10 Reasons Yngwie Is GREAT (NOT Because He's Fast)

Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the greats.

In this video I list 10 reasons why I think he's a great guitar player, without saying that he's fast (which he is...). Yngwie might have become something slightly less than he once was, but he really is one of the greats, right up there with among others Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck etc. He's been on the top for ages, even when shred was supposed to be dead (remember the days of grunge?).
Hope you enjoy the video.

The gear I most often use.
A Stratocaster of some kind, either an Yngwie Malmsteen Strat, or a custom Strat with a scalloped fretboard. For 7 string stuff I mostly use an Ibanez Universe.
A Marshall 1987x into a Marshall cab.
A Fender Yngwie Malmsteen overdrive, plus a Boss NS-2 noise gate, or a Strymon Sunset.
A Morley Bad Horsie 2 wah, and a delay.
An AKG C-414 mic for the guitar.
For acoustic stuff I use a Taylor 710 short scale thingy.
