Yngwie Malmsteen is the Crappiest Guitar Teacher Ever
Nov 13th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Guitar FunYngwie Malmsteen is innovative pioneer of neoclassical hard rock and heavy metal guitar playing. His signature Fender tone, clean fluid technique and emotive vibrato are undeniably impressive, but his skill as a guitar instructor is striking for a different reason. It's appalling. Sometimes I get the impression he is incapable of slowing down. His signature teaching method is shredding though a difficult guitar lick and muttering "there you have it" or something equally useless. Take a look at a few of these so called guitar lessons.
Here he shows us a shredding piece at full speed then at 80% speed (or as he calls it, "slow") so we can follow along.
Here's a lick you can use over a phrygian chord progression...too fast for you to see. Then I'll just blast through a song from my fist album.
Here he speaks incoherently between ripping though licks...very informative!
"And here it is slow" ... yeah right!
Yngwie Malmsteen: great guitar player - bad guitar teacher.

completely agree, the things he does are smooth and pleasant sounding,
but he demonstrates them as though as he is showing off his skill rather than just willing to give it away.
Bastard.
Hello,
What tone settings can I use on my Boss MT-2 to get something like Yngwie Malmsteen's tone on my guitar?
Really great post, enjoyed reading it. Thanks
