When you think of Yngwie Malmsteen a few things spring to mind. Firstly, he can play the guitar. None have shredded the Fender Stratocaster like the Swedish maestro.
Secondly, he’s a larger-than-life character. This, after all, is the guitarist who fired a Magnum in the studio to set off a drum trigger when recording Parabellum, thus fulfilling a long-held ambition. But he is also a font of wisdom – and he has shared an important message that is worth pinning to your guitar amp at practice, whether you are a beginner or expert player.
