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"
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 🤘
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
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
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.
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.
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 🇸🇪.
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.
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!
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.
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 .
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.🤘🏻
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.
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
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
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.
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 wrote an amazing song here..I bought this record when it first came out and this song still blows me away. Also, the camera work is outstanding..
I like his music recorded in studio but even better the atmosphere created in live. It's so powerful and also exceptionally "wet", nobody else could copy it.
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!!!!
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😍🙏
Technique meets feel meets classical. 1 of the greatest guitar players & songwriters of all time. I met him in Florida & he was a blast to hang out with

👍🤗
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
I can’t get enough of Yngwie this guy is a legend.
Yngwie's playing, feel and dedication to his craft is beyond absurd
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.
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.
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.
Anyone else get massive chills when he hits the first high note bend and shreds it?
Always, for the last 15 years
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.
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"
His right hand technique is so brilliant. As a matter of fact everything about his playing is brilliant.
The Godfather of Neo Classical Metal. Period.
Once again, the Maestro melts everyone's faces! And that's why I've been a diehard fan since '85!
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 vibrato ... from another universe
Man the sound quality of his guitar live is phenomenal
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
Flawless technique. Pay attention to how relaxed his picking is. Minimal wasted movement. Maestro
Especially with his teeth
I love how he mix classic music in his solos. love it
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

This must be his top performance of all time. It includes all.❤🇸🇪
Holy hell that intro was so satisfying!
I'm late to the Yngwie party but now my mind has been BLOWN!
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.
This man is totally in the zone and he rocked it at the end
Just WOW !!! the moment he departs from the acoustic guitar and begins the solo on electric 🤩
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.
Power and sadness in electric guitar's part. It's beautiful.
It doesn't get any better than this! This is legendary musicianship in any genre! Truly a master performer!
I remember listening to Yngwie back in the mid-80's and 90's ALL the time. This was some good shit.
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 🇸🇪.
This man's ability borders on supernatural!
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.
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!
his ability to also entertain while playing is absolutely insane
He’s playing perfect harmonics while doing finger style with a pick, playing arpeggios, and nailing pentatonic notes. That’s a true god.
It's incredible to listen and watch this piece of art in these hard times. Thank U m-r Malmsteen!
Truly a master of his craft.
This guy is the final boss of Guitar
How can someone dislike a masterpiece like this one? Yngwie, you are the best!
Greatest guitar player of all time....
One of the greatest guitarist of all time
I know the song over 30 years,and reading your comments made me cry😢❤
Blown away since I was 14. Love Yngwie. Number one on my list of guitarists, and always will be.
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 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!!
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.
He is the most unique Performer .One that. Can make the guitar Sing!!! Awesome
This guy's a superior musician.
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.
He deserved a better crowd, for such a performance. If I would have been there, I would have been going crazy.
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!
This man is a freakin BEAST! Living legend.
Speechless. Amazing performance. Feel, tone, composition, spontaneity, showmanship, and, of course, chops. Thank you Yngwie.
I've been listening to him since high school
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 .
The audience is is in awe. I saw him and I did the same. Just felt it through my bones.
I found dude two days ago and he's already my favorite guitarist this song lives rent free in my head
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.🤘🏻
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.
Yngwie is the best guitarist in the world!!!!! From Malaysia🤟
This performance remains as one of my FAVORITES!! JUST PERFECT & FLAWLESS
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.
one of the most beautiful concerts
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
One of the best performances of Yngwie I've ever seen... 👍
This performance of this song is awesome !
a gifted artist plays divine guitar. I love it. I have never seen such play so devotedly. Thank you Yngwie
Yngwie malmsteen is a world's greatest composer and he's also the world's greatest guitarist that will ever live
Yngwie your fantastic !!!!!! Talented !!!! A true gift from God !!!!
My dear modern Paganini, your art is amazing! Shreddin' nylon strings is beautiful and with tons of feeling! Very sensitive!
This guitar playing is absolutely SICK... There is nobody better than yngwie malmsteen.
素敵なギター🎸の音色、繊細の中に激しさが思わされる
Il reste le plus grand guitariste dans mon univers bravo yngwie,je ne m'empêche de t'écouter, longue carrière 🥰
Yngwie defies age. Still as crazy and tasteful as ever. Bless him.
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
Saw him live in 1985 on the Rising Force tour in Pittsburgh. No one played like him back then.
I can still remember the first time I heard that song in 1984... Wow. That changed my life. Everything else is just words.
To see him live ?
What a gift that would be !
Wow !
He's Phenomenal
I will practice all the days of my life so i can become half as skilled as him, props to you oh guitar god.
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.
The best musician alive. I'm not talking about his guitar skills, that's my second favourite thing about him.
He always could shred the most beautiful music. That's why he is the best , hands down.
there is pure brilliance and talent , then you have yngwie , classes above , i am so glad i discovered him years ago , and havent looked back since
Yngwie Malmsteen ------ Most of World “Classical-metal Rock” Guitarist !!!
This game makes goose bumps. I love guitars
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 !!!
Omg he's a freaking beast lord have mercy
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 wrote an amazing song here..I bought this record when it first came out and this song still blows me away. Also, the camera work is outstanding..
I like his music recorded in studio but even better the atmosphere created in live. It's so powerful and also exceptionally "wet", nobody else could copy it.
You are unique Yngwie, there is only one like you in the world!
The Best guitar player😊
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!!!!
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😍🙏
Ya van como 30 veces que veo el vídeo y no me canso, me encantaa. El arte que hace Yngwie Malmsteen es PERFECTO ❤️
He is one of the best , if not the best in the world. So clean there are shredders but he is so fast and so CLEAN! It's mesmerizing....
True Guitar God. He made History; like only few have ever achieved. 🤘❤
Technique meets feel meets classical. 1 of the greatest guitar players & songwriters of all time. I met him in Florida & he was a blast to hang out with
