Here's something you might not have known. Paul Gilbert wrote the song Viking Kong in the key of A minor so that Yngwie Malmsteen could be a guest soloist on the song. Malmsteen is actually incapable of improvising over anything unless it's in the key of A minor, and as we all know, that in itself can get pretty repetitive. Obviously, if you ever heard the song Viking Kong, it's all Paul. Yngwie didn't own up to the offer, and has denied ever being involved with Paul other than for a photoshoot.




I come to think of it, I have an instructionvideo that he talks about "E phrygian", which definitely is the 5th scale degree of A Aeolian. Pretty funny, huh?

His brain can only think of A minor patterns, now that's what I call lazy biggrin.gif

I don't believe Malmsteen doesn't know any other key except A minor, that doesn't make sense. smile.gif

It means he's having trouble moving the boxes when improvsing. He hasn't bothered to memorize them, that's why I said lazy.

When Yngwie needs to improvise in C, he tunes his guitar a step and a half higher...
Mouahaha!!!

Yngwie is still the king of his genre! Even if it is all in A minor!
All though i'm checking through some yngwie tabs i have I do see a C minor lick here.
But yeah pretty much all the same key from what i'm seeing.
He does use Harmonic minor to! But A...hahaha well actually Ab cause he does tune down a semi tone.

I played about 50 Yngwie's songs in full. I can tell you that he can improvise in any possible key on the guitar. The only repetitive thing is the scales and lick he uses. He's got like 10 or 15 of them and that's all but speaking about the key Yngwie knows it all. He tunes his guitar half step down but that's for a totally differnt reason.

Wow Emir 50 full Yngwie tracks, that's crazy!

Thanks for clearing that up:) I only got a book with some licks not songs. The licks (mostly) just happened to be in that key.
See what you're saying about the same licks/sequences though.

It is true his licks are mostly in E or A harmonic minor and Phrygian dominant or diminished over a 5th dominant chord. Take the first album for example and analyse keys in some tracks. In "Far Beyond The Sun" there are 7 different keys but still true that the licks are almost the same.
