Kristofer Dahl8th December 2015Guys & girls - if you like this lesson concept, be sure to give us some feedback so we can understand better what you are looking for!
Sensible Jones8th December 2015Wow! Malmsteen that even I could attempt! Bravo Ben!!
n3m578th December 2015May be it's time to try some sweep picking, thanks Ben !
Monica Gheorghevici8th December 2015Great idea with this easy approach of Malmsteen style. I think we will see very often this lesson in REC
Clothingstorm48th December 2015My only request is for uncovered player like Chris Broderick or Gus G, some other ideas could perhaps be original compositions or excerpts? That way you could see the disused techniques being used in real musical situations... That's my only real input Kris other than that, your all doing brilliant!

Also the Beginner to advanced style lesson (like Muris Varajic did) where pretty good too! Same lesson, but for different skill levels

Ah yes good thinking, we could revisit that concept!
Glad you like this one - we are working on several more "made easy" style lessons!

Cool - I am sure we will see them covered at some point! 
Phil668th December 2015Nice one Ben, so now how about Hendrix, Rhoads, Satch, Vai, Govan, Knopfler, Clapton, Richards, Gilmour, Beck, Johnson (Eric), Johnson (Robert), Santana, EVH, Blackmore, Page, SRV
I'm serious, I really think this could be a section on its own in GMC. Things for people to learn that they could play to people that is recognisable. Kind of like a few little party pieces for that moment when they say "So what can you play?"

Darius Wave8th December 2015Awesome idea with an "opening gate" to guitar gods, available for medium advanced players! Dig those essentials of "Ingysteen"

Hi and welcome to my new lesson. Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the most popular and often emulated guitarists of all time and for a good reason.
However, it takes time to build strong foundations and it can be boring for a beginner or intermediate guitar player who just wants to play
like their favourite guitarists. With this mind, I've created a lesson that has the Yngwie trademarks but it simple enough for you to learn. Hopefully
this will act as a gateway to the Yngwie sound and inspire you to continue to improve your abilities.
This lesson will work on:
-Picking
-Vibrato
-Bending
-Sweep picking
-Scale runs
I'm a firm believer in using music itself to improve technique gradually, rather than working on exercises. So, although the solo itself is very simplified
it is still a musical solo rather than a collection of notes. This should give you, the player, more satisfaction as you play along to something and make it sound better with continued improvement.
If this is your first foray into the world of Yngwie Malmsteen and neoclassical guitar then enjoy!
