When I first heard Yngwie play back in the early 80's I was awstruck. I had never heard anything like it. His speed was really border line neck breaking. I spend a lot of time learning how to do that setting the frets to fire, then spent even more time undoing it. You see when I first got into Yngwie I already played pretty well, I was one of the two top guitar players in school. I had a cool bluesy thing going on, at least until I tried to be someone I wasn't. I played with the speed when I needed it until I started to cope Yngwie then couldn't slow down, everthing I did was done at these crazy speeds, it got boring real fast. I spent the next year undoing the shredder in me to get back the magic I had, and still to this day when I get nerveous I have to be careful because I tend to play faster. So heed the warning on the wood shed door "Be careful what you carry in it may follow you out."
