slash_demigod Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I've been listening to Yngwie's stuff, and I must say, he is fucking awesome.I've got a classical background because of piano, and when I saw the electric guitar fused with a neo-classical sound that he made famous, I almost orgasmed.Most of his playing is really just "shredding" where he plays at the speed of light, which means that he leaves out slower and deeper songs. This can get repetitive after a while, and a lot of people tend to brand him as just "wanking" on the guitar but he's still awesome.Check him out if you're into Eddie Van Halen style licks and passages, but expect that classical edge which I personally really love.

SofaKingWhat Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 i think he is great. Yeah liek you said he mostly just shreds his guitar, but has a few goods songs, and is great playing classical riffs.Very under rated guitarist.

Wreckless_Life Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 That classic sounding shit that he does is a copy of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzy Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 (edited) Having said that, yeah, he doesn't compare to Blackmore, that man is awesome! Machine Head is absolutely amazing! Edited November 24, 2004 by Lawzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
