*Fun facts: He lives in Florida......and loves cars from Ferrari, that's why the Ferrari logo is on the backside of his guitar...*

What I never understood is how the hell did Yngwie train his mind to memorize all of the notes. Good muscle memory is absolutely top class. This is coming from a guitarist of 16 years.

He doesn't memorize anything, he's improvising. Except for a few main motifs this version is quite different from the studio version. And he understands basic principles of music theory.

@@EricCPOP Which is where the genius lies. I've seen him play this 5 times solo, plus once at Generation Axe with Steve Vai, plus the studio version. Never even close to the same twice. It's like a constant evolution. What has always amazed me about Yngwie is the intricacy. There's no shred. Every note is 100% deliberate. It's pretty amazing. I've known about him and listened since Odyssey came out in 88 or 89 (aging myself). If you have the means, slow him down and you can hear the deliberateness in every in every single touch of the strings.

He said himself that the main melody are the same as the record. But other from that every live performance is never the same because of improv solos. But they always fit in with the main melody so it never sounds off in anyway. Every live performance I've heard so far would work on a record.

Been a huge fan since his days with Steeler and Alkatrazz, to his band Rising force. Yngwie Malmsteen is from Sweden and has been that same guitarist you saw all his life

The most amazing thing about his songs is that they're 99.9% WRITTEN and played as they're written... unlike some solos where you just take arpeggio shapes and licks from top of your heard, he shreds every note as it was written by him... that's the amazing thing.

Finally, the real thing.

This is only scratching the surface of his talent

Absolutely,one of the greatest guitarist to ever grace the stage!!!!

I saw him play live at the Ryman in Nashville 7 years ago. He closed with this song. Everyone in the crowd was waiting for this. I swear to god he threw his guitar at least 20 feet in the air during a shred and caught it, then continued to shred. I will never forget that show.

Mamsteen is a god. I remember when this came out. Changed the entire guitar landscape. I got the guitar tab for that 1st album just so I could look at it knowing I could never play it. I saw him 30 years ago and 2 years ago. Still amazing. I understand why some people don't like his music, but you can't deny his technical skills and legacy

Yngwie - is the the proud grandpa of all modern crazy speed guitar players ) I mean he was the 1st one to invent this neo-classic style on electric guitar and his skills were bananas at the time he appeared on stage. He is still bananas though ) Respect! )

there he is! the man himself! if you watched the ralph macchio movie, "Crossroads", you've envisioned guitar battles between your favorites. Yngwie will always be my top pick vs Anybody.

the young yngwie playing boure , and just playing with his instrument , it´s like out of this world. What a great musician.

I remember back in the 80's (after 1985 that is.. I am not THAT old..) there were 5 gutiarplayers that stood out as major "guitar heros". It was Eddie van Halen, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen. I am still an Yngwie, Eddie and Vai fan! Yngwie had this classical influence in his playing and speed that no one had at the time. This song is from 1984. Good reaction as always guys!!

Just watching this I cannot believe it has been 28 years when I first seen him live.. .. where has the time gone!!

The best quote I've readed. Malmsteen is a guitar God and he will tell you that.

The man the myth the legend YJM is in a class all by him self there are other guitarist but his playing is epic

It’s Yngwie! I saw him open for AC/DC on their Fly On The Wall tour.

Far Beyond the Sun live in Leningrad next!!! One of the best performances he put on in his prime!!!

Listen far beyond the sun!

You are watching the guitar god!!!!!

Oh the 80's and In Yngwie's case the 90s... and 2000's.... just keeping the dream alive. I think he might be the last rock star left on this planet, and If he lives to be 100, he will be back in style again haha :-P

Who and What you witnessed was a Guitar Legend. The man has maintained the same type of musicianship since he first came to the states. He , like me came from Stockholm Sweden. Ive been a fan for 25 years . Still get goosebumps . happy to see you both enjoyed this rendition of Black Star :)

Yngwie Malmsteen is AMAZING! You have to check out Steve Vai - “For the Love of God”. It will blow you away as well! 🤘🎸

It's really hard to describe Yngwie. He was in many bands before making one with his namesake. He doesn't seem to have much use for singers, even though he's had a ton of great ones. A revolving door really. I was 14 when his first record came out and at that time his facility was jaw dropping.

Yngwie Johann is a Legend simply.

Jimmy, Eddie and Yngwie were the three game changers.

Satriani brought instrumental guitar to the masses with radio success. Steve Vai brought complete mastery of the instrument. Even Tom Morello, love him or hate him, brought a completely new approach to leads. Hendrix is the forefather of all these guys and deserves inclusion, as does Beck for his unique mastery.

Yes!!! I love this song, it always gets me!🥰 Love from the Central Valley California

In my day this was called "Bach Rock" because of its classical sound. A lot of people didn't like it, but, being a guitar afficiondo, I couldn't get enough. For more, check out Joe Satriani or Tony Macalpine

He's in the top 5 best guitarists of all time. He's in my top 3.

Tosin Abasi and Guthrie Govan come immediately to mind.

In his prime this man was unreal and untouchable. His name and presence commanded a near godlike respect. I don't blame him for the ego and self destruction. 99% of us would've done the same if not worse if we had his talent. People can match early Yngwei's speed but I'm yet to see someone match his vibrato and feel.

The looks on your faces was the same look I had on mine 30 years ago when I first heard YJM's Rising Force and Marching Out. He is and always will be one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

do not know much about him, BUT that bending & vibrato heavenly -- incredible!!

got to see him live in his prime drunk falling off stage wiped out his mic stand roadie came out to grab it he spun the guitar around the headstock clocked the guy in the head knocked him right out and still managed to do the best cover of all along the watch tower i have ever heard never missed a beat

my friend had the best reaction to him he went to a concert in 86 i asked what was he like he said ..dude his fingers looked like worms going crazy

The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection album came out in 1992. I wore out that freaking CD. Every song is fire. Love your content guys. You are so animated! ✌️🤟

Yngwie=best guitarist ever

He works with some of the best voices in melodic metal as well. Mark Boals, Jeff Scott Soto, Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow), Doogie White (Rainbow), Tim Owens (Judas Priest), Mike Vescera (Loudness), and others.

Awesome guitar player yeah 🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yngwie is probably on of the world's most influential guitarists. Over 20 albums recorded with some of the best vocalists. this song is from yngwie's first solo album from 1984. He is from sweden but moved to the USA in 1983 to join Steeler, then Alcatrazz and has been solo since 1985

He's making love to that guitar. Look at the facial expressions he's making. Did you catch how he was eating it out towards the beginning?

The godfather of the Neo-Classical style.

he was playing it with his teeth, a nod to Hendrix who also did that sometimes

This is basically his music. When he's part of another band there are lyrics and structure, mostly forced on him by other people. When he writes his own stuff he just writes a crazy guitar solo and then records bass tracks behind it. His two main influences are Jimi Hendrix (where he gets the playing with his teeth and behind his back) and classical violinist Niccolo Paganini (where he gets the wild arpeggios). This is the technical level that practicing 8 hours per day for decades will get you.

love the look of confusion on you guys faces through first half of video : )

Until today, I thought I was an ignorant musician......but now I feel a lot better about myself.

“why have i never heard of these guys?” lol 😂

The man is a legend! Insta like!

He is from swedon his origanal backup band were all from swedon maybe some are still now .if u liked that one check out I Am A Viking by Malmsteen live in tokyo 85 (with Jeff Scott Soto on lead Voxals) he is an awesome singer btw.and this song is Fire

malmsteen is the best of all time

Love the band

Yngwie is one of the OG guitar gods, he probably invented all those tricks. ;)

Nobody has mastered the guitar like Yngwie.

This is true metal, long live Malmsteen

In a word, MALMSTEEN!

Yngwie Malmteen is the greatest guitarist ever to have set foot on the earth.

the master !!

I keep hearing "these guys" lol. Yngwie Malmsteen is a solo artist from Sweden. He sometimes calls his band Rising Force but the musicians shuffle around with only Yngwie as the constant.

He is my favourite guitar player

the howling wail at 8:00 is sick

RISING SUN ! RISING SUN ! RISING SUUUUUN!!!

I have almost every album by Yngwie on cd

As Razorfist said " there's a right way to do metal, and a wrong way. Then there's the Ynwie!"

My girl got ads🔥🎯 let's goooo🎯🔥🧊🎯🧊🔥🎯 you already know I watched full baby

The Best❤

He was the first Guitar heroe, He was the first to have sold a purely instrumental album and turned it into millionaire sales thus creating the path for the other guitar heroes of his time

We have a lot of good guitarists in Sweden. I know you like Tommy Johansson too. But we have alot of them. Enjoy!

Go back and check out "I'll see the light tonight" live in 1985.

Master yangwie is one of them who have feel and emotions even a fuckin killer shred

The guitar wirl (around his neck), he invented it. The playing with the teeth thing, he was inspired by Jimi Hendrix.

yes yes power of 80s

He is a GOD!

"Mors Principium Est - Lost in a Starless Aeon" - You won't regret it ;)

Never saw this particular version of Black Star, there’s a longer one. Another amazing guitarist is Joe Satriani. The two are among the greatest,along with Eddie Van Halen,KK Downing and Glen Tipton.

For me, 'black star' which is performed by Yngwie Malmsteen totally special dedication & refering to Jimi Hendrix... As we know, Jimi Hendrix is also the one an influencing Malmsteen's technics in guitar playing... From: Malaysia

This is gonna be a Rocker ride. Say Ing-wee

Check out his song/video Heaven Tonight... It was HUGE on MTV back in the day. BIG radio hit for him.

That wasnt a guitar solo but one of his first of many instrumentals

You are looking at the guy who change guitar for Heavy bands in the '80s. He is the one who put shredding on the map at just 18yrs. old. Every Heavy band to this day shreds and can thank Yngwie for it all. Eddie Van Halen introduced tricks and tapping to the world in 1978 but many of the so called hair bands copied him to some extent but Yngwie inspired the progressive bands like Helloween and Marty Friedman before he joined Megedeth and brought that style to them during their glory days.

Nice

Far beyond the sun

Now do the japanese philharmonic orchestra concert :P

Yngwie Malmsteen is from Sweden originally. His main influences are Bach, Paganini and Jimmy Hendrix. He emerged on the scene as a member of Steeler, Alcatraz and then as a solo artist in the Eighties. He is a virtuoso and a living legend. You should listen to his first several albums. Trilogy and Odyssey contain some of his best songwriting. BTW, the guy is 6' 3" so he's no little guitar punk. Big in stature as he is in legend.

The last part is sound like God coming to earth😜😳
