| Details: | Yngwie Malmsteen was born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck on the 30th of June 1963. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, he is a heavy metal guitarist, singer and composer known for his highly technical, neo-classical inspired playing.
You can tell an artist has become an icon when their name is used as a byword for an entire genre or style of music. You think of sensitive singer songwriter confessionals? Elliott Smith comes to mind. Poetic descriptions of loneliness and alienation set? Morrissey is your guy. The fastest guitar playing in popular music? In terms of sheer technical skill, no-one epitomises it more than Yngwie Malmsteen.
The Swedish sensation is the very model of the guitar virtuoso and everything that comes with it. All the way down to the sheer ostentatiousness of everything he does on and off stage, not to mention the inflated ego that’s associated with that kind of musician as well. The kind that would be insufferable if he couldn’t back it up and needless to say, he backs it up with the kind of guitar playing that either leaves you either desperate to replicate it or swearing off ever playing the guitar for life.
