Yngwie was the first one to explain why diminished arpeggios work so well with harmonic minor...and it's so obvious when you see it. The 7th sharped tone is the same 1 1/2 step stretch as the diminished arpeggio.
For lick #2 a great way to ease into that sort of lick or run, check out Rainbow's Death Alley Driver. From the Straight Through the Eyes album. Check how Blackmore starts the solo.
But I I’ve been practicing these 5 easy licks since I tore the floppy plastic recording of , Black star out of Guitar player magazine ,and to my shear pleasure the first notes of the Em arpeggios began to sustain longer and while doubling the main licks that started to double the 3rds,5ths,flat 3rds and you know. In that 5mins I was turned into an early adopter, an early Yngwie enthusiast. I will leave it there , cause if you’re reading this , you just get it. It’s about the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard played with the most passion squeezed out of every note. I lost Randy Rhoads in 82 but I found Yngwie around when that magazine came home with me 83,84 or there abouts [I turned 20 in 1985 for reference ]. And my next BIG discovery was STEVE VAI [ I met him one time for a couple of pictures, he signed 3 cds for me, that was in 2007 , 2008 time period. A question for everyone to participate in, Does he still use brass nuts ?
Haa.....I can play anything Yngwie can play....when he was five. Elmo, you are such a great player you could take something simple and make it sound totally hard, no really, I mean that as a compliment! Oh and when you cry over making a mistake, I'm crying crocodile tears right with you.....yep I'm jealous. I am waiting for someone to transpose Debussy's "Gardens in the Rain" for electric guitar, hopefully it will be me 😀, nice job and great examples, Bruce.
Nice job! BUT, it would help immensely if you had the camera directly in front of you, not at an angle, when showing left hand runs, so us viewers could see the exact fret fingerings more easily.
That's why you have ears 😊 I know it's a chore, but it's really beneficial. Besides, that would mean moving the camera, and that's just way too much work 🤣
do u have any tips on how to sound like Yngwie in specific to how he uses the wammy bar? I love how he has that flutter effect even tho he has that 6 screw trem

@@trevorgwelch7412 hi trevor i have that same amp, just get the fender yngwie overdrive pedal, or the dod yjm 308, or the old dod 250 but those are exepensive man I have one his old signature guitars with dimarzio pick ups, he uses seymour duncan pick ups now days but if you have a strat and either one of those pedals you should sound close to his sound
do you recommend making sort of a fist while holding the pick for more power and stability or do you suggest keeping the idol fingers loose? not been able to find a proper solution to this problem of mine
I'm not sure. Personally I recommend doing what comes naturally, and not overanalysing stuff. If you have trouble with something, then you need to think about it obivously. I'd probably not recommend a proper fist though. Doesn't strike me as relaxed.
Killer video. Love it. That first pyrigian scale I will have to practice. The third one I use myself. Love that seventh I think it is that makes the harmonic minor. Love it. I don't know modes. At all really, but I do understand the theory behind it, but I'm a blues rock guy and 99.999999 percent of my playing and even when I giggled was playing blues based music because that was what paid. I do play guitar for myself, and hope others like it, but use my ear and just figure out what I want to play. Have done so since about 77. 😀 That baroque and roll lick is hard to do fast. Man, dammit. Now I have to practice tonight. You've stirred my guitar craving. 🤣 Great video sir. Be safe my friend! Is it possible to use string skipping instead of sweeping those arpeggios?
A few. There's one: th-cam.com/video/EZnFm7SFKB4/w-d-xo.html&t= I'm planning on doing a video on my pedalboard, and I use the Marshall 1987x, so you can look for my videos on that.
@@MrPolevaulter sorry....i mean you are playing this vid LEAD with neck position I have never paid much attention to what pup position malmsteen uses on his leads ...is it mainly neck position is what i meant ...... he gets great tone in his leads -and his rhythm for that matter ....i am not a huge fan of his....but i think he might just have the perfect tone - which i think in hindsight , has more than a bit of Blackmore economy of overdrive ....anyway ...great vid , greetings from melbourne australia !
Hi! I know that I'm not asking a question on the topic of the video) please tell me which amplifier is better/more versatile dsl 20 or 6505mh ? Does it make sense to buy a big head ? Thanks))
You know you are doing something illegal right?!? You are using Yngwie Malmsteen's trademarked name while having Patreon and monitising on TH-cam! You know that is illegal right/ They will get you.
@@MrPolevaulter So your saying you deliberately changed the camera angle so we don't see the notes played and we are forced to solely use our ears? Come on man, that's just lame.
Wow great guitar player and great licks my friend but still doesnt sound like yngwie malmsteen on your guitar tone, you have a lot of pedals overdrive malmsteen signature and you have a malmsteen guitar signature as well but still doesnt sound like yngwie malmsteen.....anyway you are a really good guitar player..cheers
Ok, estuvo bien pero no enseño nada, solo hizo su show, los que quieren sonar un poco a Yngwie ya conocen de memoria sus repertorios de licks, y lo que quieren es que les enseñen como hacerlos, y en este video no hay nada de eso solo un buen guitarrista luciendose, que aburrido.
I did made two simple licks on one or two strings. I need more of this to improve max speed, especially my right. I want to play Bark at the moon, Demon Driver, I'll see the light tonight with right hand. Target for simple licks is 400 picksperminute. ppm next ;-)

Lick #1 is classic Yngwie. He does it in literally every song. That's definitely his trademark build tension and take a break from shredding move lol.
:)

Great lesson! Nice licks to get started with Malmsteen.
Glad you liked it!
Always love your lessons & playing, Elmo! Rock on! 👍 🎸
Glad you like them!
For lick #2 a great way to ease into that sort of lick or run, check out Rainbow's Death Alley Driver. From the Straight Through the Eyes album. Check how Blackmore starts the solo.
Thanks for the tip :)
The start of that solo is actually a paraphrase of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor (transposed to A minor in this case).
Very good Yngwie stuff, thanks!
And thank you 😊

Haha :D

Было бы круто достичь такого уровня игры! Вечером попробую, вдруг получится. 🤘😀
О, круто! Number two получается, только очень медленно. Пол года тренировки и я достигну половины твоей скости😄
I like the easyish👍🎸

Great lesson Elmo!!

Brilliant stuff ... every day is a learning day 👍

Watch Troy Grady. The guy breaks down picking semantics like no one else from every shred king you can think of

If it sounds good, you can do it :)
Take care man!
@@MrPolevaulter Thanks brother. Going to try that versus the sweeping which I seem to suck at. 🤣
Ah...........So good😊
Elmo my God so good !your sound is like 1 delay ?
1 delay, yes.
Hi..thank you sir,I just noticed your neck fretboard is not flat,is that the case, I'm always focused on what your fingers are doing?
Yeah, it's scalloped.
The opening to Stronghold is easy if you're a beginner. Not Yngwie shredding but hey its something
True.
What’s your signal chain with that plexi Elmo? You put delay in the fx loop or in front?
In the loop.
Excellent Lesson ---- But I Need Tab , I Wasn't born with Perfect Pitch . Stay Cool Bro 🎸✨🥇☮️
Thanks! You don't need perfect pitch.
@@MrPolevaulter Thank You Ok
Hi..fret board, scalloped is that what they call that?
Yep.
YOU ARE EASY MAN I ALWAYS LOVE YOUR PLAYING 💙🇫🇮💙
Kiits :)
5:45 hey That Guy, are you sure your thumb is not double jointed?
Nope.
On that diminished sweep Yngwie sweeps 3 down in a row...
Ok.
Are you based in Finland?
Imma guess that with his skills, he's pretty B A S E D everywhere
Yep.
@@MrPolevaulter where about sin Finland ? Do you do lessons?
Any video about ur gear pedal and amp?
A few. There's one: th-cam.com/video/EZnFm7SFKB4/w-d-xo.html&t=

@@MrPolevaulter why?)
Tab? how is anyone showing licks now a days without showing the tab. ??
Finnish have complicated names like Indians. I will visit your country Finland one day. I always wanted to go there for vacation.
Welcome :)
How to Kick a pick with precision and panache ?!?
YT ate my better comment 🤣
YT is hungry :D
I think I heard some Uli Jon Roth snuck in there at the end...
Not really. Haven't really listened to him.
@@MrPolevaulter as an Yngwie fan, you should :)
Too many people ignoring the great UJR.
all of them are easy. the problem is to play them fast :D

ok not to present tabs but at least film the slow demonstrations with a frontal camera view

Thanks! I don't want it to sound exactly like him. I use a different cab and speakers for instance.
Need tab bro, wtf
All Yngwie licks are easy. He plays the same few very basic patterns over and over. Not easy-ish. Just easy.
Ok, estuvo bien pero no enseño nada, solo hizo su show, los que quieren sonar un poco a Yngwie ya conocen de memoria sus repertorios de licks, y lo que quieren es que les enseñen como hacerlos, y en este video no hay nada de eso solo un buen guitarrista luciendose, que aburrido.
No tabs = dislike. What I do have need to waste more time on this I will practice it non stop for hours after choosing? Absolutely ridiculous
Yes I played all examples really fast just to annoy you.
I did made two simple licks on one or two strings. I need more of this to improve max speed, especially my right. I want to play Bark at the moon, Demon Driver, I'll see the light tonight with right hand. Target for simple licks is 400 picksperminute. ppm next ;-)
For now I did make it a little bit easier to improve max speed 🙂
