I can already hear the outcry from our readers about this month's feature on
the 50 fastest guitarist: "The guitar is more than playing fast, dude! You gotta
play with feeeeeeling! It´s not how many notes you playing, man, it´s what
you play..."
Yes, yes, we get it. but while it's true that speed isn´t everything, speed is
something. A flurry of notes placed in the right spot can exhilarating, exciting
and quite emotional. don´t believe us? Ask Bach, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix
and the many other greats who have used the arrow in their quiver when the
time was right.
On the subject, the cover boy for this issue, Yngwie Malmsteen, has been
inspiring guitarist to challenge themselves for more than two decades. With
his over the-top-dexterity, flamboyant stage show and controversial opinion
that technique reigns above all else, the Swedish virtuoso has been
universally cheered...and occasionally jeered. There is no doubt that her
personifies everything that is right, wrong and vastly entertaining about the
fine art of shredding. in one of the most comprehensive stories ever written
about the maestro, Chris Gil, Joe Lalaina and Andy Aledort will help you to
make up your mind about the merits piece, we have a feeling you'll end up a
convert.
We would also like to extend a special thanks to ur speedy special guest
stars, Joe Satriani, john Petrucci, Michael Angelo Batio, and Andy Aledort,
whose tips on how to play quicker will no doubt be of use to your years to
come.
Some say Guitar World is a fast read. Well strap yourself in. This issue is
bound to be the fastest ever.
