And now for something completely different (another member of the original G3 alongside Joe Satriani and Steve Vai): Yngwie Malmsteen.

Yngwie Malmsteen Acoustic Guitar Solo

[johnakay]

thats one instrument I'd love to play but I just don't have the patience.
I did have bass lesson but all the instructor wanted to teach me is different notes etc and hardly any playing
did it for two and a half months and all I could play was herby Hancock cantelope tune and all I did was bum bum bum space then bum bum ,bum bum bum about 3 different notes but that is it. I was pretty pissed off to say the least. ok he was cheap @£17 hr.
I just wanted to play for a bit of fun..if I could play a couple of songs that was all I wanted.
so I gave my yamaha bass guitar to my son. he could play alright but mostly complicated song like led zeplins stairway to heavens on a acoustics guitar..
anyway he gave me an old applause acoustic guitar that I bought him a few years ago.it still like new but needs new strings now and I've also got a cheap fender style bass guitar with picolo strings and a tremelo  . had the tremelo fitted by a local guitar maker.
start to play that and I could play a tune but bugger if I know what it was, I just made it up as I went along.
my son said that brilliant that Dad where did you get it
but try as I might I could not get any books with no's etc like you can on a normal guitar in other words dot to where you fingers on the frets.. so in the end I gave up..

Brian Robertson & Scott Gorham Q&A solos on "Emerald" - brilliant (still) 

[Hedgetrimmer]

Oh yes, Rush, La Villa Strangiato from Hemispheres! 

[mickvp]

that guys class!

I did play it last night when you posted it and my missus' said "what's that noise your listening to"!?!

..uncultured swine that she is

Mark knopfler for me tonight (solo stuff, not dire straights) very bluesy/folky. Right up my street.

I love his stuff!

Have you got his "Get Lucky" album? That has some great tunes on it, with a lot of folk influence - think Golden Heart gone more folk.

Actually Mick, that's not his best playing (and the sound quality on that clip isn't great), but I was too tired last night to trawl for anything else - I wanted to find you a piece with a strong Scottish influence! I promise you his albums are well worth buying.
Interesting to note, he gave up a promising career in mathematics to take to guitar playing professionally, everyone told him he was daft, but I wish I could earn what he probably gets for doing what he loves best!

Yes, that was the album I was listening to actually. I particularly like border reiver, and get lucky. Ive only just got his new album "privateering" but not listened to it much yet.

If thats some of his poor(er) playing, Im intrigued to hear what he sounds like when he is on form -  must be class. Certainly someone ill be checking out more of, for sure (my missus' likes music like Avicii, and calvin harris, so she totally doesnt get what i consider "proper" music)

Not as good, IMO. Get Lucky is his best recent work, I think!

Other great tracks on the album are "Hard shoulder" and the finale "Piper till the end".

I think Get Lucky is one of those albums where no one song is phenomenal, but all the songs on it are really good instead. 

[mickvp]

piper till the end, how could i forget that! agreed, very good songs all round really, the finale being one of the top ones! very reminiscent of "brothers in arms" for me, but in a good way
