Tedster Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I like Yngwie. He's an awesome player. I could never do what Yngwie does. I admire his chops. But, it's not the first stuff I listen to. There's space in this world for Yngwie, Eric, etc., as well as B.B., etc. If I had to choose between listening to Yngwie or B.B., I'd personally go for the King every time. But, that's me.

Griffinator Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Yngwie has speed, and he has chops. I'll credit him with the fact that in recent years, his arrogance seems to have diminished - some... Yngwie is a terrible songwriter, however, and his unwillingness to work with musicians whom he feels may outshine him onstage limits his ability to really tap his skill for anything more than fingerboard exercises in 4/4. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarzan Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 i appreciate YJM, and i think he has ass kickin' tone too. some shredders don't have tone!!!!yeah his songwriting is a little lame. i actually prefer vinnie moore and others who can write better. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebonn Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 His songwriting may be a little ruff, that's probably why he ended up doing a cover CD (Inspiration) which I think is pretty good. www.blairsdevillestudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel E. Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I thought "Rising Force" was a good record except for the vocal songs. "Marching Out" was ok too. Malmsteen is a one trick pony however, and has basically made the same record over and over again. He's stuck in 1984.

strat0124 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I prefer the southern fried variety of the North American Shredder, like Eric Johnson and Steve Morse. They seem to be more ensemble oriented instead of being the KennyG of guitar. To each his own though.

I don't know if I'd want to accuse anyone of being "the Kenny G of _______". One of the nastiest analogies one can make. I dunno. Is it worse than "the Michael Bolton of guitar"? I remember when I first heard YM. I was definitely floored by the speed. But then, after a few minutes, he was playing so fast all the time that it didn't sound that fast anymore.

jtk Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Yngwie Malmsteen...well get a Metronome, learn the Harmonic Minor Scale, Alternate Picking, Sweep Picking, and surround yourself with Bach and Paganini...remember the Tonality over which he solos is "Static" or it does not go anywhere but "Vamp" in A Minor or whatever. I am not denying his technical ability but to me it is like a hamster on a wheel, or someone who talks a lot and says nothing.

Guitarzan Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 morse and johnson do rock because they write music !! thats what i mean by my preference of vinnie moore over yjm. don't forget warren haynes, that dude freaks me out. as for the classical guitar style, i will say that no matter how many notes and scales yjm or other neo classical players have used i have yet to hear anything that makes chills on my neck like Randy Rhodes solo on ozzy's "revelation mother earth"!!! the reason being, it has drama and movement as opposed to static playing , that is one of my favorite solos. the way that song builds shows that feeling can convey more then plain technical ability. does anyone else like that song? there is something about the way randy played that was way more than notes, he was more of a composer. its music not a sport. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandenberg Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 It's great to watch him from a technical standpoint. But I can't stand his choice of Dio soundalike singers. I like his instrumentals but when the singer shows up I switch the channell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great arrangement, great solo, Max Norman's production/sound was perfect.... Randy put the classical/baroque influence together in a completely novel and original way; it's because of him I got into Vivaldi and Bach well before Yngwie happened. Which was cool, because I had a filter to push Yngwie's stuff through instead of intepreting his take on the baroque thing solely. His solos are probably the best thing for a beginning guitarist to learn, because of the variety of keys, melodies, AND that he mixed time values and tempos in a way that basically no one has done - he had more than just one "gear", and likewise some of his solos feature runs at tempos you won't find elsewhere, which is a cool thing. It's good to see he has a fitting monument...
