3:18-3:40 is such a beautiful progression. The solo melody behind it is also epic.

About the criticism he gets: Playing with soul has nothing to do with how fast or slow you play, how linear or "melodic" you play your scales. It simply means making the guitar sound like it's alive, can you feel the passion of the player through the sound. And in my opinion Yngwie is the best at this. I've listened to hundreds of guitar players over the years and I've never heard as passionate (soulful) player as Yngwie.

I'd have to say, in some parts of black sun, his speed doesn't add to the feel of the song... If you know what I mean. Have a listen and find parts where he didn't have to do a dozen notes within seconds ... Some parts of the song it sounds like a God wrote the music, in other parts it is just unnecessary... But that's Yngwie and it's his deal and at the end of the day it doesn't really matter too much.

@@DoubtingThomas333 I agree. I'm not saying he's musically the most gifted or thoughtful. He plays often very inappropriately. I'm talking purely about his guitar playing ability and not about composing. He also improvises almost everything so you are guaranteed to have low moments. But for me those low moments doesn't take away from the high moments and I rather listen to someone who play poorly at times but then has amazing peak moments than someone who plays steadily good but never has jaw dropping moments.

If you don't feel it, it's yout lack of musical knowledge! That's why people nowadays don't listen to classic anymore.

Try to remember that he uses a scalloped neck and 6 strings mounted higher than most so he's playing more on the strings without using frets, now thats genius and he makes the beast talk so passionately down to its growl. Malmsteen was my idol in the 80s and im now 60 and still feel all his power, idream one day that the boss will spend a day with me before I kick the bucket!

The KING 🤘

The Best

Can you feel it boys? From his head to his feet this guy is world class

i love yngwie, not only because he's from my country. sometimes a narcisistic persona pays off and contributes to the world (sorry trump not talking about you).

react to his Evil eye when he with alcatrazz or his guitar solo when he with alcatrazz both are nuts lol

He has some crazy sustane. I’m thinking he has one of those tone bars on his bridge. Probably titanium or something.

his fret board is scalloped making it easier to hold notes with a vibrato you can go crazy bending in 4 different ways on 1 fret

More Malmsteen

That High bend in to the little lick. I learned when I was 12 after a friend gave me a tape of Blackstar from the LP. I had to learn that, and it just took off from there. I would love to see yall run some Jason Becker reactions... SUBBED

And he was only 18 when he wrote this song.

In 87 Yngwie was in a car crash that put him in a coma when he woke up his right hand was paralyzed and he had to relearn how to play. Wrap your head around that

Yngwie saw Jimi Hendrix when he was a kid in tv and since then he said he wanted to be a guitarrist

@@GetSidewaysReacts ironically it wasnt the guitar playing it was him burning his guitar lol. He saw the fire and was like hey i wanna do that. Guess i should learn it first. He learned all of deep purples stuff by i think like 10 and then he found BACH because of his mom. He then basically became the yngwie everyone knows by age 16 and was like famous in his hometown im pretty sure. One day he won the shred contest for shrapnel records with mike varney and the rest is basically history. at 20 he was doing world tours lol Im a huge yngwie fan thought id let my knowledge be useful

it is something special on rockers musicians, they never read papers. is insane

Yngwie é fantástico, mas gostaria muito de vê-los reagindo ao GARY MOORE - "The Messiah Will Come Again" ao vivo no Festival de Jazz de Montreux e também a música "Still Got The Blues" ao vivo

One of the greatest to do it.

nice reaction, pls react something of this, Yngwie Malmsteen - Far Beyond The Sun HD, Rusty Cooley - Dominion (HD), Rusty Cooley perfoms Under The Influence for Young Guitar, Dream Theater- The Best of Times

Do Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria

Next far beyond the sun live in leningrad 1989

Held the sustain for almost a minute

More is more 👍

If you guy's haven't heard of her , maybe you have. Check out , Tina S....

He should see the 15-16 year old Tina S.

That’s the challenge with ranking guitar players from different eras. Music and guitar technical skill advanced over the years until it reached its pinnacle in the 1980s with great players like EVH, R Rhoads, Malmsteen, G Lynch, J Becker, and P Gilbert. Jimmy H was great in his day but music was much more primitive in those days. Musically there just is no comparison. By the way, it’s really not that hard to play a basic music melody on guitar with your teeth.

If he thinks this is good , you should have him check out Speed Kills by Michael Angelo Batio, even faster and more technical than Yngwie.
