How to Sound Like Yngwie Malmsteen Under £1000!

[@guitarlair]

That dive bomb at the end detuned that Squier for the next 5 years.

[@lazarj]

You have no idea how hard i just laughed. thank you 😂

[@musiclabtr]

Bruhh WHAHAHAAHA

[@tonyflorez703]

Hahahaa😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NickJennison]

This was definitely not an elaborate excuse to have a go in that JHS pedal 😂… Thanks again for having me boys!

[@DudeMcGuybro]

All it cost was a pair of glasses.... that's what ya get for being better than me ya guitar nerd! 😂

[@BillieSwift]

Hoping to see you cover Shawn Lane at some point.

[@kimbartlett9527]

That was cool, thanks for shredding!

[@zxcvbqm]

@Andertons Music Co 3:29 The YJM Fury pickups are made by Seymour Duncan. The dimarzios Are HS3 and HS4 (formerly known as YJM model used for the neck) the 1st pickups he used when he moved to the USA were dimarzio FS1 as seen in his alcatrazz backstage video (1984).

[@ItsJustRyan89]

Nerd alert! Well spotted though man.

[@ODPTV1]

I feel like dimarzios current stacked single coil pickups even the Paul Gilbert signatures give a real yngwie sound imo

[@ij8502]

Yea lol and the yjm fury’s are stacked coils making them humcbuckers and they rate at a rediculous 23-24 ohms

[@zxcvbqm]

@@ij8502 Both the YJM Fury and Dimarzio HS3/HS4 are stacked coils. Dimarzio HS3 - 23.72k Ohm Duncan YJM - 25.7k Ohm. Despite minimal difference in DC resistance you are correct. The YJM is waaay hotter than the HS3. I have both the HS3 and YJM fury pickups. I prefer the HS3 as they sound like true single coils.

[@misanthrope0]

so ur saying u gotta buy YJm exact signiature strat?

[@erwinstang70studiosk64]

When you switched strings, I heard a big difference, sounding closer to Yngwie. I like it. 👍

[@RisingPhoenixNK]

Yngwie’s first two albums with Steeler and Alcatraz was in standard tuning btw.

[@SeanDS1989]

Also, I just gotta say, Nick is a welcome addition to Andertons videos! Keep being awesome man :)

[@michaelsnydermusic]

Sounds like Nick is really busy but I for one would love to see more of him on the channel. He’s super knowledgeable and each of his videos here I have come away entertained and educated. Thanks guys!

[@thatpeterboy]

Really great! More of Nick please..great guy great player. How good did that Squier sound!

[@dreamwever87]

Great to see Yngwie's sound being covered. And it's quite nailed-on for the price!

[@leogolive]

My wife bought me this exact guitar for Christmas and I absolutely love it! It’s become my number one. I haven’t played my other (expensive) guitars since!

[@justjames1138]

This feels like an episode of a cooking show. Love it.

[@Bertyification]

The captain takes it back! So do I! Not one wasp in a jar but hundreds of them - all sweetly singing to Yingwie! Wow! Drop Eb and it sound brighter that higher tension E - I’m not a shredder but have always loved yingwie (more is MORE!!) Great vid Nick @ cap A!

[@yjmsrv]

When you switched strings and tuned down to Eb Yngwie showed up- although I think that has a lot more to do with Eb then the strings- would have been fun to hear it separately... but that's the sound!

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

The difference when he switched strings and dropped a half step was like night and day.

[@Krullmatic]

Just tuning to Eb, and getting more vibrato, did the trick. You don't necessarily need lighter gauge strings.

[@kingrobthegreat1]

Lee couldn't be bothered to listen to this guy waffle 😂 I personally appreciated all the detail.

[@staceysmith967]

He’s back! Love this guy

[@Gene_Cali]

Next time, Let's us raise our glasses for Yngwie. Thanks Andertons.

[@jamesbarrybrooks6564]

I loved that! Squier strat sounded great through the Origin Marshall.

[@rogerf7265]

The person that I first learned used light gauge strings was Leslie West. On Mississippi Queen he actually ditched his standard low E moved the other strings down one slot and then used a banjo A string for his high E since at the time light gauge guitar strings didn't exist at the time. Mountain along with Cream pretty much blew me away.

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

I love the string discussion, perhaps a demo of the same model guitars, same pickups same neck type, all with different gauge strings compared would make for a stimulating upload

[@JesseLeeKing]

I really found this episode very captiviting and really enjoyed his playing.

[@batutasci]

Finally some Yngwie video🤘🏼

[@mattalexander8816]

Nick used to be my instrumental guitar tutor back during my music degree course! :) Huge excitement seeing him on Andertons TV just now too! All the best! Matt.

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

As a fanboy of Yngwie myself, I LOVED this!!! It's settled it for me, I NEED an Origin 20 amp. (might even go head and cab) I'm lucky enough to have a DOD YJM 308 pedal somewhere (if it still works!) so that's good. One thing though, you didn't mention Yngwie's 1.5mm dunlop picks. I've found in my own, rather limited, playing that pick material and thickness can affect the tone a lot. What was Nick using here?

[@davidf2281]

Not listened to any Malmsteen for at least thirty years but this was really interesting 👍 Edit: That sweep picking at around 21:10 was mighty impressive

[@ItsJustRyan89]

You’re not missing much

[@shanewalton8888]

Please listen to more Yngwie

[@TheCyberMantis]

Check out LOVEBITES. Miyako and Midori are the new twin guitar attack in the metal world. They do synchronized sweeping.

[@ephil105]

I have two of Yngwie’s plectrums from the late 80’s - they are ridiculously thick.

[@Nghilifa]

1.5mm delrin iirc.

[@mickeystanic4750]

I got 3 of those with his signature at his concert in late 1990. Nothing thick as those fat purple Dunlops I use.

[@arthurmurfitt7698]

Started out with Fender extra heavy

[@OgamiItto70]

There's something that happens in Yngwie's attack. My mental nickname for it is "breaking glass." There's a glassy "tink!" that happens right at the beginning of the note. It's easiest to hear it on those passages where he _really_ gets under way and lets rip a seriously fast flurry of notes. It almost (but not quite) sounds like he's playing with a stainless steel pick. I think it's a function of the single-coil pickups. I didn't hear that on this rig until the strings were changed and the guitar was tuned down half a step. Then, boom! There it was.

[@applesauceblues6952]

Could be pick material maybe. Idk if you remember them but Purple Plectrum picks give that exact sound with every note I hit. Like a little squeak with every note hit

[@garygrinkevich6971]

Really makes an A chord and the accompanying a harmonic minor run sound legit. its always magic to go back to 1975 and try the old ways, this rig would kill at parties.

[@ivorharden]

Yes. I've been waiting 10 years for this.

[@tomfairbairn1202]

Like Nick as a presenter 🤘

[@fusionfan6883]

So do I, but sometimes brevity is a virtue 🙂

[@ZoltanLiptay]

The Andertons video I have been waiting for a very loooong time :D

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Respect you didn't spend 20 minutes milking the unboxing like some channels would lol

[@SeanDS1989]

0:25 man, Ernie Ball makes so many strings lol... I use the slightly slinkier ones on my Strat (8 - 38) and they are a lot of fun! for anyone that uses 9s or anything higher, try 8s! they might take a little getting used to, but they are phenominal for easy bends, and sound just as great as other gauges. (Beato did a video showing that string gauge doesn't affect ton)

[@thewholeroll]

I've heard Yngwie say in interviews that the big headstock actually makes a difference in the tone! Also four bolt necks vs. three. Interesting!

[@trfgod3095]

Nick’s a proper beast on a guitar, omg!

[@DTGuitarTech]

My favourite line was “scalloped frets, get a spoon!”

[@CalOnGuitar]

Chances are, Yngwie blocked Andertons on all socials for this video /s

[@Sticky_Tea]

Sound like Yngwie with under a 1000 Marshalls

[@MikeSingSing]

Since the DOD 250 was kind of a copy of the MXR Distrotion +, i'd say that would be a bit of a way to save cash instead of buying the JHS Preamp.

[@namnefternamn5463]

Doesn´t have as much gain. A Dist + is kinda like a 250 on 10 instead of 12. 🙂

[@SeanDS1989]

HELL YEAH! this should be fun... I'll admit I don't know much about Yngwie, but ever since Robert Baker did a video about his song "Ship of Fools", I've been very interested in him lol

[@danieljones8706]

On the topic of hum cancelling pickups, if someone is really dedicated, you can always buy some. I bought mine for about $200 used.

[@OriginalDarkMark]

Great, in-depth looks of the tones for of a great player. What you mist though, is Gauss level in pickup. Mr Y wore nearly 140lb of cheap alloy finger ear and neck jewel which is of magneticism and in sound of pickup. And tonely signifricant, string of amp in back looking of sound. Double of import to copy for make real. I do not criticitisise great video for finding and detective make answer 👍🏻 Please forgive of my English - I'm English.

[@jwilder2251]

Guys like Nick and Rabea really make these videos fun even to us dad-rockers

[@84homey]

Thank you, Nick is amazingly knowledgeable, yet again I'm really impressed. I could definitely hear the difference with the different strings. I really struggled with strings until I found the Fender Hendrix set, which has 10s on the bottom 3 and 9s on the heavier 3 strings, and that made all the difference for me with my too-wimpy-for-proper-10s fingers. Just a thought to add to the mix for others still looking. Nick and Lee, please can you show us how to get a Ritchie Blackmore Deep Purple Machine Head era tone? I would seriously love that!

[@shanewalton8888]

Finally an Yngwie episode!

[@davidknipe3536]

The Fury pickups in Malmsteen Strat are Seymour Duncan, not Dimarzio

[@givethedrummersome]

"why are you qualified to talk about whoever this is" "we're the same size and shape" kill me

[@PeterWasted]

I wonder how many people are out there with £1000 to spend who want to sound like Yngwie? I would be very interested to see how well suited that rig is to other playing styles. I suspect it would do quite well! Perhaps you could take a look at a few of the

[@alexandretellini2677]

I worked some years ago in a local production for an YJM concert's. After the soundcheck his guitar was resting at a couch on the dressing room... Nobody was there except me and that creamy strat... You know... We had some wild moments... LoL... He actually uses 0.10 low strings and 0.008 high strings.

[@WillfulThinker]

I've found that bridge saddles make a noticeable difference in tone quality, I bet if you replace those Squier saddles with Fender steel bent saddles, you will get closer to Yngwie's tone.

[@jaimel2037]

YJM..was also out of tune a lot of the time in the early days so this wasn’t too far off.😅✌️

[@disturb3dm3talh3ad]

I might be wrong but I could swear that I heard the Electro-Harmonix Glove was a derivative clone of the DOD 250/Fulltone OCD/MXR Distortion+ circuit.

[@macgibbon]

The YJM Fury pickups are Seymour Duncans, the old YJM was Dimarzio. Not to be confusing.

[@andreaferrero6533]

Great playing, Nick definitely nails Yngwe's vibrato. Tone was ok in the high notes, definitely lacking in the low strings. Maybe it's the 10 inch speaker.

[@taztherocker1489]

It’s definitely one of his best tones.

[@davedavem]

Aww the glasses break! Expensive day at the orfice for Nick 😬

[@Cayres9]

I got the Yngwie tone with an old Ibanez Guitar , an and an old Kustom KGA 30 watt amp no pedals needed and total spend £250 lol if you have been playing over 10 years its not hard to get that Yngwie sound

[@alexandrebier4581]

Awesome vid! But I miss some Dave and Queenie!

[@joshsmith7033]

Those pedals are HUGE!!! Dear God!!!

[@davedavem]

Si is a silicon transistor. I'm guessing x75 is an op-amp?

[@krzysztofwaleska]

Great video! I'm a big Yngwie Malmsteen idol!

[@Mika-gd2ok]

I miss the "walking though the store" part a lot!!

[@LucasMastropasqua]

Love Nick! What a fantastic player!

[@chacha134]

Is that a tele with a pink pick guard on that guitar rack in the back corner?

[@williamsats9327]

@Nick Jennison unfortunately Yngwie doesn't play with DiMarzios for the last 11-12 years...... YJM Fury are made by Seymour Duncan...... Also his signature strings are 8-46 from Fender and his Strats' setup got only two springs.

[@botbot3698]

guys whats the light blue guitar in the background?

[@DEZZA12]

That tone is just tasty damn

[@jrcaprai]

I drive by Yngwie's House every day to and from Work.

[@claymor8241]

Stalker alert.

[@jrcaprai]

@@claymor8241 Should I drive a different road to work just to make you happy?

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Nick is incredible. Big fan. But Yngwie used SD's as well: Seymour Duncan STK-S10s YJM Fury Yngwie Malmsteen .

[@michaeldean7220]

What makes the unique tone is obviously the Ferrari stickers on the back. How did they miss that? :)

[@nigelsmith721]

13:15 This "string gauge" commentary should be made law.

[@stringrip]

Would be good if Squier Affinity did make a scalloped strat even if had to have higher price.

[@here-is-my-profile]

Same again with a larger budget please.

[@PetersRockinTheWorld]

I think you could swap the JHS for a Mosky DOD250 copy and get the Celestion G12-T75. Without this speaker you really won't get that tone.

[@liys540]

Maybe using bluguitar amp 1 ( vintage ) with jhs overdrive preamp achieved the sound you looking for because mercury amp 1 is more towards to vintage plexi tone but not modern tone

[@namnefternamn5463]

Nope, the Bluguitar really doesn´t like the 250. It sounds horrible screechy together.

[@cyclesgoff9768]

Nice to see Dagans dad.

[@chromebuoy]

Nick (The Savage) Jennison. 🎸🔥🔥

[@ActivateBeastMode1]

Honestly should have used the spark amp with an Yngwie preset

[@Savaios]

Wich speaker u guys recommends?

[@Foghornish]

There should be an island like in Enter the Dragon where guitarists go to see who sounds most like Yngwie. Elmo Karjalainen and Nick Jennison would no doubt make it to the final. Yngwie himself would be Mr Han and Mr Lee rolled into one.

[@seansmith6455]

Add Panos Arvanitis to the list. Amazing YJM influenced player and a great musician in his own right.

[@joshuafreedman7703]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[@olid7947]

wow, holy this is a nice rig

[@foggyblues13]

You can sound like Yngwie for free. Just keep repeating to yourself "I am the greatest ever, kiss my ring."

[@kleinereisber]

And switch your bandmates for every single album u do 😂

[@tuomastimonen7063]

Nice! Next How to Sound Like Bill Steer!

[@RobinDeLeon_]

Great video!

[@dezertson2011]

Rig sounded like a mosquito farting into the microphone. Playing was good.

[@myuncle2]

1st Missing link: crank the volume. Pushing power tubes can be done at home with a good power attenuator. 2nd missing link: 4x12. These two things are even more important than the pickups used.

[@Nghilifa]

True. It's impossible to get the sound without cranking the amp.

[@JKM395]

Step one: Practice like a madman for roughly twenty years.

[@garycole4287]

The YJM Fury pickups are made by Seymour Duncan not DiMarzio

[@adamsan7494]

Great video and I like Nick.👍

[@JesseLeeKing]

What mm of pick did yngwie use? And what brand? Anyone know?

[@WillfulThinker]

1.5mm Dunlop. As Yngwie likes to say, he has a very stiff pick.

[@ripfulci]

I was not expecting the difference the lighter strings make to be as obvious as it was.

[@Tone-Quest]

Nick is amazing 🎉

[@robertmazurowski5974]

You get Yngwie sound with standard strat pickups no problem.

[@NeilJ894]

Rest In Pieces glasses.

[@EightPieceBox]

I prefer watching the guys shop in the store first, deciding what are the right choices.

[@JedNadin]

Straight up, that wasn’t the tone. Shades of it, maybe? I blame the Origin, be it the amp or the way it was set. You need a fair bit more gain coming out of the amp before you slam it with the 250. Then, the pickups help a lot. I run a JCM2000 on the lead 1, gain around 3/4, and any iteration of the 250/308/Fender YJM and it’s just THERE. The little VS100 in my garage even does a serviceable job at speech volumes.

[@namnefternamn5463]

Exactly! A Vox AC10 or 15 would have been much better choice I think.

[@mikesbadopinions9671]

A little too muddy to be a Malmsteen tone in my opinion. The eq is spot on. You’re close but something in one of the gain stages is just not right. Don’t know if it’s in the amp or the od pedal.

[@mazetujuh]

Nope.. Overgain and muddy tone. Completely not plexi ish. My hunch it's the speaker needs Tobe replaced with v shape type celestion. And the Marshall Origin needs Plexi simulator preamp first boosted with that overdrive. But thanks for demonstration. It gives us some idea at least.

[@Cayres9]

Also i do not understand why people pay £1500 for a USA Strat when a modern Squier Affinity will do the job , just swap the pickups and the pots and you have a guitar that will do as good a job , Max Ostro in his early days of youtube always used a Squier and got this tone
