As a guitar teacher, I love the fact that he is a VERY good teacher. By that I mean he can clearly explain what he is trying to teach without confusing the student or getting carried away with trying to impress. Excellent!
i just saw you in Houston at BFE. you were such a cool guy and totally lived up to being worthy of a traveling guitar guru. what a beautiful life you have created for yourself. i pray you trust in Jesus.
+Chol Pak I was plugged into a Vox ToneLabEX for this series of videos, with a direct out going to the video recorder. The video editors decided not to use the Vox's audio channel, they felt it was too distorted and sounded better without...
Never even bothered to listen to this guy before today!!!! Wow, I'm Impressed... Great guitarist with awesome technique. I dig how he's playing without an amp, but it's funny how he keeps checking his volume knob?? Way cool man!!!
They had it set up to record the amp directly instead of moving the amp. The editors decided it was to distorted so the removed the distortion. He was actually hear the amp when recording the video.
the devil cried No, he actually knows about what he's talking about. Yngwei's music is repetitive and cliche, there's nothing new to discover. Although I have to say I like what he was doing in the 80s
Matej Fele Agree. Bumblefoot picked apart Yngwie's theoretical approach and sees that there isn't much there under the surface. The most difficult aspect is the speed, which can be gained with patience and a metronome.
jspartacus - Sure, after almost 40 years of analyzing & critiquing anyone's style worthy of praise will "fail" under that kind of scrutiny. I'm sure EVH could be picked apart as well (actually Bumblefoot's video on him is mushc shorter - go figure). The fact of the matter is that Yngwie was ahead of his time in his day and that day was about speed. All I know is that the end result, the pure energetic cacophony of his electric prowess mixed with his passion & emotion for Classical music was moving to say the least. EVH's Erruption was all anyone talked about until Yngwie blazed the beginning solo to Steeler's 'Hot on your Heels'.
Bumblefoot used to play along with Yngwie during Yngwie's soundcheck on the Guitar Gods tour and i could swear there was at least one time where Yngwie stopped playing and you could hear Ron still playing Far beyond the Sun lol! Super nice guy and out of this world guitar player
It's not just what he plays but the way he plays it so much more , not only fast but so dynamic, 4X his picking is not only precise and perfectly linear but also percussive , even listening to you pull off all the notes so precisely sounds like a different guitarist playing Yngwie material, when Yngwie plays somehow you know its him playing, he accents notes (for example every 1st, 3rd or 4th note in the scale or lick) slightly harder even during those lightning fast scales and arpeggios and he picks really hard and articulated perfectly to his left hand... he truly is a freak & a genius, love him or hate him, there is only one Y.J. Malmsteen , + he has every right to love himself, he knows how good he is!
Hats off to my buddy Ron bumblefoot One of the most prolific Guitar players out there all the level of a Guthrie Goven For Pete's sake And yet he's so humbled It's a very humble brother No wonder he's one of the greatest
I like the angle where your hand is totally blurry. Great for instructional video. I think Paul Gilbert and Ray Flack limed the 30 degrees out of focus angle on their guitar neck.
Cool, I love Malmsteen and that was a nice snapshot of some of his motifs. I think Yngwies' style is so refined that he can't play any other way - and why should he! Bumblefoot himself is a tremendous musician and an impossible guitar player, he has a fair sized back catalog for you to check out, all different and all great.
intrsoul That's what I thought and I was happy about it because the same happens to me when I play an unplugged electric... But he was actually plugged into some modeler but they didn't use that audio because it sounded like crap, he explains it somewhere around here.
This guy is too much... he sounds fantastic on an unplugged electric guitar, striped down, with no amp or distortion.. playing Yngwie. Clean, masterful, guitar virtuosity!
Fire Marshall Bill Yngwie's last very beautiful album is "War to end all wars", 1999-2000. After that his albums are not really good. Anyway, dead? Maybe, like almost the 98% of musicians. People like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica et caetera...
He is amazing !! But no one ( till today at least ) does it better than Yngwie .. And of course Ritchie Blackmore who started it all .. Great LESSON from a extraordinary musician ! Thanks
Where have I been? I just discovered this guy today! Of course, what he teaches is far beyond my grasp, but, holy fuck is this guy the coolest, most talented player I've ever been exposed to!
+Mike Rathbun ya, I thought at least at the end of the video after he had showed that various different techniques that he was going to turn up some volume and let it rip.
How's he managed to balance that guitar on top of the one he's playing? Plus I don't think the top one is even finished it hasn't got the lines drawn across the long sticky out bit.. How did they not notice before doing the video 😕
No one has ever explained Yngwie this good and I been a fan since the start.
How can anyone not like bumblefoot? The guy openly shares all his knowledge matter-of-factly straightforward God bless bumblefoot
I've never heard of this dude before like 3 years ago. What a legend
As a guitar teacher, I love the fact that he is a VERY good teacher. By that I mean he can clearly explain what he is trying to teach without confusing the student or getting carried away with trying to impress. Excellent!
My god his playing is so clean. Great teacher as well.
One of the best guitariste, the elite and i like his funny side
I tried to play like yngwie, but my fingers baroque
iMatagora gave me a laugh 😂
iMatagora I cant Handel this joke 😹
Me too, but I keep going Bach for more.
hahah
😆😆😆😆😆
Wow! Ron is the first guy I’ve watched who can ACTUALLY explain Malmsteen’s technique to you. Nice 😎
It's actually refreshing hearing someone plays Yngwie's stuff acoustically. Bumblefoot is the man!!
Ampless or unamplified is not the same as
acoustic(=an actual acoustic instrument)
love how the cam goes to the wrong angle every time he plays
Yeah! WTF???
LfunkeyA 30 degrees and out of focus
actually his picking hand much more interesting to see. in this video he just demonstrates. there is no teaching involved.
@@pauls_guitartrip How you pick is definately a tad bit more important
i just gained a whole new respect for sir foot of the bumble !
What a cool guy Ron Thal is!
Ron is amazing. Yngwie is without question one if the most important guitarists ever in terms if influence on guitar he's top 5
I love how accurate he sounds without using an amp ! Impressive
exactly hahaha
best way to practice actually, unplugged in a small room!!!!
Five bucks says Ron Thal figured this whole thing out in fifteen minutes in his bedroom when he was 14. Music has no mysteries for this man.
+Nano B The 18 people who have like your comment so far either know you're joking or they know nothing about guitar
+Rusty Shackleford Heh, I don't know man. The dude has legit perfect pitch.
+Nano B - I think your comment takes away from the work Mr. Foot put in to become so good at the craft.
+Kenan B Just pointing out his ridiculous level of natural ability. No doubt he has worked hard.
+Nano B No he didnt
Wow this is by far the best analysis and breakdown of Yngwie's technique I've ever seen. Thanks so much Ron.
Funny is how he is always checking the pickup position (toggle switch) and the volume knob, even without an amp. You are a legend
He explained above that he was running through a vox amp, but the producers decided not to use the amplified track.
Scientific approach, that is how you do it when teaching anything! 3:56 and lets put all together. Thank Ron, you are the legend!
I love how he teaches us, he is so humble.
I love when he doing the projec music with the Indonesian musician....
Ron Thal is fucking impressive.
i just saw you in Houston at BFE. you were such a cool guy and totally lived up to being worthy of a traveling guitar guru. what a beautiful life you have created for yourself.
i pray you trust in Jesus.
he was switching pick ups when it is unplugged
+Chol Pak I was plugged into a Vox ToneLabEX for this series of videos, with a
direct out going to the video recorder. The video editors decided not to use the Vox's
audio channel, they felt it was too distorted and sounded better without...
Bumblefoot thanks for the reply. I saw you in the Phlippines playing Sweet Child with a local band named Razorback. Hoping to see you again
+Michael Craig How about using your ears? Maybe that'd help when it comes to music...
+Chol Pak yea he`s crap
+Michael Craig stop relying on tab and you'll improve your chances of being able to play it. You don't have to be rude to Bumblefoot.
Actually kind of proud to say i got to stand on a stage for a few minutes with this man. His playing is so damn amazing!
......simply brilliant guitar player....so so good
I am very impressed with Ron's knowledge, plus his playing is super clean.
Never even bothered to listen to this guy before today!!!! Wow, I'm Impressed... Great guitarist with awesome technique. I dig how he's playing without an amp, but it's funny how he keeps checking his volume knob?? Way cool man!!!
They had it set up to record the amp directly instead of moving the amp. The editors decided it was to distorted so the removed the distortion. He was actually hear the amp when recording the video.
He teaches Yngwie's music better than Yngwie does hahaha
Youre reading my mind!
ViAaRo Not funny.

People should be making videos about how to play like bumblefoot. Dude is a god
I’m not his fan but he deserves all respect due the respectful way he talks about Yngwie giving to him the credit he really deserves.
real recognize real
Bumblefoot used to play along with Yngwie during Yngwie's soundcheck on the Guitar Gods tour and i could swear there was at least one time where Yngwie stopped playing and you could hear Ron still playing Far beyond the Sun lol! Super nice guy and out of this world guitar player
That was cool...with no amps sound, still crystal clear tone I can hear it
Mindofjunk look. Yngwie made it he bum copyd. It that's. All I have to say
It's not just what he plays but the way he plays it so much more , not only fast but so dynamic, 4X his picking is not only precise and perfectly linear but also percussive , even listening to you pull off all the notes so precisely sounds like a different guitarist playing Yngwie material, when Yngwie plays somehow you know its him playing, he accents notes (for example every 1st, 3rd or 4th note in the scale or lick) slightly harder even during those lightning fast scales and arpeggios and he picks really hard and articulated perfectly to his left hand... he truly is a freak & a genius, love him or hate him, there is only one Y.J.

Very cool. Thanks for that, kind sir. Your technique is absolutely flawless.
Your talent is amazing Ron !!! Great teacher too.
Thanks so much for sharing. Love Bumblefoot. What a nice guy and killer guitarists.
wow. He's got major low action. That buzz is really present.
As long as it’s not coming through the amp it’s fine.
It seems normal to me. Stop being amazed by non-existent problems with famous guitarists' setups
Oh, sorry I commented. Please forgive me????
@@leviackk Oh, sorry I commented. Please forgive me???
Hats off to my buddy Ron bumblefoot
One of the most prolific
Guitar players out there all the level of a Guthrie
Goven
For Pete's sake
And yet he's so humbled
It's a very humble brother
No wonder he's one of the greatest
Holy crap!!! Amazing!
Absolutely love the Far beyond the Sun part in this lol, never thought of playing both parts like that, Im gonna sit down and try to learn that lol
Bumblefoot is soooo awesome of a player.
I love this so much. Bumblefoot is Yngwie, like in real life.
the thing that amazes me is that you can still hear each note of his playing with the guitar unplugged.. wow
Great !!
Yngwie Johann Malmsteen
True Inspiration
Thanx
to
Ron Bumblefoot Thal
He is basically playing far beyond the sun. The intro & outro. And some licks from I'll see the light tonight. Good stuff
Keeps saying, " he did" HE STILL DOES and is still just as awesome!
+Gacy x Hes talking about when he did "Far beyond the sun" song,
He’s referring to when Yngwie still composed
I like the angle where your hand is totally blurry. Great for instructional video. I think Paul Gilbert and Ray Flack limed the 30 degrees out of focus angle on their guitar neck.
Excellent teacher!
hell this guy is awesome
What a great guitarist!
Massive respect for this guy.
Woooowwwww this mate plays amazing!!
Cool, I love Malmsteen and that was a nice snapshot of some of his motifs. I think Yngwies' style is so refined that he can't play any other way - and why should he!
Bumblefoot himself is a tremendous musician and an impossible guitar player, he has a fair sized back catalog for you to check out, all different and all great.
This guy is pretty darn good!!!!!
ron, you are a master instructor... and a really cool guy..lol...imho.... thank you my unknown friend.
could you turn down a little?
Funny how he instinctively works the volume knob even though he's not plugged in o_O
intrsoul
That's what I thought and I was happy about it because the same happens to me when I play an unplugged electric...
But he was actually plugged into some modeler but they didn't use that audio because it sounded like crap, he explains it somewhere around here.
Turn DOWN for what?
Humor...hellooooo !
jeez this guy is 1 of the most impressive unplugged electric playing I’ve seen.
Great Teacher and Musican.
Very good teacher
Awesome breakdown of YM style. And, man, Ron Thal can nail it ! W/O an amp!
Really great breakdown, HOWEVER...You are talking about him like he is no longer with us. Respect for Yngwie
Beast mode!
honestly i cant really focussing on what hes sayin cuz i paying more attention to the clean sound, what a legend
Incredible. So clean!
Awesome lesson !!! Thanks !!!
Back in the 80s this would have been tantamount to a magician showing people how all the tricks are done.
The buzz on the low E string is killing me. Ron!!!
This guy is too much...
he sounds fantastic on an unplugged electric guitar, striped down, with no amp or distortion.. playing Yngwie. Clean, masterful, guitar virtuosity!
"Something like that."
Exactly like that.
Something tells me he played far beyond the sun way too much lol
Very good explanation.
He makes it sound like Yngwie is dead or something haha
Brett Fairchild He died and was replaced with an overweight old lady with leather pants
Brett Fairchild Lol
Rick Hankins Lool
Fire Marshall Bill Yngwie's last very beautiful album is "War to end all wars", 1999-2000. After that his albums are not really good. Anyway, dead? Maybe, like almost the 98% of musicians. People like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica et caetera...
Rick Hankins Are you sure you're not talking about Blackie Lawless? 😅😂
He is amazing !! But no one ( till today at least ) does it better than Yngwie .. And of course Ritchie Blackmore who started it all .. Great LESSON from a extraordinary musician ! Thanks
really really good. Great distillation
Ron thal is fantastic
If even a freaking awesome guitar player like Bumblefoot pays his respect for Malmsteen, so who the hell am I to disagree.
Where have I been? I just discovered this guy today! Of course, what he teaches is far beyond my grasp, but, holy fuck is this guy the coolest, most talented player I've ever been exposed to!
Ron is just a killer guitar player!
Well done👍👍👍
Good teaching
Bad-ass. Love this!
Great video!
awesome lesson!!! thanks!!!
Whoooosh! The sound of this lesson blowing right over my head. Brilliant guitarist.
Incredible
OMG... so effortless...
This guy can play everthing! The best eguitar player on earth.
**plays most amazing thing ever**
"something like that"
So clean and pure even acoustically. So Yngwie play same scales over and over but those are good sounding scales ;).
How important is using the pickupswitch , adjusting the volumepot when the guitar isn't plugged in to a working amp.? Great lesson btway.
no effects at all on electric guitar and you still hear all notes... this guy is an alien
Awesome.
Some kind soul help pointing out the chords he used on Far Beyond The Sun intro? Sounds way better than playing single notes
D on the anacrusis - C# - F#m - E#dim F#7 - Bm - E A - D G#m7b5 - E#dim - F#m E#dim - F#m.
Love your work
I love the fact that the guitars not plugged In oddly enough
Is the channel being called "Louder Noise" supposed to be ironic? Either way, amazing playing and impressive music vocabulary.
+Mike Rathbun OMFG I lol'd so fucking hard
+Mike Rathbun ya, I thought at least at the end of the video after he had showed that various different techniques that he was going to turn up some volume and let it rip.
Nice video thanks for the upload
Bumblefoot is the perfect example of what a guitar god is.
How's he managed to balance that guitar on top of the one he's playing? Plus I don't think the top one is even finished it hasn't got the lines drawn across the long sticky out bit.. How did they not notice before doing the video 😕
ACTUALLY UR KIND OF LIKE SUM KIND OF BAD ONLINE VD THAT U CANT GET RID OF HA HMMM
Richard Williams nice. I almost fell for your bait xD
Richard Williams They ran out of time to finish it when it was time to start filming. So far, he hasn't noticed there's something wrong with it.
Very funny!!!!
Oh man , that was funny !! Thx
I love it!!!
Jeez. Just busting out beyond the sun like its hot cross buns. Bravo Bumblefoot, bravo.
Very clear tone...
Outstanding!
I knew this cat was good but damn! Easy thumb up.
