| | No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Yngwie Malmsteen |
 | | Yngwie is the Swedish, lightning-fast, guitar shredding egomaniac that helped change the way people look at metal and is one of the most influential heavy metal guitarist of the 80's and 90's. |
 | | Yngwie combined classical chord progressions, harmonic minor scales, and jaw-dropping, fast picking techniques that included the sweep-picked arpeggio that few were using yet. |
 | | No doubt that Yngwie is one of the best, as far as dazzling, lightning-fast technique goes, but when the songs start sounding like they could have been on Rainbow's later day offerings, then he just sounds like one of the many, rather than the originator. |
