Incredible video, months of work for 22 minutes, epic, you deserve many likes, the result was fabulous, your analysis is perfect, I've been a fan since 1986, I wish you much success in your personal and professional life.
Back in 1983 I saw him with Alcatraz at a small club in Huntington Beach, California. I was blown away by his technique, speed and fretboard fire! He was amazing. He is to this date my favorite guitarist. I can't play like him but I still love everything he does, and as you said, especially the 80's when he was ON FIRE. Thanks for this video. It was clearly a labor of love and you rocked it. Cheers!
Absolutely incredible, my friend. I'm a fellow guitarist and I appreciate how much time and effort went into this. I first got into Yngwie in high school around '04. Saw him live around that time.. Cleveland Ohio, middle of winter, 10 degrees out and snowing. We waited outside for 2 hours and were 3rd in line at this really tiny club. Got to the front row and just held onto the barricade through the opening acts. FINALLY Yngwie came on and I was 6 feet away from him the whole show. It was awesome. I caught 2 of his picks and gave the guy behind me one haha. Keep on rockin, brother. Excellent video.
Wow, that sounds like you had an awesome time. I saw him here in Australia in the '90's and although I didn't catch a pick, it was an ASTOUNDING show..... cheers mate.
Comprehensive, Insightful, and inspiring... One of the most amazing TH-cam music lessons I have ever watched (I must admit it literally kept me glued to the screen until the end). Thank you Andrew!
That was fab.Not listened to YM for ages, yet this reminded me so much of him - you definitely captured his essence. Good job - educational and entertaining👍👍
BRAVO, MY FRIEND! BRAVO! I've been playing guitar for almost 14 years. I have been to an Yngwie workshop (actually, it was a "workshow" actually haha), and I also can shred some of his stuff. But really, you did an astounishing job! You really took the Yngwie apprentice to a whole new dimension! Your craft is remarkable! Not only the playing, but how you really dive into the theory and how you explain it! NOT TO MENTION, THE GREAT PRESENTATION OF THE VIDEO! The tabs, the music sheet, the circle of fifths. You really took your time to master and give us this masterpiece. This video is a state-of-the-art when it comes about guitar lessons. And you gave it to us for free, that's admirable too! You, Andrew, desirve your place among the demigods of guitar. I have a feel that you will get it. Again, bravo, my friend!
Thank you so much you expressing your support. I really appreciate it. I'm glad that all the information was both entertaining and useful for you. Sorry for the late response btw.
I discovered him in 1985 when, I was introduced to his music by my guitar Instructor Neil Zaza. He forever raised the bar for guitarist everywhere! Just like EVH before him and Jimi before then. That is my top 3 list of guitarists. Seen Yngwie many times over the decades and just saw him on 05/14/22 at the Odean in Cleveland, Ohio. Liked the first 12-15 albums the best! but, even the newest Yngwie will always be better than any new Pop song! LOL You wrote a great song in the neoclassical style. Great Job it is awesome! Thank You!
Impresionante todo hermano...La dedicación que le pusiste a la edición,el sonido,el humor,la composición,la técnica,el felling.Tenes todo Andrew... Abrazo desde Argentina.
Absolutely awesome. Educational approach. Amazing piece, thank you. Soldiers without Faith still gives me goose bumps everytime. Love the Yngwie sound.. 🙏🏼
Excellent job, great composition, breakdown and finished track.....well done. I first heard about Yngwie through my collection of guitar magazines which ( for guitar player) go back as far as 1967. I began collecting around 1975 onwards, and it was there that I heard of him. I was one of the first people in my country (New Zealand), to order his, and many other featured artists first albums, including many of their influences albums too. His style was, and still is brilliant, and it was an exciting time with many great players emerging. His influence, as well as others of the time....most notably Edward Ludwig Van Halen.....and not long after, Steve Vai, so it was incredible for a young.....then..lol....aspiring guitar player. I saved hard for my first stratocaster, a 1970 maple neck standard/w tremolo, then replaced the neck pickup with a dimarzio HS 1 (the series Yngwie uses are the HS 3 I believe), and replaced the whammy with a Kahler tremolo......thus beginning my luthierie apprenticeship. At the same time, I got my first Marshall amp, a 2550 25th anniversary 50 watt head and 2 4x12 cabs in silver Rolex. I also got a Roland GP100, top of their line multi fx units, controller and expression pedals. Now own around 70 guitars, acoustics and electrics, and 10 amps, (5 of them Marshalls.....got to converse with Jim Marshall himself, via letters, he was cool!). Still playing....an eternal student of an instrument that still takes my breath away. Really enjoyed Yngwie on the Satriani inspired G3 video with Steve Vai....all inspirational and exceptionally gifted and talented artists. I often use a wide vibrato like Yngwie, as well as counterpoint, sweeps and diminished runs.....unfortunately, nowhere near Yngwies incredibly clean speed, but fortunately for me, I learnt from Van Halen, Rhandy Rhoads, Stanley Jordan, Jennifer Batten, Steve Vai, Steve Lynch and Joe Satriani......to two handed tap. Anyway, really enjoyed your video, hope all is well for you, and pray God bless and protect you and your family.
Hi Jabba!! thank you so much for your support and for telling us your experiences!! it's fascinating to read your story I can't imagine how would have been living in that time when they where becoming the most influential guitar players ever. It's crazy to hear all that gear you have that must be fun to have such diverse options on guitar and amps. I also remember working hard to get my first fender Strat (and the only one I have😅) I also consider myself as an eternal Student!! :D I wish you the best!!
I have been listening to Malmsteen since 2003 I used to listen everyday and download everything I could while I was on university to listen while I was studying. I don't even play guitar and I understand and recognizer all the stuff you said like is part of my life. I even studied the way Jens Johansson plays and has lots of Bach and Swedish folk mix that I discovered by pure listening and listening to several bandas and medieval classic and folk styles. I realized music is part of my life like breathing and I don't even play instruments. I will have to try someday. And you inspire us listeners to be players
Thank you so much for your comment and sharing your story with me!! some times it's is not necessary to play any instrument to enjoy and appreciate every detail in a musical piece!!!
Phenomenal work Andrew. What a joy to watch, all the way through. I dare say few have understood the Master as well as you. Positively BEGGING you to write an entire album in the vein of "Phantom Shred". Absolutely starved for someone who can pick up from Yngwie circa 1992... great work man - very moved.
Amazing job Andrew. The 1st time I heard Yngwie was in high school and Jeff Scott Soto was still his singer. I wasn't even sure if I was hearing a guitar, he completely blew me away. I literally would not be the player I am today without his influence. That being said, you have done a much better job than most of us hacks, keep playing brother, you have amazing talents.
Wow, this video gives a lot of information and inspiration. I never knew so much about Yngwie, but I‘m quite impressed by his knowledge. Thanks for making this video!
As a long time Yngwie fan (for over 35 years now) all I can say is WOW! Really impressive work: research, presentation, production, execution. Congratulations for a really amazing video!
I discovered Yngwie in 2000 through my friend, he basically said "this is something like Helloween" and handed me a copy of Magnum Opus and it's still my favourite Malmsteen album to this day. His 80's era was his heyday, his biggest rise to fame, but there's something special in his mid 90's albums to me, something about his tone and his musical ideas. His concert back in 2001 was also my very first rock/metal gig I went to (one of the first gigs after Jorn Lande left the band mid-tour and Mark Boals was called in to come back to rescue). His recent work especially since 2008's Perpetual Flame is a disgrace. Ego gone wrong. Not only because lack of inspiration and creativity, but especially because lack of good sound & production. I like the analystic approach you applied here, the video is also very well structured and edited, understandable even to music laics. I also find it fun to dissect songs by some artists and try to copy their style or understand their musical vision and genius.
Thank you for your comment and support. also for sharing your story, is interesting how people differ on wich was the last "good" album of YJM, I like all his work from 80s / 90s and some albums from his 2000s like Attack and Angels of Love. but, sice he is usog his own label "Rising force" there's a lack of creativity (From my perspective) and I feel those albums became an excuse for touring. I like some recent somgs though, and maybe I wont lisent more than a few times.
Vídeo ao mesmo tempo didático, engraçado e divertido. Na hora dos equipamentos fiquei rindo pra caramba, kkkkk! Parabéns pelo conteúdo! Abraços do Brasil.
I like that you have a Demon Driver-inspired riff. The Eclipse album had to grow on me, but my God, it's full of timeless music. I'd say Making Love is top 3 of the album.
Many thanks Andrew, for showing how to make a (very close to Yngwie) like song! First time I heard of YJM was with Steeler (Ron Keel) and Alcatrazz in 1984 when living in Burbank CA with my best friend Robby. I went back east to family, and saw Talas (Billy Sheehan) open for Yngwie in 1985 or 86. (The 80s are rather blurry 🙃 ) Saw him last year in a local venue, and a bunch of times in between. Caught one of his picks at a show and keep it with the rest of the picks, and use it once in a while. He's been a big influence in my own style, along with Steve Morse, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Chris Impellitteri, Paul Gilbert, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Guthrie Govan, John Petrucci, Michael Angelo Batio, Greg Howe, Vinny Moore, Brian May, Alex Lifeson, and TMTM (too many to mention) After listening to these and other shred heads, I still suck at guitar, but keep working to get better. Will hopefully peak and think I suck less before arthritis kicks in. Thanks also for posting the tab link! ✌
Lo has clavado, llevo 30 años escuchando a Yngwie , y muy buen tema el tuyo por que es en su estilo pero no suena a ninguno concretamente, enhorabuena. Y muy buen sentido del humor, que de eso tienes más que nuestro héroe! Saludos flamencos!
I was captured from start to finish. Always loved yngwie and after 20 years of playing classic rock I'm just starting out playing/learning his style. You did an Amazing job. these days, not only have you got to be a great musician, you have to be great at making videos and you've got both down, well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼 new Subscriber 😊👍🏻
Another musician and Yngwie "fan" here... This is soooo on the nose. And it's great dissection into what makes him the maestro.He lives and breathes those influences and that music. Thus people don't really want to even try and imitate him even if it would be great education into what great composers have to teach us. Very nice!
I have been a big fan of Yngwie Malmsteen since 1984 when I first bought his debut album Rising Force. I was in 11th grade of Sr High School. He’s the one that got me into classical music like never before. I was buying albums of Bach, Paganini, and Beethoven. I love the compositions and melodies. I saw him live open for Iron Maiden in Atlanta Jan 7 1987. Great concert. Up until recently I have seen him 9 more times so that’s 10 times total. Great stage presence besides his guitar virtuosity. He plays with pizzazz and he does play with emotion. Critics may say otherwise but I know. Thanks for the video and the composition is very good. Development is real nice.
Wow what a fun video. You really captured the essence of Yngwies playing. I believe Yngwie himself would be proud of that piece you put together. I think Black Star was the first tune I heard I heard from him back in '86 when a friend threw on his Rising Force album. I was pretty floored and became an instant fan. Soon after I went out and picked up the Trilogy album and saw him in concert. During the whole set, he was having trouble with one of his pedals and kept kicking it on stage lol. But he was still amazing.
Awesome video. Your story is very similar to mine, I discovered Yngwie in the same time you did, and got obsessed. I transcribed so many of his songs and learnt a lot abot his style, about music in general and composition, the difference is that I never seriously applied what I've learned like you did, I understand his music, his process and can play some of it, but not at a good level, but I'm happy for what I got doing this for so many years. Now I switched to piano which is my main instrument, but sometimes I play guitar and still listen to Yngwie. I also scalloped my guitar by myself (I did a tutorial video on how to scallop a guitar here on youtube, but now is private). Anyway, great content and good job.
thank you for your comment and for appreciating my work, as far as I know is not that easy work to scallop a neck. its brave of you to doing it. thank you for sharing your story with me and everyone!!!
Dude, Whoever you are, you earned an instant sub for the pro effort of graphics you have put into your vid plus your expose on baroque composers. Oh and your clear respect for Yngwie is the clincher.
I have been listening to Yngwie Malmsteen since 1985. This September coming, I finally get to see him in concert! You did an awesome job on this video!
I can see the amount of work you put in to this. Really enjoyed the video and I will certainly try to learn the licks. Thanks for the slowed down versions of them, will give that a try.
Vaya. Excelente trabajo!! No esperaba que estuviera tan bueno, sinceramente, el estilo de Malmsteen nunca me pareció la gran cosa. Muchas gracias por esto!! Abriste mis ojos jajaj Excelente contenido.
What an absolutely well constructed video. The research and tedious work behind this I’m sure was a massive effort. You broke down every step of the process logically giving a great insight into the style of Yngwie Malmsteen. What must be said though is that you did it with your “own” emotion which shines straight through. To top it off, you have a great sense of humour which really cuts through and makes the whole video a real joy to watch. Love the Paper Stallion on the back end of the acoustic. A shining example to all guitarists everywhere. Thank you. J
Hair [ok]... Seriously, very good. You are a really good guitar player and nailing his style. I believe the difficulty lays in not just to stack all his signature licks one after the other in a solo. He actually are not that predictable. Solos sounded like building blocks of lego. But Yngwie are a unique instrumentalist and no one can copy him, many tries.
Thank you very much for the video and the music. My past is a bit the same as yours. I used to play guitar (Self taught and know nothing about music theories) and listen to Guns N' Roses, and then one day I discovered Yngwie. I listened to his music and I love how it sounds so classical and metal in the same time. His "Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor, Opus 1" album gave me the heart to learn classical piano (Which is something I wanted to do for a long time but didn't had the chance to when I was a kid) Now I have been learning classical piano for nearly 2 years, I learnt the music theories and finally have the ability to understand the beauty of his work. I'm looking forward to play them on both piano and guitar. Again, thank you very much for the video and also the music. Keep up the good work and let more people know about his music!
Thank you su much for your support. I Really appreciate it and it motivates me to keep working and making these videos, 🙏 it’s nice to hear you learned the piano inspired by his music. I also felt really inspired by his concerto suit. For a long time it kept me motivated to learn music and appreciate the musicality of his work. Thank you again 😃
Thanks for creating this amazing video! I enjoyed every second of it and I think your composition is very creative and tasteful. I've been a fan of Yngwie for more than a decade, but with the help of TH-cam content creators like you in the recent years I've finally been able to figure out the ins and outs of his playing. If anything, it just makes me appreciate his work even more.
Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments and for sharing your stories. I'm reading all of them! If you would like to support my work, you can listen to my music in this link. ("Phantom Shred" included) ▶linktr.ee/andrewroz ◀

Incredible video, months of work for 22 minutes, epic, you deserve many likes, the result was fabulous, your analysis is perfect, I've been a fan since 1986, I wish you much success in your personal and professional life.
BRAVO !!
Your presentation is astounding! You will inspire another generation of neo-classical players.
Thank you for your comment!!!
Amazing
yea really well done man! Amazing skills too!!!!!
an outro then a solo?
I didn't know what "counterpoint" sounded like.
I'm in love. It sounds amazing!!
Like a dance between two melodies!
I don't play but been an Yngwie fan for 30 or so years. This is the most fascinating thing I've seen on TH-cam in ages.
More, please!
This is the kind of ultra quality video that you rarely find on youtube. I am lucky to have found it. Good job Andrew.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Back in 1983 I saw him with Alcatraz at a small club in Huntington Beach, California. I was blown away by his technique, speed and fretboard fire! He was amazing. He is to this date my favorite guitarist. I can't play like him but I still love everything he does, and as you said, especially the 80's when he was ON FIRE. Thanks for this video. It was clearly a labor of love and you rocked it. Cheers!
Thank you for your comment and support!!

2:32 “it’s not hard to figure out yngwie likes minor kids”
Wow, that sounds like you had an awesome time. I saw him here in Australia in the '90's and although I didn't catch a pick, it was an ASTOUNDING show..... cheers mate.
Your project, sound, quality, production and HUMOR is outstanding man. Thanks for share your magic. 😎
I appreciate that!
Comprehensive, Insightful, and inspiring... One of the most amazing TH-cam music lessons I have ever watched (I must admit it literally kept me glued to the screen until the end). Thank you Andrew!

This brought tears to my eyes. Incredible breakdown ..
Love the Metal Gear sfx bro, awesome video! Just waiting for the "development completed"
Thanks Man!! I didn't expect someone could discover that "easter egg" Big MGS fan here!!!
Deberías de subir esa canción a Spotify hermano! Abrazo desde México, eres una excelente inspiración para quienes seguimos a Yngwie!
The best content/video I've seen on music theory on guitar. Congratulations for your work...

Really good and ambitious work! You nailed much of his style, sound and many of the elements of Yngwie's music. impressive!

Excellent video and breaking down of his style. I recently discovered Yngwie and was blown away! Lets get you to 20k subs!!!
Thnaks Jason! I appreciate that!
From beginning to end... Phenomenal. Yngwie is still my guitar hero.
Wow, this video gives a lot of information and inspiration. I never knew so much about Yngwie, but I‘m quite impressed by his knowledge.
Thanks for making this video!

Really Loved your Yngwie Malmsteen approach. Great Insight from another Guitarist to us Guitarists Virtuoso's ! Thank you !
Amazing job
Thank you!!!
Great lesson, music, and playing!! I appreciate and congratulations...Two thumbs up !!!
As a long time Yngwie fan (for over 35 years now) all I can say is WOW! Really impressive work: research, presentation, production, execution. Congratulations for a really amazing video!
Thank you so much for your support 🙏

I'm really glad TH-cam recommended me this video, loved it!
Awesome work man! Superb playing!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome, this was a great tribute to Yngwie as well, very well done my friend!

Thank you 🙏
it takes a long time to digest such a piece of work... very well done..
Por favor sigue con esta serie. Gracias por hacerlo de mi guitarrista favorito.

Lo has clavado, llevo 30 años escuchando a Yngwie , y muy buen tema el tuyo por que es en su estilo pero no suena a ninguno concretamente, enhorabuena. Y muy buen sentido del humor, que de eso tienes más que nuestro héroe! Saludos flamencos!
Magnificent. Level of talent and creativity in the composition of the song embedded in the storytelling makes for content wholly special. Bravo sir!
this is one of the best produced videos ive ever seen
Big Thanks!!!
Impressive work you have done for guitar enthusiasts community, if you can do this, I wish for Michael Romeo’s composition demo,,,
I second this, I would very much like to see an analysis for the master Michael Romeo.
Thirded!
The thoroughness is highly appreciated ! Meticulous analysis and study takes you to the next level: a level worth sharing with the world ✍️
Thank you so much for your comment!!!
Detailed and professionally done. Good job!
Thank you for your suppor!
I was captured from start to finish. Always loved yngwie and after 20 years of playing classic rock I'm just starting out playing/learning his style. You did an Amazing job.
these days, not only have you got to be a great musician, you have to be great at making videos and you've got both down, well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼 new Subscriber 😊👍🏻
Perfect, amazing
Thanks a lot!
Outstanding presentation & a wonderful composition in the style of the Neo-Classical Master!
Cara que foda que você é!! Thanks for your time
Andrew... you strip them all, awesome presentation, agile way of approach end to end..... Inspire to neo-classical players......🤩🤩🤩
Another musician and Yngwie "fan" here... This is soooo on the nose. And it's great dissection into what makes him the maestro.He lives and breathes those influences and that music. Thus people don't really want to even try and imitate him even if it would be great education into what great composers have to teach us.
Very nice!
Thank you for your comment!!
Esto es buenísimo! Mucho trabajo y dedicación! Me encantó! Saludos y felicitaciones desde Mar del Plata Argentina!!
Muchas gracias por tu apoyo!! Saludos desde Colombia!! :D
Amazing, astounding and very very very instructive!! Great many thanks. Love Malmsteen!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant job, I can't say more, you said it all with your guitar!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks a ton!
I have been a big fan of Yngwie Malmsteen since 1984 when I first bought his debut album Rising Force. I was in 11th grade of Sr High School. He’s the one that got me into classical music like never before. I was buying albums of Bach, Paganini, and Beethoven. I love the compositions and melodies. I saw him live open for Iron Maiden in Atlanta Jan 7 1987. Great concert. Up until recently I have seen him 9 more times so that’s 10 times total. Great stage presence besides his guitar virtuosity. He plays with pizzazz and he does play with emotion. Critics may say otherwise but I know. Thanks for the video and the composition is very good. Development is real nice.
I reloaded home page about 30 times to find something valuable and finally this video appears) Glad to know your work, man!
Glad to hear it!
That was amazing man, thanks for the insight! 🤘😈🤘
Thank you for your support!!🙏🙏
Wow, amazing playing and composition. Inspired!
Many thanks! Glad you liked it!!!
Wow what a fun video. You really captured the essence of Yngwies playing. I believe Yngwie himself would be proud of that
piece you put together.
I think Black Star was the first tune I heard I heard from him back in '86 when a friend threw on his Rising Force album.
I was pretty floored and became an instant fan. Soon after I went out and picked up the Trilogy album and saw him in concert.
During the whole set, he was having trouble with one of his pedals and kept kicking it on stage lol. But he was still amazing.
Thank you for sharing your comment!!!
This is a treasure of useful licks. Thanks so much for putting this together. Seriously!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excelente composición! La verdad me encantó y me parecio muy interesante el proceso para crearla. Saludos!
Muchas Gracias por el cometario Duglas!!!
Awesome video. Your story is very similar to mine, I discovered Yngwie in the same time you did, and got obsessed.
I transcribed so many of his songs and learnt a lot abot his style, about music in general and composition, the difference is that I never seriously applied what I've learned like you did, I understand his music, his process and can play some of it, but not at a good level, but I'm happy for what I got doing this for so many years.
Now I switched to piano which is my main instrument, but sometimes I play guitar and still listen to Yngwie.
I also scalloped my guitar by myself (I did a tutorial video on how to scallop a guitar here on youtube, but now is private).
Anyway, great content and good job.
thank you for your comment and for appreciating my work, as far as I know is not that easy work to scallop a neck. its brave of you to doing it.
thank you for sharing your story with me and everyone!!!
I feel like playing guitar again after watching this video 🙌🏽
I'm glad to hear that!!!
Incredibly detailed explanation. That was amazing.
Thank you kindly!
Great composition!😎 Cheers from🇸🇪
Many thanks! Cheers from Colombia!!
Dude, Whoever you are, you earned an instant sub for the pro effort of graphics you have put into your vid plus your expose on baroque composers. Oh and your clear respect for Yngwie is the clincher.
Thank you for your comment!!!
I have been listening to Yngwie Malmsteen since 1985. This September coming, I finally get to see him in concert! You did an awesome job on this video!
Thank you so much for your comment, Jeff!!!
@@Andrew-Roz you're welcome!
Incredible video! Great sounds as well. Really inspired me to revisit Yngwie again
I can see the amount of work you put in to this. Really enjoyed the video and I will certainly try to learn the licks. Thanks for the slowed down versions of them, will give that a try.
Thank you for your support!!
Vaya. Excelente trabajo!! No esperaba que estuviera tan bueno, sinceramente, el estilo de Malmsteen nunca me pareció la gran cosa. Muchas gracias por esto!! Abriste mis ojos jajaj
Excelente contenido.
Muchas gracias fransisco por tu comentario!!
What an absolutely well constructed video. The research and tedious work behind this I’m sure was a massive effort. You broke down every step of the process logically giving a great insight into the style of Yngwie Malmsteen. What must be said though is that you did it with your “own” emotion which shines straight through. To top it off, you have a great sense of humour which really cuts through and makes the whole video a real joy to watch. Love the Paper Stallion on the back end of the acoustic. A shining example to all guitarists everywhere. Thank you. J
Thank you Julian!! It really was a long and extensive project. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. That motivates me to keep working on more content.
17:44 - f**ing epic intro!! 17:58 - goosebumps!! Who are you, man?!?
Thank you! you can find the song on all streaming platforms Now!!!
Amazing content man! Lovely lesson wrapped in an entertaining short film! Not to forget your masterpiece of a song! Glad I found this video!
Thank you for your support!!! Really appreciate it 🙏🙏
Hair [ok]... Seriously, very good. You are a really good guitar player and nailing his style. I believe the difficulty lays in not just to stack all his signature licks one after the other in a solo. He actually are not that predictable. Solos sounded like building blocks of lego. But Yngwie are a unique instrumentalist and no one can copy him, many tries.
Congratulations dude, you made an excellent compendium of Yngwie's style, keep making videos like this... 🤘
Thanks a lot for your comment!!!
Awesome video! Quality, good sound and very good instruction. Thanks for the effort!
I have been following your music for a while now...No one I have seen play YJM better and more precise than you...cheers. Love from Bangladesh.
Thank you for your support!!!
Really good malmsteen type song. If i didnt know i would think it was him. Bravo real class
Que buen video, muy buen trabajo, quisiera poder aprender más sobre técnica y armonía
Muchas Gracias!! :D
I enjoyed the tune! I played in an Yngwie inspired band myself but I play the bass guitar.... Sounded awesome👍👍👍👍👍🙄
Thank you very much for the video and the music. My past is a bit the same as yours.
I used to play guitar (Self taught and know nothing about music theories) and listen to Guns N' Roses, and then one day I discovered Yngwie. I listened to his music and I love how it sounds so classical and metal in the same time. His "Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor, Opus 1" album gave me the heart to learn classical piano (Which is something I wanted to do for a long time but didn't had the chance to when I was a kid)
Now I have been learning classical piano for nearly 2 years, I learnt the music theories and finally have the ability to understand the beauty of his work. I'm looking forward to play them on both piano and guitar. Again, thank you very much for the video and also the music. Keep up the good work and let more people know about his music!
Thank you su much for your support. I Really appreciate it and it motivates me to keep working and making these videos, 🙏 it’s nice to hear you learned the piano inspired by his music. I also felt really inspired by his concerto suit. For a long time it kept me motivated to learn music and appreciate the musicality of his work.
Thank you again 😃
Thanks for creating this amazing video! I enjoyed every second of it and I think your composition is very creative and tasteful. I've been a fan of Yngwie for more than a decade, but with the help of TH-cam content creators like you in the recent years I've finally been able to figure out the ins and outs of his playing. If anything, it just makes me appreciate his work even more.
Thank you very much!
This is probably the best video I have watched on TH-cam, in terms of its value.
Thank you for your support!!!
an entire music course in just one vídeo... amazing!
Thank You!!!
Great stuff man! Love the neoclassical stuff!
wow this is probably the best vid ive seen till date on yngwie's style. and the presentation was amazing
Thank you so much for your support!!!
Good Job bro! Rock on ! Play loud !! 🤘🏻
