Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the best guitarists to ever pick up the instrument. But most guitarists who try to learn from him are missing the entire point of what makes him so special.
In this video I break down what actually makes Yngwie untouchable — the harmonic minor, the Phrygian dominant, the scalloped frets, and why his connection to Bach and Sinatra makes him the most musically sophisticated guitarist in rock history. Plus why David Gilmour has more in common with him than anyone wants to admit

🎸 Private Guitar Lessons
I offer private one-on-one guitar instruction, for players who want focused, individualized work.
Private lessons are available with:
• me, or
• Andy Jones (one of my instructors)
Private instruction is best for:
• players with very specific goals
• professionals or semi-pros
• those who want deep, personalized feedback
Availability is limited and not guaranteed year-round.

WHO THIS IS FOR (AND WHO IT ISN’T)
This work is not for:
• beginners
• people looking for fast results
• content-driven “lick collecting”
It is for:
• guitarists who care about how they sound
• players frustrated by shallow instruction
• adults who want to use their practice time wisely
If that resonates, you’ll feel it immediately.
