Let’s forget about Yngwie’s speed for a second, and marvel at his beautiful intonation on bends and vibrato.

[erlan]

I still get chills every time I hear the main theme on Black Star.
Yngwie is a guitar legend!

[aaronhiggs]

The older I get, the more I get Yngwie. He’s really passionate about what he likes. Thats awesome.

I met and still have the guitar pick Yngwie gave me after a gig in 85. I met him and Jens that night. Both took the time to spend time with the half a dozen of us that hung around at 2 in the morning. A middle of the summer gig that the walls of the club sweated. Yngwie poured Heineken on us that were down in front. They threw a towel over Jen's head, and he played flawlessly blinded. We stood there dumbfounded by what we saw and heard. One hell of a night I will never forget. "Rising Force" is an album that shaped my own playing back then and is just as powerful today as it was then. He is my "Hendrix" of my generation.

You can tell by the spark in his eyes when he talks about the '54, he's totally in love with this thing. That already makes him a winner. No matter what people think of him or his music or whatever - the fact that he's kept the same excitement for his Fenders and for playing the way he does just makes him a winner at life. It's so hard to stay spirited and passionate in life. Nobody can do it. Some people can.

I love Yngwie. He's not only a technical master, his feel is incredible. His bends, vibrato, pick attack, bends etc, they are all superb.

[RootsCafeAthens]

We love you Yngwie ....Ultimate strat Hero ....up there with Jimi, Ritchie, SRV, J.Beck, Eric Johnson and Clapton!

[ajlsrv]

An absolute legend. Original. Uncompromising. Brilliant.

Yngwie Is The Man! What A Fantastic Player

[MrDaveangelo]

Yngwie is one of the last true rock stars livin and breathin. We all fell in love with guitar because of people like him. Respect.

[trippy]

His playing always stops me dead in my tracks. So melodic and beautiful.

[loquitogusanito]

Ive ran into this guy so many times around Miami, so cool to have a living legend hanging out around town

[robistocco]

Dude is so happy about guitars, it's amazing.

[FenderBenderBilly]

he is the living definition of more is more

[dundergod]

I have to say that I think Yngwie looks much healthier and more focused than ever before.
He´s got a new sparkle in his eyes I haven´t seen in years and that´s awesome.

[alexfields]

[andrews]

I did not expect a strat timeline from Yngwie when I clicked this link. He continues to surprise and amaze me the same way he did when I first heard him 40yrs ago ... thanks Fender for asking Yngwie to do this documentary!

[bautistagarais]

Coolest guy on planet earth. This man just breathes Rock and Roll
What a legend.

[spencerdawson]

The once and forever Maestro. He took all of his musical influences and created an alchemy that’s still mind blowing today.
