The Guitar Virtuosity of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN... Unique + Dark + SHRED.. YES :)
Yngwie's the Neoclassical Master that "started it ALL" for me, and the the one and only "Pioneer" of the genre/style! There've been many who've "paved the way" for this "Instrumental Prowess" and VIRTUOSITY, such as Rhandy Rhodes, Uli Roth, Michael Schenker, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore etc etc etc... but Yngwie was the 1st to take this "highly technical, and truly unique Virtuoso SHRED style" of playing to the point of "showcasing it's limitless INSTRUMENTAL capabilities", and giving the Electric Guitar a true "Voice... all it's own", one that would end up speaking
all over the world, and that would "spread like wildfire!!!
Yngwie's Virtuosity, is the "Lead Violin" of the Symphony...
his Guitar composition application, exotic scale theory usage,
and mastery of the fingerboard/technique, has spawned billions
of Neoclassical Shredders "all over the world", his scale and
technical picking styles... unique to himself, and so loved
that "legions of players all over the globe attempt to copy
him"...
why? because he is Yngie, the man, the myth, the legendary
Yngwie malmsteen!!!
If you like Viking Metal/Exotic/Arabian(Diminished) Metal,
Musical compositions that "take you places", Egyptonic vibe,
Masterful Guitarwork... from subtle Classical/Fingerstyle
Acoustic atmospheric~to flawless Neoclassical SHREDwork
you owe it to yourself to check out this "Masterpiece"...
Yngwie is the 1st, as explained above, to take it to the
"Instrumental" realm, so he IS in fact the PIONEER of
Neoclassical Fusion Instrumental Shred Guitar Virtuosity :-)
I love playing many of his pieces, and I also play on a
"fully Scalloped fingerboard"... it ROCKS!
Peace to all..
SHRED ON!!!Read full review
