Yngwie Malmsteen - How to Play Fast

[@ricdale7813]

His picking movements are as economical as you can get. One of the smoothest pick hands I have ever seen.

[@brandon_945]

He was a phenomenon when he first came on the scene, but he actually got better through the years. Through all the fame he still committed himself to his craft and got better. It’s always nice to see an artist maintain that kind of dedication

[@Boudica234]

The thing that impresses me the most about Yngwie and other masters isn't the speed. It's their knowledge and mastery of the entire fretboard. They can go up and down in every key imaginable. Never ceases to blow me away.

[@steveognenovski3112]

I can't get over how humble he is here...he's not shitting on other styles..just explaining his thought process...his musical theory is amazing....he is totally unique...God bless him...

[@keithdearellano]

Thank you for posting this. Every lesson helps. We can't get enough.

[@ninjalife8467]

Yngwie isn`t a shredder guy he is a ROCK MAN, all his sound and live performance is much more than just playing fast. he is an artist. Noone beats him till today/

[@rajarajanperiasamy7474]

He is no ordinary human. His thought process is another level. Thanks for taking the time to teach us YJM.

[@Xyphra]

The older I get, the more I love Yngwie. Reignited my love for the harmonic minor and diminished scales

[@edlobato1251]

Just grateful to be on this planet when Yngwie Malmsteen came along.

[@hyperdog67]

When I discovered when Rising Force came out, that he was playing bass, my mission statement approaching bass guitar became different. I challenged myself to learn the bass to every song on that album. THAT'S what I love so much about Yngwie.. he inspires one to BE better.. can't go wrong with that in mind.

[@timothyhungate8123]

THEE Maestro!!!! My dad was a guitar player all his life and tried to get me into it and I wasn't interested in it. That all changed in 1984-85ish when I walked in to my friends apartment and he had Black Star jamming on the stereo. That moment changed my life! I remember saying " I had no idea a guitar could be played like that!" Thank you, Yngwie!!!! I love you man!

[@VenomousSpacePony]

6:57 might be one of the best Yngwie Q&A's of all time. Are you just doing straight alternate picking? "Not when i go to different strings!" What do you do? "uhm, i don't know... actually, i don't, haven't looked at that, but we can look at it" Pure genius. Yngwie is the best to ever pick up a guitar IMO

[@theshapeexists]

Paganini didn't write his 24 caprices thinking "less is more". Dont get me wrong, I love all the great guitar players, but if they all had the same motto of less is more, music would be boring. Yngwie is already a legend and his legacy will be cemented with the likes of his major influences in baroque, romantic, and classical music.

[@mattyandthefam2313]

I love how it sounds like he's picking every single note at ludicrous speeds. And then to see a close up of his picking hand and realize it's mostly hammers and pulls is utterly amazing. Wow yngwie will always be a legend

[@scottsteel2395]

It never ceases to amaze me just how good Yngwie really is. He is an absolutely brilliant musician.✌

[@Grimmir]

That first riff blew my face off, amazing!

[@jimmyc5498]

Still ripping our heads off, even hard rock blues playing that pretty much smokes everything out there. Salute Maestro!

[@chrislestermusic]

His vibrato is still stunning.

[@t3hgir]

I recently changed strings on my Ibanez RG (lowest action of all my guitars) and had to do a neck adjustment. I thought "let's raise the action like Yngwie said" , wow the sustain and tone!!! I definitely had it too low and was choking the string vibration. I was lucky to take some private lessons with a Mr. DC of DC custom guitars and feel like a part of the shred brotherhood!

[@warrennelson2925]

Wow ! Been listening to Ywgwie since the Steeler record and he still blows me away ! Incredible 🤘

[@SunaKhei93]

I have watched this video so many times when I first started learning advanced guitar playing. This really help me with my playing.

[@winstonsmith8240]

Apart from having the most astonishing technique, you are the least pretentious and most amusing of all the greats. Thank-you. As for the lesson? We live in hope.

[@digitalcomplexity]

Phrygian Dominant ---- most favorite scale I use in all my music i produce from Guitar to Electronic ---- love it!!! YM huge influence til this day!

[@MrJackal43]

People that don’t like Yngwie don’t know him.... he’s cool AF and a top notch player and treats people well.

[@precbsfender]

The brilliance of master Yngwie and his scalloped neck.. Amazing 👏

[@andreicraiesti]

In just one simple ideea...you mister are and still be remaining..the best guitarist in the world.! ...greetings from a huge fan from : Romania. that ..strat its a dreamy guitar.

[@daroanvimusen]

The Master, the One and Only

[@dylankopff1935]

When I first heard malmsteen I thought this has got to be the limit I was blown away how he is this good I still can't comprehend he's is in 7 billion

[@JUANGASPAR73]

Espectacular,grande, Maestro!!!👏👏👏

[@michaelmckinleyprincehorn61]

I've always been a basic guitar player. Blues and country but have been getting into your videos lately. Thank you for posting. I appreciate it.

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

Love or hate his work, 5:42 is great advice. If you know what you want to sound like, you can work towards it. Not satisfied? Identify what works and what doesn't and move on ahead!

[@Nirsterkur]

Yngwie for the President of the Republic of Guitar players around the globe!

[@tammymcdaniel2010]

Truly amazing. Thank you Yngwie for your contribution to guitar playing. Learn alot from you. God bless.

[@daronolenus3911]

8 hours a day 7 days a week I still could not play like him. Absolutely a incredible guitarist

[@ROKZLEON]

I like how he runs through his playing style like it's nothing when it's really something!

[@TrillBill]

Interviewer: "What do you call that style of picking?" Yngwie: "I don't know" 😂

[@Eddie-In-Las-Vegas]

Scalloped frets too help with lightning speed and practices the ear to press the frets just right so the note is at the correct pitch.

[@Surgicalshred]

Stunning performance from the Miestro!

[@nigel7880]

What a GREAT teacher! Thanks for this!

[@fabiencourtoistapping]

THE BEST pionner of neo classique guitar

[@Theosis78]

Oh man, Yngwie packs into 10 minutes what other instructional videos would take 1 hour to do. And the content is brillant.

[@Grumpy_CBG]

35+ years a fan, and still get blown away watching his playing, Gods do walk amongst us. Yngwie is one of them.

[@hildegerdhaugen7864]

Yngve, kjempeartig å høre om teknikkene dine, og historiene bak.

[@brianokane1698]

We love YJM - Keeping it cool - Thanks an Irish man in Kobe Japan 🤟

[@roddyg3692]

Thank you for sharing the difference between "boxed-in" arpeggios and linear arpeggios (as in violin, viola, violoncello, upright bass, acoustic bass and bass fiddle). I have been trying to teach these different ways of playing over many years.

[@JoshuaWah]

“Whatever comes out soundin’ bitchin’” words to live by honestly

[@jaguarcesar]

More is more! Thank you so much, dear master and guitar god Yngwie Malmsteen!

[@manoo422]

Me: How do I play fast? Yngwie: Just do this.....!!

[@maxxschneider5534]

"Looks like you are knitting" I love that. Your right hand hardly moves. Its all from your fingertips.

[@sffl83]

Before the video starts I already give a like. Helping the legend to get another Ferrari 🤘

[@bushje]

B I T C H I N!! thanks yngwie!! love it!!

[@jorgemartins1738]

This is awesome. Great learn from the master...

[@michaelscaccia1454]

I will say this that scalloped fretboard does contribute to his speed and smoothness. He'd be incredible without it, it's certainly not a crutch but it definitely does help

[@blorps5849]

always found it interesting how Django and gypsy players use the phrygian dom on the 5 as well w the diminshed arps and triad inversions as w bach and lots of other classical and bebop players..music is such a world language. lots of it comes down to phrasing, how u do it and what's the drummer doing, what's the feel underneath etc

[@HENRIAALTO]

Thank you Master Yngwie!

[@alessandroinglese4238]

Title should be "watch at Yngwie playing fast once again" haha. Furthermore, his "slow" is our fast 🤣 the Maestro

[@saktikaardhani9153]

I love this....

[@xmoose9]

At the start of the video I was like, oh I forgot to dial KZbin player back to normal speed from x1.5, and then I saw that no it's actually on normal! Amazing Metal Maestro

[@tyg715]

Thnx for lesson ... hoping for more

[@ZenGuitarShred]

Yngwie sei Il piu grande!

[@CalebePriester]

At first I did think the video was speed up for about 1.5 times, but it wasn't, he is playing that fast in reality!

[@tomasengstrom6362]

YES!!!! More IS More!!!!

[@ItsJustRyan89]

Yes, his left hand is insane, but look at the economy of the picking hand movement- amazing.

[@PutraDiarkis]

🔥🔥🔥

[@emanueledavidebulotti568]

Pura leggenda 😎😎😎

[@cassianoescouto]

Obrigado Mestre!!!!

[@mannyfragoza9652]

love ya Yngwie i try to play like you but we all know how that goes lol

[@KeithMayer]

Its still so cool

[@mikewrightify]

If you thinking he is not the best guitar player of all time just watch him with Steve Vai Zach Wilde nino Bettencourt on the generation tour they couldn't keep up they don't even sound like a guitar player next to yngwie the guy is amazing no one will ever play like yngwie malmsteen

[@TheSweezer]

His secret? Learn music theory inside and out. Ya gotta know what youre playin. Learn the fretboard and apply the theory. Practice like 10 hours a day. Its that simple if ya wanna be a legend. You gotta play until its right.

[@lolkk124]
