i love your trolling... until you say something about my sacred cow ;) lol
so how's this make Yngwie look like a clown tell me? sound's like your jealous mate...

It's also pointless

Looking for these tabs since 1927! Thank you!
🤣
pretty sure if I practiced since 1927 still wouldn't nail it
🤣🤣🤣

This may have been the inspiration for the way Yngwie dresses too 🤣
Amazing comment! 😂🤘
Nah, this guy is way more modest.
He's a zero that's not that difficult
Got eem! Too funny!
I give this video exactly 2 days before the clown gets sad and strikes it down. 😊

Just a reminder that incredible musical technique wasn't invented last week. Although the music and the instruments have changed, humans haven't. There have been mind-blowing musicians for tens of thousands of years.
Funny thought then: I've been 🥱 at this kinda music for all my 1000s of incarnations. All fast repetitions and no new feeling
Humans haven't changed in tens of thousands of years...?
@@Nickdeaugustine they didnt even have stringed instruments 10k years ago. OP is a batcase
@@KnewTherapy I wasn't aware that stringed instruments held exclusive ownership over the term "incredible musical technique"
@@Nickdeaugustine Genetically, not really. It takes a minimum of 50,000 years for any genetic variation to propogate throughout a population for a species with the generation length of humans.
I don't know what I love more - a clown shredding or the fact that there's TAB for the shredding clown !!!
But what tuning is that
@@НикитаЖданько-х9щ trying to figure out how a clown tunes his mandolin in 1927 might be more difficult than actually playing it .. I'm sure there are people here who know more than me, but I think mandolins are tuned, low to high, G D A E .. But it probably doesn't matter because TAB is for the notes played, not the tuning
💀
@@lucasvonbraun um tabs require the tunning incorporated into the tab or the fret numbers will give you different notes. TABS are not for "notes" played but for "frets" played at a specific fret tunning.
@@SameBasicRiff you must be fun at parties .. Perhaps people would like you better if you dressed up as a clown and played
What's truly sad is that talent like this probably still only earned him about 10 cents a week.
Which is more than what spotify pays
back then 10 cents could buy you an island
10 cents was actually worth something then though
@@Lizardlizard02 Dimes were real silver back then!
@@5roundsrapid263 100 years ago, 20 cents had the same buying power as $3.54 does now
Damn dude. His notes all sound perfect. And with the recording equipment back then - and this bejng acoustic.
His dexterity is obviously impressive but the consistency is amazing.
He's also playing double-coursed strings that are very high tension in a very small space.
You can hear a little more modern version from Steve Morse "The Bash" off of the Night of the Living Dreggs album. Yngwie didn't invent 32nd note classically derived passages.
He did however, make them cool again and raised that technique bar a bit higher in the rock arena. He wasn't the first. But he was noticed.
"Technique is a means to and end, not the end itself- George Duke"
The new 3-disc release of the 1927 film _The Jazz Singer_ includes a 10+ minute short titled "Bernardo De Pace: the 'Wizard of the Mandolin'," which is on disc 3 of the set. This is an old Vitaphone recording which was one of the first synchronized film and sound techniques. This video is that snippet.
Thanks for that info!
He was a wizard!
Oh sick!
i fuckin love youtube comments. thanks for that info that's really cool!
yeah, but it's speed up for comedic effects... the original must be closer to what it loooks like on 0.75x
Imagine if they had metal back then. This guy would have been recording the sickest metal records.
He would prolly be playing for Archspire or Dream Theater
You all listen to lame mainstream metal. Way to stay corporate lads

@@NintenDub soooo metal.. even metalhead dislike them.

No distortion, no fender strat, just plain talent.

Yea because you can't possibly have talent and use distortion or a fender. Idiot
What's wrong with distortion and fender strat? Both are great and very talented musicians.
@@willianfnseaol136theyre just saying that its harder to make it sound clean without distortion and acoustic instrumenta sre harder to play than a strat
@@willowsparks4576 so you've never seen Malmsteen play an acoustic guitar?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are both phenomenal artists. Don't forget one of Yngwies idols is Paganini, so his finger style and flamboyant extravagance (which, if you have ever tried to play a Paganini caprice, you'll understand his bravado). YNGWIE is a legend and so is Bobby Davis
LOL incredible!!!!
I saw Yngwie with the whole band of Swedes on the first stop in Florida for the Eclipse tour many years ago. I was up front, he was 10 feet away from me. The entire band were fantastic. KB player was insane, trading licks with Yngwie. Yngwie was young, very accurate, and absolutely amazing to see that close. It was like a guitar lesson from a legend.
I took my 12 y/o son to his first metal concert ever & it happened to be Yngwie at The HarrisburgXL in March 29th of 2022.🎸🎶
Yngwie seeing a 12 y/o kid in the front "right at the gate" watching his performance intently actually had Yngwie playing that side of the stage most of the night & giving my son & one of my friends/guitar student a hell of a show.🎸🎶😎
The opening acts...Alpha Venturi & the Kurt Deimer band were really excellent sets, too.
I remained "pals" with the boys from Alpha Venturi & Kurt Deimer himself since then, because they could actually hear me singing along to their stuff & Yngwie's stuff OVER the set & the throng😎🎶
I used to work at pro music...dabble, is more like it🤔🎶
So, Yes...despite the paparazzi b.s. we hear about Yngwie, he puts on a good show🎶🎸
He's a tad "superstar overboard", but I won't EVER "pay" to meet a guy who openly declares to "HATE" vocalists anyhow.
Great showman nonetheless.😎
Shrapnel Records wishes they had a time machine to sign this guy
They got his reincarnated self, Bernd Steidl
All they have to do is go to a bluegrass festival and snag any mandolin player there. This was basic mandolin playing.
Yes right next to Vinnie Moore
Hahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘
@@ΠαναγιώτηςΠαπακωνσταντίνου-φ7μ and macalpine
Everything from that era is wonderful but at the same time it's creepy as hell I've never been able to figure that out
Check out Jon Levi's channel. Might add some context/theories as to the world situation 1849 through now.
Well it’s a dead clown. Not everything from 1920’s is creepy
Film Noir Instrumental Shredding. Sounds like you may have some deep-seated issues, amigo.
@@oldnikix lol
Why is everything from that time creepy? They were just people. 100 years wasn't really that long ago. As you get older you'll realize that.
The comedic and technical value here is unmatched. I must learn this.
Imagine this guy shredding on a Stratocaster.
Nice to know my mandolin will fit through the window when I throw it out after seeing this. Just kidding. What an amazing display of accuracy and expertise. Inspiring and timeless!
Legend has it he played even faster during the silent movie era
Ok, that was a good one.
brilliant
🤣🤣🤣
and only a hipster heard it.
Now we know where Marty got his picking style from!
Lol I haven't noticed
Friedman?
At some point this guy thought,
“I’m going to practice 8 hours a day so I can attain virtuoso musicianship. Then I’m going showcase my hard-earned musicianship by getting a ridiculous hairstyle, putting on clown outfit with a giant, frilly collar, and playing a mandolin while I make ridiculous movements and facial expressions.”
underrated comment
That is (or was) showbiz, especially in the early days of film when things were still heavily influenced by vaudeville...it wasn't enough to just play well, you had to have stage presence and be interesting to watch...there's a whole interesting history behind the clown costume (actually a Perriot costume deriving from Italian theater) and the introduction of the mandolin into American pop culture...yes it's silly, but it's not ONLY silly, there were historical/cultural reasons behind it that were relevant in that era but are forgotten today...
@@karawethan To put it simply, that was the culture back then. It's not unusual that we can't relate to it 100 years later.
"this guy" is named Yngwie Malmsteen and he mostly plays guitar, not mandolin. Other than that you've got it all right
@@theqoulyv The mandolin player in this video is not Yngwie Malmsteen.
i love how he actually headbanging here on this video
when yngwie hears this, he screams then runs and flys away on his guitar, hissing at everybody on the ground
On top of it all, I seriously doubt there was overdubbing or many retakes if any at all so this guy is truly a legend no matter how you slice it.
Overdubs definitely dod not exist yet. The other musicians you hear are playing simultaneously. It didn't take too long to figure out how to do playbacks with lip sync. Overdubbing vocal tracks was
Overdubs? Re takes?
Bro this isn't 2022 😂
@@elmangoiv it's even 2023 my dude
As an Yngwie fan, that title had me in stitches. Also, goes to show "shedders" have existed pretty much since stringed instruments became a thing
The difference between the old "shredders" (I hate that term) and the newer guys, in that in the old days, technique was the culmination of terrific all-around musicianship. IT was (and still is) one aspect of being a complete musician. Nowadays you have beginners that spend the majority of their time trying to "shred" at the expense of the rest of their musicianship. But in our age of narcissists, all the matters is the appearance of musicianship.
@@flazjsg абсолютно верно. Техника заменила музыкальность. Важен не выбор нот, а скорость, с которой они играются.
@@flazjsg i never really cared for a shredder it seems very copied and not so original while they are talented in there speed there doesn't seem 🤔 most of the time to be any soulful sounding shredders it to me just don't sound good when its the whole song but once in a while someone with a real musical approach comes along marty friedman for instance has a nice approach and its musical richie blackmore is another example off the top of my head.not saying these super shredders aren't talented in there own right it just sounds to mechanical almost like there's no human element involved.
always been clowns tho 😆
@@flazjsg It's a generalization, but I get what you mean. However, great technical players generally know a lot more about music theory than the average person. While they spend a lot of time building speed, their practice sessions wouldn't be much different from a classically trained musician. We all have to work on the things we want to improve. They have to know their scales front and back, they have to know which scales to play depending on the key they're playing in, they have to do finger exercises and ensure that their right hand is in sync with their left hand etc..
I've been playing for more than 20 years and can't shred. I've always thought that it would be cool if I could, but never focused on that. A teacher did have me practicing scales with a metronome, but I never practiced those for more than a few minutes at a time because I found it tedious.
Holy Moly! Just imagine if this guy had had a modern electric guitar. Talent is timeless.
Yeah, because electric guitars-invented around 75 years ago-are modern.
@@alperfetti4125 They are. " of, relating to, or characteristic of a period extending from a relevant remote past to the present time" So any time past a past time to current time can be modern. So 1931, about 4 years after this. So past that time. Even then those Electric guitars were not like our current ones, they were with basic pickups. The OP definitely means the Electric Guitars like what we have been using more relative to about 60 years or so. And then to todays Electric Guitars which have even more advanced technologies in them.
@@JKurayami splitting hairs, but whatever.
As a mandolinist, I'm not clear on what he would do with a guitar. Totally different tuning.
And here I am trying to find the name of the song, just to see if someone's metalized it lol
When you show up to the gig with a full stack but it’s an unplugged show.
I'm sure this video got a lot more clicks than it otherwise would have just simply by putting Yngwie's name in the title. That kind of name recognition cannot be denied. Nice to see that my thoughts line up with many others here in the commentary that shredding really is timeless and humans have had a virtue also's in all ages and times. Thank you to the channel owner for posting this vintage clip. \m/
Shredding probably existed since the invention of stringed instruments. I wouldn't be surprised if they used to shred in Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt etc. and the music archaeologists found was just the basic framework of the music.
I heard an ancient Egyptian song and it made me think of Eddie Van Halen. I can't remember what it was called otherwise I'd send you the link.
He sure wasn’t clowning around playing that solo
That was corny as a clown. But I laughed.
Might work on my alternative picking after seeing this.
Do it! Just start slow and it'll become natural in no time.
@@ClassicalPan
@@ytr3488 I take it you find alternate picking difficult. I hope your struggles pay off soon.
I remember this rave in Macedonia back in 1257 , man everyone had it going on ! It was like Hee-Haw without Banjo's .
He protec
He atak
But most importantly he shred
Shredding! In 1927!! On a Mandolin!! Fantastic!!!
There was shredding in 1627.
...and without a whammy bar....
Mandolin picking is one of the original sources of fast pick-every-note styles on fretted instruments with steel strings. Very short sustain lets you hear every note, even at ridiculous tempos - and also lets everybody hear if your timekeeping is even a little off.
Django started playing banjo if im not mistaken. Genius
He should be praised in the world of Metal 🤘🤘
What this snippet doesn't show is that in the full video, a string breaks while he is playing and he seamlessly does a little humorous pantomime to distract the viewer, while he clears the string. Then he goes back to playing as if it was all part of the act. Most viewers wouldn't realize what happened. He is playing a Lyon and Healy Model C, which is a classic design, now long out of production, although there are a few luthiers custom-building them for clients.
It's not hard to imagine Yngwie looking like a clown. The majority of time he dresses like he's an extra for the Pirates of the Caribbean.
I looked up your profile and it says that you work at Burger King. You probably have to wear a Whopper hat you clown so you should talk. 😅😅
Pirates drive Ferraris?
@@wakeupcanuck6763 Yes, Yngwie leaves the convertible top halfway open so that it functions like a sail. Captain Jack Sparrow gifted a Ferrari to his ex bed pooping wife as well. Lots of pirates have Ferraris.
That's just called being a cheesy Euro douche.
@@donkarnage6032 Yeah, lots of pirates have Ferraris, but none of the pirates makes a record as Yngwie Malmsteen´s Risng Force of 1984, and then Marching Out, and Then Trylogy, so, Yngwie Malmsteen is a musician, and the clown is a clown who plays notes at warp speed, but definitely not a very good musician.
Jus listen the arrangement of the supossed Albinoni´s Adagio in Risng force, only a musician can make that.-
th-cam.com/video/YluYl4eOjBc/w-d-xo.html
And he plays really fast on this theme.
A talented man that will be lost to history. I'm glad to have to have seen this, thank you!
Eventually, everyone will be forgotten, from the lowest peasant to the most powerful and/or most famous people ever. Hyperbole much?
He ain't lost now. Look at all the love!
omg - I wonder how you come up with such footage - looks like the invention of shred on stringed instruments - wait... there was a guy called Paganini.
He started headbanging. This is amazing.
About 30 seconds in, he drops the smiley clown act and lets the shred take over his soul.
Getting a strong Roy Clark vibe from this... Virtuosic playing mixed with goofball fun.
Clark was incredible.
Steve Morse, the Dixie Dregs "the Bash"
The talent people had way back when is what we today call mad-skills
Yep. If it was a piramid they would say "alieeennnsss"
That was awesome. The original shredmaster!
My first live concert, thamks for the memories 🧓🧓🧓
I'm so stupid, I think that what I'm hearing is actually the sound from the "1927" recording.
you can't Shred this Clown 😎🔥🔥, he is AMAZING!
He probably likes Donuts too
He drives a Ferrari.
I've never heard a mandolin played like that before. Job well done!
Check out Marty Stuart when he was about 12 - this guy has nothing on him. Mandos are so small hence easier to speed pick on unlike guitar you hardly ever have to move your fretting hand more than an inch - no big deal. Now if this guy played scales from an "outside" Holdsworth or even a Joe Pass - that would be impressive. But here he's all simple scales already explored by Django and Grapelli types 🤡
@@cuda426hemi not really, he is changing on chords, not scales, that's musicianship, also this is how you play the piece, besides the low sustain is used, with a sound so clear and distinctive even non trained ears can identify mistakes on the spot as a game, that's part of the performance, I think today's people are kind of dumb when they cannot follow such an obvious intention, finally, this music has more classical influence than Jango's manouche style, so I dissagree with you, Holdsworth? Wtf, how is he supposed to fit on this video at all?
@@dontbothertoreply9755 He is literally arpeggiating major, major 7th, minor, minor 7th standard chords - nothing fancy or like I said "outside" - it's almost the same as the jump jazz Grapelli and Django did in the 30s except Django could rip scales in the Hot Club 30s that were jazzier than here in the 20s . 🎸
Yingwie Clownsteen.
This only proves the old axiom in music. It is not the talented that reap the bonuses, it is the popular.
I am very good and confidant at what I can play on my instruments. But,musicians like this are on a level of skill that is not only unabtainable by me,but what i also look up to and am inspired by. Fascinating
Bernardo De Pace is like the Shawn Lane of being a clown from 1927 that makes Yngwie Malmsteen look like a clown
There we go -- he has a name. And lived until just 2 weeks shy of Yngwe's third birthday. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardo_De_Pace
Avi Avital can shred like that! After watching this video I searched him. He is the biggest name right now in mandolin.
Avi Avital can also play in odd time signatures lol.
The fact the sound quality is this good from something in 1927, the same year the first talking movie released is nuts (The Jazz Singer)
Isn't this video from the movie The Jazz Singer?
I'm not in the best state of mind, so I can be interpreting your comment in a wrong way
Boy that posture is ... different. I think this is the only mandolinist I've seen whose picking hand elbow is under the instrument, approaching from the bottom instead of the top, and who could sustain tone that way. I'm impressed, for sure.
Can we just take a minute to recognize the patience required for the transcribing effort here? Maybe that's even more impressive than the clown himself. But cool all the same. And yeah, as others have said, musical virtuosity didn't just come with 80's shredders. I think I heard Paganini used to purposely snap his violin strings just to add a little extra drama to the speed runs. Not sure if it's true, but great players have always been around as long as the music has been. :)
as the transcriber, I both thank you for your comments, but also stress... this was REALLY easy! His playing is so clean, and in time it's easy to hear and notate. People always ask what some of the hardest jobs I've done are and they assume it's going to be an Andy James tab book, or a Jeff Loomis book... but players that tight make your job EASY!
More is more 🔥🤘🎸
your should ARF this....
No Gary's Moore or Vinnie's Moore!!!
Someone needs to do a metal backing track, and re-amp the lead! 🤘
just as a person with an ego lets go, they will learn and grow more, much with what i call a "generation ego" too. when we stop thinking its "our" time, "our" generation, we will learn from humanitys entire timeline.
Very unsure you could even find a person today that could play this instrument exactly this proficiently. That's fantastic.
Ah i think theres people who can emulate this. But not create or BE this
Mandolin players are monster shredders just in the context of bluegrass. Look up Huck's Song by Brumbke Mountain Boys. It's great.
There’s plenty of mandolin players that could do this. That doesn’t make it underwhelming by any means. Just means there are plenty of extremely proficient mandolin players who wouldn’t have a problem doing this.
Wow… that clown can pick!
The Italian touch is clearly felt and I have searched for other videos of this musician where I ended up discovering this. The traditional Italian music that has a bit of tarantella arrived with the immigration to America where in the Rio de la Plata it was transformed into styles like Tango. If you make a technical abstraction of the initial melody of the song despacito by Luis Fonsi, forgetting that its rhythmic base is Latin pop and you imagine the melody, you will only see that the first phrases inherit the style of zarzuela and Italian folklore. This can be seen in finger style versions with classical guitar.
The zarzuela reference is very good! I never noticed that.
I'm not a huge fan of Mano-shredding, since I think the register is too high & the timbre doesn't compliment it imo, but this was pretty damn cool & I was surprised to find it wasn't even remotely shrill-sounding. The technique was basically flawless, which I find very impressive with how small the frets are. Cool video.
Agree. shame he didn't have an Ibanez, imagine what he could do with their wizard neck.
"Hey, Pepelu! How fast can you play that thing?"
"You betcha!"
Interviewer: what is this called??
Clown Malmsteen: Rising Shorts
Yngwie is awesome yes he has a huge ego but he is super talented a works every day all day to improve his playing.And the man can sing his vocals are Top Notch .Who else do we remember from this era?t⁶
U mad bro? :D
Can we get Troy Grady a time machine to document his technique !!!
It was Troy that asked me to do it
Ritchie Blackmore was the first metallic shredder who stood alone at the time in having one foot grounded in the blues and the other in Classical & Folk and he was as fluid as anyone who has ever played
What is "metallic shredder"?
I agree about Ritchie, but what about Uli?
To be fair.... OG clowns hands and fingers have to cover far less distance than your modern day clowns hands and fingers do.
So did Blackmore/Uli. That being said Clown outfits were very popular with operas.
It's from 1927, so I'm guessing the name of the song is: Let's hunt some j*ws
How can less be more? It's impossible. More is more - Yngwie Malmsteen
Feeling.
Wow and the notes are actually going somewhere ! Not just bunch of harmonic scales and arpeggios...he's actually making musical sense
Early yngwie malmsteen made a ton of musical sense. Had incredible phrasing and melody. The modern yngwie is a parody of himself and doesn't really represent how much of a gamechanger he was when he first hit the scene here in the States
@@ActivateBeastMode1 I'm inclined to agree with you, as he did start out more interesting than he ended up being, but I think there was a bit of s halo effect going wth Yngie, even from the beginning
He looks like he’s having so much fun playing that thing
Shredder Clown. Clown Shredder. Two similar terms with significant different meanings!
Back then there were no high-tech improvements on a performance.
Just crude camaras and exceptional talent.
Pensar que ellos sólo lo hacían como Cirqueros y eran tan talentosos. Hoy por hoy casi cualquiera sabe hacer eso con la guitarra y lo alabamos como si fueran de otro mundo.
amazing! one of the greatest posts of all-time!! very funny!!! you've inspired me to learn this on mandolin.
Definitely did not make Yngwie look like a clown, but he was for sure talented.
Yngwie needs no help making himself look like a clown
@@electromancer2645 These days for sure. He’s become an absolute caricature of himself. I saw him live last year and it was embarrassingly bad…
But you know what? The dude has a colonial mansion in Miami, a Ferrari collection, a Rolex collection, and probably half a million dollars in rare guitars and amplifiers. He’s also got a gorgeous wife and a successful son. So I’d say he’s doing pretty good.

@@electromancer2645 are you saying you don't look like a clown? Appearance is suggestive so you could look like Bozo anytime.

the music is sped up bc of the film conversion between 1927 and now but still extremely impressive. considering he probably had no one to copy the style from.
All on one/two strings, on such a tiny board. This honestly doesn't look complicated at all.
I was worried your titles might be going down the route of clickbait, but this title, this video, and this transcription are amazing. Missing Guitarsoles but loving these tab videos, cheers!
I feel you, but I promise you... if I called it "Bernardo De Pace Mandolin Solo" you wouldn't have ever found it in a search, and youtube would never show it to you. It would have got 200 views so literally everyone loses.
Sounds like a big inspiration for death metal guitar solos
Whoa! Amazing! And this without amplification or distortion/overdrive et all pedals!
"Eat your heart out, Yngwie!"
The mic is picking it up pretty well. You can hear him almost whispering, what sounds like “Whoah boy” maybe, at one point.
*ok. Not Whoah boy. 🤣 he may be speaking Italian
I was just going to say that
Totally clean man, yeah i dont think yngwie can pick this clean without overdrive
And also without improvisation! The clown is awesome, but it's easier to play something perfect if you practice it over and over and over, versus playing something pretty much perfect and amazing with it all being completely improvised. You have to listen to some of yngwie's '90s material and also of course his early stuff. His soloing is mostly improvised creating in real time on the spot is a lot different than practicing something a million times.
Damn that man is SHREDDING so hard
That jester straight shredding that mandolin.
Actually, this is not far off, I've seen YM live several times but at one performance the music before the show was the classical violin for like 15 minutes. YM in an interview once was asked what he thought about rock guitar players and he answered for the most part he doesn't know because he really doesn't listen to them. Yes, he took notice of Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, and Randy Rhoads....he said what he listens to most is the classical violin. So, it's very possible YM also plays the violin and this has greatly influenced his approach to the guitar.
In an interview, Malmsteem mentioned he has a brother who's an excellent violinist.
If I remember correctly Yngwie gave the violin a go, but ultimately jusr left it to his brother.
Yngwies a baller let's be real folks🤣

To quote Pat Boivin, don't we all wish we could un-internet ourselves?
You'd be at a bar still sub-par. Self will is the only thing that never changes and this guy put in the effort. There were many distractions at that time and every time, and the same amount of excuses.
The giant shoes make activating the distortion pedal extremely difficult.
Wow he really went for the juggler there.
Taking on malmsteen 40 years before he even exists, is no small feet. Etc.
Why bring up foot size? 😂
Speak & Spell
Playing that fast, and that cleanly on those tiny little frets takes some very impressive dexterity. Yngwie probably couldn't play mandolin at all with his sausage fingers.
We call it classically trained today, in 1927 it was just called trained
Dude digs his donuts.
Yngwie could watch that, learn that, and play it to a tee.
And could probably pull the outfit off too.
