I've pushed the play button waiting for some "wise punchline" and I then I almost fell off my chair ha ha ha It's about Yngwie's point of view on the popular "less is more" sentense, that are often spelled by some more expirienced musicians...or just those who can't shred To make things clear I do agree with the main meaning of this sentense. I do belive 3 perfectyly choosen notes give more flavour than some ultra fast arpegios but...though I don't like people who Use this sentense as a defending tool for their lacki of skills. I think every one of us can play song with 3 notes per bar melodies and also put some killer speeds if we like. I don't thing it's good when people form "both sides" offend each other and use some very wise sentenses in the bad way... What Do You think?

He created a complete musical style , so he can easily crap over all us , with his "wise punchlines" That's probably main reason why nobody listens to his albums since 1988. Well, except some shredders-wannabe. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I agree that each player can be intense and creative in their own way, using few or many notes. If you can hear something in your ears, and translate it to the guitar, then it will be musical and flow in an organic fashion, whether it's slow or fast. But, if we force something, like a tonne of notes into a bar, or a short melodic phrase with few notes, because we think that's how we should play, and it's not how we internally hear the music, then it'll never turn out well for us as players.

He is amazing for sure. I like the long notes and slow groves to. That's what's cool bout music, it can be so different, and just AWSOME to hear.

The technical ability to control a given note/phrase is crucial to being an expressive player. So being able to play whatever comes to mind, no matter how slow/fast that might be is a perpetual goal, or should be, of anyone serious about their instrument IMHO.

I mean, it makes sense and all since that's his stock and trade. But yeah, I agree 100 percent with what your saying. If he never played another 32nd note in his life, he'd still be worth listening too. He's a pretty good example of what I was talking about before even if he does indulge his shred side a smidge too often QUOTE (DeGroot @ Jul 23 2013, 04:15 PM) That is a big reason why I am a fan of Yngwie.

Also..agree with Slav about what he's done across lats 20 years...but at the same time I think Of his huge success....How many of You would wish to see other people doing "Your Name and Surname licks and style solos ":) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
