Quiet, you! He might be listening!!

You bet he's freakin' amazing. It's incredible how he morphs into all this different styles.

[@tomfoolery2082]

Definitely layin out some good stuff .

*Yngwie is an outstanding composer. He still amazes me of what he has done for the guitar world. Thanks for the vid.*

[@DC11music]

I have to say. You do the best lessons out of anyone on KZbin. No gimmick chatter. Just very calm and right to the point. As always, well done sir.

[@greggaedeke2386]

Agreed!!

[@Snostrebla1]

Great lesson. Would love to see a break breakdown of “I am a Viking”, “Krakatoa” & the almost impossible to play “Now Your Ships Have Burned”. So many great Yngwie tunes!!!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

i love "i am a viking"

[@DunlopTortex05mm]

I follow you on Now your ships are burn ! This kickass song need a proper analysis / lesson

[@funkster007]

Fire is definitely one of his most underrated songs. Glad you added that riff in there. Excellent break down of Yngwie's riffage.

[@TMoody]

Marching Out is the best Yngwie record.... ever. Another fantastic lesson Dave!

[@l30S3UX]

The man released 5 pure masterpieces. And Im including Seventh Sign on those five. What a legend.

[@maidenman95]

Leo I only really liked his first three records and his Alcatrazz stuff

[@___and_memes_for_all]

His Steeler album was awesome

[@image30p]

I like Yngwie's rhythm playing as much as his leads. I feel like he did his best songwriting on Marching Out, Trilogy, Fire and Ice and Odyssey. Thank you for breaking down all those great riffs. Especially Dreaming, which is a beautiful song. Absolute magic.

[@Jay-sy5yf]

Those albums was when he worked with a producer!

[@strivingx67]

Fire and Ice is bad ass!

[@RipVDub]

I caught myself singing Magic Mirror. You got me. Appreciate the lesson!

[@pdooley730]

Marching out is my favorite Yngwie album! Jeff Scott Soto was killer and Yngwie was at his best!

[@Nobody92421]

Saw him live too. I was not only impressed by his playing, but that he would turn out the lights, throw up has strat and catch it while ripping back into the show. You have to admire that!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

he was badass live,i got one chance and i took it.shame it was for the tour after "heaven tonight" when he fired everyone AGAIN

[@The_Macaroon]

Ah, that was a trip down memory lane. I absolutely loved Trilogy when it came out. Loved it.

[@fabadder1]

I could watch your vids all day! Thanks for not only the techniques, but also the insight and stories.

[@howardspurlock1443]

Very nice. Love your lessons. Thank you very much.

[@hwmbo727]

You've taught me how to play SO MANY riffs that I might never have figured out myself. Thank you!

Dude, love your videos! Yngwie became part of my life when I was 15, that’s 25 years ago. He’s a living legend.

[@nathancloud6344]

Love him or hate him... He can not be denied as one the the best. Thank you for sharing this video, David. Happy holidays.

[@aquabot]

Really love your videos, David, keep 'em coming. Never been a fan of Yngwie myself, actually I only started liking his stuff recently, but anyone who's practised the guitar has to realise he's one of the best. Ok, he repeats himself, he likes playing fast, a lot, etc, etc, but, come on, he created a school of his own, with so many guys being inspired by him. And he's still flawless on the instrument. He deserves respect.

[@brianosbment2343]

Hell yeah! I love Yngwie' s chord work and rhythms. I play nothing like him really,but still wanna learn from his style.

[@zeusstudios4724]

Brian Osbment there’s a lot of musical styles / influences behind where Yngwie came from. Makes sense that you could appreciate in different musical styles.

[@brianosbment2343]

@@zeusstudios4724 I agree! I was big fan of Yngwie back in the day.

[@voronOsphere]

I can't play like Yngwie much at all, but he's one of my biggest influences! I know exactly what you mean!

That was awesome. I could have looked at the TAB versions of this stuff for years and not gotten ANYTHING out of it. What a great job of giving insight into playing this stuff. Thanks !

SUPER apreciated on your videos of solos and licks. Especially this one! Been playing for years following Bucketheads work, but want to get into another complex style. Been a huge fan of malmsteens 80s solos and riffs as of lately, and your tutorials and informational videos are spot on and easy to follow! Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada

You have rekindled my efforts to learm some Yngwie firework and I thank you sir!

[@Busyfingers24]

Excellent work Dave! I'm of the opinion as with most players here, that YJM's rhythm work is often overlooked...thank you! Such an awesome lesson 👍

Love the presentation. Thanks for sharing!

Great stuff ...connecting with your approach a lot

[@MagnumOpus007]

Oh man!! Thank you so much for these YJM lessons!! Have been trying to understand his work forever and you've made it very approachable.

[@DerNiederrheiner]

I always had some issues going on with Yngwie's music. I even can't explain what it was I did like and did not like at the same time. Your lesson did open my eyes for some details I missed or didn't quite understand. Thank you for that. I will use the following hours to dive into 'Trilogy'. Have a nice day.

[@hawkwind8468]

Always awesome instructor!! Thank you brother and Yngwie is so genius it's just insane

[@CVGuitar]

18:03 I remember reading in Guitar Player mag that Yngwie wrote the song 'Little Savage' for his cat -- hence the title

[@Scottocaster6668]

@N1974 why does he call it the Duck guitar?

[@Scottocaster6668]

@N1974 Oh, I never noticed that before, thank you.

[@zombiemachinery4868]

Bro, the Trilogy was the first Yngwie album I bought but I think the one that I love the most because of the quality of the song writing is Facing The Animal. I love everything he did from Alcatrazz to Facing The Animal. By the way Magic Mirror is a freaking insane song.

[@seagullpoet]

Kids today have no idea how super unusual Yngwie was - when he hit. In my opinion, he way surpassed Van Halen in creativity and wildness !

[@bennyh4950]

And eddie new it. Ed dodged yjm foerever when they were at the same functions/events. Ed finally met up with someone who was light years away from him as eric clapton found out in 66 when jimi hendrix invaded england. I love ed, he had his thing but on a serious guitar level yjm raised the bar and and blossomed a rock neo classical shred genre that continues to this day. No yngwie no shred heros you know and love today. Ed was a technique...yngwie was a genre. Thank god for both!!!

[@hrosemd]

Really great.

[@floydtracy37]

Excellent dude keep rocking!

[@bi0lizard1]

Rising Force was the first Yngwie cassette I bought. I listened to it over and over trying (and failing) to learn some of the songs. This one holds a special place for me and instantly takes me back to a time long ago when I was a teenager sitting in my room with my Charvel guitar. My parents were still alive…music can be so powerful in its ability to transport you back in time and recall memories.

[@natjes6017]

Man, I really dig your vibrato, very akin to Yngwie´s. Stunning work!

[@wadecooler7496]

The video I've been waiting for

[@dadude7]

His marshall set up back in the day was very strange, but his tone largely came from his old Dod pedal, 8s strings and old dimarzio hs3 pickups. It's extremely hard to replicate. Great playing on your video here. Very cool.

[@drockny]

Great lesson David. Please do a Yngwie Chordplay part II with some tracks from Odyssey and Eclipse. Devin In Disguise is my favorite Yngwie track of all time. It's so killer! Brilliant playing of Dreaming by the way. Live in Leningrad is the best live album I've heard any musician put out sound-wise. Yngwie was 100% in the zone for that one.

[@kanebowlin5123]

That was awesome world class player you are . I learnt alot

[@soundzofnoize8603]

Incredible Lesson thank you!!

[@alojz300]

Im a Yngwie´s Fan, but I was surprised I have the same Behringer Vampire Amp you are using; I bought it from a Pawn SHop really cheap with 4x12 Cabinet and it sounds amazing.

[@Jimjolnir]

11:11 I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Yngwie has used Drop D, I have jammed some classical pieces that required it. Tried my hands at a few Yngwie songs, just nothing in drop. Great riff brake down. Got yerself a new sub.

[@jimcreee3299]

Knew you were going to start with that one. Great stuff dude

[@wasichu66]

Great album indeed. Trilogy was Yngwie's first blossom into melodic songs, yet there is that rawness to it that remains gripping as you say. Arguably, and aside from his first album which is a category in itself, end even though both albums with Joe Lynn were really good, from a musical pov, I think "Fire and Ice" may well be his best album ever, great songs, great melodies, and possibly his best band lineup. The downhill slide started after that, slowly at first, and then it just snowballed, to a point now where all he does is record the same old covers in his living room and calls that an album. As a fan for 40 years, sadly I find he has done nothing even vaguely exciting for almost 20 years...

[@harryhines2861]

The Seventh Sign is probably the last decent album of original material, and that's circa 25 years ago.

[@danielf462]

Yngwie is my fave guitarist but it is so true that his tone and playing during the Trilogy era was his best tone ever!

[@bignut1769]

Sick tone!

[@michaelharris6441]

Yeah I know what you mean about that early Yngwie tone especially on the Trilogy album. You could of went through every riff off it & I’d been happy !

[@ferrollg]

Thanks David Brewster for the awesome video. There are a lot of musicians that have used the harmonic minor scale, but I think Yngwie is the master at it in his genre. If you ever get a chance, Richie Blackmore would also be a great one to cover.

[@ianparker5007]

Love your lesson man!

[@BriBeast8566]

Great stuff...as always No worries Trilogy is my favorite of his too. I used part of Trilogy Suite in a guitar solo back in 80s in a guitar wars final. Mick Murphy won it though.

Awesome lesson!! If possible do a lesson about michael romeo and symphony x arrangements

[@Donald.W.Rissler-ARTS]

Great lesson(s) on Yngwie, Ive been a huge fan since the Steeler album. I agree about Trilogy being a fav album, but those first 3 albums are just steller. I go through a phase of relearning a bunch of Yngwie songs every 2-3 years, it always starts with reacquainting myself with Trilogy Suite (every damn time I mix up the arraignment). Yngwies tone has primarily been based around Marshall Plexi 5o watt heads with a DOD 308 pedal/preamp pushing the front from a stock Strat, later the SD/dimarzio pickups would be added. Show idea ---> perhaps you could focus on a single album and pick your way through each track finding the most interesting ideas chord/melody/technique etc.

[@strivingx67]

JL Turner is a great vocalist. No doubt. And I love Odyssey. But for me, you just can't beat Jeff Scott Soto's vocals man. Holy crap that dude has so much power and such amazing control, esp on his vibrato. He makes those tunes just come to life and get in your face! You picked so many of my fav tunes in this one. Great stuff David. Thanks for this one.

[@gonget]

No apologies necessary, I will go out on a limb and say it’s probably many Yngwie fans favourite album. My only gripe with this album is it seems very low in the volume department. Thank you for these lessons, you have helped many of us.
