Fender 70th Anniversary Strat Yngwie

[@xLSDxUCSB]

This is the quality filming that Yngwie deserves. High quality camera and audio, really makes his story shine.

[@adrianopadilha7338]

Worked as stage assistant for him in 2007 and it was one of the best days in my life. He is a real professional and a very kind person. Forget the ego bullshit, he is a perfectionist. As soon as things are in the way he needs for his show, he becomes a very gentle giant. And damn, he is tall.

[@myndzye2025]

Watching Yngwie play the Strat is like watching Thor the Thunder God wield Mjolnir. You can’t imagine one without the other.

[@WhalerGA]

Wow, looks like Yngwie is really taking care of himself. Glad to see it !! We want our guitar heroes to live forever !!

[@stevehislop]

I´m listening to him all my life and I so appreciate that he stayed true to himself. He is a real artist , creating his own genre with a passion that is combined with a major talent and a gazillion hours of practicing. He will never be surpassed. BR from Germany Tobias

[@Varchesis]

Only person who deserves a signature is someone who can tell you how the instrument has evolved over the years and why it's special to them. Always great to hear you!!!!!!

[@ViscusLupus]

Say what you want about him, you can like him or not, but even today, after almost 20 years from the start of You Tube, after watching hundreds of thousands of videos with guitarists of different ages and from all over the world, his style is inimitable! Any enthusiast of this music who wakes up in the middle of the night after 3 seconds will immediately recognize the song - yeah that's Yngwie! The smoothness of him playing arpeggios and sweeps is still unbeatable.

[@RaphaelLaFeria]

Greatest Guitarist of ALL TIME 🔥💯🌟

[@engr.tolga.yenici]

I am 50 years old, and I listen to Yngwie since 1984. I have never stopped listening to him and will never stop. For me, there is no argument that he is the best electric guitar player. This is for #Fender Yngwie J. Malmsteen is the reason ı like Fender Stratocaster guitars. He is the reference line for the rock music. Lots of things changed. Bands changed their music styles to remain relevant. Yngwie has always been there for true listeners with his unique style. So many people will not agree with me, I know, but for me, Yngwie is the biggest Fender Stratocaster player.

[@kylejantzen2]

I love how he genuinely loves talking bout his Strats.... his smile is so genuine! What a great and unique player!

[@charlescuringa7051]

Along with Hendrix and Van Halen,Yngwie is one of the most inspiring rock guitarists of the last 50 years 🤘🏼👍🏼

[@ToneD5150]

Yngwie is the BOSS! I'M 74 and been digging your style since you were young! I finally play a Yngwie Strat and trying to wear it out...!!! Keep Rockin Yngwie Luv ya Bro From Sunrise Florida!

[@davidcotton6999]

One of the greatest guitarists of all time! Probably the greatest vibrato of all time! No one else combines so much technique with so much passion and feel, and created their own instantly recognisable sound. Black Star is one of the greatest compositions for guitar ever. What a legend!

[@datnguyen478]

Over 30 years ago, I performed 'Far Beyond the Sun' at my high school talent show, earning a standing ovation. Fast forward to my 30th reunion where I caught up with an old friend. She mentioned her 12-year-old son's obsession with a challenging guitar piece by a Swedish artist she couldn't quite pronounce. When I asked, 'Is it Yngwie?' her face lit up. I followed with, 'Is it Far Beyond the Sun?' To her surprise, I showed her a clip I uploaded to KZbin from an old VHS tape of me playing that very song. It's incredible to see Yngwie Malmsteen's work still inspiring new generations, and it's a testament to his enduring talent.

[@bnernganmont]

When he said he was 'so honored' it was his best moment. Humility goes a long way bra. He deserves every ounce of credit and belongs in the pantheon of most influential guitaists of all time.

[@panagiotisexplorer213]

I can’t believe it. In a few weeks from now I’m gonna buy the YJM signature and Fender did this video just in time 😍 The Malmsteen stratocaster is the most beautiful guitar ever made. Piece of art!

[@AlexM54R]

And listen to those versions of Far Beyond the Sun and Black Star in the background… Still magical after all these years 🙌

[@barbpainter5077]

Yngwie looks great! In fact, he has been looking great for close to 20 years now. God bless him! Love his playing!

[@imienazvvisko]

Years are passing Yngwie, and you still have enthusiasm and happieness of little child while talking about guitars or playing them. That's what makes you the best, at least for me.

[@emersonvieira2533]

Really makes me cry!!Remembered when i was a young boy starting in world...in music!!LIVE LONG TO THE Y.J.M THE GOAT LIVE LEGEND!!💪🎸♥️

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

YJM the GOAT? Lmao…..sure

[@kerrytyk111]

25 years ago I heard Malmsteen for the first time. I was blown away as I love classical music and also rock and electric guitar. Fast forward to today, and I realise more and more how much I like his music and entertaining, larger than life personality

[@AlexM54R]

Fenders, Ferraris and Rolexes 🔥Can’t go wrong with any of that ! Yngwie is a legend

[@prophetofthesingularity]

I got an Yngwie series strat a couple of years ago, best guitar I have ever played or owned. I love the scalloped neck and the tones the pickups get are perfect.

[@ignskeletons]

I'm still not convinced this guy isn't a vampire. He dresses like a vampire, and he clearly been playing guitar for hundreds of years.

[@marcanglin7127]

I remember hearing Yngwie's first album, which had just been released, as if it were yesterday. One of my best friends had bought the disc, and we sat in his living room with our jaws on the floor as we listened to track after track. Little did we know at the time, that my friend, Wally Voss (RIP), would soon be playing Bass guitar with Yngwie on tour. Thanks for all of the music and the memories !!!

[@SayonaraSixString]

Dude is shredding in the background the entire interview. Legend!

[@jaycswift4751]

Seeing Yngwie live was a defining moment for me. That Strat is an extension of his body and soul. Truly amazing.

[@CarloRegadasGuitar]

I turn 50 next month and I've been listening to Yngwie since I was a teenager in the 80s. Still blows me away to this day, from the Alcatrazz days up to present day, he's still the undisputed Master of the Stratocaster. Carlo 👍🏼🎸

[@QuocTran-su6eo]

Such a talented guitar player!

[@MaxChipz]

How can you not love Yngwie?

[@kentower]

Im really glad. Yngwie looks super awake with fire in his eyes. He’s so passionate about his guitars. And he seems in good shape. Respect and all the best!

[@mekrazee]

Been a fan for about 30 yrs and I just realized his play is just like water like it’s so naturally flowing, if guitar gods have levels, he’s on the top of all

[@PatrikFilmMaker]

Hardly any guitarist ever talks about his guitars or rather doesn't know them as well as he does!! A Genius, a Master, a Visionary, a timeless guitarist, no man will ever play a guitar like him again, thanks to him my passion for the guitar and his talent pushes me to play like him every day. Thank God for your talent.

[@jameskelly9269]

I was fortunate to see his beginnings in the US with Steeler, Alcatraz, and of course Rising Force. I met him briefly at an Alcatraz show and he told me "buy the album". I said I already had! 😂 What a legend no one like him ever! He inspires me myself and my playing for 40+ years. Love the video he is the greatest to me \m/

[@2good2betrue3]

All I can say is the Yngwie Fender "scalloped" Strat, is the BEST Stratocaster in my collection.🎸It's so amazing to play, you can feel how Yngwie feels with it. I could not ask for more. If there's only one suggestion or request I would like to add is, please add another Fret to make it 22, because sometimes I can't use it on other songs with a solo reaching for 22 frets.🙏 (Yeah bending is great, but that one fret is better.)🔥 *YNGWIE MALMSTEEN* is the Best and my favorite guitarist EVER.🤘

[@morock1n]

Good stuff! I'm a Les Paul guy but always appreciated the Strat especially in the hands of Yngwie. Might get one and give it a try.

[@c.g.vonhagenstein7576]

Amazing legacy in all respects, and still going strong. Rock on Yngwie! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

[@Brondi6000]

You were and are a model for all the guitarists in the world. ❤🎸

[@1satisfiedmind]

This was soooo good. How can you not love this guy? Thanks for all the great music, Yngwie. ps. Loved the Rick Beato interview.

[@gtrsean2429]

Nuclear Violin. 🤘💪 Discovered Yngwie in '83 with the Alcatrazz album and live '84 vid. I was 16. First saw Yngwie live in '85 opening up for AC/DC. 🔥🔥

[@aztecvspec002]

We used to make fun of each other for liking his playing but then played the albums when no one was around. Dude really is one of the best out there and his genuine love of the instrument always shines through in interviews

[@moodylukas]

Some people say that you can't play metal with Strats, but every single one of my favorite players uses Strat. It's hands-down the best sounding and most versatile electric guitar ever build.

[@driftthekaliyuga7502]

THE MAESTRO. Truly a great representative of Fender and the Stratocaster. Malmsteen and the strat are iconic and inseparable. I hope he continues to inspire us all to great tone and passion for guitar for years to come.

[@leavingweakness9927]

That updated/re-recorded version of Black Star at 5:43 is badass sounding with the modern drums and thicker bass tone!!

[@larswillsen]

Great to see a super quality video man! :)

[@E-MusicProductions]

La primera vez que escuché a Yngwie fue cuando tenia 14 años en el G3 con Joe Satriani junto a Steve Vai. El era el último en presentarse y cuando lo vi mi vida cambió para siempre, no tenía la menor idea que la guitarra pudiese usarse de tal forma. Desde ahí comenzó mi pasión por la música. People Rockin' in the Free World!

[@majicweather4890]

Wonderful video, outstanding quality documenting a living legend!

[@iking311]

Yngwie’s music will never go out of style. I started to liked playing leads because of Yngwie. Long live the Maestro!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Maestro still kills it. The power, precision, and showmanship that Yngwie displays is a testament to his drive to play his own style. My favorite guitarist alive today.

[@ricardolopez6194]

I have listened to his music all my life and he was my inspiration to start playing guitar... although I will never be able to be at his level. I'm just a few days away from getting my first Yngwie Malmsteen Signature, just a few days away from fulfilling one of my dreams! My guitar playing is inspired by Yngwie and that makes me very happy. When I found out that his “solos” were improvised I was a bit frustrated.... they are amazing, but that only reinforced my admiration.

[@anthonymcgill8035]

This is terrific…appreciate the enthusiasm Yngwie shows discussing his history with Fender.

[@Davidvel1033]

This to me... means happiness. Thanks Maestro

[@PGGilbert]

Yngwie rules! I love listening to him play!

[@juankplaysmusic]

Man, you have to give to Yngwie: he is always improvising his own songs and keeping it fresh!

[@tauronval1404]

This video is just amazing, a joy to watch an hymn to instruments guitar and passion for music!👌🏻…

[@johnnyteres]

You can tell he really comes to life when the subject is guitars, and more specifically his own collection. His joy and love for guitars is contagious.

[@sansubr]

Legend. The one and only.

[@braciole7667]

I will NEVER forget hearing the Yngwie Rising Force album for the 1rst time. No one else sounds like this guy. He is still an inspiration to me!

[@_Steve_Z]

Fantastic Video! Rock on Yngwie!

[@steveweilhart2359]

your hands like float over the neck the notes are so clear and fast freekin amazing - neo classical madness

[@DavidJosephBoth]

Yngwie looks great and seems happy!!

[@DGsixtyFour]

Bravo! A true legend with a legendary guitar!

[@hummarstraful]

I'm 120 years old and I've been listening to Yngwie since I was 82. He's like a damn Fender historian in this video. He inspired me to shred back then and I'm still shredding today. Thanks for all the inspiration, Maestro!!

[@Vincent.Duquesne.]

⭐The Master Forever ✨

[@roathripper]

beautiful piece on the Maestro. Great to see him healthy, fit and happy and playing as brilliantly as ever. He is my God.

[@AchilleasMantzios]

Thank you Mr YJM! You made our hearts smile with your music all thoses years. Since the Alcatraz era when I was blown away by your quality.

[@elproyectochapuis]

I love with the passion you talk about guitars man!!! That's awesome!. The world need more people like you!

[@queuerious]

It feels like YJM is experiencing a resurgence of interest and appreciation in his music and massive talent - headline interviews appearing all over the internet and beyond. Awesome!

[@dovesofwar1777]

Excellent he deserves this as he is a pioneer and a legend

[@flaviopugliese6360]

Maestro! Sei un grande! Originale e creativo! Saluti dall'Italia 👋🎸🔥

[@TruthCode77]

Our boy needs his own show. Awesome job to everyone involved in making this. Would be great to see more 😉

[@oiramsq73]

Fantastic! Great story - d'uh - Yngwie is one of the handful of players who literally changed the entire game; one of the players your friends would put on and say "have you heard THIS?" and from that moment on 'BOOM' it was a whole new realm of possibilities! Fantastic video! I'm glad to see Fender getting onboard with putting their story out there.

[@tanyat105]

My sister introduced me to your music in the late 80s. I was 18, and I loved your sound . Then babies and life came in between I'm a granny now, and today I came across your channel . Wow, it takes me back. You sound and look great, thank you for your inspiration and contribution to music .💓🎶

[@perttiheinikko3780]

who cannot love this man - he's one of the fastest.

[@lieslwindjulie3230]

What a collection! ✨🖤

[@1968aaaaa]

I bought my Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Signature in 1997 while listening to your albums over and over again. Since then, it has always had that same vanilla scent. I simply adore it, close to my soul, man.

[@deanblank5344]

Thanks to Yngwie, The Fender Stratocaster has become a symbol of focus and determination. Thank you Yngwie!

[@CHARLES-M]

Just bought a YJM Strat and couldn’t be more excited to receive it! Yngwie you’ve been a huge inspiration and have influenced my style of playing. Best wishes and always remember MORE IS MORE!

[@vovakavovaka-xr3kn]

ты крут Мужик. слушаю тебя всю свою жизнь

[@Jordanenberg]

the black star's part gave me chills i listen this track from his album every day since 20 years, at work, or at home a f**king masterpiece goosebumps every time Yngwie is by far ma favorite guitarist' artist, he is living legend et c'est mérité, personne ne peut prétendre être meilleur cet artiste est imcomparable, aussi bien en connaissance qu'en compétence, bonne chance aux autres :) immense respect😶

[@1992YR]

Cool video! Fender Stratocasters are the best! I know Yngwie feels great having such an amazing collection.

[@Indomitus_Guitar]

You are the best EL MAESTRO Yngwie Malmsteen 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Lightweight-ud9wt]

One of the greatest of all time but definitely the best vibrato of all time 👌 Thank you Yngwie for your music ❤️

[@user-ql1pc7pi9x]

Such dedication to his music and chosen instrument. A true master of his craft.

[@RaffaeleDanieleQuarta]

Caro Maestro, è un piacere vederti sempre in azione, a portare alta la corona del chitarrismo, quello vero, sudato e guadagnato. E anche la serie di Stratocasters lungo gli anni ti fa onore. 70 anni fa nasceva mio papà (RIP). e la Stratocaster. 1954 rules!!!

[@Istari_01]

Nice to see the maestro coming out of his shell, usually so shy and retiring. 🫠 Yngwie is a rare thing, an innovator, you can count them on one hand. Thanks for keeping me inspired and entertained since the 80’s. 💃🏽🕺🏽🍻🍻

[@Lukasz_KLAT]

I'm here thanks to Ola Englund! Long live YJM, love your music. Fender please continue this model (make a 7 string version too!)❤

[@derickdoveglass]

“It’s A Nuclear Violin” So badass

[@fredrikh3547]

Nuclear violin indeed, and the truest and purest guitar hero there ever was.

[@donfillinger3571]

Sounds so good here!!!

[@kennethtreadway483]

When "Rising Force" released, I was in my 3rd or 4th year of High School. I used to go to "The Record Bar" every weekend to find something new to listen to( how many remember the record bar?) Anyway, I was into Maiden,Priest, Sabbath, Floyd you know..the good ones :P So I'm browsing and I see a strat in flames on this album cover and I think to myself, this has got to be good, I had a strat copy at the time (David Gilmour was my fav geetar picker) so I bought the record and hurried home. Mind Blown on the first track "Black Star" got to see him open for AC/DC when they were touring "For Those About to Rock" nobody in the crowd new who he was , except us fortunate ones lol, but they sure did after his set. Thank you Yngwie for all the fun times listening to that old record .

[@brandon_945]

I’m so glad fender put this together, and I can’t think of a better ambassador for the Stratocaster. I mean come on, Miami landscape, red Ferrari with a Rolex laden hand on the shifter, and a collection of Strats - Fender nailed it! 🤘🏻 🎸

[@tammy5938]

You really love that 🎸 guitar!!! And why you love it.

[@fabiencourtoistapping]

GREAT !!! yngwie !!! thanks so much !i ve follow you since the beguinning !! your feeling is huge ! from france

[@EyeofLevi]

Phenominal video. Mr. Malmsteen you sir are a legend.

[@Hardyboi-h8x]

So passionate after everything that he has done one of the coolest things to see

[@KingThrak]

That was awesome....Yngwie's tone, intonation, and choice of notes are always perfect....A master guitar player!!! Truly one of the greats....A true original!!!

[@joebolick112]

Great interview! Hope to see more high quality production interviews with YJM!

[@robroy4058]

Such a passionate musican. A true master.

[@jamesorion1986]

I grew up listening to the absolute best like Clapton, Gilmore and Knoppler, who inspired me to start playing but Yngwie was the one who inspired me to up my game and get passionate about it.
