without worrying, "can I play this?" lol. When I pick up a guitar, I play mostly blues, some classic style rock...because I can (sort of!). But I listen to a lot of other stuff I haven't a hope of ever being able to play, so I can just...listen. Nice to see you keeping the channel musically diverse - love it! Checked out one of your gig videos - really liked it, good stuff.

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thanks bro!

Next recomended black star live in budokan 1994,far beyond the sun live leningrad 1989

[@Devon_Rismay]

U got it!

[@maxwellshammer5283]

Another shredder you might want to check out is John Petrucci, the guitarist for Dream Theater. He does an instrumental version of Prince’s “Purple Rain” that’s a good example of him playing solo.

[@Devon_Rismay]

I'll check him out

[@Xemptuous]

I always thought the purpose of scalloped frets was to allow finer bending by pushing the string inwards towards the body rather than up and down the fretboard. Speed is really just a matter of string tension and muscle memory.

[@Krebstar100]

That's one purpose, a scalloped fretboard's main purpose is to enhance the clarity of the note as its only touching the fret if played correctly. It can speed up your playing down the road but takes a long time to get used to because it requires a really light touch. One of my old guitar teachers had one and I couldn't get it to sound in tune due to being too heavy on my touch.

[@islesnd]

Less drag on the fingers when pulling off and hammering on because they never touch the fret board. Same concept as jumbo frets just on a greater scale. The zero drag makes it so that you can play faster.

[@Guinnessrules]

Check out Racer X. 2 lead guitarists that's just awesome. Paul Gilbert and Bruce Bouillet. Song suggestion would be Scarified to start with.

[@NightwishArena]

One guy I know once said, that you need to think it this way; Joe Satriani is like technician with his guitar, and Steve Vai is like an engineer, but Yngwie is just a rock dude 😁

[@Devon_Rismay]

I couldn't agree agree

[@bobbiebastin5423]

Seen them all so many times!! Don't forget Eric Johnson!!!!

[@riffsthatkill2180]

Good point about tone. Separates the men from the boys in shred. Yngwie plays an 08 gauge on the high strings. His tone is extremely clear due to the single coil strat tone and his precision. Other shredders can sound sloppy because they have bad tone profile.

[@NS1.]

It's those scalloped frets and single coil Fender Stra, plugged into Marshal stacks with a good amount of reverb. Probably some Chorus. Gives him a real original and tasty tone.

[@bryanm7953]

Olly Steele and Al Joseph are 2 virtuoso black guitarists that if you don't know their names you should look them up.

[@MrClassicmetal]

Steve Vai is the nicest guy around. And he went on tour with Yngwie multiple times. First as part of G3, with Satriani and Vai. Yngwie was also part of Generation Axe, formed by Vai. And they toured a _lot_ all over the world for 3 years, from 2016 till the end of 2019. Apparently Vai and Yngwie are friends. Either Vai is able to deal with ∆ssholes extremely well, or Yngwie's reputation is exaggerated.😁

[@Devon_Rismay]

Lol 😂

[@bridgettemiller3552]

Steve looked up to him and yes he has tantrums but im sure he has that right being to king of shredds

[@twich155]

They are called "scalloped frets"

[@paulmorris8762]

I think one of the first I knew of to play with scalloped frets was (Mahavishnu) John McLauglin

[@Sensei.shonuff]

Bro have you reacted to still got the blues live by gary moore U wont regret it man

[@annmills3163]

☮️💜

[@bridgettemiller3552]

The scalloped frets allow you to bend into those chords thus creating a perfect arpeggios but not for speed my friend x

[@WNC_BUCKEYE]

Please react to John 5 sugar foot rag

[@MaxSalada]

he plays with 8's

[@paulhine1061]

Have a listen to Buckethead.

He is badass!

Devon isn't it crazy what he can do? Bruh....12s? Fuck that shit.

Steve who?

[@ElevatedLevetator]

Actully he use 8s

[@michaelmelick8015]

Scalloped and I think its much harder to play, hurts your fucking fingers lol

[@mavenfrankeus7287]

I knew his mother.

[@forelectricstring8833]

React to "red house" played by Yngwie. Not that shitty piece by him.

yannie is crazy lmao. he's too good lol unnecessarily good. no need for it lol

[@antoniocunha8772]

dont try this kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@maxwellshammer5283]

The guitar had to have a cigarette after that. Actually, I’m not much of a fan of Yngwie. Incredible technique for sure but mostly, his music just doesn’t grab me.

[@Devon_Rismay]

It be like that sometimes, I do my best to grab a lil something from everyone

[@maxwellshammer5283]

@@Devon_Rismay Yeah! There’s a really famous jazz/fusion guitarist I’m the same way about. Fantastic guitarist, and innovative, but I’m just not into his music. Gotta respect the talent, though.

[@davidmcglone7442]

The man has the top technique. he has always aped Blackmore, he just does it quicker. But quick is not always good.

[@epic103]

Yngwie's vibrato and bending is also top notch, not just speed.

[@sprinterproductionshd3061]

But would you listen to this tho? Cuz i wouldnt
