Genial!!! Hay que seguirlo a Malmsteen.. No es facil... Genial!!!
a real full cover👍
3:37 sweep ? Blackmore did first that
The best cover i ever seen its simply perfect, insane work great feeling vibes you nailed it, cesario filho is great too to produce insane yngwie s cover, but those one you re doing here are the best i thinks for those two songs, cheers from france 😉👍👍👍
That's great to hear. Merci bcp
Crazy, awesome, IMPRESSIVEEEEE
Bravo! Excellent rendition of the great YJM! And on a standard flat fretboard Strat at that. Well done!
RIP John Sykes (1969-2025) The Uncrowned King!!
One of the best deep purple songs ever
❤🫶👑🎸🙏
Looks like a fun song to play on guitar. Looks challenging too, especially for the level I am at present 😅😅😅
05:18 best scene
One of the best riffs
Is it just me or is there a touch of chorus on the rhythm in I am a Viking? Your tone is utterly incredible, maybe even better than the man himself…
Thank you. It could be one of two things. I usually mix in slight bit of flanger, maybe 5-6% mixed into the final amp tone. Or it may actually be the pitch itself because at the end of Viking, Yngwie's original guitar goes ever so slightly out of tune on the low E, during the final riff section. I tried to match that pitch drop, but its far from perfect.
OMG my favorite song Peter you nailed his playing techniques!
This is wizardry.
This is how I find out that John Sykes has passed 😢
No way!!! Turning the synth lines at the start into a tapping section was just 😙🤌 This is some beautiful playing.
how long did it take to reach that flawless right hand technique? You play it so effortless.
Well, the more you play, the better you get ...
Your covers are exceptional. It's a delight to enjoy the guitar part of those songs with all the details. Good job on the tone also and the playing really pays tribute to the original one. Your video sent me back years ago in my teenage room, thank you : )
You're welcome sir
I can’t begin to understand the amount of practice and dedication this must have taken…I applaud 👏 you good sir..I hope this inspires young people through out the world 🌏
Thanks. Just to be clear, I never pratice. I orefer to just play.
RIP John. You will be missed
This is a great rendition-- played really well. 🤘
R.I.P. John. Thanks for all the music you gave Us.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Oh no man, not John!
you've nailed it right on man
Hey bud. Terrible day. I decided to share your video in my fb instead of my own, because, well, it's fekkin perfect. Thanks for sharing this video
You're very welcome. Hope your day is better now mate
Very cool!
What a guitar playing you have, so is the tone.
Fortin Suits have ti much hype... Please use Friedman and engl!!
Now, far beyond the sun + icarus dream suite op4 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Incredible, marvelous, great!!!
As close to perfect as can be for the most perfect shredding masterpiece of a song! The tone is so great as well. Masterful!
Holy shit man, this song is hard as fuck to play! Perfect execution, congratulations!
Super job
10/10
Great moment listening and watching your cover !
Cool!
What kind of pickups do you use? Great sound!
Thanks. Dimarzio protrack, Fender singles
Wow man, I had this same pickup on my neck pickup and I replaced it to Dimarzio "Fast truck 1" coz it was too faty... I use on my bridge pickup - Dimarzio "Super distortion". @ClassicSoloSpotlight
Great man!
Every time i listen to first 2 album yngwie i cannot fathom how in the fuck did he come up with this shit by himself.
Perfeck❤
Quelle claque !!
I think we all should stop and be grateful we were all alive during the era of Malmsteen.
Probably the absolte best covers I've ever seen of Malmsteen.
Epic!
There was a guy with really great lessons for malmsteen, also played slow with tabs. Plays Music man and a Squire. Absolutely perfect lessons. Maybe too good. His channel seem to have disappeard this week or maybe someone blocked him ? Also removed in my history. I am very pro intellectual freedom. Anyway, maybe you know his name ? I wanted to contact him for a private solo instruction last week. Damn. If you have his contact, pls let me know. Thx. Hopefully your channel stays up cuz it's also very good. You always came second in the search result. Now you many times don't even appear. instead I see players half as good as you. wtf
Great job. I’m working on the stranger currently
Amazing cover man! One of my favourites off the Marching Out album. Do you write out your transcriptions and would you charge for them if you decided to release them? I would pay for a good transcription of this song.. I followed along to your cover of Longing for Fire, and I was able to learn the solo from slowing down that video. But Yngwie has so much nuance to his playing, and paired with his (and your) incredible speed; it's a little out of my reach trying to learn from eyes and ears only. Thanks! - Kamron
Sure. Links at the end of the video
@ClassicSoloSpotlight Right on thanks! Should have watched till the end haha, I was checking your description (watched the video many times before)
Just wow 🤯 inspiring 👏
Excellent! Sykes was a beast. His bends were amazing. He made it look effertless. Bravo, amazing cover.
