pippy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Watcha think? I think if I had heard it without seeing it I'd have had absolutely no hesitation in saying it was Malmsteen playing. I'm very far from being terribly knowledgeable about YM's oevre so forgive my ignorance but that sounded exactly 'right' to my ears. I actually like the sheer pomposity of the whole thing and it almost goes without saying that the dexterity required to pull that off is stunning. P.

He actually played with feeling and not overly shredding to wank off, so to speak, but skillfully played the piece like Yngwie would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My wife confirms he is a he. I wouldn't dare contradict her. In terms of the music, yes, he seems to have nailed the cold, unfeeling, clinical sound of (s)malmstein just perfectly :P . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Not many people can do Yngwie. He's got his own style. One of the things I love about him (Yngwie) is that he doesn't just stand there like a geek and play, he's very acrobatic onstage. Playing those licks and running around like that is very hard to pull off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 He's nowhere as fluent as Yngwie. His timing's off. I'm not saying he's crap. Just not as fluent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly he himself thinks there's considerable room for improvement. Personally I'd not know where to start trying to offer advice to him but then, as I said earlier, I'm no expert where YM is concerned. And in some ways I wish I had his number of years left in which I could refine my skills further....... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could achieve this level if you spent the time etc. But do you not think that some people can just do it? I've seen players that can play great within a few months. I'll never be able do it. It's a about hand/eye/brain co-ordination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 ...do you not think that some people can just do it? I've seen players that can play great within a few months. I'll never be able do it. It's a about hand/eye/brain co-ordination. Oh, I'm sure there are those so gifted, lashurst, although like yourself I wouldn't count myself amongst their number... Even with a month of Sundays to practice I strongly doubt I could ever achieve that level of dexterity coupled with speed but as I don't ever wish to play that style of music the question is purely academic. I'm more in the PG / BB King sector of the speedometer. Fewer notes chosen with much more feeling. But then I come from the dim-and-distant past when 'Flashy' meant setting the guitar on fire... I know this will make me sound an Old Grouch but I'd like to hear him play the same piece with 'clean' settings. Distortion (as, happily, I know well !) can cover a multitude of sins. I suspect he'd still sound good, though. Echoing what Farns said slightly earlier, If I DID have that level of skill then I'd be doing something else with it. In my case it would almost certainly be making a genuine effort to learn Gypsy-Jazz as opposed to just listening to it. It gets more play-time hereabouts than any other genre (Tchavolo Schmidt is on as I type) and it's the one form of music that, I think, in achieving a competent level of playing would give me the greatest pleasure. But I'd take nothing away from the guy. I will happily bow to the wisdom of those more familiar with YM's music and their appraisal of the performance in question, but I still think he did very well indeed. P.

Cú Chulainn Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 It kinda' sounds like Yng, but like someone said, not as fluid. Sounds kinda' muffled too. he seems to have nailed the cold, unfeeling, clinical sound of (s)malmstein just perfectly :P . oh, you're one of those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
