Yngwie Instructoinal Video

In Yngwie's video called Hot Licks, he does the example 9 Lick. This is very cool, but I don’t have the tabs for it. I looked on the Internet on this site, and most of the tabs are bogus there. I tried them out does not sound or look anywhere near what he does. I was wondering does anyone know the tablature for example 9?

i have an yngwie video.. but i dunno what it is called. .. however - what does the lick sound like? is it the echo etude?

I think it's called "pedal note" technique , you repeat one note and go down... Malmsteen do this one a lot with some variations.

I'll tab a small portion of it , I'm sure you can figure the rest but just make sure to slow down cuz this one gets realy tricky if you tried it up to speed from the first time.

Oh that - well he ripped that "trick" off bach (like most of his other tricks) - go check my toccata and fuge - it encapsulates alot of it (i did it with tapping, but it can be played without aswell if you alter the shape on the fretboard a bit. This "Organpoint" technique is one of the techniques used in counterpointed music - the name is derrived from organs with footmanuals (now that term is pretty sick *LOL*)- which are pretty much a keyboard for the feet (you can see that on hammond organs aswell) - where you hold a note whilst playing a melody on top of it.

Ok I have that video and the tab booklet that came along with it. Here it is: Example 9

PS. I just did a preview of the tab and was perfect while writing it. then i click preview/submit it looks messed up..but it's still readable
|-----------------------------10-9-10-9-------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------|

Is there a bug in this forum? The "PS." msg I wrote came after the tab but ended up where you see it now.

...and another thing...the tab numbers that appear as a chord are not! treat them as separate notes...it's just this forum is buggy as hell

The 3rd row tab line the 9 on the 3rd string comes after 10 on the 2nd string.
I swear the tab was nice and neat while I wrote it untill it got submitted

you should have posted it with a "code" tag - read the VB-codes to this forum

I figured that lick out for the most part. I figured the keys and just found out what he was doing.

Now I need to know that one were he does the symetric A on example 4.

Again the tabs I found were not accurate. Does anyone now what scale pattern he is using?

Can somebody tell me what he is doing in example 4.

I divided them into small pieces of four notes for you, to be easier to learn.

ok i believe that yngwie uses pedal tones but i wouldnt say he stole them from bach..u never know if there were pianist before that used pedal points and bach could have taken them..back then u could steal a song and say it was urs and they wouldnt do anything..i probly sound like a jackass..srry

my mistaked..i said stole and thats not what someone said earlier..i meant ripped off or watever

Pedal tones don't make a good solo themselves, but a certain pedal tone line (like the second part of Bach's tocatta & fugue in Dm) is recognisable , so if somebody stole it we would all notice.
We all use unison bends and we don't even know who was the first to play them ... That's not theft.
