One of his best performances in the last decade, IMHO! Clean, articulate phrasing, proper improvising and great tone... Wish we'd see sth like that more often!
Bruce Lee of the electric guitar, pure & simple. No matter what anyone thinks of his personal life, or his personality, fashion, or stage/show antics, his ability, tone and presence that come off of the frets, to the ear, it is hard to find anyone to match him, in classical, rock & hard blues. I have found, many great guitarist, that are real close, but with good ears, and being unbiased , in the electric category, and to be found in any media, he still has the title, IMHO. The clarity and the "not too overdriven & distorted" sound he manifest, he's got it. Keep going YJM
I'll second what you said. Not only his playing. Yngwie likes the music he makes. He isn't a fickle fad following flake. People say that they think that his playing hasn't changed in years and that it hasn't "evolved". Changing just to follow trends isn't "evolving"; it's called "no identity" and selling out. The man has the most musical integrity in existence.
Mike Parsons I completely agree. And it’s such a treat when he focuses on accurate playing more than on high kicks. When he’s on tour, showmanship is first and playing accuracy is second. Here he is playing as if he’s recording in the studio. Same with his performance in front of the orchestra in Japan. When Yngwie gets down to business, he has no rivals.
idc about his personal life / fashion / etc. imho he is NOT bruce lee of the guitar, because bruce lee mastered different styles of martial arts, and created his very own school. malmsteen is mostly the gold standard for neo-classical guitar playing, but that's mostly it. his music kinda gets repetitive. if he's a car, he is a ferrari stuck on max speed. a song or two is enough for me. i generally don't binge listen to malmsteen. very impressive guitar hero that i really wanted to be obsessed with but i just can't really love his discography.
Yngwie Malmsteen is definitely from another universe entirely!!! People always focus on his speed but always fail too notice his melodic fluidity!!! Yngwie Malmsteen turns a Stratocaster & Marshall into a symphony!!!!
Are you one of those disgusting internet thrash that always trying to flirt with woman on the internet because you are a weak sad person? You look at children do you?
I'm more of a rhythm guitar player I'm not into soloing that much. But this guy really opens up some new doors for me. Love how he has some classical in his soloing. Absolutely beautiful.
I don't care what all the others say. You have Malmsteen, and then you have everyone else. And I am not talking pure speed, which he is still the master, but rather the feelings he's able to invoke. That harmonic minor scale is pure Yngwie. Like it was created just for him, or, if you prefer, he made it relevant. And how he can be at the 20th fret and a split second later be at the 1st, and back up again. Brilliant guitar work.
kickin butt here. You just never know where he's going next but somehow he plays so smoothly and it sounds ripping but his hands are doing such a minimal amount of moving. He has an amazing feel for the picking.
When he is on, he kicks ass!! He's still kicks ass & to all the people that rag on him... you all know you would love to be able to go to a music store or stand in front of a bunch of Kick-Ass guitar players and be able to play like he just did... I'm just sayin' glad I watched the video👍👍👍👍
Wow, freaking-a, he sounds just a bad ass today as at any time in the past. I've always loved his style and musical arrangements. He really shook up the rock scene back in the day and took a bunch of bar chord toting big hair bands and showed them how to get your metal on in a classy/classical way. Class act for sure.
Its been a long time since i saw someone play his own old songs with so much passion and enjoyment. I have always loved watching Yngwie,he seems so happy on stage!
I don't know whether he is the best guitar player in the world, because neo-classical is one particular style among many others, but I don't think i've ever seen someone as comfortable with a guitar... not even Vai. He has a total command of the instrument and what he is doing. 7:54 sums it all up.
He is amazing and a amazing musician. Everyone that says he whacks off playing guitar says so because they only dream to play like yngwie and are still at home Pounding out barre chords and the minor pentatonic scale. He is light years away and amazing as a musician.
How can the haters say he doesn't play with feel. This was epic. And I cannot think of any player past or present that can make that bend during the solo of far beyond the sun scream like yngwie does. Like the scene from crossroads when vai pretends not to be able to play and misses the high note in that paginni solo that Ralph plays
I remember the 1st time i heard yngwie 83 or 84 steeler A friend of mine came to my house to show me, i cannot describe what i felt, I just couldnt believe what i was hearing, then later on next year when he started playing with alcatrazz i became a huge yngwie fan since then till this day Me and my buddies we were into jake e lee, evh, michael shenker, gary moore all those guys And i still love all of them but yngwie for me is the boss🤘😎
I don't care how hold this Yngwie gets he just gets better like old wine I grew up on this guy in the 80s every album that came out I had it before the box in the store opened up..I saw it in guitar world so you know I had it first...
Anyone who thinks Malmsteen doesn't have feel either have never seen this or just aren't listening or are too busy being marveled at his speed. I'll listen to this any day over most of Vai or Satch.
Yngwie Malmsteen is father of shred guitar. Today we hear tons of fast players in metal but only one is original and thats Yngwie. His style is copyed by many guitar players. Everyone who think that shred is easy to play is wrong. Its very hard to play like Yngwie. He uses many guitar techniques like sweep, legato, hammer-ons, pull offs, vibrato.... I still think that after all this years his music is amazing. He is like Paganini in classical music. Someone said that every song is the same? Playing same minor pentatonic scale in blues is not the same? Its hard to play something new. At the end of 70´s when all players played only pentatonic scales in rock music, guitarist like Van Halen, Vai, Malmsteen started a revolution in hard rock guitar playing.
***** He wasn't the first, but he's certainly among the early pioneers. He's definitely first guitarist to play classical at a high level in modern rock guitar playing. There was no one playing like this 35 years ago. No one was playing diminished arpeggios, pedal notes, and ripping scales all over the place before Yngwie hit the scene. He's what you call a game changer, just like Hendrix and EVH before him.
I got to see him in Austin and later in San Antonio and Houston in 1982-84. As a guitar player I was obsessed with EVH, Randy Rhoads, Yngvie and Eric Johnson and SRV. Fortunate to see all of them in same era. Van Halen first time in 1978 in Dallas at Texxas Jamm.
His hands look like they could tear a NYC phonebook in half. SRV's hands were superhuman, too. I have difficulty opening a ketchup bottle, but I'm pretty good at being late for work, finding bad relationships, and generating reasons not to exercise, vote, or act maturely. Every dog has his day, right?
I had a great guitar teacher, amazing player,, I was like 13, he asked me if I thought he could tear a piece of wood from a closet by his bare hands. He meant to show its happening in the brain rather than the muscles. I think for SRV there is muscle at work too. Malmsteen probably plays very lightly, faster playing needs lighter touch, it is less muscle not more. IMHO
You may be right, of course. But just by looking at SRV's and Dickie Bett's (formerly of the Allman Bros.) hands, I see monster-like strength. Hendrix, Malmsteen, Satriani, and Vai have over-sized hands, too. Mine are thin, small, and weak -- not meant for heavy use. Maybe typing.
All of us guitarist who learned this guys shit from the beginning and were in awe (alcatraz/ rising force etc) recognized beyond the tech ability, there was just something special here, it was the raw aggression and pure fire and the attack, unmatched really at the time, total guitar god, one of a kind!
I used to amaze the fellow players when we were kids in San Antonio , no one knew who this guy was and at 14 yrs old i had learned most of the Alcatraz record, there faces would just drop and they wanted to quit playing lol, about couple years later they found out who i stole it from! My idol YJM!!!Fun times!!!!
sometimes i dont know what is more amazing, when yngwie plays down those millions notes in short time, or when he simple hammers a freakin power chord, he has a really nice way to touch a riff too.
Correction Yngwie should have stuck with the same setup he had in 1984 with Alcatrazz his tone was way better 1973 Strat with Dimarzio HS2 and HS3 pickups into a Modified 1959 Marshall Plexi Amp that is the tone
Marshall Vintage Modern. About 900 bucks on Ebay. Get you a YJM strat and the Fender YJM over drive, stick a little touch of delay from a Boss DD-3 in the loop and turn it up and play as though you sold your soul to the devil and. ....Voila!
Christophe Ayres This is the"correct"Alcatrazz gear.68-71 strats,Dimarzio HS-3 pickups(he never used HS-2)Marshall Mk2 71-72 50 watt heads and no mods.
What? Yngwie malmsteen was one of the guys who helped to get guitar playing to the new level, His playing style STILL TODAY inspires new guitarists and influeces others. Yngwie has deserved his guitar god title.
Many years ago when I was on the tour bus with Yngwie I said to him the only thing you have not nailed down a 💯 precent is your tone. He looked at me and said yes I am going to create my own pickups and then I will have my tone!!!…We both then cracked a beer 🍺 and drank to that!!!
I SEEN HIM IN N.Y WITH THEM RUNNING AROUND THE STAGE N I WAZ LIKE WHO TF IZ THAT. THEN I SEEN HIM ON UHF CHANNEL 13 PLAYING I C THE LIGHT 2NITE AND I WAZ LIKE 😯😬😬😬😬
Yngwie, is tearing it up here. Occasionally he is not at his best but here he is playing like you expect him to. People can make negative comments and be haters but the fact is Yngwie is one of the few that changed the course of guitar during our lifetime. Anyone in the shred guitar category has taken something from him. Shawn Lane may be an exception since he was already light years beyond everyone in the late 70's.
He certainly deserves his place in the history of modern guitar and I was hugely influenced by him in my young days. However I have to admit over the years I have grown a bit tired of his style, just because it hasn't really evolved or changed a lot. Essentially its the same phrases transposed all over the fret board with a good dose of dim7 arpeggios thrown in. Don't get me wrong though, there is only ONE Yngwie Malmsteen and he sure did spawn a global army of imitators! :)
epic103 Yea I get that, when you have a well known brand you don't change the recipe that brought success... Personally, I love the early stuff right up to Odyssey but I lost interest after that.
MaTtRoSiTy Me too... but I also like Eclipse, Seventh Sign, Attack, and the Concerto. He's had some really good albums after his early stuff. He continues to be an inspiration to me, I love the way he plays. His vibrato and attack is very cool. His early stuff is classic but he still plays and composes at a high level. I'll always support the Maestro at anything he does.
I agree with you, totally, but can someone tell me from your point of view which band, soloist guitar player have evolved and did some things new in order not to get bored? mmmm, dont think so, its just style and old fashion , like my grandmother said: "you are getting older litle son" PD: I have the entire collection as you said, this Yngwie has been a great influence to me :)
***** Once you get to that stage, you may find Jazz starts to appeal more. But as far as metal (and other) style guitarists go, personally I found Marty Friedman has some pretty awesome playing. Very interesting scales, choices of notes and phrasing that is quite unique. You sure know Marty when you hear him! Of course that is just my own preference and other people will have good suggestions too. These days I don't play like that at all really. I spend most of my time in alternate open tunings and virtually never shred.
This is by far the most arrogant, egocentric, self-centered display of shred masturbation I have ever seen. I love every fucking second of it!! Killed it at Mojoes two weeks ago...tiny stage, 33 full Marshalls, YJM Strat, and tore through about 200 picks. Awesome!
Sick right? I saw him at the observatory and it was epic. a guy was passing around a joint and I took a hit. seeing malmsteen shred is fucking insane in person I caught a pick too lol
@ShredIsNotDead1986 Well said!! There are a lot of fast guitar players out there, but very few of them have the vibrato, accuracy, phrasing, and compositional skills of Malmsteen!!! By any standard or measure Yngwie is one of the greatest guitar players that's ever lived!!! Whether you like his music or not Yngwie is one of the best!!! There's only one Maestro!!! CHEERS!!!
haters gona hate, but yngwie is one of the greatest ever, he revolutionized rock electric guitar playing...and above all, he is great composer, he knows how to write a song, not many shredders knows to do that
Check out the Yngwie Malmsteen YJM100 amp in our latest Signature Amp video 🤘
At this time, the amp he used at the 2009 namm show would be the vintage modern 2466. Isn't it YJM100?
What Amp he using on stage? The one with blue light??
One of his best performances in the last decade, IMHO!
Clean, articulate phrasing, proper improvising and great tone...
Wish we'd see sth like that more often!
exactly my thought!
insane. I'm an old school blues guy, but you can't deny his sheer talent. a virtuoso in every sense
his vibrato is pretty stellar, id figure that would be something blues fans would notice
@@knightfall9394 Scooped fretboard helps

Still blows me away how accurate this guy is!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding classically rooted guitar god.......
he sounded so good here
1986 (when I first heard him) to 2016, Yngwie still has it. :)
I know how you feel baby.........
Are you one of those disgusting internet thrash that always trying to flirt with woman on the internet because you are a weak sad person? You look at children do you?
Oh sorry but its 2009 that he played...
Yngwie Malmsteen: Kicking ass since 1983!
What an amazing artist, one of the best players and songwritters on the guitar planet!!!
all I can say about his guitar play is clean, smooth, and fast!
I think Yngwie was really feeling his love for Marshall Amplification here because his playing is amazing.
his playing is always amazing. there´s a video on youtube of Yngwie playing in a street of London with a small combo and that´s amazing too
Still my favorite guitarist, without a doubt!
His tone is so fluid, clear and magical.
I'm more of a rhythm guitar player I'm not into soloing that much. But this guy really opens up some new doors for me. Love how he has some classical in his soloing. Absolutely beautiful.
This guys composing and virtuosity inspires me and blows me away every time I see this stuff.
I can say he is my favourite guitar player
I love how he talks to the guy on the right while playing, giving zero fucks and not missing a single note.
watching at 1.5x
the best sound from Malmsteen with this Marshall.
The sound is prestine and extremely clear well done. I really enjoyed it. Classical piano teacher
I don't care what all the others say. You have Malmsteen, and then you have everyone else. And I am not talking pure speed, which he is still the master, but rather the feelings he's able to invoke.

Pounding out barre chords and the minor pentatonic scale. He is light years away and amazing as a musician.
Well said... Cheers
He's certainly the equal in musicality as the late Alan Holdsworth!!!!
The King of Classic-Rock-E-Guitar

If you go a while without listening to this cat it's easy to forget how fast he actually is.
He's fucking awesome.
He was but today he is very sloppy , if you've seen his recent live shows he is making mistakes all the time guess its age
I remember the 1st time i heard yngwie
83 or 84 steeler
A friend of mine came to my house to show me, i cannot describe what i felt,
I just couldnt believe what i was hearing, then later on next year when he started playing with alcatrazz i became a huge yngwie fan since then till this day
Me and my buddies we were into jake e lee, evh, michael shenker, gary moore all those guys
And i still love all of them but yngwie for me is the boss🤘😎
Yngwie is a god of shredd
Composition wise.. yes
Loved him the whole time, don't care what you think. the only one that has ever made me shed a tear.
yngwie still amazing!
This is the best Malmsteen I have heard in years! Amazing!!!
Am i the only one who thinks he sounds better playing through this amp?
+michael mclaughlin I thought that too. He sounds even more incredible than usual.
He sounded even better at G3 with satriani and vai, that guitar effect was so powerful.
Thats why he don't need that fucking cabinet wall just to look cool.
coz he use only 1 head amp
Sounds great, vintage modern??
I don't care how hold this Yngwie gets he just gets better like old wine I grew up on this guy in the 80s every album that came out I had it before the box in the store opened up..I saw it in guitar world so you know I had it first...
I can play a G chord.
Lol
Nice
Amazing
I can play an A chord...we should form a band. We will need someone to tune these things too...haha
Sufficiently good for today s standard
That’s a start

His hands look like they could tear a NYC phonebook in half. SRV's hands were superhuman, too. I have difficulty opening a ketchup bottle, but I'm pretty good at being late for work, finding bad relationships, and generating reasons not to exercise, vote, or act maturely.

I guess they were good at generating reasons to practice untold hours every day
SRV....most overrated guitar player off all time
I had a great guitar teacher, amazing player,, I was like 13, he asked me if I thought he could tear a piece of wood from a closet by his bare hands.

James Muncy You don't have muscles in your fingers, so just pick up some wheights.
All of us guitarist who learned this guys shit from the beginning and were in awe (alcatraz/ rising force etc) recognized beyond the tech ability, there was just something special here, it was the raw aggression and pure fire and the attack, unmatched really at the time, total guitar god, one of a kind!
I counted, 742,667,328 notes for all 8 minutes of this video. Great stuff! :)
Yngwie is a treasure...so dang good it is a crime...wish I could even begin to understand how you can even begin to play as he does!!!
From 5:38 to 5:45 is supernatural. Actually... the whole solo is insane.
Malmseen is à Nice artiist
I used to amaze the fellow players when we were kids in San Antonio , no one knew who this guy was and at 14 yrs old i had learned most of the Alcatraz record, there faces would just drop and they wanted to quit playing lol, about couple years later they found out who i stole it from! My idol YJM!!!Fun times!!!!
4:21 was priceless him looking to the young man , gets the hell yeah in sign language , he actually got to a point where he was having fun after that
That's Antonio, his son.
I just bought his signature Stratocaster, always wanted one since I started listening to him in the mid 80s!
Yngwie always sound great, don't care the repetition as long as it good
sometimes i dont know what is more amazing, when yngwie plays down those millions notes in short time, or when he simple hammers a freakin power chord, he has a really nice way to touch a riff too.

this eight minutes were so well spent, that i actually recovered some of those wasted in the past....woow my brain s on fireee
Wow, just Wow.
Many years ago when I was on the tour bus with Yngwie I said to him the only thing you have not nailed down a 💯 precent is your tone. He looked at me and said yes I am going to create my own pickups and then I will have my tone!!!…We both then cracked a beer 🍺 and drank to that!!!
I love Yngwie Malmsteen 🤘🏻👍🏻✌🏻😘💪🏻
Excellent tone here!
yngwie's really on here!
I first saw Yngwie in Rochester New York when he was a warm up for AC/DC. That was in 1985.
I SEEN HIM IN N.Y WITH THEM RUNNING AROUND THE STAGE N I WAZ LIKE WHO TF IZ THAT. THEN I SEEN HIM ON UHF CHANNEL 13 PLAYING I C THE LIGHT 2NITE AND I WAZ LIKE 😯😬😬😬😬
Is that a small spare Yngwie in the b.g. in case the big one breaks down?
NOBODY ! touches my soul like YJM !! Pure emotions, not even music anymore, just pure soul food.
if u slow down Blue one million times you can hear every blues song ever made
He's on a positive wave.
and rinvigourosed.
I look over for the new record
I have missing his latest past albums
MS若いころ、スリムで、guitar🎸振り回して、ピック足蹴りで、動き回ってたけど、中年期になり、益々王者の風格👑
Top notch playing from the maestro here! :-)
JIMI HENDRIX ROLLED OVR IN HIZ GRAVE N SAT ☝ N SAID WOOOOO MAN. DID I DIE N GO 2 HEAVEN
No comment, i have just to say that he is incredible, amazing, best player ever seen of power metal and also other kinds
Legend...!
he was on fire in this one like in the good old days
Look at that picking hand...that ain´t cheating baby!
Amazing!! I miss this yngwie, very fluid and flawless...

I agree with you, totally, but can someone tell me from your point of view which band, soloist guitar player have evolved and did some things new in order not to get bored? mmmm, dont think so, its just style and old fashion , like my grandmother said: "you are getting older litle son" PD: I have the entire collection as you said, this Yngwie has been a great influence to me :)
***** Once you get to that stage, you may find Jazz starts to appeal more. But as far as metal (and other) style guitarists go, personally I found Marty Friedman has some pretty awesome playing. Very interesting scales, choices of notes and phrasing that is quite unique. You sure know Marty when you hear him!
Of course that is just my own preference and other people will have good suggestions too.
These days I don't play like that at all really. I spend most of my time in alternate open tunings and virtually never shred.
he is so amzing hail yngwe who cares about the songs i just wanna hear him SHREEED! appreciate him for what he is!
7:13 vibrato.......... awesome ....
THE YNGWIE'S SOUND!!! great sound!!!
I take it that all of the Yngwie bashers also dislike blues guitarists for playing the same shit over and over as well, right?
eric clapton same 3 notes his whole life yet no one ever calls him out.
Yes, brilliant guitarist, still the fastests, and one of my fav.!!!!!
troppo forte è un piacere ascoltare.
The best !!! I love You yngwie malmsteen 😍
This is by far the most arrogant, egocentric, self-centered display of shred masturbation I have ever seen. I love every fucking second of it!! Killed it at Mojoes two weeks ago...tiny stage, 33 full Marshalls, YJM Strat, and tore through about 200 picks. Awesome!
Sick right? I saw him at the observatory and it was epic. a guy was passing around a joint and I took a hit. seeing malmsteen shred is fucking insane in person
I caught a pick too lol
@ShredIsNotDead1986
Well said!!
There are a lot of fast guitar players out there, but very few of them have the vibrato, accuracy, phrasing, and compositional skills of Malmsteen!!!
By any standard or measure Yngwie is one of the greatest guitar players that's ever lived!!! Whether you like his music or not Yngwie is one of the best!!!
There's only one Maestro!!!
CHEERS!!!
Yngwie makes playing the guitar look easy lol
the force is strong in this one
2:04 how can you say that yngwie has no feel after that
Only Vai fans think he has no feel cause they have no soul
MyCustomTH-camChannel at this point you can say it because he plays slow blues stuff
never heard of this chick! but I'm so glad I did!
is it just me or is he turning into Elvis? I stll love him though.
haters gona hate, but yngwie is one of the greatest ever, he revolutionized rock electric guitar playing...and above all, he is great composer, he knows how to write a song, not many shredders knows to do that
Still the king
It's hard to think of a song that's as innovative as Far Beyond The Sun as being a classic that's over 35 years old.
i had a dream taht i went up to yngwie and i asked him to sign my guitar and he said No, lol
Salah satu harta karun yg dimiliki dunia.. AMAZING
