About Yngwie Malmsteen
Yngwie Malmsteen pioneered the neoclassical metal style, infusing rock guitar with classical aesthetics inspired by Bach and Paganini. His virtuosic technique elevated guitar playing to new technical standards.
Born in Sweden in 1963, Malmsteen was the first artist (along with Eric Clapton) to be honored with a Fender signature Stratocaster in 1988. His scalloped fretboard and heavy use of vibrato became trademarks.
His influence on metal guitar is immeasurable, inspiring countless shredders with his complex arpeggios, harmonic minor scales, and violin-style vibrato technique.
