    I like Yngwie's rhythm playing as much as his leads. I feel like he did his best songwriting on Marching Out, Trilogy, Fire and Ice and Odyssey. Thank you for breaking down all those great riffs. Especially Dreaming, which is a beautiful song. Absolute magic.

    Really love your videos, David, keep 'em coming. Never been a fan of Yngwie myself, actually I only started liking his stuff recently, but anyone who's practised the guitar has to realise he's one of the best. Ok, he repeats himself, he likes playing fast, a lot, etc, etc, but, come on, he created a school of his own, with so many guys being inspired by him. And he's still flawless on the instrument. He deserves respect.

      And eddie new it. Ed dodged yjm foerever when they were at the same functions/events. Ed finally met up with someone who was light years away from him as eric clapton found out in 66 when jimi hendrix invaded england. I love ed, he had his thing but on a serious guitar level yjm raised the bar and and blossomed a rock neo classical shred genre that continues to this day. No yngwie no shred heros you know and love today. Ed was a technique...yngwie was a genre. Thank god for both!!!

    Rising Force was the first Yngwie cassette I bought. I listened to it over and over trying (and failing) to learn some of the songs. This one holds a special place for me and instantly takes me back to a time long ago when I was a teenager sitting in my room with my Charvel guitar. My parents were still alive…music can be so powerful in its ability to transport you back in time and recall memories.

    His marshall set up back in the day was very strange, but his tone largely came from his old Dod pedal, 8s strings and old dimarzio hs3 pickups. It's extremely hard to replicate. Great playing on your video here. Very cool.

    Great album indeed. Trilogy was Yngwie's first blossom into melodic songs, yet there is that rawness to it that remains gripping as you say. Arguably, and aside from his first album which is a category in itself, end even though both albums with Joe Lynn were really good, from a musical pov, I think "Fire and Ice" may well be his best album ever, great songs, great melodies, and possibly his best band lineup. The downhill slide started after that, slowly at first, and then it just snowballed, to a point now where all he does is record the same old covers in his living room and calls that an album. As a fan for 40 years, sadly I find he has done nothing even vaguely exciting for almost 20 years...

Brilliant playing of Dreaming by the way. Live in Leningrad is the best live album I've heard any musician put out sound-wise. Yngwie was 100% in the zone for that one.

    Great lesson(s) on Yngwie, Ive been a huge fan since the Steeler album. I agree about Trilogy being a fav album, but those first 3 albums are just steller. I go through a phase of relearning a bunch of Yngwie songs every 2-3 years, it always starts with reacquainting myself with Trilogy Suite (every damn time I mix up the arraignment). Yngwies tone has primarily been based around Marshall Plexi 5o watt heads with a DOD 308 pedal/preamp pushing the front from a stock Strat, later the SD/dimarzio pickups would be added.
    Show idea ---> perhaps you could focus on a single album and pick your way through each track finding the most interesting ideas chord/melody/technique etc.

    what do you think of the intro part of "Crystal Ball" ? Not really any chords there (I think), but must be one of the best intro parts of any song written IMO ! Btw. if you do another Yngwie video, would be nice to hear you try play it (maybe with some backing synth/beat)!
