Chords for How to Shred With Guitar God Yngwie Malmsteen

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm David Marchese.
I'm [Eb] a senior editor at Spin Magazine and a guitar hobbyist.
I've been playing for a long, long time, but [Fm] never got any good.
[Eb]
And I [Ebm] thought maybe [F] we could have one of the best guitar players in [Db] the world,
Yngwie Malmsteen, come [Eb] in and try and [Db] teach me how to rock.
[Eb] _ So just so you know, [A] this is basically my level of playing.
_ _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ Cool! _
Hi, I'm Yngwie [Dbm] Malmsteen.
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] So obviously I have something to [Eb] learn. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] On my site, RelentlessShred.com, I emphasize the fact that
not to play fast necessarily, but to play in tune and with good vibrato.
For instance, if you want to bend to an E, you start that note.
[Gb] _
_ _ Then you want to bend it up to this note. _ _
To this one.
That's the pitch you want, right?
So you go, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[B] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ ah!
[E] Not bad, not [F] bad, not bad.
One good way to learn that is to play the actual note on the other strings,
Hendrix style.
_ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And how about maybe just one more simple thing?
Simple thing?
Yeah.
_ I don't know that many simple things. _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ You look like you look.
_ Tell me a little bit about what your style inspirations are.
I actually took my _ clothing idea from Albert Einstein.
_ Clearly.
No, no, no.
He had one set of suits.
He would never think about it.
He was a smart man.
If I were to come on stage like this, what would you think?
What's [Gb] right or what's wrong with my look?
There's nothing really wrong with that.
Do you think it could be cooler? _ _
_ _ _ _ It's a personal thing.
_ Whatever you want to do.
But I think we have some ideas for how to _ change my look.
So maybe you can give me a hand with that.
Okay.
_ _ [D] _ So to start, do you want to just cut off the sleeves of my shirt?
If you hold it, I'll do it. Yeah.
[B] _
Okay.
Like this?
Yeah, just cut them off. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Aviator shades.
_ _ That's cool, man.
That's very cool.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ Is my stance good? _ _
Yeah, [Gb] that's good.
I'll play with your teeth.
[Gbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Now you're [C] complete.
Yeah.
Do you ever do [F] behind the head?
Oh, yeah. _
Like that?
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
[D] You got to hold the shit down, man.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bbm] Yeah.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
What key is that?
_ [G] Doesn't matter.
No.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Are we good to go?
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Very good.
_ Good job.
I learned a lot.
