Wow, just wow. I’ve always put off really listening to Yngwie because I thought he was another shredder with no feel. This performance proved me wrong, I just watched the entire video in awe. Now I know why he’s one of the greats and I was dead wrong to misjudge him.
Alot of people hate Yngwie because its the cool thing to do. Watch the video of dave navarro and george lynch. Lynch says yngwie is an inspiration and Dave is somewhat shocked. The dudes got talent undeniably.
He will forever stand alone in his place of masterful brilliance. he commands an excitement of power and talent unmatched by anyone, there is only one "Yngwie Malmsteen"
Yngiwie definitely payed his dues, worked very hard to come to near perfection on a God level. He is unsurpassed in so many ways. A true master of the guitar. Every note he plays is infused with taste. His ear is fine tuned. Great musician.
All hail the maestro of shredding and the father of todays best players. Yngwie has been playing since he was 5yrs old and composing by age 13. Crisp clear tones and deadly accurate in playing, you can feel every note, simply a god of strings 🤘
This is the first time i heard Black Star and watched this video. :O I love that feeling when you find something so amazing and mezmerizing for the first time. I just want to hear it again and again and can't wait to listen to other pieces . Feels like exploring your first favourite band as a kid. Except i listened to tons of music already almost daily for at least 16 years and this should not be new to me, but i am happy it is. :) It is great to unknowingly keep some masterpieces for later.
I could listen to him play all day. Absolutely stunning. I've played for 15 years now and the more I learn, the more I understand how far ahead Malmsteen is.
There are great guitarists and then you hear this 👏 absolute perfection 👌. Yngwie Malmsteen played this song flawlessly and made it look easy.... bow to the greatest
My reason for buying my first fender.... When I realized i couldn’t play an E chord yet ... I switched to the blues ... 35 years later, I still have 2 fenders, still love yngwie’s style and amazing talent and I play for the love of music
Such a brilliant song... That presence of the baroque style in each one of his pieces is so fucking beautiful, J.S Bach always will be a part of his pieces!
Much like Niccolo Paganini, Yngwie Malmsteen sold his Soul for his magnificent performances, he is by far the best Guitarist in the world and beyond.🤘🏻
2023 all I can say is thank you Sweden for giving birth to this legend. Much love from Singapore. This man single-handedly made classical and metal music his. I don't see anyone that does this as good as him. Thank you Yngwie and above all 🇸🇪.
That long sustained note he does near the end wails with feelings only heard this from yngwie hendrix and page live playing . It's proof he's much more than a shredder only
I have to say of all the greats, no one has upheld their ability into old age quite like Yngwie. He still plays so smooth, clean, and impressively fast through the years.
wow. wow. i found myself glued to the screen, didn't even blink.. so impressed.. i was always kind of bypassing Yngwie, i thought it is too much non-sense shredding for me.. but this is one of the best performances i've ever seen.
Is that one of the greatest shows of talent you have ever seen or what?! I did music in highschool because of this guy and he never ceases to amaze me, shame i never polished my own talent, now I'm 27 and things aren't looking good!
I really like to see this guy playing it touches the soul, and no doubt he's one of my heroes on guitar, (Yngwie Malmsteen) is, simply wonderful, and may God always enlighten you .
Am an old bass player and did one of the bass rips to audition for a band in New York.....no amps just hitting my strings. Now I'm 55 and I look back at that time If it were not for him...I would never have gotten the spot.....thank you for this video
Ahh, what a melodious piece, simply superb, every I hear this "Ahh" comes out of my mouth as if it's supposed to, it always touches the deepest part of my heart. just too good. THANKS MALMSTEEN.
This kid is unreal.. Was the Strat ever meant to achieve these heights? The answer is a resounding 'YES!' There will never be another Yngwie. Not in several lifetimes. Someone who has delved so far into his instrument it has become a part of him.
Yngwie...You are SO inspiring! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your truly special gift with the world. I heard you quote (in an interview) the great Niccolo Paganini (I'm all Italian-American) "One must feel strongly to make others feel strongly" Well you CERTAINLY have done that!! Bravo!!! Gratzie for making me feel STRONGLY!!!!
One educated Viking that has the chops and many techniques of the masters! It's in his bloodline and I bow to his parents !! Love the man that plays through 45 or more Marshall heads and has the technical ability to build his own shit!! I can hear my mom yelling at me at 12 yrs - " JJ !! get inside and practice those arpeggios or I will haff my way with your bottom!!!"...now at 75 I am making full circle!
I just wanna feel what he's feeling playing that grandure of a musical piece on such a stage with such arrangements. I can't even think of the adrenaline rush going on up there😍🙏
Im rindered paralyzed. My face was like melting off from this phenomenal performance.this man ..... is the epitome of classical heavy metal .literally a mad scientist whos taken the sounds of heaven and hell and created a glorious hybrid . Thank you sir just thank you for existing . Im so thankful to have discovered you .from musician to musician .you have my reverance and respect.
Unlike electric rigs with volume, sustain, and tons of effects, nylon strings leave no room for error. Every Yngwie hater needs to watch this masterful acoustic intro, and then STFU.
“Yngwie Malmsteen is the best neoclassical guitarist in the world” - Yngwie Malmsteen
👍🤗
You are 💯 percent right my friend...
Brilliant.
In the 80’s I was a teenager listening to his solos. Now I am in my 50’s listening to his solos ❤
Same for me too. I appreciate him now more than ever. I am looking forward to seeing him live.. #bucket list.
You have decades on me and I love his stuff
Some say Yngwie is speed and no feeling. My God. Yngwie is ALL feel. The speed is just PASSION. IMHO, best guitarist ever. I love this man. Hats off.
Perfectly stated.
I can’t get enough of Yngwie this guy is a legend.
Anyone else get massive chills when he hits the first high note bend and shreds it?
Always, for the last 15 years
This guy is the final boss of Guitar
This is not just talent it is what hard work looks like!❤️🇸🇪
Only talent wont give you anything but the choice to maybe become a master in any field.
Yngwie's playing, feel and dedication to his craft is beyond absurd
Yngwie is so theatrically Baroque that it gets a bit overwhelming but he's just so badass at whst he does that it just shuts me up.
That never occurred to me before but you’re totally right. It has that Baroque feel to it.
Flawless technique. Pay attention to how relaxed his picking is. Minimal wasted movement. Maestro
Especially with his teeth
Wow, just wow. I’ve always put off really listening to Yngwie because I thought he was another shredder with no feel. This performance proved me wrong, I just watched the entire video in awe. Now I know why he’s one of the greats and I was dead wrong to misjudge him.
I literally was just thinking the same thing
Alot of people hate Yngwie because its the cool thing to do. Watch the video of dave navarro and george lynch. Lynch says yngwie is an inspiration and Dave is somewhat shocked. The dudes got talent undeniably.
He will forever stand alone in his place of masterful brilliance. he commands an excitement of power and talent unmatched by anyone, there is only one "Yngwie Malmsteen"
this vibrato ... from another universe
His right hand technique is so brilliant. As a matter of fact everything about his playing is brilliant.
This must be his top performance of all time. It includes all.❤🇸🇪
Yngiwie definitely payed his dues, worked very hard to come to near perfection on a God level. He is unsurpassed in so many ways. A true master of the guitar. Every note he plays is infused with taste. His ear is fine tuned. Great musician.
One of the greatest guitarist of all time
I'm late to the Yngwie party but now my mind has been BLOWN!
The Godfather of Neo Classical Metal. Period.
Man the sound quality of his guitar live is phenomenal
I found dude two days ago and he's already my favorite guitarist this song lives rent free in my head
This guy's a superior musician.
All hail the maestro of shredding and the father of todays best players. Yngwie has been playing since he was 5yrs old and composing by age 13. Crisp clear tones and deadly accurate in playing, you can feel every note, simply a god of strings 🤘
He deserved a better crowd, for such a performance. If I would have been there, I would have been going crazy.
I have always amazed at how this man plays, he doesn't write songs he creates overtures to the art of 6 string mastery. Oh my fucking god!!
This is the first time i heard Black Star and watched this video. :O I love that feeling when you find something so amazing and mezmerizing for the first time. I just want to hear it again and again and can't wait to listen to other pieces . Feels like exploring your first favourite band as a kid. Except i listened to tons of music already almost daily for at least 16 years and this should not be new to me, but i am happy it is. :) It is great to unknowingly keep some masterpieces for later.
Holy hell that intro was so satisfying!
Once again, the Maestro melts everyone's faces! And that's why I've been a diehard fan since '85!
You just cant fuck with Yngwie. I will argue to my dying breath that he is the GOAT on guitar. Its not just his playing but is showmanship as well.
I know the song over 30 years,and reading your comments made me cry😢❤
I could listen to him play all day. Absolutely stunning. I've played for 15 years now and the more I learn, the more I understand how far ahead Malmsteen is.
There are great guitarists and then you hear this 👏 absolute perfection 👌. Yngwie Malmsteen played this song flawlessly and made it look easy.... bow to the greatest
I love how he mix classic music in his solos. love it
My reason for buying my first fender.... When I realized i couldn’t play an E chord yet ... I switched to the blues ... 35 years later, I still have 2 fenders, still love yngwie’s style and amazing talent and I play for the love of music
Such a brilliant song... That presence of the baroque style in each one of his pieces is so fucking beautiful, J.S Bach always will be a part of his pieces!
The audience is is in awe. I saw him and I did the same. Just felt it through my bones.
How can someone dislike a masterpiece like this one? Yngwie, you are the best!
Much like Niccolo Paganini, Yngwie Malmsteen sold his Soul for his magnificent performances, he is by far the best Guitarist in the world and beyond.🤘🏻
I remember listening to Yngwie back in the mid-80's and 90's ALL the time. This was some good shit.
He’s playing perfect harmonics while doing finger style with a pick, playing arpeggios, and nailing pentatonic notes. That’s a true god.
Power and sadness in electric guitar's part. It's beautiful.
2023 all I can say is thank you Sweden for giving birth to this legend. Much love from Singapore. This man single-handedly made classical and metal music his. I don't see anyone that does this as good as him. Thank you Yngwie and above all 🇸🇪.
Just WOW !!! the moment he departs from the acoustic guitar and begins the solo on electric 🤩
That long sustained note he does near the end wails with feelings only heard this from yngwie hendrix and page live playing . It's proof he's much more than a shredder only
This man is totally in the zone and he rocked it at the end
I have to say of all the greats, no one has upheld their ability into old age quite like Yngwie. He still plays so smooth, clean, and impressively fast through the years.
One of the best performances of Yngwie I've ever seen... 👍
There was Vivaldi,BACH,BEETHOVEN,MOZART now we have MALMSTEEN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⬆️🙋💜👍👍👍👍📣📣✊🏼🙏
This man's ability borders on supernatural!
Not only is he incredible on the electric, but that acoustic guitar playing is beautiful! Perfect kind of buildup to the other portion of Black Star.
4:37 keeps making me tear up and cry even after 1000th time listening
ALLL I CAN SAYYYY IS ""MEMORIES!!"" BLESS EVEVEEYONE WHO KNOWS AND REMEMBERS!!.SOLUDE!!!
Its crazy God gift to us
wow. wow. i found myself glued to the screen, didn't even blink.. so impressed.. i was always kind of bypassing Yngwie, i thought it is too much non-sense shredding for me.. but this is one of the best performances i've ever seen.
damn, this part that starts at 0:44 is soooo beautiful 🥰🥰
He is not just a guitarist best-known, he is an immortal artist in the mankind history like Beethoven & Mozart.
It's incredible to listen and watch this piece of art in these hard times. Thank U m-r Malmsteen!
his ability to also entertain while playing is absolutely insane
I will practice all the days of my life so i can become half as skilled as him, props to you oh guitar god.
Truly a master of his craft.
Is that one of the greatest shows of talent you have ever seen or what?! I did music in highschool because of this guy and he never ceases to amaze me, shame i never polished my own talent, now I'm 27 and things aren't looking good!
It doesn't get any better than this! This is legendary musicianship in any genre! Truly a master performer!
I really like to see this guy playing it touches the soul, and no doubt he's one of my heroes on guitar, (Yngwie Malmsteen) is, simply wonderful, and may God always enlighten you .
Saw him live in 1985 on the Rising Force tour in Pittsburgh. No one played like him back then.
Yngwie malmsteen is a world's greatest composer and he's also the world's greatest guitarist that will ever live
Am an old bass player and did one of the bass rips to audition for a band in New York.....no amps just hitting my strings. Now I'm 55 and I look back at that time
If it were not for him...I would never have gotten the spot.....thank you for this video
Can we all just appreciate the magic that happens at 5:24
Complete and absolute mastery of the instrument
Blown away since I was 14. Love Yngwie. Number one on my list of guitarists, and always will be.
ANYONE IN 2024..I STILL CAN'T MOVE ON WITH THIS MASTERPIECE ❤🎉
Ahh, what a melodious piece, simply superb, every I hear this "Ahh" comes out of my mouth as if it's supposed to, it always touches the deepest part of my heart. just too good. THANKS MALMSTEEN.
This kid is unreal.. Was the Strat ever meant to achieve these heights? The answer is a resounding 'YES!' There will never be another Yngwie. Not in several lifetimes. Someone who has delved so far into his instrument it has become a part of him.
Absolutely Incredible, Thank you Sir for years of musical enjoyment. This song got me into metal and I am still on that journey after all these years.
Yngwie is the hero we all needed but we were to bitter and full of sh** to recognize... thank you for the thrill it is to hear you play Yngwie !!!
The word "virtuoso" was created specifically for this artist. Transcendental as well.
Oh what the hell, the guy is just fucking insanely great !
Yngwie is the best guitarist in the world!!!!! From Malaysia🤟
This guitar playing is absolutely SICK... There is nobody better than yngwie malmsteen.
He is the most unique Performer .One that. Can make the guitar Sing!!! Awesome
Yngwie...You are SO inspiring! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your truly special gift with the world. I heard you quote (in an interview) the great Niccolo Paganini (I'm all Italian-American) "One must feel strongly to make others feel strongly" Well you CERTAINLY have done that!! Bravo!!!

Speechless. Amazing performance. Feel, tone, composition, spontaneity, showmanship, and, of course, chops. Thank you Yngwie.
Greatest guitar player of all time....
This is insane no one can beat him 🔥💥🔥
My dear modern Paganini, your art is amazing! Shreddin' nylon strings is beautiful and with tons of feeling! Very sensitive!
Yngwie Malmsteen ------ Most of World “Classical-metal Rock” Guitarist !!!
Ya van como 30 veces que veo el vídeo y no me canso, me encantaa. El arte que hace Yngwie Malmsteen es PERFECTO ❤️
I can still remember the first time I heard that song in 1984... Wow. That changed my life. Everything else is just words.
I just wanna feel what he's feeling playing that grandure of a musical piece on such a stage with such arrangements. I can't even think of the adrenaline rush going on up there😍🙏
Reading a lot of your comments... what I wouldn't give to hear Black Star again for the first time.
Loool I was looking for a Radiohead song and ended up finding a masterpiece
welcome to rock
Both are great
a gifted artist plays divine guitar. I love it. I have never seen such play so devotedly. Thank you Yngwie
This performance of this song is awesome !
He is Undoubtedly the Greatest Guitar Player in Music History and the Greatest of of All Time over all in the Whole World.
I've been listening to him since high school
Im rindered paralyzed. My face was like melting off from this phenomenal performance.this man ..... is the epitome of classical heavy metal .literally a mad scientist whos taken the sounds of heaven and hell and created a glorious hybrid . Thank you sir just thank you for existing . Im so thankful to have discovered you .from musician to musician .you have my reverance and respect.
Unlike electric rigs with volume, sustain, and tons of effects, nylon strings leave no room for error.
Every Yngwie hater needs to watch this masterful acoustic intro, and then STFU.
He always could shred the most beautiful music. That's why he is the best , hands down.
One of the original Guitar Masters, they really should of created a Hollywood style hand imprint walkway "somewhere" for these guys.
This performance remains as one of my FAVORITES!! JUST PERFECT & FLAWLESS
This guy is incredibly talented... Guys like him and Allan Holdsworth don't grow on trees...
