It's been over four decades since Yngwie Malmsteen burst onto the scene with his signature neoclassical approach to the electric guitar. In fact, this year marks the 40th anniversary of his second album, Marching Out – which features one of his most beloved tracks, I’ll See the Light Tonight (who can forget the iconic diminished coda on the two lowest strings?). That longevity and milestone is no mean feat considering the transient nature of the industry.
However, despite celebrating his illustrious career with last year's 40th Anniversary World Tour and Tokyo Live, Malmsteen insists he doesn't think about his legacy too much.
