Here is the intro song for the DVD (Guitar Shred volume #1) from http://www.amazingli cks.com . This lead guitar only song is a demonstration of classic 80's Neo-Classically influenced music that made guitarists like Yngwie and Joe Satriani so popular.
Yngwie with Alcatrazz in 1984 when he was 21.
Yngwie has been a huge influence on my guitar playing and has inspired me to play the neo-classical shred style I love to play even to this day.

Db Mixolydian "Winding Lick from Jeff Garner. Jeff has been in many neo-classical projects since the late 80's with influences by shred guitarists such as Vinnie Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Al Di Meola, and others. He has an instructional DVD at http://www.amazingli cks.com
Young Yngwie at 21 in Japan in 1984 with Graham Bonnet - Classic! This was the first song I learned from Yngwie also back in 1984.

Here is a repetative "winding" lick which only uses 4 notes. Practice the right hand picking pattern on this as it's the key to making this lick sound smooth. Here is the picking:
UP - DOWN - UP - DOWN - PULLOFF - PULLOFF

This guy after just getting his brand new high end $2800 Bogner Uberschall guitar head drops it and no it's not gutted - actually the delivery company ROLLED it end over end without using a handtruck 40+ feet into our warehouse. This was a shipping insurance claim, yet it still hurts to watch!
