It's all about that blues scale man.

I mean, Into the Void is my favorite song.

did you write it down?
u should write it down.

Well even tho i don't like Yngwie at all (my favourite virtuoso is Vai ), the guitar is said to be very comfortable and overly good... so congrats, Steve

I dont understand why you would coume to a forum concerned solely with devices that make noise and shit allover it. I dont really even understand why youre choosing to post here in the first place. It doesnt even look like you have any interest in fuzz at all. Whatever...it really baffles me when i meet people over the age of 15 who actually listen to this shrapnel records bullshit. The reason i picked up a guitar was to convey emotion and to see the way it changes the people who hear it...the only thing an asshole like yngwe conveys is vanity. I guess im just not down with that...its kindof like driving a ferrari to me. Its almost pathetic really...I have an aunt whos devoted her whole life to the study of classical violin to the point where shes been awarded a doctorate..performed allover the world...spent countless years and countless thousands of dollars to get to where she is...could tell you anything you needed to know about music theory and transpose onto any instrument there is...but she simply cannot write her own music. Devoting that much time to the technical aspect of the instrument retarded any artistic aspirations she had in the beginning and shes now reduced to being the pen instead of the writer. What point is there in that? Yngwie is the same way. Sure he can whip you up something complicated, but what about something evocative? Thats something hes never done. Am i trying to say that being technically accomplished is fundementally opposed to being emotionally articulate? Not at all....ask steeve brooks of torche. Personally though, I really couldnt give a shit less how good i am at guitar as long as i can get my point across, and thats why noise is so appealing, ANYONE can compose....there is really little to no technical learning curve...its something that is almost instinctual from birth. Look at a toddler, do they EVER want to be quiet? The first way we learn to communicate is by making NOISE.....to me christian marclay is more accomplished than that yngwie asshat...and technically all hes doing is dragging a guitar behind a fucking truck...

Wow all the haters here and unfortunately becoming so typical of many forum users today. What does it get you? Maybe you want to be that way, after all the mob rules so more power to you. It's just ugly and sad.

I just wanted to show off the guitar that I just got and discuss my Strat. In other forum topics I just talk about DIY pedals I've built or developing for my own use.

Look I don't care if any of you like Yngwie or not. I don't even care if you like the styles of grunge or nu-metal. I don't care if you like classical violin, blues, classic rock, heavy metal, or neo-classical rock just like I do. But I won't slam your favorites if you mention them in particular, because that is your personal choice what to like regardless if I privately may not like that particular style of music or the celebrity doing it. It's not my duty or goal to convince you they are not worthy of your listening or fandom. To each his own and rightly so.

Yeah I'm a member of the Yngwie Malmsteen fan club and I've even hung out with Yngwie (and Rudy Sarzo) on his tour bus in 2004. In personal face to face terms Yngwie is no asshole at all and very kind - so at least I know some of you don't have that in common with him to worry about! Even while tired at 3:30am he was very nice and graceous to me and my wife to have us visit with him, as well as some other 'so-called fans' waiting in a long line outside the bus who were there getting their huge piles of stuff signed just to sell on Ebay. In the press maybe he comes across that way because he just tells it like he sees it while always confident in his own abilities. He is quoted as saying 'some of the guitarists' appearing in guitar magazines "shouldn't be giving lessons, they should be taking lessons" - which is totally true! How many of the nu-metal rock bands even know how to play a solo, at least until recently. Yngwie championed a whole genre of rock music since coming to America in the early 80's, and he was doing his signature style of playing well back in the 70's as a young teenager too.

Yeah and he bases his style on the great classical composers like Bach, Paganni, and Vavaldi - so what? You can't point to any current rock guitarist who doesn't base what he/she does on their own prefered styles of the early blues/rock guitarists who came before him before integrating it into their own? You pretty much base your own style and perferences on a mix of what you liked listening too when you were young. Be proud of what you personally like, but don't hate out of spite what others choose to like instead.

I think it is cool you got to hang with one of your heros, and I think the guitar looks hot.
I will not admit to being into neo-classical very much but I do respect the skill it takes, I just prefer classical without electric guitar... but then I am not the biggest fan of lots of brass either

SPACERITUAL... dude just chill.

I think fuzz could and should fit just fine in neo-classical as well as any other form of electric music. I use fuzz all the time to mimic double bass parts in songs, it does a good job and I don't have to then bring a DB or EUB and try to switch mid song...

there really isn't a lot to discuss about the guitar though...

this could be the greatest troll thread ever...

if it weren't real.

I kinda want to throw a compound radius neck with scalloped upper frets on my toronado but then it wouldn't have the purdy matching headstock

I call "BIG JOKE" on this thread.

Like the guy on The Gear Forum (wait... T.G... oh, P) or The Gear Page or whatever that baits everyone with the Dumble tube vacuum shit.

Good show!

Sure there is... it is a Yngwie strat the IS NOT YELLOW!!!! That in it's self is worth it.

Also FYI Steve, some of us make noise on purpose even when we can play normally It's funny, the better I get as a musician the more I am drawn to extreme sonic chaos Really if you think about it supper fast tech players arn't that removed from sonic chaos... depending on your own point of view...
