Yngwie plays his bass guitars rare video

Yngwie introduces his bass guitars.

[@villekoskinen]

I love it when does his crazy vibrato on the bass 😁

[@johnfollis2357]

Which is harder to do on Bass than on Guitar because the strings are thicker. But with practice, you can achieve it. Something I practiced and eventually got it into my playing. And I rec amend using more than one finger to bend and vibrato. For a while, I was using my ring finger with the index and middle fingers supporting it. But recently I incorporated the pinkie with the other three fingers behind it for support. And what a difference it makes.

[@depouillementpersonnel]

Look at the reach of his pinky! Dude totally works that finger, you can tell. Personally, I feel like that pinky finger has a lot to do with why he's so fast. Thanks for sharing this vid. Thumbs up!

[@Cottontopexotics]

if you watch even some of the best guitar plays. the pinky lags behind and will even be ignored (watch Michael Keene of the faceless for ignoring the pinkie). yngwie was the guy that thought me that you work your pinkie finger double as often as any other finger. i even started learning to use my pinkie as a Anker finger just like we all use our pointer finger. learning to anker with the pinkie and becoming very accurate with fretting with my pinkie is what lifted me passed my friends group and still to this day. i watch people who are just as good as me. but they dont use their pinkie and could totally be 100 times better then me. if they just built a foundation in pinkie control.

light gauge. personally I don't like that percussive sound of the string that a lot of bass player love. I like a more clean james jamerson tone. And you need heavy strings and high action for that. Many pro player use light gauge string in their guitars they go as low as 7. crazy.

[@221b-l3t]

​​@@KZbinisaids69 Like Geezer Butler. First album was just bass strings on his guitar yet he is one of the most interesting bass players out there. Not the typical just playing rythm and bass notes to the chords, the bass is much more like another guitar harmonically complementing the guitar rather than just giving the sound some low end. A d in the mix you usually have guitar and bass on either side so both can be heard clearly, like in live performances (one of the best live bands. The sound is always amazing and they always give their best, had the privilege of seeing them 5 times. Maybe 7 depends if you count Heaven and Hell as Sabbath)

I have to say that I have never liked his sound or style of playing. It sounds too…”flittery” to me. Faster than fk but…empty. Impressive but…goes nowhere. Gimme Randy Rhodes, Zack Wilde or David Gilmore.

[@221b-l3t]

Yo seriously Zakk Wylde? Every solo sounds the same. Pinch harmonics pentatonic noodling. Like Yngwie, all the same. How you mention him in the same sentence as Gilmour and Rhoads is beyond me those guys are particularily unique and every solo is a masterpiece and sounds different. Don't get me wrong, I think Zakk plays fantastic riffs and I adore some of the early albums like Ozzmosis but his solos all sound exactly the same, he doesn't hold a candle to Rhoads or Lee in terms of melodic composition in solos and while his riffs are very cool it's still not anywhere close to Bark at the Moon or Diary of a Madman.

@@221b-l3t Jesus! It was just the beginning of a list. Lol Try playing Mississippi Queen on an acoustic…like Zakk did. You might be nodding your head going holy shit… (with a wound G, no less! Lol)

[@221b-l3t]

@@davidmacleod9313 I'm not sure what the problem is, I'm not upset. Sometimes tone doesn't come across in text, it was meant in the way of "really Hawaiian pizza" not "pistols at dawn". I'm just really surprised, Yngwie kind of always sounds the same and so does Zakk, at least in the stuff he's known for, I know he play other stuff too and he is technically very good, I just think his solos are all pentatonic pinch harmonic "Rock n Roll" type things that all sound alike. It's cool and flashy and makes me want to take swig of whisky and a line of amphetamine and fly a 737 at mach 0.94. But I think Gilmour and Rhoads are musical geniuses, who completely changed music, when they first appeared and are gifted composers comparable to the classics like Schubert or Liszt. 40 and 60 years ago respectively those guys wrote a handful of songs that are still as popular as ever, still talked about, studied by musicians and non musicians alike, remembered fondly like a childhood dog or an old but sturdy 30 foot sailboat. They changed people's lives. Pink Floyd along with a handful of others shaped an entire generation of people, not just musicians. Randy hit every guitar player alive then and born since wirh a bolt of lightening. Millions collectively thinking, damn I didn't know you could do that. Followed by, I've got to try this. And soon an entire childhood is coloured by the desire to learn everything he did and become someone like him, who changes the way an entire instrument is played, while actually sounding good and not some experimental LSD infused sounds that barely qualify as music. His playing evokes emotions, provokes thought and despite being technically very impressive and fast every note belongs and would be missed if it wasn't there. Nothing is fast to be flashy or impressive, it's fast because it is the best way to express what the composition is trying to achieve and a solo can be simple and slow if that's what the song calls for, playable by anyone (Goodbye to Romance) unlike say... Yngwie Malmsteen. I think Randy and Zakk couldn't be further apart from a composers point of view. It's almost astounding they're of the same species. If Zakks playing makes me want to take amphetamine and overspeed an airliner, Randy's playing make me want to quit my job and buy a sailboat and leave civilisation behind. It makes me want to re-evaluate my entire life, cry tears of joy and sadness, live life to the fullest or end it now. It's truly from another planet. Mozart, Beethoven, Rhoads. Same class. Zakk is a high speed bullet train blasting through space. Randy is an outlier in a mediocre violent species that justifies our existence. So I'm just surprised you would mention them together as evoking emotion in contrast to Malmsteen (which I agree with).
