I read this on Youtube, about PG's song, technical difficulties.

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
