Sorry dude but Malmsteen is a hack. All he did was take classical pieces by Paganini and transcribe them to guitar at a faster speed. Speed does not make a good guitar player.i really hope i just missed it and somebody put him
Yngwie Malmsteen, hes disgustingly good, better than Vai in my opinion.
if you play electric guitar with a symphonic orchestra you have to be good! : P
Yngwie Malmsteen Officially Changes Middle Name To '****ing'Yngwie Malmsteen, hes disgustingly good, better than Vai in my opinion.
+1!! saw him on the first G3 tour with Satch and Eric Johnson.I'm a fan of Steve Vai
I don't know if hack is the best description, he's redundant in his movements and his ?less than dynamic? tone (farted out single coil on the bridge)... but his advanced technical capabilities w/arpeggio sweeps and triads are irrefutable, no matter how fat his fingers get or how big is belly bulges? he?s an original.Sorry dude but Malmsteen is a hack.

Mary Friedman is a guy?...If you need to listen to that "neo-classical" stuff, start with either Jason Becker or Mary Friedman. Those guys ripped. I wore out several Cacophony cassettes back in the day.
The fact that you used Satriani and Malmsteen in the same context indicates that you have not heard much Satriani. Satch's music is about so much more than speed.serious question:
do the people who adore guitar 'virtuosos' (ie, satriani, malmsteen, etc) also like their vocalists to have a 6 octave range and sing as many notes as possible in the shortest available time span?

And I really don't understand your attempt to compare guitar with vocals. It doesn't make any sense at all.
yeah, I have to certainly be in the mood for him.I also like Gary Hoey, but I have to be in the mood for it.
1. Dude really good.
2. Where the hell is my SMDH Jersey you promised oh so many years ago?
I wish I were cool enough to sport one, but I am not.2. Where the hell is my SMDH Jersey you promised oh so many years ago?
Setzer is a good call as well....rep given!I forgot about Brian Setzer...I like him too.
And Neil Young is a completely worthless guitar player. I'm a better guitar player than he is.....

damn right. haha.The fact that you used Satriani and Malmsteen in the same context indicates that you have not heard much Satriani. Satch's music is about so much more than speed.
No. I was actually going to post the same. For all you can joke about his appearance, he is a great musician and I believe the guitar is his main instrument. I have an mp3 of him playing honkey tonk woman live.
is that weird?
