Do you know how Yngwie Malmsteen got his name?


Taken from a Guitar World article....

In a different world, under different circumstances, the name Lars Lannerback would be known high and wide to aficionados of shred guitar. But in this world, things being what they are, it is Yngwie J. Malmsteen who holds pride of place among the virtuosi.

In the end, it makes no difference: Lannerback and Malmsteen are the same guy.

"I was born Lars Johan Yngwie Lannerback," Malmsteen fesses up. "But no one called me Lars during my youth. I was always called Yngwie.

"Malmsteen" He explains comes from his mother. "I took her maiden name and used it as my last name when she separated from my father, Leonard Lannerback."

The revelation ends more than two decades of secrecy, during which the Scandinavian guitarist has found fame and fortune as one of metal guitar's guiding lights.

There is more but I'm not going to type it all... buy the back issue of Guitar World... Oct 2006

dude....

I have a Marshall amp sitting next to me, Les Paul and custom strat too but I hardly ever play anymore. I sing too and got a BA from Berklee in Audio Engineering and Production.

I actually read that awhile back so yep, I knew. :)

I fucked up links in previous post. These should work:

this track is a mix of a few classical songs done into rock and roll

This is an instrumental song by Steve Vai called For The Love of God.

This is the tune I have written

I've been playing over 20 years (since I was 15), I can "shred", I play mostly metal but can play most anything, I've played on 10 or so CDs that you can buy in stores as well as my own bands.

Most people don't know I am probably a better guitar player than a webmaster ... hahaha.

Fender Fat Strat which i put a Dimarzio Duper Distortion pickup in the bridge position.

Fender Standard Telecaster which now has a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge position.

Lotus which is a cheap strat copy. It was my first guitar though, so i keep it around for sentimental reasons.

Fender Jazz Bass. Bought it used for $50 just to fuck around with.

Ovation Electric/Acoustic.

i've had alot more guitars over the years too. mostly fenders. including 1976 Fender Musicmaster Bass. Fender Precision Bass. Fender Duo Sonic. Fender Jaguar Re-Issue, and a few others here and there.

overall though my tele and my strat are my two favorites, but i have kicking around the idea of getting a Les Paul Custom and a Martin Acoustic some time in the near future.

i always feel like i am neglecting them though if i have too many guitars and don't play each one regularly.

lol, i just play guitarhero ") hehehehehe

I've been playing for about ten years now. I never really spent enough time playing seriously to be in a band or anything but just play for fun. I'm also going to school right now to learn how to build guitars which has been awesome. My electric will be done on Friday and my acoustic will be done next week so I'll post pics of the finished products.

Flamenco here the hardest to learn 12 beat rythms

Nice chops!!! :thumbsup

I want to get my hands on one of these

I always thought what makes the Fender Strat to be such an eternal guitar? You would just change one thing in the design - and it would suck. But this shape is just the ultimate guitar.

There is like only Gibson Les Paul, no other guitars ever took off, although I also like the new model that Santana Plays lately, forgot the brand.
