Yngwie Malmsteen + New Japan Philharmonic/Far beyond the sun

[@richardkranium2944]

I wish I had used him as an inspiration in my teenage years. I might have a complete different style of playing.

[@rbrs300]

gotta love this guys precision every note he hits is spot on and along with his vibrato and dynamic changes he's just so talented in his own way it's scary good

[@TheGr8one1022]

Apparently, 176 people are big fans of the supposed "music" made by Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber and Jay-Z

[@richardkranium2944]

+noisyflowers they could like opera or even polka. No dichotomy, just assumption.

[@DimzDimzXTheMust]

people who dislike cz low quality video

[@Rhuarc]

His playing during this concert is "DAMN" good. He always plays well but this performance with the orchestra really shows how good he is. Accurate and pinpoint playing. Tone sounds incredible and he's having a great time. Audience is lovin' this. Appreciate the Upload

[@joedapker]

This was just plain amazing... with the amazing classical music of the orchestra combined with the intense guitar of malmstreen it just combined with excellent harmony he is in perfect alignment with the orchestra, in perfect pitch it is amazing malmstreen ranks up their with the greats dont flame me,HE NEEDS TO BE MORE popular, for someone so amazing he needs to be more known I suggest one of his songs be put in guitar hero... that way people all around the world will know of his greatness

[@pakanasielu]

People can dis this man all they want but the fact remains that he is one of the - if not THE most phenomenal guitarist living today. All of these power metal people learned from him, but not a one of them can hold a candle to him.

[@freddyperry1136]

i remember the first time i heard far beyond the sun..its my first time listening to malmsteen at that time, and since that, i understand his greatness...far beyond the sun is my favorite malmsteen work..

[@AntonioTENEBRION]

This is a real piece of music i really don't understand how can people say this is too excessive Far Beyond the Sun is a great song but with the philharmonic complementing the song took a new whole level of art This is real NEO CLASSICAL in all its unique beauty this is not about YJM this is about his music. many of you just see the arrogant YJM. people this is music not a charisma competition. and i think this is best video i have ever seen in my entire life.

[@fcalps]

Stunning performance of Malmsteen. Simply wonderful.

[@gregzy69]

no gimmicks or mutch in the way of efects,just pure genuis,yngwie is the whole package,how can you not admire such a talent,wish i could play like that.

[@VeldyVeld]

I have a high degree of respect for Yngwie's music, his solos have passion, and emotion in them, and in today's musical society, thats uncommon.

[@vitanvalik]

Splendid! This is the best piece of music I have ever heard. God bless you, Yngwie!

[@Underexperiment]

Shivers just ran up and down my spine by just listening to this masterful and perfect guitar-playing god!

[@鈴木直美-d5b]

初めてお聞き致しました。 従来のクラッシック音楽を壊す事なく、ダイナミックでありながら繊細な指遣いで弾き上げられるパガニーニは、極上のフルコースディナーを堪能したかの様な満足感を与えて下さいました。

[@luiohh]

I can't stop listening to the first 35 seconds!! the intro is totally rocking!!

[@brahmabull84]

Ingwie is the king!! so much energy the end is outstanding!!

[@sammy99dog]

Amazing! Concerto for shred guitar. The conductor was equally amazing to hold the orchestra together throughout the improvisational riffs.

[@StevenMcknightGuitar]

U made my week spannerboy! Whoever scored the orchestral parts really did a fantastic job. Michael Kamens Metallica scoring was nothing to do with the music except the key! Malmsteen's playing is the best Ive ever heard him on this clip.

[@bigneo131]

great music just wonderful i can feel the music coming out of his hands :)

[@Deldel1206]

da un anno tutte le mattine l' ascolto , e ancora ogni volta é come la prima volta! Magnifica.

[@gatito4good]

wow, just beautiful, you can feel his soul through the guitar nice.

[@stormtrooper62]

Not only did he play with the Orchestra but he arranged the whole thing too!! Yngwie kicks ass!

[@emericanchaos]

what makes this performance great is like around 6:35 where he does a little fill kind of thing. it's those little moments and fills where he gets caught up in the excitement and adds things in that make this stand out. i'm wishing i could make a song/solo based melodically just on those fills. : |

[@stjongil]

Omg! one of the most beautiful combination!

[@Grimmir]

1:42... I started crying of joy. That is JUST AMAZING. You can say that he's all the time doing the same, that there are better guitarist than him, but man, that was pure passion. Yngwie is just fantastic!

[@KamimuraShinya]

I'm speechless. It was just fabulous.

[@QuistJam]

@Fershbeary you've hit the nail on the head there

[@ThunderCod1]

every time i listen to anythin by him i get this massive grin on my face that wont move till he stops! works for me every time :D

[@ali7606040]

Yngwie Malmsteen is the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really dun have words to describe him but all i can say is that hes and amazing musician...

[@qman5678]

He's amazing. He fits in the Orchestra. Your right Abe, this isnt something that can be made into a guitar hero song or something. this is simply amazing.

[@6Luci6Fero6]

The power in ten fingers and one guitar.. thank you yngwie!!

[@rolandevil]

I have to admit...I cried listening this piece of art...it's damn good man..!!!

[@TheMysticCurl]

Absolutely stunning. I can't believe he wrote Far Beyond the Sun at such a young age!

[@beaglekid]

this is epic. I was looking through my old favourites and found this. raw talent. nuff said.

[@fortchipman1234]

very very beautiful malmsteem is truly one of the best guitar players.

[@Adamsladams]

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video!

[@gregzy69]

a new dimension in neo- classical metal, once again yngwie set's the standards others have to follow,know your music know your guitar then admire yngwie for what he does,a guitar genius and a superb composer.enjoy.

[@AleVestat]

Yopu may not like his style, but the music and the execution is definitely unbelivable. Thanks Giazotto and thanks Yngwie for letting us enjoy this.

[@kalhygget]

I love his "I-am-conducting-the-band" gestures at 3:54. Wonderful!

[@badbrown01]

Incredible. What an awesome concept. I don't know why people are pissed. The live sound must have been intense. Probably just as powerful as a metal concert.

[@silviopdm]

Beautiful!! Fenomenal!!

[@lazarus343]

Nice arrangement, that was much better than I was expecting it to be.

[@ctmingusfan]

I'm also a HUGE Dream Theater / John Petrucci fan, and I've been listening to Petrucci and Yngwie for well over a decade now. I would still have to go with Yngwie over Petrucci as an innovator and an exceptional talent. Even Petrucci cites albums like Rising Force and Trilogy as being huge influences on him.

[@Hazellarack]

I have no words to describe this but genius!

[@marcelito11]

Phenomenal, I am truly blown away, Malmsteen, is the greatest

[@FearTheCalm]

I believe your right. Mozart lived and died in obscurity. he was mocked and ridiculed, his music, hated. But we now render him as some sort of god. yngwie will be remembered, even it takes a few hundred years. His innovation and unforgettable riffs and compositions will finally find their place in time. Yngwie- greatest musician of all time.

[@mackiewizard]

You can see at 6:28 MInutes, the shadows that strings make on the fretboard shows its deep scalloped shape in between each fret. The Fender Custom Shop later produced these unique guitars as a Signature series. This features allows to have the pitch of any notes to be modified on the way up in a similar way as bending, only there it can be done by just giving more finger pressure on the strings. Also, this combined with an upward bending can give a mod even higher than a regular neck can give.

[@mixunho]

ES un CAPO!!!!..graciaz Arturoo..Exellente Cancion :3

[@LiterallyJesusChrist]

This is mega epic! I mean around the 6th minute I just about had my mind blown. A whole new level, amazing! Yngwie was going OFF! I mean hard! It was the coolest arrangement I've ever heard him involved in.

[@rkelley40]

THE ORCHESTRA PIT IS READING THEIR PARTS AND HE IS DOING IT ALL FROM MEMORY. THAT ALONE IS IMPRESSIVE

[@epic103]

@LaPriest WELL SAID!!! I have always liked his phrasing and vibrato, and his flair for the dramatic!!! Yngwie has inspired many guitarist, that speaks for itself!!! Check his vibrato out at 5:48-51, SICK!!! The whole ending solo from 5:45 to 6:29 is insane!!! CHEERS!!!

[@bassbreaker]

i had a jam session with this guy yesterday, it was sooo intense! man but like my bass skills were too good that he walked away with his head down, i lifted his spirits tho cuz i tought him a little bit after and he was real happy

[@amigajunkie]

@PedrosBeenJamin Yngwie is an amazing guitarist. So amazing in fact he has as you point out become cocky. When somebody is over confident they become arrogant. Arrogance then results in lazyiness, and that is the problem with Yngwie's later style of playing. Melodies are joined together with fills because it's easy. Yngwie most amazing album which is full of melody and feeling is his album entitled 'Angels of Love'. That album proves he is an amazing musician. He just needs to revisit his roots.

[@StanleyKu]

Such a smooth vibrato!

[@CoolDuckie]

There is more to Malmsteen that what you suggest. He created a unique sound due to a combination of elements. His philosophy of having a clean, single-coil output from the strat (clearer sound than the humbuckers used by most others), downtuning, using scalloped neck, wide vibrato, precise bends and very good combination of picking technique and glissando/pulloffs/hammer-ons as well as his classical inspired composition and improvising makes im instantly recognisable.

[@riskest]

I like him and his performance. i used to pracetice a guitar just to be like him when young. but sometimes i wanna say this 'hey yngwei, this orchestra is not a karaoke machine for you'.

[@superstrat]

A mi me paso lo mismo cuando vi el dvd completo con el volumen al maximo. Sin lugar a dudas, y a pesar de las criticas que siempre le hacen al maestro, Yngwie Malmsteen es un genio.

[@RLO7RYAN]

I love how they combined one of the best guitarists in the world with an Asian orchestra. So this peace of music is on ASIAN LEVEL 100000

[@maxthebean8047]

I was watching video and when I saw his expression I knew that your comment was exactly about this moment. ^^

[@josephholes]

How can anyone seriously dislike it? Oh thats right I forgot Jealously! Yngwie Malmsteen really outdid hiself on this brilliant is all I can say!

[@XOMartha44]

All I know is, I listened to it and felt so much better; it realy healed my soul.

[@mrmotovasestra]

Ovo obozavam da slusam! Odusevljava me njegova kombinacija roka i klasike. kome se ne dopada neka ne slusa!!! obozavam YNGWIE-a!!!!!!

[@nathaniel6393]

So beautifully composed.

[@johnyprestige]

he always bends perfectly in tune. perfectly.

[@Str8tcrkdlitwood]

Excellent performance!

[@TommySimsJr]

This is a great video. Good video editing.

[@Cuproll]

Awesome !!Classy!!Untouchable!!

[@blasbembi]

awesome performance!!!

[@leadguitarplayer]

saying that this mans guitarism sucks is like saying the world if flat, you have no idea whatsoever about music if you truly mean either of those statements. This is one of the greatest guitarists ever, id like you to post a vid where you do this song the same way as he does!

[@justaguitardude]

sounds great. thanks for sharing.

[@israelgarridogtr]

I used to have this dvd, i miss it now :(

[@AngelofKaos]

The song they play at first is not Far Beyond the Sun, is sort of an improvisation. Far Beyond the sun starts at 2:55 on this vid. Malmsteen's awesome..

[@MKVSDCTESTER2011]

These piece reaches in the soul!

[@ChristianLenfent]

Great, awesome, Master im proud of you!!!

[@donnickfer]

It´s amazing form every point of view!

[@Androly_San]

The definitition of Epic. You just witneseed it.

[@joe8lack]

Wow!!!Amazing guitarist !!He's damn good.....

[@TheRaysSixString]

The man is a GOD!! I can't wait to see him live in two days.

[@yaskunyjm]

自分、初演1日目を見に行ったけど、マジ感動して涙があふれて止まらなかった。ごまかしの無いすごい演奏だった！

[@SingaSon]

AWSOME!!!!!!! this guy is the best!!

[@arkavi90]

It is Icarus Dream Suite Op. 4, based in The Albinoni Adagio in G minor. This is a 1958 composition entirely composed by Remo Giazotto.

[@krakhaid]

I read in an interview with the measto himself that when he played this show, he had not rehearsed with the orchestra. HE PLAYED THIS WITH NO PRIOR INTERACTION WITH THEM. That to me in incredible.

[@DRSA5702]

the piece is called "far beyond the sun"..with an intro of improvisations. As it is mentioned above!!!!!!!!!

[@jakerandall123]

Brilliant work.

[@ladyluna15]

what a beautiful perfomance! i want that guitar x)

[@davymc91]

Opening theme was written by Tomaso Albinoni A very famous adagio. One of my fav players!

[@AttitudeCastle]

He wrote the entire thing too! it has many fills though as it's performed as a guitar concerto so is as much a display of skill as it is a piece of music!

[@HiramBustamante]

awsome ...as always!!!

[@ijalputrazin8218]

Wow phenomienal ..Masterclass ... He's legeng

[@Puaine]

no me canso de ver el video!! Yngwie es uno de los mejores sin duda!!

[@blacklistedin]

that was an amazing performance

[@veryangrystorks]

You have to admit, no matter what your feelings on Malmsteen happen to be: the part from 5:25 to 6:23 is awesome... especially when the tympani play in 2 and the rest of the orchestra in 3 (or at least triplets). A great amount of musical tension...

[@muday1369]

no, tthat song appeared in his first ablum (i think so), the name is Icarus dream suit op 4 when he performed in the 2003 g3 live in denver, he also played it, but the name was changed to simply Adagio.

[@xcuchillosx]

Buenisimo video, gracias moni por mostrarmelo ;)

[@fredddd6509]

Nice!!!! Actually I listened once to a recording of YM with the Prague philharmonic orchestra and have been a little bit disappointed, as I expected this to be great, but the sessions with the Japan philharmonic are good, it's a fact.

[@epic103]

@KellerDude4 LOL! But being repetitive and also being good are to different things! To deny the fact that Yngwie is awesome would be silly!!! Yngwie is far more than just playing scales! His arpeggio's, vibrato, and scale work is legendary!!! He is a true innovator! The bottom line is, Yngwie is a beast!!! By the way, where can we hear your playing??? Because i would love to hear what you can do!

[@MynZnusz]

Your comment and John's made me quite glad. I liked these comments, really good way of seeing things. Thank you.

[@krakhaid]

It's something Ynwie always precedes Far Beyond The Sun with. I don't think it has a name, but he always plays it.

[@oh_heeeyyy]

The piece of classical music yngwie plays before far beyond the sun is "adagio", allegedly by Tommaso Albinoni.

[@AttitudeCastle]

@willisingo He wrote the parts just so you know... And tonal this is very well written. Also have you ever heard of a Concerto? This is a concerto for electric guitar, and this is not a 100+ piece orchestra. He rehersed with them many times, this wasn't a walk on stange thing. I'm not trying to start an arguement but as an avid Classical music fan i thought i'd point out this does have it's merits. I think it's very very good! He doesn't need to "blend" it's a solo piece!
