This is the quality filming that Yngwie deserves. High quality camera and audio, really makes his story shine.

Watching Yngwie play the Strat is like watching Thor the Thunder God wield Mjolnir. You can’t imagine one without the other.

Wow, looks like Yngwie is really taking care of himself. Glad to see it !! We want our guitar heroes to live forever !!

I love how he genuinely loves talking bout his Strats.... his smile is so genuine! What a great and unique player!

Along with Hendrix and Van Halen,Yngwie is one of the most inspiring rock guitarists of the last 50 years 🤘🏼👍🏼

Only person who deserves a signature is someone who can tell you how the instrument has evolved over the years and why it's special to them. Always great to hear you!!!!!!

I´m listening to him all my life and I so appreciate that he stayed true to himself. He is a real artist , creating his own genre with a passion that is combined with a major talent and a gazillion hours of practicing. He will never be surpassed. BR from Germany Tobias

Say what you want about him, you can like him or not, but even today, after almost 20 years from the start of You Tube, after watching hundreds of thousands of videos with guitarists of different ages and from all over the world, his style is inimitable! Any enthusiast of this music who wakes up in the middle of the night after 3 seconds will immediately recognize the song - yeah that's Yngwie! The smoothness of him playing arpeggios and sweeps is still unbeatable.

How the heck can anyone say that Malmsteen's playing is emotionless or soul-less? I just can't see it or hear it. All I hear is emotion in every bit of vibrato... I play "Far Beyond the Sun" every single day and have since I was 16 years old. It's my go to warm up. It never gets old. It's timeless to me like one of Bach or Beethoven's jams. Thanks for always being awesome, Yngwie, and for using the best guitar on this planet - The Fender Strat.

Greatest Guitarist of ALL TIME 🔥💯🌟

“It’s A Nuclear Violin” So badass

Yngwie is the BOSS! I'M 74 and been digging your style since you were young! I finally play a Yngwie Strat and trying to wear it out...!!! Keep Rockin Yngwie Luv ya Bro From Sunrise Florida!

When he said he was 'so honored' it was his best moment. Humility goes a long way bra. He deserves every ounce of credit and belongs in the pantheon of most influential guitaists of all time.

I am 50 years old, and I listen to Yngwie since 1984. I have never stopped listening to him and will never stop. For me, there is no argument that he is the best electric guitar player. This is for #Fender Yngwie J. Malmsteen is the reason ı like Fender Stratocaster guitars. He is the reference line for the rock music. Lots of things changed. Bands changed their music styles to remain relevant. Yngwie has always been there for true listeners with his unique style. So many people will not agree with me, I know, but for me, Yngwie is the biggest Fender Stratocaster player.

I can’t believe it. In a few weeks from now I’m gonna buy the YJM signature and Fender did this video just in time 😍 The Malmsteen stratocaster is the most beautiful guitar ever made. Piece of art!

Legend. The one and only.

And listen to those versions of Far Beyond the Sun and Black Star in the background… Still magical after all these years 🙌

Fenders, Ferraris and Rolexes 🔥Can’t go wrong with any of that ! Yngwie is a legend

Really makes me cry!!Remembered when i was a young boy starting in world...in music!!LIVE LONG TO THE Y.J.M THE GOAT LIVE LEGEND!!💪🎸♥️

YJM the GOAT? Lmao…..sure

Over 30 years ago, I performed 'Far Beyond the Sun' at my high school talent show, earning a standing ovation. Fast forward to my 30th reunion where I caught up with an old friend. She mentioned her 12-year-old son's obsession with a challenging guitar piece by a Swedish artist she couldn't quite pronounce. When I asked, 'Is it Yngwie?' her face lit up. I followed with, 'Is it Far Beyond the Sun?' To her surprise, I showed her a clip I uploaded to KZread from an old VHS tape of me playing that very song. It's incredible to see Yngwie Malmsteen's work still inspiring new generations, and it's a testament to his enduring talent.

Only guy that ever made me want a Strat for any reason.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time! Probably the greatest vibrato of all time! No one else combines so much technique with so much passion and feel, and created their own instantly recognisable sound. Black Star is one of the greatest compositions for guitar ever. What a legend!

25 years ago I heard Malmsteen for the first time. I was blown away as I love classical music and also rock and electric guitar. Fast forward to today, and I realise more and more how much I like his music and entertaining, larger than life personality

Years are passing Yngwie, and you still have enthusiasm and happieness of little child while talking about guitars or playing them. That's what makes you the best, at least for me.

⭐The Master Forever ✨

Some people say that you can't play metal with Strats, but every single one of my favorite players uses Strat. It's hands-down the best sounding and most versatile electric guitar ever build.

Amazing legacy in all respects, and still going strong. Rock on Yngwie! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

He is a Badass no doubt I saw Yngwie open for ACDC and he blew me away!

Im really glad. Yngwie looks super awake with fire in his eyes. He’s so passionate about his guitars. And he seems in good shape. Respect and all the best!

who cannot love this man - he's one of the fastest.

You are the best EL MAESTRO Yngwie Malmsteen 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Seeing Yngwie live was a defining moment for me. That Strat is an extension of his body and soul. Truly amazing.

I'm still not convinced this guy isn't a vampire. He dresses like a vampire, and he clearly been playing guitar for hundreds of years.

I was fortunate to see his beginnings in the US with Steeler, Alcatraz, and of course Rising Force. I met him briefly at an Alcatraz show and he told me "buy the album". I said I already had! 😂 What a legend no one like him ever! He inspires me myself and my playing for 40+ years. Love the video he is the greatest to me \m/

jesus it always shocks me seeing how high his action is

Phenominal video. Mr. Malmsteen you sir are a legend.

I remember hearing Yngwie's first album, which had just been released, as if it were yesterday. One of my best friends had bought the disc, and we sat in his living room with our jaws on the floor as we listened to track after track. Little did we know at the time, that my friend, Wally Voss (RIP), would soon be playing Bass guitar with Yngwie on tour. Thanks for all of the music and the memories !!!

THE MAESTRO. Truly a great representative of Fender and the Stratocaster. Malmsteen and the strat are iconic and inseparable. I hope he continues to inspire us all to great tone and passion for guitar for years to come.

Hardly any guitarist ever talks about his guitars or rather doesn't know them as well as he does!! A Genius, a Master, a Visionary, a timeless guitarist, no man will ever play a guitar like him again, thanks to him my passion for the guitar and his talent pushes me to play like him every day. Thank God for your talent.

I got an Yngwie series strat a couple of years ago, best guitar I have ever played or owned. I love the scalloped neck and the tones the pickups get are perfect.

You were and are a model for all the guitarists in the world. ❤🎸

YNGWIE is STILL the freaking G.O.A.T!!! ( Greatest of All Time). Not just a Virtuoso Master Guitarist 2nd to NONE, but a true Master COMPOSER and Musical WIZARD. He also has THE coolest songs ever written about fighting EVIL ( In the Name of God, from Attack, Fight the Good Fight from Para Bellum) - Still my musical HERO - Hard Fan of over 35 years. His concerts are so good it is INSANE. I literally freaking CRIED I was so inspired. ( I was 5 feet from the stage) Told my little brother, the next time he tours, I'm taking him and paying for the ticket. :) YJM guitars are the BEST, I own one. Can't put it down. The thing is freaking EXCALIBER on STEROIDS. My guitar instructor borrowed one from Fender and wants to run off with it hahaha. We are taking up a collection to buy him one he totally deserves it. Nice guy, great player. LOVE this video, I think YNGWIE used to work for a Luthier, so his knowledge of guitars is off the charts. And like myself he likes CLASSICAL Music. :) I admit it, I'm a classical music nerd and PROUD OF IT of it. :) "To play a wrong note is insignificant, but to play without passion is inexcusable" - Ludwig Von Beethoven

he looks so damn happy talking about that 63 gold. he loves that guitar.

This man is the Mozart of our time!

“I’m no Yngwie Malmsteen or anything I’m still learning” great quote from an amazing book

Nuclear violin indeed, and the truest and purest guitar hero there ever was.

ты крут Мужик. слушаю тебя всю свою жизнь

Such a talented guitar player!

Maestro still kills it. The power, precision, and showmanship that Yngwie displays is a testament to his drive to play his own style. My favorite guitarist alive today.

His playing is so effortless

We used to make fun of each other for liking his playing but then played the albums when no one was around. Dude really is one of the best out there and his genuine love of the instrument always shines through in interviews

This to me... means happiness. Thanks Maestro

It feels like YJM is experiencing a resurgence of interest and appreciation in his music and massive talent - headline interviews appearing all over the internet and beyond. Awesome!

With Yngwie, this is truly the Fender of the Law. ❤

지금 내 나이 50이 넘음.....10대시절 부모님에게 용돈받아 산 기타를 들고 옆 모습 클로즈업 된 maching out 앨범을 듣고 잊을 수 없는 충격이었고 지금까지도 기타를 취미로 잘 치고있네여^^ 아직도 왕성한 활동을 해주고 있음에 너무 감사드리고 늘 건강하시고 당신은 모든 기타 친 사람들에 히어로 입니다. 건강하세요!!!

Excellent he deserves this as he is a pioneer and a legend

Will forever be one of the Guitar Gods, what a Legend!

Thank you Mr YJM! You made our hearts smile with your music all thoses years. Since the Alcatraz era when I was blown away by your quality.

More is more

Worked as stage assistant for him in 2007 and it was one of the best days in my life. He is a real professional and a very kind person. Forget the ego bullshit, he is a perfectionist. As soon as things are in the way he needs for his show, he becomes a very gentle giant. And damn, he is tall.

This video is just amazing, a joy to watch an hymn to instruments guitar and passion for music!👌🏻…

This was soooo good. How can you not love this guy? Thanks for all the great music, Yngwie. ps. Loved the Rick Beato interview.

Bravo! A true legend with a legendary guitar!

I now own 3 Yngwie Malmsteen signature strats. Best guitars I have ever owned!! 🤘🤘

All I can say is the Yngwie Fender "scalloped" Strat, is the BEST Stratocaster in my collection.🎸It's so amazing to play, you can feel how Yngwie feels with it. I could not ask for more. If there's only one suggestion or request I would like to add is, please add another Fret to make it 22, because sometimes I can't use it on other songs with a solo reaching for 22 frets.🙏 (Yeah bending is great, but that one fret is better.)🔥 *YNGWIE MALMSTEEN* is the Best and my favorite guitarist EVER.🤘

It's still one of the loveliness looking strats ever.

I’m so glad fender put this together, and I can’t think of a better ambassador for the Stratocaster. I mean come on, Miami landscape, red Ferrari with a Rolex laden hand on the shifter, and a collection of Strats - Fender nailed it! 🤘🏻 🎸

How can you not love Yngwie?

You can tell he really comes to life when the subject is guitars, and more specifically his own collection. His joy and love for guitars is contagious.

beautiful piece on the Maestro. Great to see him healthy, fit and happy and playing as brilliantly as ever. He is my God.

Yngwie looks great and seems happy!!

Yngwie is a true Stratocaster Embassador! This guy knows Strats. A living legend!

Yngwie rules! I love listening to him play!

My sister introduced me to your music in the late 80s. I was 18, and I loved your sound . Then babies and life came in between I'm a granny now, and today I came across your channel . Wow, it takes me back. You sound and look great, thank you for your inspiration and contribution to music .💓🎶

I'm 120 years old and I've been listening to Yngwie since I was 82. He's like a damn Fender historian in this video. He inspired me to shred back then and I'm still shredding today. Thanks for all the inspiration, Maestro!!

I could listen to him playing for hours. But i could also listen to him talking about guitars for hours. He really knows the instrument like few people.

I'm not a super Yngwie fan boy but, he's still the best at that style of playing. So fast, so clean, so precise.

Fantastic Video! Rock on Yngwie!

I have listened to his music all my life and he was my inspiration to start playing guitar... although I will never be able to be at his level. I'm just a few days away from getting my first Yngwie Malmsteen Signature, just a few days away from fulfilling one of my dreams! My guitar playing is inspired by Yngwie and that makes me very happy. When I found out that his “solos” were improvised I was a bit frustrated.... they are amazing, but that only reinforced my admiration.

Nice to see the maestro coming out of his shell, usually so shy and retiring. 🫠 Yngwie is a rare thing, an innovator, you can count them on one hand. Thanks for keeping me inspired and entertained since the 80’s. 💃🏽🕺🏽🍻🍻

Such a passionate musican. A true master.

Congrats on 40 years Yngwie!

Wonderful video, outstanding quality documenting a living legend!

The true musician knows what he is talking about and knows each of his instruments thoroughly. I would spend hours listening to the Master.

I love with the passion you talk about guitars man!!! That's awesome!. The world need more people like you!

Maestro! Sei un grande! Originale e creativo! Saluti dall'Italia 👋🎸🔥

Such dedication to his music and chosen instrument. A true master of his craft.

your hands like float over the neck the notes are so clear and fast freekin amazing - neo classical madness

He deserves Fender, very royal to the brand.

GREAT !!! yngwie !!! thanks so much !i ve follow you since the beguinning !! your feeling is huge ! from france

So passionate after everything that he has done one of the coolest things to see

Yngwie is my hero. I have two Fender Strats because of him. Love it.

the black star's part gave me chills i listen this track from his album every day since 20 years, at work, or at home a f**king masterpiece goosebumps every time Yngwie is by far ma favorite guitarist' artist, he is living legend et c'est mérité, personne ne peut prétendre être meilleur cet artiste est imcomparable, aussi bien en connaissance qu'en compétence, bonne chance aux autres :) immense respect😶

Outstanding.

The Greatest Guitar player who ever lived! Yngwie the GOAT Malmsteen! ❤

Dude is shredding in the background the entire interview. Legend!

Utterly brilliant.

Love it. His passion for the guitar is uncanny.

My favorite Yngwie moments: “Icarus Dream Suite” “Hiroshima Mon Amour” The song “Marching Out” Yngwie hasn’t grown musically in 30+ years, and he’s become sloppy. BUT, I listen to his first 4 albums all the time, and his Vibrato is STILL the best in the business. He’s quite a character, and has given us incredible music. I’ll always appreciate him! “What?! Less isn’t more! MORE IS MORE!!!”

Amazing video. We love you Yngwie, thanks for always being you 🤟🏻
