[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks very much. I think Rising Force is the guitar bible.
Greetings from London 🎸🎸

[@garvalf645]

@@MaestroStevieJ86 Rising Force is one of my all time favorite albums. I've listened to it countless times, and I think you're playing it perfectly!

[@nickyslicky]

You hit that note for note with your own style… so awesome man keep the Yngwie comin!!!

A shredder is never early or late but shreds when he wants to.

[@gmscot]

Hi, love your channel, do you have transcriptions of Malmsteens stuff that are for sale?

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Hi, thank you. The only tabs I have for sale are my Paganini book. I thought of selling Malmsteen tabs but that’s a pretty murky area with copyright so I decided not to.
I’m currently writing a neoclassical chop book and video lessons that I’ll put out in a few months or so 👌

[@mikef3855]

This was my first song that I became aware of Yngwie. Incredible job!

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks so much, the same for me 🤘

[@jandvadams]

Another fantastic job. You really have captured Yngwie's tone.

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🎸🎸

Thanks buddy 🤘

[@annaochmarcus]

[@Yourweakminds]

When I was a kid I bought a yngwie tab book. Chap told me to come back when I could play it. Haven’t returned yet!

[@robertanderson1043]

Most of those old tab books were pretty bad. I'd say I didn't really understand Yngwie's techniques until Troy Grady started unlocking it for me.

[@mass2048]

That's clean man, well done

[@williamgamez2399]

Doing a great job. Like to hear one of your solos, just to hear your style/phrasing etc...

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

If you check out my arrangements of Paganini you’ll hear some more of my own style.
I’m working on an EP at the moment of my own material.
I have my own style of playing, but I am a huge Yngwie fan and enjoy playing his stuff 👌

Keep them coming. How about Baroque and Roll? :D

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks a lot! I’m definitely going to do baroque and roll at some point 🤘

[@rishabhbose29]

A lot of folks can shred and sweep and try to copy Yngwie. But what make you different from them is that your Vibrato and bends are pitch fucking perfect.
Shredding a 100 notes is easier than hittin that beautful Vibrato or a Bend

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Hell yeah! Thanks so much man, you’re right 🤘🤘

[@medardoarce9361]

Great guitar playing man! Oh yeah!
My fav solos from the maestro: Marching Out, Demon Driver
My fav albums:
Trilogy, Odyssey, Inspiration, Attack!!
Cheers

[@JohnLloydDavis]

Really well played Steve. Did you swap out the whole pickguard on the Charvel to have the single coils? I had a green one that I was going to do it to but ended up selling it instead.

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks John. Yes, I swapped out the whole pickguard.
There is a company on eBay in the uk that make custom make any pickguard.
But I guess you could use a strat one and cut a bit out for the floyd

[@markusaurelius777]

How long did it take you to get THIS GOOD???? :O
That was KILLER !!!

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks a lot! I’ve played for 22 years now 🙂

[@inkognito6969]

👌

[@durhamviking1809]

Amazing! Can i ask you at 1:26 on that run do you economy pick to get from the b string to the e string before going back down? Im trying it but its confusing if i should use alternate or work on economy! Thanks!

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Cheers 🤘
Yes, I use economy picking for that kind of run.
For the most part I economy pick with a bit of alternate picking thrown in

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

I used alternate picking for nearly two decades, but in the last few years I’ve really embraced economy picking

[@justinelliott7136]

Superbly played! and also love what you've done to your Charvel, I'm guessing Seymour YJM's loaded pickguard or maybe HS3's ?

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thank you, and they are Bare Knuckle pickups 👌

[@mohamedazharzailan3912]

Is it the trilogy suite?

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

@@mohamedazharzailan3912 no, Irish Tours. I’ve not tried the trilogy suites, I think they are almost identical to Irish tours but a bit more output

[@Truthinshredding1]

I wonder what scalloping would do to the tone?

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

I actually scalloped my white USA strat this weekend! I did it myself which was scary, I just playing it now for the first time.
I might buy some cheap necks to practice some more on, and may well scallop this Charvel.
I’m scared though because it’s an incredible guitar 😅

[@benaminyang]

Dude - I couldn't figure it out, why it looks (literally) like ur playing in slow mo, but it must be economy of motion. You came up in my feed first time today with another vid, a tune I didn't know and, it looked SLOW, like slow shredding. Lol. Then I saw Black star, which I , and everyone knows note-for-note and jumped to watch. You STILL look like (a lot of the time) you're playing 1/2 speed. It's kind of freaking me out. Well done. You killed killed this, but it looks SO effortless its kinda weird :)

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Thanks a lot. I like the idea that it looks really effortless.
I’ve worked on that tbh, I don’t like watching players who really flap their picking hands about.
So you’re correct, it is economy of motion 🤘

[@Chillnote]

Do you prefer fender necks or charvel necks? Great playing!

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Charvel for sure, they are perfect. Fender necks are too skinny at the nut for my likening.

[@1banez]

Any reason why you played the lower harmony on the main theme?

[@tonymacaroni6831]

You play/shred malmsteen well dude ive got to practice my scandi malmsteen style can play Europe norum/Kee Marcello pentatonics reasonably well but struggle with this stuff but you do it really well

[@eyeguyeyeguy1]

Awesome. Are you sure your not the guy in Spinal Tap? Ha

[@NeilYockey]

Are you in touch with Yngwie? Surely he would approve.

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

I don’t think he does approve of others playing his music unfortunately 😕 but I do because he is one of my hero’s and I love his music

[@JamiePerry-kk1kc]

crazy how much easier these songs are when you play em correctly, not easy but much more "ergonomic". I notice you like to keep everything on the same string as much as possible, same as yngwie. it'd be funny to watch you take a stab at playing this with some of the fingerings I see online, I bet you'd still pull it off!

[@MaestroStevieJ86]

Ha ha, the old transcriptions are a work of fiction 😂
I worked out a long time ago that he was economy picking because there’s no way the patterns and fingerings would work down up.
And even on vhs you could see the way he picked do effortlessly was never alternate picking. Just watch John Petrucci or Steve Morse, so much more movement.
It’s a shame I never realised there would be a big movement into working out his technique because I could have beat the competition to it with more foresight 😫😂
