Kristofer Dahl28th May 2019Agreed Monica, to me it's all about adapting the ideas to my own limitations - thtat's when I really can make use of them. If I pretended to have Yngwie's exact technique - progress would be very slow..! Thanks 🙏🙏
Monica Gheorghevici28th May 2019Amazing lesson Kris!!! I love that diminished arpeggios and I also love the fact that you played them using a bit of hybrid picking. For my personal taste, I like the fact that you took them out a little from the neoclassical area. In this way you have shown how important is and how much influence the sound, each technique that we choose to use.

Yngwie - the finest guitar export to ever come from Sweden! I love him not only as a fellow Swede but also for his massive impact on the guitar community.
I have never learned a solo of his - but I was heavily influenced by his first REH instructional video when I started out. Also we have great coverage of his style and licks in the GMC lesson archive, and I have learned a lot from my fellow instructors here.
So why do you need another Yngwie lesson? Well today we are not going to attempt to clone Yngwie - rather explore how we can build neoclassical phrases under his influence.
This lesson use the backing from Marcus Lavendell's Neoclassical Three-Level-Lesson. When that lesson was published it totally blew our minds - not only did Marcus capture Yngwie's spirit to 110% - but he had broken it down into three different levels so everyone could approach it. I strongly encourage to check his lessons out - they are a part of GMC history!
We are going to play our licks in Eb Phrygian dominant, and there will be no need to tune down our guitars.
Within this scale - can be found the E Diminished arpeggio which we will be using as well. NB note this is not a typo, E diminished is diatonic to [ = "fits into" ] the Eb Phrygian dominant scale.
