Well, he might say F#, but he is playing the Bm scale. Probably he is using the B harmonic minor scale over the Major Phrygian Chord. Would make sense.
@larsnienbergmusic I also tune my guitar 1/2 step down. Scalloped fretboard might make bending easier, but doesn't lower the risk of breaking the string. A certain note is produced when the string is at a certain tense, so if you want to bend from C# to G, the string is always at the same tense, no matter what tune used.
@RaterisimoCBA I think it helps alot. but correct string height, Eb tuning, and finger placement is also important. You can scallop the 21st fret only if you dont like scallops, some players do this Chris Impelliteri for example.
What strings is he using, I play a strat too but and i love bending but the way yngwie bends haaaaaaahaha im sometimes scared to even attempt to reach such a high not . He must use very thin strings in order to reach that high pitch so clear
FUCK, let me get this straight (If my own guitar test using this video is correct) ... with that bend on 21th fret .. he is getting to a 26th fret equivalent note ??? , not 24.. but 26 ?!
@infectionsman There is no fucking way I can physically pull that off my regular strat , not even If I put 0.08 strings ... This is only possible with a scalloped neck, right ?
How the crappy ass it is possible for yngwie to bend 2 and a 1/2 steps just like that when i use the same gauge strings and the same tremolo and i usually break the higher E after 1 1/2...
@infectionsman Nice ! I didn´t know that some play with only the 21st fret scalloped, but I would mess up all the time, it would feel different and I go there a lot , I should try a scalloped guitar first, the only problem is ... I haven´t seen left handed scalloped strats out there ! haha :)
@GetReide i think he said once that he uses strats with 21 frets cause he wanted to take the full potential out of those before moving on... however, i think he fell in love with them so much that he only got 1 strat with 24 frets and never uses it.
@RaterisimoCBA you wont mess up, on the final fret (21) the space is so small you will only notice the benefits of a scallop. if you have a rosewood board you can do it yourself, all you need is some masking tape to protect the metal frets, a round file and some 400 grit sandpaper. also some dunlop lemon oil. (patience is also needed)
@twilightzone2012 yeah, quite insane control..If you listen to it at the end while not watching it sounds EXACTLY like he just taps the high note on a fret, but he is bending it..How many people can do that?
not only he reaches the F# ,but he make a vibrato on it......no comments....
damn his bend is very in tune
yngwie uses 0.8 and scaloped guitar , makes this wild bends a lil bit easier
Yeah but the control is masterful
and tunes to E flat
he must be using extremely light strings... amazaing sense of pitch
0.08!
And scalloped frets too
Amazing! Yngwie is a musical genius!

also hits this note in priest of the unholy solo.
He uses 42 for Low e and likely 008 for high e or even lighter. So a mixed string set.
@RaterisimoCBA yes, he bends from 21 (C) to 26 (F), he says F# in the video but his guitar is tuned 1/2 step down so it is actually in the key of F
With 0.08 at first string, scalloped frets, jumbo frets and the tuning in Eb... i'm sorry, but this is easy...
@RaterisimoCBA I think it helps alot. but correct string height, Eb tuning, and finger placement is also important. You can scallop the 21st fret only if you dont like scallops, some players do this Chris Impelliteri for example.
GOD!!!!!
Senarnya dari kawat baja mungkin ya. Bngung juga 😄😄
@JacqueShredo you're right. also too much pressure on the strings and they go sharp. playing scallop frets is hell...
the key isn't F#,but Bm (harmonic)...He plays F# mixolydian (V degree of Bharmonic minor)
F# Phrygian Dominant is mode V of B harmonic minor.

technically I can reach F# but my E string can't

Because 24 frets alters the sound of the guitar somewhat, and he wont give up his signature sound.
@infectionsman thats where the scalloped fretboard comes in methinks
@GetReide not even 22, but 21 frets! scalloped fretboard + 008 gauge of strings= amazing string bending.
because he only plays old fender strats - so no 24 frets :P
psh...whatever.... HE IS THE BEST!! hha
he might break the e-string if he does that too often..
just one answer to that my friend :
he's Yngwie J. Malmsteen
Pos suena raro , pero porque es así.
jajajaja is the machine!!!
@twilightzone2012

what kind of tremolo is that?
最高のSoundとplay
hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
The guitar must suffer like hell!
+1 :D
I did that 3 times and broke..PAFF,,,,, : ^ (
@VMP007 And I use as well.
great bending!!
O_o
@RCstrats hehehe
Awesome sound!!
@TRambo55 Well, he probably uses 0.9 or 0.8 so it's not that amazing. Amazing is SRV or Gary Moore. They use really heavy strings and bend a lot.
with 0.08 string gauge plus tuned down half step man you cant press hard on the string at all.. fucker would go out of tune...
if we're all honest with our selves... he's actually quite shit isn't he?
15 years later and still no one seems to agree with you
