Great Yngwie Malmsteen quotes - the maestro in his own words: "What I play fast will also sound good at a slower speed. If you slow down the fast licks that a lot of other guitarists do, people would puke

Guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen shared a set of quotes reflecting his approach to speed, tone and playing technique, as he promotes new music. The article references his background as the guitarist who helped bring Paganini influences into electric guitar and notes a previous studio incident in which he fired a gun during recording. Malmsteen’s comments include the idea that if fast licks are slowed down in an inferior way, they could “make people puke,” while he favors classical runs, arpeggios and broken chords that still work musically at lower tempos. The piece also cites his new single “Now or Never” and the forthcoming album Hell or High Water, due November 13 via Music Theory Recordings/Artone Label Group.
