Met him at a clinic in the 90’s, pretty calm and friendly, I guess it also comes down to which attitude that is presented towards him. When it comes to working with him he probably expects everyone to be 110% professional at it, but he also liked to party a lot back in the days, maybe he had expectations to the people he worked with in that regard too.

But now he is mellowed a lot and is far from that early persona, - He's actually the Coolest rockstar, I love him not only because of how amazingly great guitar player he is but also because he is very authentic, unapologetic and just being himself having fun like shown in this interview. He's the ultimate rockstar, very talented but true to himself. His personality is strong but If you understand him, he's such a lovable, funny and charismatic person.

Hands down best interviews. The Sting one was sooooo good

This is by far the best Yngwie interview I have ever seen. I was fortunate to be invited to meet him backstage after a small club show in the early 90's. We sat alone and talked guitar and classical music for what seemed like forever but was really about 15 minutes. I told him that I went to college to study music because of his influence and received an education because of him. He told me that it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever said to him. He could not have been more attentive and kind. This interview shows the Yngwie that I met that night. Thank you Rick!

Let’s not forget that this man to this day is doing things few have or can replicate. Great video, 10/10.

He means would improvise and work on riffs and stuff. He's not practising scales or repeatedly playing the same thing to master it. By practicing a guitarist means a specific thing, not just playing what comes to mind but doing the same thing over and over to get better at it much like anything. A good analogy would be painting. Practising would be learning to paint say hands and then just painting hands for months until you master ir. While what Yngwie does is just paint what he wants and that is his practise. I hope that makes sense. Of course he did practice at first. He learnt songs by others, you do that by repeatedly listening to a section and trying to get it and then moving on to the next.

Most of the great guitar masters omit the fact it's not magic but hours and hours of practice for years. The great Aldimeola I think practiced 6-8 hours a day. I think I read somewhere Yngwie practiced more than that. Steve Vai too. Even if you go back to the greatest musician ever, his illustrious highness, Beethoven, it is written in the chronicles that the man was living with his piano - He only really left it to eat and bathroom. As soon as he was done he went back practicing. There is absolutely natural talent both in hands and in the ears. But just like anything, most skills are learned. From early childhood to adulthood continuus practice every day. That's the key.

Well, Rick, you got Yngwie on your podcast. Amazing 😮

I love how much space Rick gives to his guests. This is a 52 minutes video, and I wouldn't be surprised if Rick's total speak time was less than 10 minutes out of that. He definitely knows how to get people at ease and get them to talk. It just flows naturally and never feels forced. Beautifully done!

People relax because they can trust him. He's not asking 'People Magazine' questions and he doesn't divulge confidences or things that slip out...

Can we all just appreciate how knowledgeable Yngwie is in regards to like EVERYTHING? Never expected him to be sooo immersed in not just playing but also recording, production, gear, etc.

I agree 💯 and that type of dedication takes sacrifices that most people don't understand, like calling him a dick. He isn't and wasn't a social media KZread star, he is a rock star, his music speaks for itself and for him.

What an outstanding interview. Loved seeing Yngwie so relaxed and just into it. I could have watched another hour and probably still would want more. Superb job Rick.

🎸🎸Yngwie J Malsteen.🎸🎸 I was and still am a big fan of Yngwie, ever since I heard his album "Rising Force" in 1984. And after the next album "Marching Out", in 1985, I was hooked by his amazing guitar playing style. I was lucky enough to be able, and experience, 10 great live concerts with Yngwie. And because of what a great, musician/composer/performer he was, and still is. Now almost 40 years later.............I still listen to his music. And i follow him on the internet, and social media. Thnx Yngwie for bringing inspiration with your playing style, to many guitarists and fans in the world. ( like me) And i wish you all the best. Tony From The Netherlands.🎸🎸🎸🎸

Some say he's cocky or whatever, but I appreciate his positive attitude and unabashed honestly. He just doesn't sugar coat anything and his opinions are his, and he doesn't expect you to agree. Great interview, Rick.

As a bassist that plays a bit of guitar,I found this fascinating.Coincidentally he mentioned Genesis and I attended a Steve Hackett show a couple of nights ago and I see what he meant.

I've always admired his crazy talent, but not a fan of the style of music. But I could listen to Yngwie tell stories all day. What a great interview!

❤❤❤ ABSOLUTELY THE BEST YNGWIE INTERVIEW EVER. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THIS. MY 91 YEAR OLD DAD LOVED YNGWIE 'S PLAYING. MY DAD PASSED ON AUGUST 31,2023😢.

This is such a great interview

I've been following Yngwie since I was 12, which is a million years ago at this point. This is the best interview with him I've ever seen and heard. He was so so articulate and focused and willing to share. It's stunning to hear him discuss topics that he almost never addresses. You've elevated yourself to a historian and documenting these conversations helps all musicians, but also, general lovers of music. This is truly, as the phrase goes, God's work. We are better the next time we touch our instrument from these conversations. It's intensely challenging to not inflect an opinion in a conversation with someone as formidable as Yngwie, yet, you as an actual peer, we're able to listen and ask the right questions. That is a remarkable skill. Thank you Rick, and thank you Yngwie. Also, Rising force is the best guitar album, not recorded by Allan Holdsworth, of the 80s. Change my mind.

Marching Out is the best IMO. In fact when I went to see him and get an autograph about 5 years ago, EVERYBODY in line was getting some Marching out thing signed, vinyl, CD, the Wolf Marshal transcription book, etc. So I know I am not alone. Trilogy was second best perhaps but Marching Out was “scary” to us guitar players, because it was full “Band” music, not just guitar soloing.

@@RicardoMarlowFlamenco Yeah "Marching Out" is one of the very best guitar records out. Jeff Scott Soto really fit the music. I prefer Yngwie before "Odyssey" after that i stopped buying his records but kept in touch with his work.

Yngwie is quite intelligent and in this interview also showed that he is humble and a master at his craft. As a guitarist myself, I appreciated this interview and listening to him explain how his career got started and the development of his gear.

I’m glad you did this interview I never thought he got the respect he was due… he is a great guitarist with monstrous talent. Period. his playing stands up in whatever era you want to compare it to. His music, the melting of European music with African American music, will stand the test of time. Period. Great interview!

That is the best Yngwie interview ever - how did you pull that off Rick ? 😀 I have also never seen him so down to earth and engaging in the interview as in this one. Cheers to both of you.

If you haven’t already, watch That Pedal Show interview with Noel Gallagher - another musician that can be abrasive. He just comes across so well… enthusiastic, conversational and happy to talk about his art. Something about a great interviewer can really bring out the best in even the most difficult.

best interview I've seen of him in my life!! I'm with his music since Marching out and what can I say ... I dont understand most of the guitartechspeak but he seems to feel so comfy with you and so he told stories with joy, passion and a smile. Congrats, Rick .. I think it was your way of hosting an open interview with open questions, serious questions and no fix script. Man I miss the era of Yngwie between "MarchingOut" and "Attack!" ... Trilogy, Odyssey, Ecplise, Fire+Ice, Seventh sign, Magnum opus, Alchemy had such great sound and songwriting. I really miss that. If I had one wish free to Yngwie, it would be a rerecording of "war to end all wars" in the studio mix sound of "Seventh sign" :-)

I've read and watched interviews with Yngwie for years , his understanding of the instrument and sound is truly amazing. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea , but you can't deny his ability or understanding of what he does . Great interview .

People can say wherever about him, but his dedication and obsession to perfection puts him among the guitar gods for eternity.

I'm not a huge Malmsteen fan, but Rising Force was a seminal album for me and I saw him on that tour. He played as advertised, it was incredible to see in person. By far the best interview I've ever seen of him. He can be an absolute train wreck, but comes off as a quite pleasant guy who you'd love to have a beer with.

Why do I keep coming back to this interview?? Never knew a thing about him other than knowing how fast he played but I guess you can't judge a book by its cover. Very informative and great interview. I'll be back...

I love Yngwie. Such a unique players. This is one of the most important guitar players of our time in my opinion. He paved the way for so many other players.

Rick, please keep doing these interviews. Nobody does them better, because finally we have a musician asking the questions. I love how you ask him one simple word that so many interviews leave out.... "Why?" Great job!

Great interview,Rick. 1)The guy always says his family is the reason he has musicality. 2)Always says good things about other musicians even when they have nothing to do with his story 3)he call Tosin "friend" when Abasi is litterally a huge fan of Malmsteen as Govan is. 4)He is always so effortless polite ("can I say this?" 😅) 5)He created a new way to play the guitar 6)He talk about an unknow band called "Sweet" and reffers to them like a great band 7)Does not make it difficult to understand his method like other guitarists just to be perceived like an impossible achievement 9)Admitts to being surprised that he sold out concerts and being in the charts. 10)Loves Holdworth 😂 Seriously ¿why the hate? ,I don't listen to him anymore but has a place in my guitar arsenal and love for music. I think I'm going to listen Rising force and play over his records til the end of the weekend. Such a legend ❤ Edit: I know Sweet is not an underground band. Don't try to be the bands history know-all. You get the point. That's why people hate youtube pedant musicians or critics. A lot of good things but you stick to that. STFU.

Numerous years ago he was the best guitarist but I preferred the music vocals of Metallica and others.

This was one of, if not The most heartwarming rock n roll interview I've watched. I never really knew Yngwie despite being aware of him and his music since the 80s. So perfect that he should be interviewed by Rick Beato, who has an understanding and appreciation for all of those music theory bits that he drops. And everything gear-wise as well, of course. A match made in heaven. Wish there was more like this.

Brilliant interview, especially love his G3-stuff with Satriani & Vai.

By far my favorite Yngwie interview! This is phenomenal!!! I absolutely loved hearing him talk about his origins, being so relaxed and forthcoming. This is a guitarist/music lovers dream, to see this side of him. Thank you so much for giving the world this gift! I absolutely love him as a guitarist.

Bravo! This is probably THE BEST Yngwie interview ever, Rick. Great job, sir!

Having a vague familiarity of Yngwie's mastery of guitar, I can appreciate his craft all the more now that it's more* intelligible to me. Having invited him down to earth - from some exclusive place high upon the mountain, above the clouds - to hear from the person. Couldnt have been more candid. Great interview. Inspired to challenge myself to brush up on fundamentals I should have learned way back.

Great stuff. Rick Beato, please walk a few extra miles to get an interview like that with Ritchie Blackmore 🙏

I've never seen this side of Yngwie.. ever. I was NOT expecting it to go like that 😂 Great interview! It was like listening to a child tell you about his favorite toys or superheros! Man, I've been waiting for an interview like this with Yngwie for 15+ years! Bravo, Rick!

You know Rick, undoubtedly, everyone you interview has 1 thing in common. They unequivocally, wholeheartedly, love everything about music and what it has done for them. JUST LIKE YOU! Love it Rick👍

Thank you Rick for this awesome interview with the master....

I love Yngwie. It’s so funny how everytime you hear him talking or doing interviews, he’s always jingling and jangling with all the jewelry he wears. It’s kind of a signature of his. He’s just a cool cat.

My first trip out to LA was to go hangout at the Roxy in "82" I was 18 and the band was Steeler, I remember sitting at the booth and talking and everytime the guitar player would go into a solo my head would automatically turn and watch this guy I'd never heard of running across the stage throwing his guitar in the air and catching it without missing a note, incredible solos unlike I'd ever heard before, I found out his name was Yngwie Malmsteen so when the first Alcatraz record came out I bought a copy, ended up opening for Yngwie in 1992 at a club in Santa Ana CA. Called bananas, watched him sound check and he played nothing but blues, it was fantastic, tge greatest guitar player I've ever seen.

OMG this is not a simply interiview...it's an interview to a LIVING LEGEND OF GUITAR!!
