I wouldn't list Yngwie as one of my very favorites anymore. Still love his playing and music but, like my guitar instructor said back in the early 90s..."Listening to Yngwie is like eating Spam. It's okay to have some every once in a while."

BTW, have you ever listened to Joe Stump? That guy is amazing as well and is the same style player as Yngwie.

Indeed...I love "Supersonic Shred Machine", "Night of the Living Shred", and "Speed Metal Messiah". He's certainly not shy about what he does.
