...Great Guitarist Rocker...but a totally different animal wouldn't you say?...Ritchie & Yngwie are a more suited comparison...I look at the two of them as a student that surpasses the teacher so to speak...I'd pair off Schenker with someone like Uli Roth maybe?...

They both have signature Strats as well.[/quote]
They don't both have signature Strats. That does not make good business sense for Fender to have a 2nd Malmsteen guitar. Also you would have gone into detail on such a guitar if it existed. He's a very good guitar player, but not an original. |

Gone into detail? I have nothing to prove to you. Obviously you can type well enough to search for yourself if you want specifics.

Yngwie Malmsteen has two signature Fender guitars. I believe it has the same pickups as the 1st signature guitar. So you can say they are sister guitars. Here is the story behind the 2nd one: http://www.fender.com/yngwie/english/

This is kind of cool to read and watch from my side of the fence.  Each person is looking at this from the standpoint of what they see as the attracting factor in the abillity of the guitarist they like the best. And i can see the point of each statment. That gets right back around to how do you decide what determins greatness, technical ability? Feeling? Well rounded style? Showmanship? .... You could go on and on and round and round with this. But it's all good stuff and each has it's place.

I agree 
As a non player I only really know a few intros 
And they are a mighty task for me....its all down to sound and tone for me when it comes to listening to guitarists.
I don't care about their technical ability or style.
The great thing is....nobody is wrong with there choices.
My favourite 3 guitar players are Schenker , Blackmore and Marsden...the Flying V , Fender Strat and Les Paul.
Its these 3 guys I like the sound of the most...
All have a very different tone..this is what excites me about them.
May I also add another to this list as well Johan Ericson been listening to this guy for over 6 years now.
He says this is the equipment he uses to get the sound he is after.
Gibson Les Paul Gothic, Jackson, Laney Amplifier, Boss GT-6, Rocktron, Ibanez Soundgear Bass.
Don't know how he does it but I love it.
Its like that great magic trick...I am not interested it how it was done but just interested the pure magic of it all.
I have been trying to post the right song so you guys can hear his different sounds , tones and riffs.If you listen to this track please make sure you turn it up loud...does not have the same magic without it
I think this song shows off a lot of his talents.

| Speaking of just going for the tone and over all sound, the guitarist for Alice Cooper through 70s and early 80s, wasn't a house hold name as a great guitar player but he is listed in the top 100 by Rolling Stone Mag. What I think does it for him is the tone. Without knowing what equipment he is using, any half skilled musician can know immediately that he was playing a Gibson through a very old tube Marshall. If you like that, slow churning, less is more Tony Iommi style, listen to any old Alice Cooper classics. He is another example of where old tube amplifiers make up the fundamentals of great sound. |

There wouldn't be a Malmsteen without a Blackmore.

...you know...I may have to confess that some of my stance in favor of Yngwie has been influenced by my dis-appointment in Ritchie's lack of participation in anything that made him famous in the first place...that factor alone has seemed to over-shadow much of my original admiration/amazement of his fret-work...Ritchie is un-deniably one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk the planet...

Maybe so, but Blackmore is a man of the past. He attempted to sell himself out to pop rock. Starting out in the 70s with some success in Deep Purple then weak record sales with Rainbow. (Btw, the rainbow at the time became the known symbol for gays. The name Rainbow also doesn't sound like a metal band. It sounds gay. No wonder the success was poor.) He abandoned Metal in the early 80s with his crappy version of a Foreigner. Did Blackmore redeem himself? - no. What is he doing now? - More crappy music. Blackmore did not have an impact on develop of classical music into metal during his hay-days. It wasn't till Randy Rhodes came along that there was a large enough impact where a guitarist influenced a change in metal.
Malmsteen took steps to further the Baroque influence in the 80s. Malmsteen boldly took the torch and carried it through the development of metal. Malmsteen worked hard and as a result, we have two Fender guitars designed by Malmsteen, dozens of guitars who jacked his looks, riffs, and style. We can clearly hear Vivaldi, Bach, Poussin and other fine violinist in Malmsteens music which is NOT present in Blackmore's music. |
