😮 Wow. I think what people don’t understand is that this is far more then just shredding, its pure musicianship. Simply brilliant. Bravo 👏

[@johnl.7890]

After reading your comment, I watched the video again from a new perspective of musicianship. And wow, this performance is deeper and cooler now. Thank you sir.

[@tucko11]

It’s crazy cuz Yngwie can play all those notes exactly the same as he written it (live) versus Hendrix and or Clapton who rarely play it the same meaning also Rhoads who could double his own solos , yngwie is a true composer in that sense . Not knocking any of the other legends I mentioned . Fyi he claims he never listens to Hendrix yet it inspired him to pick up and play 🤔

[@scottpekrul9556]

@@tucko11 Agreed--they're all great guitarist. I remember when I was in my teens in the 80's, we used to debate who was "the greatest" guitarist. LOL. Some were in the EVH camp, some in the Page camp, some Rhodes. It was serious at the time and it got heated🤣 ,but now just seems so silly. They're all amazing in their own right and you really can't compare them. It's very subjective. But I'd argue that Malmsteen was one of the best simply because he opened an entire new genre and is not only technically awesome, but was also an inventor. Sure, there are guitarist now who can play faster and even cleaner, but YM opened the door and is so artistic. I'd say the same for Rhodes. There are technically better guitarist, but his artistic skills and style, IMO, are unmatched in the Metal genre. Page was very sloppy, especially compared to someone like YM, but how can anyone say he wasn't one of the greatest? The creativity, the feel,...Just can't compare some of them. Same for EVH--yes, there are technically better, but EVH blew the door open and he wrote awesome songs

[@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy]

​man, what was it like to be a teen in the 80s? Must've been awesome! Hard rock and metal were pretty huge back then!

[@MartialGolf]

@@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy Yeah, it was awesome. I was in my teens. Saw him at a relatively small club called the Country Club in LA just after he released Rising Force-in 85. We were already fans from the Alcatraz and Steeler days so we were in awe. I’ve been to too many concerts to count in the 80s. Some of the best: Rush, AC/DC, Iron Maiden (in their prime), Dio. So many great concerts

[@digitaldesigner5284]

Listening to YM is a trip.

[@robertlee4809]

I saw Yngwie in 1985 in Seattle. I was 15...and had just started playing a few months before i went to this show. Blown away is an understatement! I was 12 feet from him the entire show! It was fking transcendent! Nobody was doing this at that time! Nobody! And i loved classical music from an early age, and when i heard a guitar player doing some of the same stuff, i had to go see the dude. Black and Blue, and Saxxon also played that night. I never did learn how to shred like this, but it did light a fire for guitar playing. I'm still playing at 55 years old😂😊❤ my cool ass step-dad bought tickets and actually WENT WITH ME! 😂 He had on slacks, an argyle sweater, loafers😂😂i had holy jeans, leather jacket, an earing. He got stoned as hell before we left the house. Think he had more fun than me😂😂

[@colten2524]

Your story makes me wish I was around at that time to see all happen. I'm glad you had fun times.

[@metalhead_1996]

nice story mate, 🎉

[@metalEric69]

My story was the same, timewise, but I was 16, in Denver, and my dad strictly forbid me to go. And guess what

[@robwitherell9013]

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I completely forgot about this guy! He literally took what Randy Rhoads did, and took it to the next level! So many guitarists inspired by this guy. So much respect!!!!

[@BryanSenatore-x6w]

MAD respect

[@HutchFan24]

This is what should have been on the album. Absolutely INCREDIBLE guitar work!

[@HutchFan24]

I should add, that it’s kinda funny in the sense that he almost looks disappointed after finishing the song. Like “Man, that was fun! What? The song’s over? Aww man 🙁. Now what?”

[@blapblapblapblap]

I used to think the same thing until I heard Jill's version of the song. Really made me appreciate that the studio version was more structured and less noodling per se.

[@imglidinhere]

I have never found another guitarist like Yngwie to have such *angelic* vibrato.

[@Aerlioz]

Its his scalloped fretboard. Its a something completely different between guitarists. It feels like you’re just touching the strings like a keytar and allows superb bending abilities. But its something that you cant just pick up and have that talent, you have to have been playing scalloped frets since you started playing. Absolutely amazing control that he expresses his vibrato as a complete example of perfection.

[@2paktolife]

​@@Aerlioz He has the same vibrato with other guitars

[@Aerlioz]

@@2paktolife hey, you build a technique and it becomes part of your playing for ever.

[@hectorguzman8435]

Joe Stump, Walter Giardino, Luca Turili are some of my favorites.

[@sly9263]

There are none better. You can claim others had more mainstream songs that attracted a larger fanbase, but Yngwie is by far the most technically gifted. None of the other "greats" that top the list could replicate this, but Yngwie could play their songs while asleep.

I've listened to this off and on over the years, and my opinion of it hasn't changed: this is the best version of the song he or anyone else has played (at least compositionally). Everywhere he should zig, he zigs. Everywhere he should zag, he zags. Somewhere in some universe, there is the perfect version of this song, and I wonder if this is the closest we'll get to it in ours.

As someone who is learning guitar right now, this seems impossible. I mean like it literally can’t be done. The amount of coordination and technical mastery required to hit all these notes flawlessly cannot be overstated.

[@Aerlioz]

You can make it. I was able to play a fast major scale up and down from obsesive practice. I strayed away from playing like that, now a fusion jazz guitarist at high level. But i dont recommend to copy other guitarists. Its ok to have influences. But find yourself in guitar. Play what makes you, YOU. Be true to yourself and for a while, play ONLY the things you like. Not to impress anyone, but to make yourself happy. The goal is to find yourself through music. It will be tough in the beginning. But i tell ypu rightnow, i cant live without playing, now that i can play exactly what i hear in my mind and feel in the feels. You’ll get there man. It kinda even helps with the ladies, but my stuff is more like explaing a science project; its esoteric and an erudite topic.

Everyone watches his left hand, which is indeed amazing, but it's his right hand that's almost preternatural. Just look at that picking technique, talk about efficiency of motion. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

[@hunter00143]

The picking hand is what separates the boys from the men, Yngwie, Eric Johnson, etc all have legendary tier picking technique

[@tuegy]

My problem with most teachers is they don't focus enough on right hand technique. Thankfully I found one who is all about it

[@ianpearce7121]

He has the best picking hand in the business. Will not see a more relaxed and economic motion and I've been watching the speedsters

[@someone7507]

And the best thing is that he said he never thought about how he holds the pick or what technique he is using. He just wanted to get better at playing :))). This is where will shall get you, and not all the videos or other training materials. You must want to get better and do it!

[@raulgutierrez7139]

I was wondering why it sounded a bit off. Then noticed the E part. I mean... Sounds good stil cause it's perfect to begin with but that slight drop he does is where his signature sound is. So some of his emphasis is missed. In my opinion.

[@brownholecharles]

Naw, the uploader used a program that alters pitch. Yngwie tunes his Fenders down a half-step so he's playing Eb but uploader raised the pitch .. probably because so many players only have one guitar and retuning is a bit of a pain especially if you got a floating tremolo.

[@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy]

​@@brownholecharlesI think it sounds really cool in E personally

[@brownholecharles]

@@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy agreed! I might be wrong about the uploader changing the pitch.. this could really be Yngwie playing standard E 440hz tuning
