Proof that with guitar solos fast isn't always good

[Reverend Conehead]

He can play fast ........................................... but it doesn't make it good.



That poor Strat.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

OMG, I didn't think it possible, but this one's even worse.

Both were beyond horrible, he was attempting to play fast and failing. The notes weren't clean and nothing I heard had any musical or scale structure whatsoever. I know people bag on Yngwie for playing fast but he pretty much has had the same technical ability since the 1st recording I have heard of him in 79 which would have put him around 15-16 years old. He has probably the best vibrato I have heard, can play very fast as well as articulate and clean. This guy above was beyond horrible.

Had to share this, all of around 15 years old and already had total command of the instrument. You can definitely hear the Ritchie Blackmore and Uli Jon Roth in his playing.

Yeah, Yngwie does get a bad rap for playing too fast as a show-off, but he's a good guitar player. There's a point to his solos. If you can create a solo that moves people with emotion, then whether it's fast, slow, or a combo of that, it's a good solo. It should enhance the song. Yngwie does that, using a lot of speed in the process. The loon in the clips I posted just bombards you with a mess of notes. It's garbage.

Yes I had to go and watch some snippets of his stuff and its pretty bad. And some people in the comments section were actually impressed.

That was bad ***.

That's a good guitar solo. It's not just a bunch of random fast notes. It starts with a beginning and builds toward an end, enhancing the song. It fits the song and makes it better. This is a good lead guitarist, unlike the goofball I posted.

That sounds like a glitching video game.

Yngwie is one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived.

Yep, at the time of this recording it was much more technically advanced than anything EVH was doing. Guy is a straight up monster and has probably the best vibrato I have ever heard.

Love how he does the pinch harmonic followed by the pick slide/open string/harmonics/feedback to end it. I have seen a lot of horrible players on YT and this takes the cake.

LOL, it's pretty bad. But you can learn from bad players just like you can learn from good ones. The bad ones show you what not to do.
