Hello David. Back in the 80's, when I was at a friends party, I heard Black Star blaring from his stereo. I was blown away. I had to find out who, what, how and when I could get my hands on that album/cassette. In 84, I believe, My friends and I went to see Yngwie in concert with special guest Talas,(Billy Sheehan)and I think Riot. After the concert we met Yngwie and the band at a hotel. Yngwie and Jeff Scott Soto were tired and went on to their room. Marcel Jacob, (R.I.P.) and the Johannson brothers were hungry. We ended up taking them to Whataburger, (the nearest burger joint). We returned to the hotel parking lot and chatted a while. They were the coolest, funniest Swedish guys you could ever meet. Thanks for this lesson David. Rock on!

I think Yngwie completed the trifecta of most influential guitarists. Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and finally Yngwie. Yngwie ushered in the neo classical sound. He brought with it technical playing and brought it to a new level. He opened up the possibilities of major, minor, the modes, arpeggios, and of course speed. It really was the final frontier. All these guitar players on KZbin sporting their speed are paying homage to Yngwie really. Masters such as Petrucci talk of his influence. Yngwie gets a bad rap as a one trick pony, but those people are so very wrong. Vai played with him and says he is very feeling...coming from Vai that's enough for me. Plus he has written one of the top five metal albums ever in Rising Force Marching Out!!!! Amazing amazing amazing album. Brilliant.
@scottdunn21784 жыл бұрын
Yngwie saw a violinist playing Niccolo Paganini's 24 Caprices on TV in Sweden as a young teenager, and combined with a tape player he practiced to that had a motor that ran too fast... is where he first developed his style, and is why he plays so fast. Best Regards 🎸

Yngwie is fast, accurate and a his creative arrangements of complexities wow us, he definitely is a great composer and produces amazing music. But I have noticed in his latest albums he no longer has the same technique and original style, as if he has lost something along his way (IMO). Is it just me, or do all of you hear the difference in his style?

😂 Blues is a challenge for me. I started with punk, then thrash, then studied classical & Flamenco. Yngwie’s stuff makes sense to me (although I wish he would slow down more often), but I struggle with trying to play blues, because it is loose & flowing. I’m so used to playing in a very structured manner.

Ok. I met Yngwie during Alcatrazz. We seriously hung out for close to a half-hour. It was a trip! I was with members of the band I was playing in at the time. Two of them were huge fans of New England (John Fannon more specifically), the band which Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo were in prior... So we're all standing outside the bus talking to these dudes. It's the other guitarist and myself. I brought up being a huge fan of Silver Mountain (Jens Johansson's pre-Rising Force band)... So he starts showing us all these pictures from the studio (He'd just recorded the Rising Force record). Eventually he brings out this Aria guitar (he just got an endorsement) and hands it to us. We're like..." Uh...cool." Talk about an intimidating scene. Haha. He was totally cool then... It's interesting how he's since got this rep for being such an asshole. I'm sure he was for awhile. Haha.

I can really appreciate your interest and obvious respect for classical music while lifting up all these monster rock/metal guitarists. I am a hobby guitarist who has been taking classical lessons for about 8 years but still love to play electric much to the irritation of my teacher who is a classical purist. Wanted to throw out two possible guitarists to do a, "Three for All" - Barry Bailey of Atlanta Rhythm Section, one of most underrated players of the 70s. His solo on Spooky is phenomenal and contains a whole slew of tasty licks. Another guy to maybe consider is Brad Gillis of Night Ranger. I loved his work when he filled in for Randy Rhoads on Speak of the Devil, but he has some very cool stuff on his own. Thanks again! love your channel!

LATE NIGHT LESSONS, thanks for the yngwie lesson I have been waiting for awhile for you to make it. I like the last lick because this is how yngwie use to play in his early songs with harmonic minor with 7ths notes added lines mixed with arpeggios. There is many youtube videos showing yngwies arpeggios but not many videos showing his unique harmonic minor lines he did in his early albums. Frank Zappa just came out with the Hot Rats boxset 6 Cds. Dweezil Zappa has learned some very advance techniques from his dads music. Any chance on making a Dweezil Zappa lesson in the future. he has lessons on youtube check them out if you like advance technical guitar phrasing. Dweezil Zappa is playing the whole Hot Rats album live this years and the advance phrasing of notes of how they sequence note patterns.

Thanks, I like getting familiar what Yngwie (or anybody) does. On the other hand I don't like listening to it for a long time. I mean I love his first 5 albums, but after them, those perfect lightning fast licks just became boring (which is much better than AC/DC that became boring after 2 albums). Some musician said "he would be more interesting if he could leave out some notes once in a while". After seeking, finding and hearing the fastest runs possible, I totally agree. Today they seem the fastest and most unnecessary runs.

Even worse, as a young player in the Bay Area in the late 80's, I was bored to death by metal/thrash bands with Skolnick clones shredding top-end arpeggios in every song. I do wish I had spent more time on them but not that much. That's why I never got my Shred Club membership card. All the best from the Bay. MK

I'm a bit confused how 16:30 is anything more then just an F# Minor run followed by a F# minor arpeggio? Isn't F# Minor/Major7 automatically just a F# Harmonic Minor by definition?
