Listen to him play blues. Yngwie def has great feel people telling you this don’t understand music. Just because Yngwie plays fast doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any soul in his playing because he def has soul in his playing.
This man doesnt even look at the fretboard while playing this!! He's on another level, imagine what is something hard enough for him to pay that he has to look at the fretboard to focus... This is the top man.
My dad has Yngwie Malmsteen CD when i was still 4 y.o and would play it every weekend, this song used to be my lullaby for afternoon nap LOL me and my brother grew up to be metalheads
He's calmed much more in the recent years. Nowhere near as he was before. He now looks like he really has fun and doesn't really want to win a competition. I've always enjoyed Yngwie's music but now, much more.
He is one of the BEST soloists in the world. There is very few who can play the baroque period guitar style. He is a reminder to practice everyday and work on your scales.
its not about playing something baroque. even tho bach for example is not easy to play on any guitar, its more about the interpretation. u can really just visit any school for musicians and find alot of people that can play older music :D yngwie is great tho
He's such a presence. I went in one of his workshops - was actually a workSHOW. And had the pleasure to meet him in the airport later (yeah, I went full crazy fan, cause you know, it's YNGWIE). When I saw him, he pointed at me and said "WORLD ON FIRE, MAN! WORLD ON FIRE" (he was promoting that album too), and oh man! It felt just like I've been chosen by a god HAHA the man really has a thundergod aura on him, simple as that. Long live Y.J. Malmsteen!
Someone who has never touched a guitar... I personally can't really enjoy this style,p I'm more a Gilmour guy... But even then, it's obvious that this dude is an absolute beast.
@@navdragoni agreed, I've never been a fan of 50 billion 64th notes just for the sake of it. Michael Angelo Batio, same thing. I never have cared for speed for the sake of speed.

While I agree that he's a fantastic player, nobody's perfect, which also applies here. I noted a few mistakes in his playing, but that just confirms his own humanity, else I'd be spooked. Cheers.
Actually, he made a couple of false notes here and there... Compare it with the studio version or the best version of this song, the 1989's "Live At Leningrad" version, which is probably his absolute best moment ever ;)

@@saulfernando557 never mastered the actual solo - since the whole song is like a solo I’m fine with just playing all the other parts. This song taught me about harmonic minor scales & how to use diminishes sweeps

It's astounding. At his fastest, he has so little movement in his right hand - the economy involved would be unbelievable if I didn't see it with my own eyes. He makes it look effortless, and then I pick up my guitar to try and replicate that, and lol...no. ;-)
Something magical happened when Yngwie sat down to record this session. His playing on these clips is more energetic and powerful than I've ever heard anywhere else, by a long shot. Even the tone is massive and to my ear different than anywhere else I've heard him play. (I wonder if it's different gear than usual) Just incredible. I return to this particular video for inspiration at least monthly.
That´s the same exact reason that i made a mp3 out of that particular version. It´s amazing. On 4:00 it starts. 4:04, this amazing bend, and the 4:06 superb riff with the screaming reinforced bend. Perfect 1000 times.
If anything, the guy is underrated. His technique and style was so revolutionary and influential, that his ability as a composer can get overlooked. The studio version of this track is a fucking incredible piece of music, and that's very evident in how it came out in the cover by that amazing Japanese band, with the cute and astonishingly talented violinist. Yngwie is one of the absolute all-time greats.
@jorgerodriguez145 By "they" you mean those of us who understand the music and Yngwie's impact. But unfortunately there are numerous music fans and stupid critics/journalistics who don't get and don't have enough depth to feel and grasp his music and playing. Back in the 80s there was this boring mantra that Yngwie couldn't write good songs; this at the time Trilogy came out, which had a ton of great songs! So you're right, he's not underrated by those whose opinions matter, but he is still underrated more in some wider circles.
I know, right? It's the best display of economy of movement that I've ever seen. Malmsteen may be an egotistical bastard sometimes, but he has more than earned that right.
@Orpheas Malliamanis No they arent the same thing. A book has letters our eyes dont have letters but they can see letters. Letters that are meant to be seen from our eyes to the book. The letters are the grain of the wind with the eyes we have in our heads. What you say?
I can understand many critisisms of Yngwie- he does overplay at times and maybe doesnt have a super deep bag of tricks but theres one thing that he's not and thats unemotional. Nobody likes playing guitar as much as Yngwie, he likes it so much that he wants to do as much of it as he can. He's unbelievably passionate.
All these people saying YJM has no soul. His soul is a ball of energy on the verge of explosion at all times. You don’t have to like the guy but you should respect that he is true to himself and has influenced more musicians than you can hope to. “How can less be more? More is more!” Yngwie I love Gilmore and Vaughn for their soul smooth and deep but love Yngwie for his soul of fire!
People can say what they like about his faults as a character, but this is pure guitar sorcery of the highest order! Fantastic stuff. It's not just the picking and sweeps, the tone and broad vibrato at every moment, he's playing like a demon!
how can people say his playing is emotionless? I disagree, he's not just a mindless shredder, his touch is super recognizable and unique, the articulation is never boring, he's not just blindly going up and down scales. His bendings and vibratos are iconic. Don't get me wrong, there are mindless shredders, but I think he's not one of them. His solos aren't mindless shredding, just rock n roll on steroids.
He so is. Just another 80's bach n' roller. They all sounded pretty much the same. He is fast and technically skilled nobody can doubt but there are few adults that want to listen to him for very long.
@@PlanktoniusRex considering that the average iq in the world is 105, your comment doesn't make these "few adults" look like inferiors, but the opposite to that...
Yngwie knows how to make a guitar sing! If only all people can comprehend fast music. Every note matters. That part from 4:00 to 4:24 is something big musicians don't manage to write in a whole career. Look up what guitar stars say about Yngwie.
No matter how many times I watch this, it blows my mind. His singing vibrato is to die for. He's using low output single coils (stacked to cancel out hum and noise.) with not much distortion. It's in his hands.
I get what people mean when they say "Malmsteen doesn't play with feel", but from what I hear and see. Malmsteen has feel, from the way he utilizes vibrato on the notes he plays, and the faces he makes when he bends. As well as the presence and movements he has on stage really connects with me. Note that this is also coming from me, a guy who has played and listen to almost everyhthing from blues,glam metal,classic rock,funk and more.
It's not that malmsteen doesn't have feel but the feel is very rare most of his solos are just note density for people who aren't interested in becoming shred gods,this being a rare exception with an insane amount of feel in a lot of parts. If you see him playing the "blues" you'll se what I mean, he plays the blues scale at 300 BPM.no point in that. But he is exceptional technically,no doubt.
His mastery of the fretboard shows in every “live video” he does. I’ve listened to this song for 30 years and all the embellishments still work back to the essence of the all the main phrases It’s literally like. “I’m so bored ... my masterpiece is too easy”. And the sheer amount of material he has and recalls ... a true virtuoso. And the only one of my guitar heroes I’ve never met. Vai, Satch, Gilbert, EVH. ... one day ... maybe.
Those other guitarists are amazing, Gilbert being my fave of the ones you mentioned. But there's something about yngwie thats a level above. He has the attitude of EVH and the ability of the other 3 combined
@@JobForAMaxboy yeah his mastery is just "next level" over 99.9% of every other electric shredder. And the tone he gets from his Fender !! - always claiming its just a stock American Strat and Plexi\Marshall amp !!
Honestly, the more I watch this video, the more I believe something magical really has been caught on tape here. Yngwie's soul really was connected to his instrument !
I've probably watched this video 25 times over the years and it never fails to impress. Absolute masterpiece! Fun drinking game idea... drink every time he changes pickups lol
Thank for making me laugh. I feel like shit. I seen Yngwie Malmsteen play in October of 2003 G3 show. It was funny seeing him kick picks in the crowd. And, that was Yngwie Elvis period.
It is one of those songs where you cannot take your eyes off of the guitar playing.. Sort of keeps you mesmerized like looking at a cobra snake in front of you.
@@genius7328 but im sure yngwie is one of a kind musician, even some people takes practice like he does they cant be malmsteen, there are some people born talented
So obvious that he enjoys every little note and wiggle of vibrato he plays, regardless of how many thousands of times he must have played this song. The people that say Yngwie has no soul or feeling in his playing are only in tune with the bluesy bends they've been told over and over are the only way to be soulful on the instrument. Why don't you realize you can get a lot more out of music appreciation if you're not pre-screening all of your opinions by asking yourself, "Is this what everyone else generally agrees is talented or moving or impressive?"
+TheFabio Imo fast playing can be super soulful and show skill, I mean seriously playing fast is rly difficult and sometimes is just naturally emotional. Completely agree with your point
+Joe Cockx but is all about what you play fast, playing scales fast in my opinion is pretty shit. someone like marty friedman though is pretty good playing fast, for example his stuff in megadeth
This man is next level, I’m truly speechless, his technicality is beyond Vai and his tapping is beyond Van Haley, the dude is channelling something truly divine
Never thought I would cry to a Yngwie Malmsteen solo. People who say no soul, should come back and hear it when you get unwarranted hate from the world. The feelings of hatred, anger, humiliation, and pain, this solo is a mix of all of it
Jack Pot It’s a ’simple’ economy picked F#m9 arpeggio from the fifth string in the interval order 1 9 3 5 1 9 3 with some vibrato on the end. Actually one of the easier parts of the song and quite enjoyable to play. A great pattern to know for improvising in other genres aswell. Many people struggle with rolling your ring finger for that 4th interval between the D and G string but there are ways around that. Good luck!
"Hey bro, imma write a song."

"Yes."

I've never seen anything like his right hand. Even Steve Vai said holy crap how does Yngwie have more economical speed picking than anyone else.
I think Kiko Loureiro is from the same school, he also has an economic picking
The picking mechanics are just jaw dropping.

Definitely should explore the space more, really go for it.
His first album had some truly awesome leads, even this track was less shreddy and much more melodically oriented.
Definitely the best version, the part at 04:01 is so good I’ve goosebumps and tears in my eyes each time I hear it
Despite his ego, we can't deny he is a legend.
He can afford that ego…
One needs a huge ego to pull this off. It's a part of his "more is more" attitude and that's what always set Yngwie apart! GOAT

Like his mentor Blackmore. Many revolutionary musicians had and have an ego. Drummers have Buddy Rich, one of the most talented a-holes ever

God of Guitar 😮🤟
Najajajajaja
LMAO
Hahahahaha... Me too.
How do you not like this! He is just incredible!
I struggle playing without rolling up my sleeves and the guy plays with Mr T jewelery on his wrist.
No, all humans aren't equal.
Love this song.
Freaking incredible! This man's talent is truly a gift from God.

Amen brah
He look like Zeus with guitar
its actually a result of hard work but sure discredit all of this mans acheivements in favor of your imaginary friend
@@ianDee I was about to say the same exact thing
It’s the year 2020 and Yngwie J Malmsteen remains and will forever be number one in my book.
As A Swede I totally agree
You forgot about Randy Rhoads
Actually said in his book.
@Orpheas Malliamanis No they arent the same thing. A book has letters our eyes dont have letters but they can see letters. Letters that are meant to be seen from our eyes to the book. The letters are the grain of the wind with the eyes we have in our heads. What you say?
This thread gave me corona.
I can understand many critisisms of Yngwie- he does overplay at times and maybe doesnt have a super deep bag of tricks but theres one thing that he's not and thats unemotional. Nobody likes playing guitar as much as Yngwie, he likes it so much that he wants to do as much of it as he can. He's unbelievably passionate.
For all the frantic and stupendous sounds, he makes the execution of it look bizarrely easy and effortless.
All these people saying YJM has no soul. His soul is a ball of energy on the verge of explosion at all times. You don’t have to like the guy but you should respect that he is true to himself and has influenced more musicians than you can hope to.
“How can less be more? More is more!” Yngwie
I love Gilmore and Vaughn for their soul smooth and deep but love Yngwie for his soul of fire!
@Ben van der Riet Do you have functioning ears ? How did you miss it?
@@C_mao te gusta Snoopy por tu foto de perfil
Couldn't help but smile when watching this. I admire artists who dedicate themselves to their craft to this degree. Absolute mastery.
Yes! I totally agree.
People can say what they like about his faults as a character, but this is pure guitar sorcery of the highest order! Fantastic stuff. It's not just the picking and sweeps, the tone and broad vibrato at every moment, he's playing like a demon!
What I appreciate about this video is that he wasn't focused on nailing it, he was just jamming with glee.
how can people say his playing is emotionless? I disagree, he's not just a mindless shredder, his touch is super recognizable and unique, the articulation is never boring, he's not just blindly going up and down scales. His bendings and vibratos are iconic. Don't get me wrong, there are mindless shredders, but I think he's not one of them. His solos aren't mindless shredding, just rock n roll on steroids.
He so is. Just another 80's bach n' roller. They all sounded pretty much the same. He is fast and technically skilled nobody can doubt but there are few adults that want to listen to him for very long.
@Troll Bot People who don't accept criticism of people they admire are soft and must resort to insults to get their point across.
The emotions are in the music.
@@PlanktoniusRex considering that the average iq in the world is 105, your comment doesn't make these "few adults" look like inferiors, but the opposite to that...
@PriestOfTheUnholy ikr, they should hear his entire first album, not a bad song on it, also 'Forever is a Long Time', and many more
Yngwie knows how to make a guitar sing!
If only all people can comprehend fast music. Every note matters. That part from 4:00 to 4:24 is something big musicians don't manage to write in a whole career. Look up what guitar stars say about Yngwie.
A lot of peoples forgot about Yngwie.
He always was so underrated. Legend for me.
I love when Malmsteen likes his self a lot, all sounds better in his music. Maestro!
All that sweeping cleaned my downstairs floor 🤘
That was hilarious LOL
Underrated comment
hahahaha
With all that sweeping he doesn't need a maid either.
@@davidfisk6759 lol!
No matter how many times I watch this, it blows my mind. His singing vibrato is to die for. He's using low output single coils (stacked to cancel out hum and noise.) with not much distortion. It's in his hands.
yeah me too. it gives liberation the supporting effects making it heard much clearly from the roots.( the sensation of his fingers).
He actually uses a ton of gain.. his overdrive pedal is with level and gain in 10. but still, it's obviously in his hands.
*MOST UNDERRATED GUITAR HERO AND SOLO OF METAL HISTORY.*
I don't think he's underrated at all lol
One of the greatest power metal pieces
probably the greatest ever along Carry On and Black Diamond
But its not power metal???
@@filipedoria9561never in life bro??? What kind of music ya'll listen to jesus
I get what people mean when they say "Malmsteen doesn't play with feel", but from what I hear and see. Malmsteen has feel, from the way he utilizes vibrato on the notes he plays, and the faces he makes when he bends. As well as the presence and movements he has on stage really connects with me. Note that this is also coming from me, a guy who has played and listen to almost everyhthing from blues,glam metal,classic rock,funk and more.
BisckenGamingC&B A number of years ago, I’d have loved to FEEL him.
It's not that malmsteen doesn't have feel but the feel is very rare most of his solos are just note density for people who aren't interested in becoming shred gods,this being a rare exception with an insane amount of feel in a lot of parts. If you see him playing the "blues" you'll se what I mean, he plays the blues scale at 300 BPM.no point in that. But he is exceptional technically,no doubt.
His mastery of the fretboard shows in every “live video” he does. I’ve listened to this song for 30 years and all the embellishments still work back to the essence of the all the main phrases It’s literally like. “I’m so bored ... my masterpiece is too easy”. And the sheer amount of material he has and recalls ... a true virtuoso. And the only one of my guitar heroes I’ve never met. Vai, Satch, Gilbert, EVH. ... one day ... maybe.
Mind sharing your thoughts upon meeting him?
@@alexandero9936 meeting who. ? He’s the only one of my guitar hero’s I haven’t met ! Sadly.
@@LemonmilkMusic shoot I misread and thought he was the only one you’ve met,
. My bad, sorry
Those other guitarists are amazing, Gilbert being my fave of the ones you mentioned. But there's something about yngwie thats a level above. He has the attitude of EVH and the ability of the other 3 combined
@@JobForAMaxboy yeah his mastery is just "next level" over 99.9% of every other electric shredder. And the tone he gets from his Fender !! - always claiming its just a stock American Strat and Plexi\Marshall amp !!
Honestly, the more I watch this video, the more I believe something magical really has been caught on tape here. Yngwie's soul really was connected to his instrument !
I've probably watched this video 25 times over the years and it never fails to impress. Absolute masterpiece!
Fun drinking game idea... drink every time he changes pickups lol
From 4:01 and on I get goosebumps it just sounds so good
Yeah 😆😆
It does, can only describe it as beautiful.
and those pedal bends!
indeed....infakindeed!
melodic neoclassical shredding
his teeth knows how to play guitar beter than me
😭😭😭😭😭
First time listening to him and WOW.
YGM! THE LEGEND! FEW HAS CHANGED THE GUITAR WORLD AS HE DID!
3:37 Yngwie forgot the pickups switcher was already on the top 😂
No, he actually triggered a special mode built into all Fender guitars that can only be unlocked by Yngwie Malmsteen.
@@malicant123 🤣
The only mistake he makes!
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank for making me laugh. I feel like shit. I seen Yngwie Malmsteen play in October of 2003 G3 show. It was funny seeing him kick picks in the crowd. And, that was Yngwie Elvis period.
Damn yngwie just shredded a whole new shredding generation .hail to the king yngwie mslmsteen
O que mais me impressiona é que sua mão direita quase nem se mexe. Esses vibratos e bends beirão a perfeição!
It is one of those songs where you cannot take your eyes off of the guitar playing.. Sort of keeps you mesmerized like looking at a cobra snake in front of you.
That guitar was white when he started practicing
Underrated
Finally, someone who understands that gods had to practice and that they weren't just handed the ability to perform.
@@genius7328 but im sure yngwie is one of a kind musician, even some people takes practice like he does they cant be malmsteen, there are some people born talented
@@debuhokontra2006 bullshit talent is nothing without hardwork
Europe was white until it started practicing Liberalism.
Whether one likes Yngwie's speed approach or not, he or she has to admit that the man really has some incredible vibrato.
He definately has incredible vibrato..that type of skill cant be done on a standard guitar neck unless it's scalloped like his is.
He also can make the guitar scream!
Yep...yngwie is first class player all the way
Timliu92 your damn right!
not going to lie he's kind of a douche bag of a human being, but GOD DAMN he's amazing at this style of music
The bends at 4:04 and 4:15 are so great! Okay he plays fast and (too?) technical but damn those bends!
So nasty! 🔥🔥🔥
Those bends give me goose bumps every time 😅
This guy really just shredded at the speed of light for almost 6 mins straight...he really took me far beyond the sun
he is faster than the speed of light
So obvious that he enjoys every little note and wiggle of vibrato he plays, regardless of how many thousands of times he must have played this song. The people that say Yngwie has no soul or feeling in his playing are only in tune with the bluesy bends they've been told over and over are the only way to be soulful on the instrument. Why don't you realize you can get a lot more out of music appreciation if you're not pre-screening all of your opinions by asking yourself, "Is this what everyone else generally agrees is talented or moving or impressive?"
+Seriously People Most of those people who say fast playing has no feeling actually are the ones who can't play fast.
+TheFabio Imo fast playing can be super soulful and show skill, I mean seriously playing fast is rly difficult and sometimes is just naturally emotional. Completely agree with your point
+Joe Cockx but is all about what you play fast, playing scales fast in my opinion is pretty shit. someone like marty friedman though is pretty good playing fast, for example his stuff in megadeth
guitaroidman524 But if you use exotic scales then playing fast to me sounds brilliant!
well saying that yeah they do because marty uses them all the time
This man is next level, I’m truly speechless, his technicality is beyond Vai and his tapping is beyond Van Haley, the dude is channelling something truly divine
i think you forgot jason becker that wrote song at 16 and was already at his lvl when he was 16
@@switchmusic3099 bro you cant compare a guitar god with malmsteen
Yes van Henley sucks
Who is a guitar god becker ? 😂😂😂😂😂 I used to fight over this 20 years ago with my friend. Malmsteen still rocls becker is on wheelchair.
@@ct1216 is thah so
I am always reminded why i take such long breaks from his songs even though they amaze me... they just leave me exhausted. In a good way.
Goddang, those pickup switches are smooth !!!
There is no one like the Maestro
That is questionable....
More is more. Yngwie plays more notes in one song than most guitar players in whole life :D
John Petrucci: Hold my beer!
@@EvilDragon666 Yngwie Malmsteen: Hold my Petrucci.
Petrucci is nothing compared to malmsteen. Compare petrucci to satriani or vai
@@ct1216 malmssteen only compare with michael romeo
I love the solo of this song!!!!
Never thought I would cry to a Yngwie Malmsteen solo. People who say no soul, should come back and hear it when you get unwarranted hate from the world. The feelings of hatred, anger, humiliation, and pain, this solo is a mix of all of it
2:20 u can't tell me this isn't one of the nuttiest little lick/riffs ever
Jack Pot It’s a ’simple’ economy picked F#m9 arpeggio from the fifth string in the interval order 1 9 3 5 1 9 3 with some vibrato on the end. Actually one of the easier parts of the song and quite enjoyable to play. A great pattern to know for improvising in other genres aswell. Many people struggle with rolling your ring finger for that 4th interval between the D and G string but there are ways around that. Good luck!
The first time I saw this, I missed where he switched pickups and thought, "why did his tone change?"
@Qué Mira Sapo It could've been in Rime of the ancient mariner
No...he is not even a human ..he is a piece of art himself ...
The world should bow down before HIM ...he is more than a GOD

What amazes me the most is how many times he changes the pickup selector switch mid-shred!
