i agree, yngwie is one of my favorite guitarists, he is blindingly fast and never ceases to amaze me. i once played his guitar solo (trilogy suite Op-5, spasebo blues) for my friend who was a die hard van halen fan. it saddened him and he grungingly admit that yngwie was better.

anyways, sorry, i don't know the dates on the magazine, and its been a while since i've seen a 45 rpm, sorry


do you remember what song was on the record?
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
