I've got a funny if not humiliating Yngwie story for you. I lived in South Florida for half my life. In 1994, maybe early '95 I was with friends and we were going to go out to a club to watch a show. I had no idea who Yngwie was at the time. We get there, the place is packed. I get a beer and tell my friends I'm going to look for a spot for us all to see the show. There's a table up front and to the side of the stage with only one guy sitting there. He's wearing leather and a poet shirt, so I just sit down and he looks at me. I say: "Hey man, you in the band?". He replies, "What are you drinking?". I had a Guinness. He points to someone and requests that I have another. Then he got up, went on stage and melted my fucking face with his guitar playing. And that was when I met Yngwie Malmsteen.

To me it’s not just the speed, but his incredible note selection.

In a sea of so many gifted guitar players, Malmsteen is one of the few who have their own unmistakingly signature sound.

Back in High School my guitar buddies would always talk about this Ing Vay guy, so one day I went home and tried to look him up having only heard his name. It didn’t go well.

Here's a funny anecdote about Yngwie Malmsteen: in the mid eighties with USA foir Africa and Band Aid releasing charity records, it was Metal legend Ronnie James Dio who decided that the metal community should also get involved resulting in the "Hear N Aid" program and a song called "Stars" The song featured not only the best of eighties metals vocalists but also their most ripping guitar players, which included Malmsteen. Anyway, while the recording of the song's guitar solos was filmed they had interviewed David St. Hubbins of the spoof band Spinal tap and he went "When I heard this Yngwie Malmsteen guy I almost threw my guitar away, I mean what's the use?" Before continuing by saying "I love how he puts the emphasis in the J in his name 'Yngwie J Malmsteen', so you don't confuse him with all the other Yngwie Malmsteens out there." Now back then, Yngwie had a name for being difficult and having a really short fuse and while Hubbins was interviewed, Malmsteen overheard him and people were going "Oh no, this means trouble!" But Malmsteen was a good sport about it and laughed at the joke.

Ah, Yes. The age old question... Who is better, Yngwie Malmsteen or Steve Vai? LoL. They're both legends. One thing that I think sets Yngvie apart from others (in my opinion) is that his style is less blues-based, and more classical music based. When you think of all the greats in hard rock and heavy metal, they're all rooted in the blues. Zeppelin, Sabbath, Purple, Priest, Maiden and even to a certain extent, Metallica. The guitar is very much blues based at its core. But I remember when Yngvie came out (granted I only own 3 of his CDs) he was different because it's classical based guitar.

Another judge got out of his seat to go talk to him, when he looked up and saw Yngwie, he turned around and sat down.

You mentioned Vai. Part of this song has a harmony, and here's Vai playing that with Malmsteen. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hauCmsWCfdSep6w.html

The first time I saw that video I got chills. Such an amazing collab on one of the best instrumental songs around.

Do you want to see and hear presicion and heart on an acoustic guitar? Go for Paco De Lucía.

It is a totally different thing. It's like after hearing Vinnie Appice on drums and then saying do you want to hear a real drummer come home to my place and listen to Dave Weckl They are SO different

Man I love that acoustic riff at the start when the keyboards come in at 2:09

My g...Yngwie SMASHED this performance. The way he slides into that note after the power chords 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥

If i am correct, the original is not this dramatic and yet still so intense.

Suggestion anaalyze THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING by Savatoge its from the same time frame another deep track that meets the standards

Black Star, Far Beyond the Sun and Rising Force were my introductions to Yngwie, and now that you’ve heard Black Star you’ve gotta check out those other 2 eventually too!

I met Yngwie twice in fact a guitar teacher/ friend was his guitar tech on the G3 tour with vai and satch. He is a very cool dude glad I got to experience it.

"Ing-Vey" is one of the greats of all time, kind of like a Chet Adkins of the Strat, but he took heat as a one trick pony - In a way, if you've heard one of his songs, you've heard what all of them sound like. You can pick his guitar playing out instantly on any song. He is a very technical, classically trained guitarist.

He's a killer blues/classic rock player, too...you can hear it everywhere on his albums...but his classical style is his trademark and that's what we want to hear + great songs.

Check out "Trilogy Suite Op: 5" (instrumental) He plays the guitar AND bass parts on the studio version.

My favorite!

seen him live long time back, he's really a guitar hero =)

The first time I heard Yngwie was at High School around 1992 hearing the Trial by fire live album. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was playing guitar for four years already, you know, chords and copied solos. Since that moment on I spent months searching for info about guitar scales. There was no internet at the time.

Good comparison between Vai and Yngwie, you may know now that their paths has been crossed in a band called Alcatraz where Vai started to play (after Vai left Frank Zappa band) when Yngwie left the band for a solo career.

I was already surprised no one had mentioned Alcatrazz,but you did.

One of my closest friends used to be his guitar tech and boy did he tell me some great stories about him on the road! He was inspired by Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple as much as the classical artists. It's a style that Randy Rhoads was onto but Yngwie took it to another planet. Not all his stuff is like this. Check out I'll See the Light Tonight and You Don't Remember I'll Never Forget, which are more traditional rock songs.

Man.. love the reaction.. my first time seeing ygngwie's playing gives the chill

MAESTRO Malmsteen. This is one of the best guitar performances on KZread, all categories.

lol at avoiding "the name" XD . In Scandinavia, the Y's sound like I's and the W's sound like V, so forgetting the rules with interacting letters, Ing-vey will do :P

Jeff Scott Soto's high note in I am a Viking makes me hard.

my first listen my brother had the lp I was blown away.to this day his music stands on it's own as 1 of my favs if all time. I saw the 86 tour 90 92 and a bunch after that.. icarus dream suite is what ur friend shoulda tod u to play. hes insane live and yea he can really fly on his acoustic

I saw Yngwie on his 25th birthday at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. I was standing right up against the stage ten feet away and my mind was blown

I used to see him play just down the street playing with Keel when i was 17 but it was a one off deal... I think he did the show after playing with Alcatrazz...Check him out jamming alongside Graham Bonnet!! AWESOME!!

@Matt Gallagher you are correct! Sorry getting old and losing my memory, but I know he did a one off show with Keel after Steeler and Billy Sheehan was the bass player for Steeler, but was not performing in the one off show that night

Yngwie is a huge inspiration and a legend. You can say whatever about him or his latest albums but he is, undoubtedly, quite a talented guitar player, if not gifted, his ego was larger than life, but that's what happens when you are truly second to none in your generation.

You've tapped into greatness! I haven't researched his guitar training, but I have to think prodigy or virtuoso.

You need to react to Far Beyond the Sun from his 1989 Live in Lenningrad Concert performance.... best ever! He held his guitar out and let me play it during a live performance at the Keswick theater in Pa in front of 2000 people back in 2002.. I was dead center front row the VIP seats.... He was 2 feet in front of me the whole show. Greatest moment of my life.

I saw him open for Iron Maiden in Jacksonville Florida in the mid 80's.It was truly a night to remember .I was at the front of the stage when he walked offstage and came back with 2 ice cold Heineken and tossed one to me and said you are the only on old enough. I looked around and realized everyone else was like 15 to 16 years old.
