Question About Yngwie's Songs

[TheDirt]

Hey everyone. I'm wanting to learn some Yngwie, and I'd like to know what you guys think are some easier songs of his to start out with. They all seem pretty damn fast to me! Thanks.

Icarus' Dream Suite

imo his best. most melodic and structured. beautiful piece and most of it isn't terribly hard

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

Try "Farewell" from Rising Force, it's a nice acoustic piece.

Black Star.

Black Star
I'll See The Light Tonight
Dreaming (give it a chance, I know its slow, but its got somes good guitar in it)
Rising Force
Demon Driver

Also, if you want another non-stop guitar song, Krakatau is very good. Its also the song that Joe Stump has based his entire career on ;)

Well im learning "Far Beyond The Sun" at the minute, not so slow. "I am a viking" is pretty easy apart from the solo, shame about the stupid lyrics :P

I think "Bedroom Eyes" is pretty damn easy too, depends what albums you have though I guess.

Black Star -- I don't really like this song all that much.

I'll See The Light Tonight -- I tried an excerpt from this, and I can hit the interlude pretty well, but once it got to the real solo, I got lost.

Dreaming (give it a chance, I know its slow, but its got somes good guitar in it) -- Hey I love that song! I was working on it's solo last night actually.

Rising Force -- I worked on the interlude to this in the past.

Far Beyond The Sun -- I learned most of this song a while back.

Thanks for the suggestions. Oh, speaking of Icarus Dream Suite... That's of the Concerto album. There are very few tabs from this album available that I've found. What's up with that? I'd like to learn a couple songs off of it, but don't really have the patience to transcribe the maniac... ah well, I gotta run. Currently working on Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin for the piano (did I mention I play piano too?) :P

icarus' dream sweet is form the Rising Force album and there are tabs all over the net



the one from teh concerto suite is Icarus' Dream Fanfare

[Jamiephofe]

I never use tabs from the net anymore, especially for the faster/more technical stuff like Yngwie/Vai etc. They never seem to be completely correct or finished, it's ok if you can transcribe that sort of stuff I guess, must take a long time though.

I also recommend "Farewell" from Rising Force.....best album...best song....and it ain't that hard to play really.
