    Once you learn it at x.75 normal speed seems fucking impossible, I can't believe the man plays it live, with lights, heat, and hundreds of people watching and expecting him to fail. It's just insanity.
    So you, my friend, have all my respect, it was a flawless job.

    That was flawless, but watching this was also quite sad as it reminds you of how good Yngwie used to be, he hasn't come up with a solo as musically brilliant as this in years

    • @ClassicSoloSpotlight
      @ClassicSoloSpotlight  Před 3 lety +12

      Agreed. The golden years was before the accident, no doubt about that. That level of musicality will never be equaled as far as I'm concerned.

      And some believe that the Concerto album is his crowning achievement, with some of his best playing.
      Yngwie has written a lot of great stuff over the years. Cheers

      @@epic103 His concerto album was the last good thing he did. It was also around 10 years after his accident. I don't think the accident totally ruined his playing, he regained it but he probably lost it again due to laziness and no longer feeling the need to practice.

      @@ClassicSoloSpotlight Of course his playing deteriorating is not just due to the accident. He played technically even after, but he no longer composed such great songs and solos. And also his sound got worse for no reason. I mean he is now using tonnes of delay and reverb. In the older years his sound was just great without any special pedals, pickups, signature model etc

    Would you mind sharing which Dimarzio you use in the middle and neck position? I have Dimarzio sds1 in several guitars and they are a fabulous pickup but the problem is they are true single coil. They are quite loud with the hum. Your tone in these videos is so excellent.

    • @ClassicSoloSpotlight
      @ClassicSoloSpotlight  Před rokem +1

      Thanks. The Neck single was either a Fender stock or DImarzio virtual solo, cant remember now. The middle is always disconnected. The singles are indeed noisy but I feel the tone is worth it, just use a gate. Or maybe try the old FS-1 (norum), as I remember they were fairly quiet pickups.

    • @paroblynn
      @paroblynn Před rokem

      @@ClassicSoloSpotlight I love love love the sds1. I just play more gain than I should and I don’t like noise gates because I’m too impatient to get them to do what they need to do without altering my tone in a way that upsets my ears.
      I’m not a huge fan of the middle position but I bought the sds1 because Jake e Lee uses them.
      I’m just shopping around. Hopefully I figure out the tone circus before I get myself in a tailspin.
      Your channel though…your tone is spot on. Your playing is so clear and articulate. I understand there’s a bit of production and I read that you transcribe etc. but at the same time, the tone is still tone. The feel is still feel. You take my favorite guitars (s) style and you absolutely rule the day. Love the channel/content/and all things in between. Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA.
