I'm going to attempt to learn to play a couple Yngwie songs again off his Marching Out album. I have to work tomorrow and can't have my fingers randomly breaking at the joints because of trying to play this stuff. I'm 42, I'm not a young man anymore.

 

[SpiderWars]

Let the Viking blood flow thru your veins.

 

[Techdeth]

Great album. You can do it

 

[romanianreaper]

If you don't wear leather pants and kick picks, I'll lose all respect for you. Do the songs right.

By the way, you still have that Ferrari?

PIRATE SHIRT!

Get some coke

Don't push your hands to hard, you will regret it.

I have found that when attempting to accurately mimic Yngwie's style and technique...It helps tremendously if you constantly criticize (preferably out loud) other players that are vastly more commercially successful that he ever was. More specifically, accuse other lead practitioners of always playing "out of tune" and having "poor note selection"....you get the idea. Oh, and yes...It does also help if you gain some weight and dress like a European pirate with Magnum PI aviator style sunglasses from 1984. Just some thoughts,

Hold my beer....

Seriously, warm up and stretch those finger joints!
Remember that time he tore a tendon?

 

[CrystalSky]

Godspeed!

I love that video. It reminds me of the John Petrucci Psycho Exercises in the rig rundown where he says his guitar tech Yngwie Malmsteen, he found rotting in a ditch. He said he had a career once but I don't believe a word that comes out of his fat mouth

 

[griff10672]

Get some coke

classic or original ?

 

[JackBootedThug]

Anybody who talks about playing yjm is light years ahead of me.

Oh I was talking about the rhythm parts. I can play his solos cleanly at maybe HALF his speed...and that's on a good day. I have the left hand speed, and the right hand speed, but never the twain shall meet because I never really practiced any hand synchronization drills in my formative years

 

[Chris6870]

Best album of his, anyway.

 

[Strandberg Junkie]

I love that video.

Another classic.

 

[jaxadam]

 

[Jig]

I love that one..

 

[Fiesta Red]

Get some coke

And some donuts

 

[psychodave]

What songs?

The pedal point lick in the beginning of the solo in I'll see the light tonight is always good to learn.

Try learning both octaves of the main riff in I am a Viking.
