More often than not, that means the artist produced it or at least had some hand in doing so because they don’t have somebody else influencing the music, or at least not as much as with other artists. Don’t get me wrong, though. There are plenty of great producers that can take an amazing piece of music and make it even better. One awesome example (imo) would be Unearth’s III: In the Eyes of Fire, which was produced by Terry Date. Blew my mind how such an old school guy could help a very modern metal band sound immaculate. That album is literally masterful, front to back. When that album dropped it was probably the highlight of my freshman year in high school

So obvious that he enjoys every little note and wiggle of vibrato he plays, regardless of how many thousands of times he must have played this song. The people that say Yngwie has no soul or feeling in his playing are only in tune with the bluesy bends they've been told over and over are the only way to be soulful on the instrument.

Note that this is also coming from me, a guy who has played and listen to almost everyhthing from blues,glam metal,classic rock,funk and more.

TO EVERYONE CLAIMING YNGWIE'S "JUST SHREDDING": 1. He's doing way more than just shredding, even in this song. Although he's shredding a lot. 2. Just because he's shredding a lot, doesn't mean he can't play anything else! I personally love to shred, but I do love many other styles as well. Take Gary Moore's soloing for example - his guitar is almost litterally crying some times! 3. "I can play way better than him, because I play with emotion and doing better things than just shred"

Make a _beeeep_ near him and he can tell you "it's a D but a tiny bit flat", without a reference note or anything. _However_ people with this ability (which is innate and extremely extremely difficult to _acquire_ ) have _greater_ difficulty learning to distinguish _intervals_ than people without it. Not that it is a "challenge" for them to learn it anything, just that for _them_ it is _more_ difficult. How scientists reached these conclusion? No fuckin' clue 😐

Jack Pot It’s a ’simple’ economy picked F#m9 arpeggio from the fifth string in the interval order 1 9 3 5 1 9 3 with some vibrato on the end. Actually one of the easier parts of the song and quite enjoyable to play. A great pattern to know for improvising in other genres aswell. Many people struggle with rolling your ring finger for that 4th interval between the D and G string but there are ways around that. Good luck!

He plays something legitimately melodically interesting, then ruins it by playing as fast as he can to transition to his next lick. This repeats for 6 minutes. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

If anything, the guy is underrated. His technique and style was so revolutionary and influential, that his ability as a composer can get overlooked.

Yngwie is one of the absolute all-time greats.

[@y0riai.]

Underrated? What are you talking about. They all know he Is the GOAT.

[@Hologhoul]

​@jorgerodriguez145 By "they" you mean those of us who understand the music and Yngwie's impact. But unfortunately there are numerous music fans and stupid critics/journalistics who don't get and don't have enough depth to feel and grasp his music and playing. Back in the 80s there was this boring mantra that Yngwie couldn't write good songs; this at the time Trilogy came out, which had a ton of great songs! So you're right, he's not underrated by those whose opinions matter, but he is still underrated more in some wider circles.
