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

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

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

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

That was cool, thanks for shredding!

@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).

[@thebaneofyourexistence.3377]

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. 👍

[@stratosexual1329]

Step 1 get $1,000 worth of lessons and still come up short.

[@FrankFurther]

Came looking for this exact comment

[@aaronhiggs]

Lol. So accurate. I knew a kid in HS who was a true shredder ; took lessons for a year to just play black star. Still can’t play it today correctly. Lol

[@mikelundquist4596]

Dang it... you beat me to that comment.

[@Eefaux]

Step 2 practice for 1000 hours and still come up short.

[@stratosexual1329]

@@Eefaux but still keep trying

[@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 :)

[@justjames1138]

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

[@dreamwever87]

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

[@cyclesgoff9768]

Nice to see Dagans dad.

[@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!

[@JesseLeeKing]

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

[@staceysmith967]

He’s back! Love this guy

[@thatpeterboy]

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

[@batutasci]

Finally some Yngwie video🤘🏼

[@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!

[@jamesbarrybrooks6564]

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

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

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

[@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.

[@ZoltanLiptay]

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

[@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.

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

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

Love Nick! What a fantastic player!

Like Nick as a presenter 🤘

So do I, but sometimes brevity is a virtue 🙂

[@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!

[@trfgod3095]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Krullmatic]

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

[@krzysztofwaleska]

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

[@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

[@thebaneofyourexistence.3377]

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.

[@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

[@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?

[@Gene_Cali]

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

[@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!

[@jwilder2251]

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

[@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.

[@kingrobthegreat1]

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

[@adamsan7494]

Great video and I like Nick.👍

[@shanewalton8888]

Finally an Yngwie episode!

[@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!

[@RobinDeLeon_]

Great video!

[@olid7947]

wow, holy this is a nice rig

[@Sticky_Tea]

Sound like Yngwie with under a 1000 Marshalls

[@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.

[@davedavem]

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

[@1972Georges]

Very interesting Sound Like.

[@DEZZA12]

That tone is just tasty damn

[@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

[@Tone-Quest]

Nick is amazing 🎉

[@joshsmith7033]

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

[@chromebuoy]

Nick (The Savage) Jennison. 🎸🔥🔥

[@taztherocker1489]

It’s definitely one of his best tones.

[@Savaios]

Wich speaker u guys recommends?

[@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)

[@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.

[@tuomastimonen7063]

Nice! Next How to Sound Like Bill Steer!

[@givethedrummersome]

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

[@chacha134]

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

[@DTGuitarTech]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@alexandrebier4581]

Awesome vid! But I miss some Dave and Queenie!

[@Mika-gd2ok]

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

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@stephencarey6114]

Brilliant

[@stringrip]

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

[@davedavem]

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

[@davidknipe3536]

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

[@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.

[@macgibbon]

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

[@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.

[@christineayres7199]

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

[@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. 🙂

[@jrcaprai]

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

[@claymor8241]

Stalker alert.

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

Nick is a good addition to the andertons KZbin channel

[@davroshalfbeard8368]

Great fun canny beat a bit of the Swedish magician nick nailed it for under a grand

[@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.

[@michaeldean7220]

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

[@ActivateBeastMode1]

Honestly should have used the spark amp with an Yngwie preset

[@EightPieceBox]

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

[@robertmazurowski5974]

You get Yngwie sound with standard strat pickups no problem.

[@DavidHunterChunkyRiffs]

Awesome playing. More Nick on the channel please! Can you do an act like Yngwie video too? Just get the captain to walk around the shop acting like a complete bellend threatening to sue everyone 😂😂😂

[@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.

[@devilsdoorbell]

I want a distortion that crunches like the eyeglasses.

[@ripfulci]

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

[@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.

[@Ric007Mason]

Mxr distortion + is the same circuit at dod 250

[@namnefternamn5463]

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

[@bentenpeterson]

8:49 look it’s the blonde hair caddy boy from Happy Gilmore!

[@JoeBaermann]

Fury is SD, Dimarzio did supply him the HS3

[@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!!!!

The YJM Fury pickups are made by Seymour Duncan not DiMarzio

[@NeilJ894]

Rest In Pieces glasses.

[@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.
