sellen Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 you could be as cool like thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4__ZyWUsm9w
Versatile Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 No doubt Yngwie is very competent and plays with passion Gets an interesting sound out of his Strat Reminded me heavily of Joe Satch in the later stages To be truthful I got bored at the 2.00 mark I thought he was supposed to have a Swedish accent....

rjay777 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I actually dig that song. For a guy that's pretty much the antithesis of blues, he is capable of being a soulful player when he wants to be.
gypsyseven Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Sorry, but that don´t impresses me much...
stein Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 You assume too much. Actually, if you must know, I can't. But I am pretty sure if I was just that much better, my life would STILL suck. Actually, my life doesn't completely suck. But I am quite sure it wouldn't be any better if I did what he did. And if I WAS able to do what he does, I would definitely for sure learn how to play some blues.
gypsyseven Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 And if I WAS able to do what he does, I would definitely for sure learn how to play some blues. Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bonzoboy Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 The last person I'd want to sound or play like is Malmsteen,If I played like him I'd have to loose all the soul and feeling I put into my playing.I'd rather be slow and soulful than fast and clinically devoid of emotion any day.
Morkolo Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 If I could play like that I would learn Far Beyond The Sun, play with some orchestra wearing skin tight leather and a poofy shirt and never play Blue again... I'm a big Malmsteen fan but that was boring even for me.
manse Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 you could play guitar like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzW8fi8z5C8 Well, I listened to it and thought to myself that of all the "neo-classical / baroque / but with the blues" guys out there, from Richie Blackmore onwards, this clip had the best balance of technique, flash, and feel I have seen in many a year.... I thought it rocked and thanks for posting it.
Shnate McDuanus Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 OK, I'm one of the few that legitimately likes Yngwie. I like that clip. To be fair, I'm technically NOWHERE near as good as him, and I admire his technical skill. But: if I could play like him, I don't see how my life would really be markedly improved. But that's because I've learned to be happy with what I have. And I am happy. Very much so. If you don't learn to be happy with what you have, you won't be happy even when you get what it is you want but don't have.
Duende Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I think he is a great artist and I know the force flows through him :) but my problem with his music is that it is in 'no man's land'..i.e it is trying be greater than rock; yet it is too tacky (and cliche) to be classical - so what is left is an pale imitation - if I want to hear Bach I would rather listen to Bach Like V I feel he plays with an abundance of passion, I just wish he'd do something different Matt
Guest farnsbarns Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Define better. I think it's easy to forget that life is a journey, not a destination. I enjoy listening to the blues greats and learning from them. I enjoy the learning without yearning for the knowledge. I think that has a lot to do with my hippy upbringing.
LarryUK Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I think players like him are naturally talented. I think most of us could practice forever and not play like that.
Dallastx Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I think players like him and Vai are fun to watch. I give them kudos for their work. I just hate guitars that sound like midis and both do it. Rather listen to Eric Johnson or SRV. D
FirstMeasure Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 you could play guitar like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzW8fi8z5C8 That was a lot more soulful than I expected. He usually just blazes, but this had discernible melody lines and some tasty bends and even a whole note or two. Personally I like Ynwies style and his attitude. A lot of peole call him stuck up, I think they're confusing confidence with arrogance as he has never rested on his laurels. He's always putting out new stuff and playing live for however many fans will show up. He's also always smiling, I like that in an entertainer.
