Yngwie Malmsteen's Guitar Rig Tour

[@valentino3191]

People talk trash about him sometimes. But I went to a signing and he was there until EVERY fan with albums and memorabilia had gotten their things autographed and got to meet him. Yngwie is very gracious and respectful to his fans. I was impressed by how decent he was.

[@tulo3513]

Everything is ok with Yngwie, BUT, if you start to talk about guitar players with him, you unleashed his mouth, literally!!

[@rurens2]

The ones talking trash are the same guys insisting about that soul BS

[@sunanto6163]

Happy

[@jamesmoses4066]

Kdh was talking bad about him and he filed copyright strike on his video just to censor him lol

[@Jay-sy5yf]

I wanted to buy a Plexi but Yngwie got em all evidently.

[@daleweber2579]

I want a Gibson Byrdland but Ted Nugent has them all I (we all) can't.

[@ninokolen4300]

I want to buy guitar pedals and fortunately Joe Bonamassa sold all of his

[@dezionlion]

+Mal Reynolds why , they're nothing like plexis. great amps though.

Thank god he wasn't told about bitcoin or something. I still need a graphic card to play fucking games.

[@DeadRoman]

Even Yngwie thinks the wall of marshalls is hilarious.

[@AndyNyle]

Gotta love him. The knobs in the distortion pedal are dimed. Classic!

[@kxmrock]

Only 2 things visible from Space, The Great Wall Of China, & YJMs Wall Of Marshalls

[@mattiasjp]

Rick VH It’s just a myth that The Great Wall Of China is visible from space. Yngwie’s wall of Marshalls, though....

[@sashingopaul3111]

This is the loudest wall yet

[@quiltface83]

dont forget his ego

[@DaveSteele07]

Yngwie is always beyond awesome!!

[@vondragonnoggin]

YJM’s life on 10. More is more. Rush thought with More is more too. Guitar legend. Want to see him in an interview with his family someday though....”this is the Yngwie J Malmsteen signature child along with my signature wife. My signature wife and I worked very hard to get the signature child just right down to the individual hairs and everything.” Sweetwater - how old is he? YJM - “ he is on 10 like my amps and pedals”

[@ZackBrannon]

1:44 that is the string action of every shredders dream

[@thatoneguy-qc6gf]

Talk about fret buzz on an unscalloped fretboard!

[@hollywoodactress]

Zack Brannon he must have the lightest of pick attack, to get minimal buzz

[@SK43853]

AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KimonFrousios]

​@@thatoneguy-qc6gf Fret buzz is the string hitting the metal frets. Removing wood between the frets does nothing for fret buzz.

[@OrignalElidest]

@@hollywoodactress idk if you have since youve commented this but watch his right hand in his live show in the 80s its insane his picking hand moves so minimally and just fluid its like magic

[@tcrane8630]

Malmsteen has lost a lot of weight!! Good on him.

[@steveforwarduk]

years ago, around 2002, I saw him at the Astoria in London, and his babysitter for Antonio just disappeared.. my other half at the time was left to look after him.. she picked him up and was putting coins in the jackpot slot machines for him to play on.. Inga, Yngwies aunt, came and saw that we were looking after him, gave us 50 quid for a cab home, and I got to meet Yngwie. I have to say, he got to see me play one of his guitars, and was very complimentary, we chatted for a good 30 minutes or more, until the venue had to kick him out. say what you like about him, he is a very humble, down to earth guy, but he has an unshakeable resolve and determination and self belief. I've seen this before with high ranking management and successful people from all walks of life. he really does love playing guitar, but more importantly, he was a really great guy that night. I was a fan before, I got to tell him what his playing meant to me, and I came away feeling that I'd met one of my guitar heroes and all was good. It's a shame instrumental rock guitar, and shred guitar has that competitive bitchy-ness about it, I'm sure Yngwie gets affect by the negative press just as much as anyone else would..

[@mikemercer5808]

Say what you will about the guy...I LOVE HIS PLAYING!!!

[@shmuelfrancys9054]

Something that anybody can't denied is that yngwie is a showman

[@petefork5799]

Yngwie understands what building the wall really means! :)

[@troublesomecorsair]

Love the taurus pedals. See them with Tribute bands mosty but there's a few rockers on the East Coast that use em, too

[@Neroese1]

This intro with Yngwie playing on a unplugged guitar reminds me of Skwiskar :D

[@tiluriso]

I remember reading an interview decades ago of him saying how the original Rising Force Strat broke on a gig on time when he threw it up in the air at the end of the last tune, and the stage lights went out when it was in the air, so he couldn't catch it and it smashed up as it hit the stage floor.

[@williamchiusano3185]

WE LOVE YOU YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN

[@nycshelbygt500]

@01:43 Yngwie has his fretboard shaved down to the extreme. #WildViking Vintage #RolandBossSpaceEcho.

The amps are just for show you would not be able to hear anything inside a club..Even outside it would be unreal But It looks so KOOL

[@OgamiItto70]

"The Wall of Marshalls, big as the Wall of China, as you've already said." The difference is that you can _see_ the Great Wall of China from space, whereas you can _hear_ the Great Wall of Marshalls from space.

[@Steveisnothereanymore]

Are they high or low output? > No Probs to him doing the rundown himself, seems like a guy you really enjoy to hang out with, if you can look behind his stage persona. :)

[@Andybaby]

Q: Aside from being iconic stage props, is there ANY musical/audio point of having all those heads?

[@hastyberford]

Boss and Line 6. Got it.

[@romanticrock6909]

Yngwie the I.dol👍👍

[@sunanto6163]

Thank

[@philipcooper8297]

Yeah, but my amp goes to eleven, that's just one louder. I mean, when you're already at 10 and you want to go louder, there's no where higher to go, unless your knobs go to 11.

[@luisgoregonzalez7394]

Thanks

[@voxpathfinder15r]

I've read somewhere that a former roadie spilled the beans and that only two cabs are actually on with one head per cab, one on the far right and the other on the far left - everything else is for show. I guess it's super expensive to ship, because I think they're all real and can act as spares - but it's become part of his trademark, now he can't tour without 'em. If they were all on - his entire audience would be deaf.

[@dvaoa2910]

You know, he's easy to make fun of, but he is one of a kind, and that's a good thing. \

[@neto5722]

HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG man... look at Malmsteen's face right at the beginning. He just stands there posing not giving a f@&K about whats going on.

[@bingefeller]

I have the Yngwie signature OD and it's noisy as hell. I'm not surprised he has the noise gate there.

[@bluwng]

Do his pickups sound like single coils or they just Humbuckers stacked vs side by side?

[@MrTubularBalls]

I wonder if those teeth marks affect the sound much. Also, do those amp heads go to 11?

[@illuminati10yearsago80]

1:21 Yngwie uses line6!

Most of those Marshall heads have to be dummy heads for show only. If he plugged all 55 of them in, he'd have more wattage than he can handle, and he'd blow the roof off the place!

Yngwie has become a much more down to earth guy in recent years. Alcohol and hard drugs doesn’t emphasize people’s good sides.

[@bwgti]

Yeah. I don't remember a version of Yngwie that is personable or has a sense of humor. Great little rig tour! Wish he would have played a little. Curious what his current rig sounds like. Tons of videos of him playing on youtube. But they tend to be quite old.

[@bladet109]

He never did hard drugs, he was just an alcoholic. Well you can kinda say alcohol is a hard drug..

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

But alcohol is a downer, so it probably made him more bitter and less happy.

[@ami2evil]

He's clearly Blapped in this interview, didn't you notice?

[@MrNihilist74]

to be fair if he had played with all those 100w Marshalls, with everything on ten then that poor interviewer would have been killed from the sheer volume, Yngwie has built up a tolerance to it over the years like with snake bites.

There is no way in hell he is using all those Marshals at once actually running it would be louder than a jet engine and would literally blow people off the stage. 1 Marshall stack at full volume can literally knock you to the ground

Unfortunately no matter what you play through that gear it always comes out in A harmonic minor.

I saw him in concert 5 times. He had 6 full stacks sometimes, and one time he had 10 stacks, in a huge club in Sauget Illinois called Pop's that is open 24 hours a day. Blistering loud for sure.

[@anthonyderosa7730]

I know people dislike him. I love his honesty. I love how he calls the noiseless pickups humbuckers. They label them as single coils. Even the fender noiseless. They are not single coils. They are double stacked and can be coil tapped. He just broke the false advertisement lol. Yes they are voiced like a single coil for all you gear junkies that will dislike my comment.

[@iggyfritz7150]

If you look close enough you'll see that none of the amplifiers have anything feeding the inputs on the front un less they were going through the return in the back of the amplifiers which would bypass the preamp section and just be using the power section of the amp.

[@steveforwarduk]

how is he running his delays? instrument level into the front end of a crunchy marshall? that will sound horrific? an amazing player, but how is he using the delays? unless he is using the effects loop of his YJM heads? that's the one little bit of info he almost always leaves out. :D

[@GaryMcT]

Steve Forward he’s running a wet dry setup. He may not have more than one repeat so it is clean.

[@steveforwarduk]

delay running into a crunchy marshall can't be clean though? I know what you're saying, but even a single repeat will make the delays trip into each other causing horrific distortion.. or maybe he doesnt care about the delays doing this? I appreciate the reply thank you.

[@nicholastotoro7721]

How did Nick not know Yngwie’s pickups were humbucking? Certainly Nick had to cross paths or at least similar circles as with/as Yngwie in the '80's. The string gauges still seem like they'd feel unbalanced to me. .008-.014 tuned a half-step down would feel like overcooked angel hair pasta to me, although the wound strings would feel nice.
