Yngwie please do like Ritchie Blackmore and just play the dang guitar. You do it quite well.
I'm surprised there's room for anything or anyone else considering Yngwie's ego.
Hell of a stage presence though...even if it's the same stage moves since the 80's and hair extensions since the 90's.
He still seems to love what he's doing almost as much as he loves himself. That's a lot.
I like the part when he mentioned Brandon.
After Rising Force I just couldnt do Yngwie anymore. Im truly surprised that ego maniac lasted so long. Im not a fan really, but no one can deny his talent.
What impresses me about prodigy players, is that even at a super young age they knew the instrument so fn well. Light years ahead of really good mortal players.
Practice ...yeah yeah yeah. These type of monsters had the touch naturally . Practice only makes you so good, or we'd all be yngwies. To know an instrument that you can just abuse from every angle with precision and break neck speed and accuracy is......more than impressive. Guitar isnt easy. To be able to shred anywhere on the neck in 5 different modes, all while putting on a show and doing guitar tricks. As much as I think hes a douche, Im amazed with his playing every time i watch.
In all due fairness,
Being a great player is one thing.
Having every guitar player wanna be as good as you, has got to go to ones head. Case in point.
I've heard Yngwie play "the blues".Never been a fan of his at all, though I indeed recognize the talent. I'd seriously love to see him do some more subdued blues... BB King, Albert Collins, that kind of stuff. I think that would be interesting...

It's not that interesting. At least not to me.

Love BB King. He was always so gracious when I saw him.Agree. Sounds butchered - that's not quite my blues.
Balls! I'd never seen that, BB was an amazing player. I have a hand signed picture of him on my wall. Also a gentleman and a character, Yngwie certainly shares the latter...
The guy who does those videos is very talented and has a wicked sense of humor.BB is wicked. no question.
That was a cool overdub of him playin Yngwie. Great editing for certain. The editing was impressive on its own. At first I thought he was really playing it.
Awesome

You are an insightful and intelligent chap PelliX.
And, B.B. King could say more with ONE note than Yngwie can with a full album of a Sagan ("Billions and billions") of notes.
