Yngwie Malmsteen - Play Loud FULL SHRED 57: Discover the Magic of Melody and Harmony

'Answer to the Master' is one of Impellitteri's finest discs, if not their very best. Rob and Chris are perfect together and continued to get better with each and every disc. Gone completely are the glammy, commercial sounds of 'Stand in Line' that were still vaguely present on 'Grin and Bear It.' This disc simply shreds from beginning to end. Many likened this disc to Yngwie, but the only real similarity is in the speed, and perhaps the style, of the lead guitar playing. Otherwise I think that Chris Impellitteri writes better songs overall. His songs are memorable, catchy yet still heavy and fast. Of course, as I said before, having Rob Rock around doesn't hurt either. The man could sing over an air raid siren and make it sound good. Anyhow, MUCH thanks go out to James for hooking me up with this disc, as well as 'Grin & Bear It.' I have been searching for a long time for the final two discs in my Impellitteri collection.

Impellitteri - Wicked Maiden (Victor Entertainment) 2009 1. Wicked Maiden (4:01) 2. Last of A Dying Breed (3:12) 3. Weapons Of Mass Distortion (3:51) 4. Garden Of Eden (5:13) 5. The Vision (4:56) 6. Eyes of an Angel (4:15) 7. Hi-Scool Revolution (4:36) 8. Wonderful Life (4:02) 9. Holy Man (4:15) 10. The Battle Rages On (4:41) Chris Impellitteri comes screaming back with one of his best albums since "Screaming Symphony". This is partially due to the return of vocalist and co-writer Rob Rock. Rob and Chris are the perfect compliment to each other. Thankfully Chris dropped the downtuning and is not longer trying to sound like any number of modern metal bands. Instead, he returns to the tried and tested formula that he has always been known for. For the most part the songs are intense, guitar driven metal songs with some classical inspiration, memorable, galloping guitar riffs, fast shredding guitar solos and the incredible vocals of Rob Rock. The title track kicks off the album at break neck speed. A few of these songs have a classic sound that echoes back to "Screaming Symphony". "Garden of Eden" and "Weapons of Mass Distortion" definitely have a similar vibe. "Garden of Eden" has slight neo-classical fell and a solo break that will leave most guitarists with their jaws on the floor. A few song have a slightly more commercial vibe that would have fit on "Grin and Bear It" or "Stand In Line". "Hi-Scool Revolution" is one such song, a song about high school rebellion. Likewise, "Eyes of an Angel" has a strong hooky chorus that give the song a strong commercial appeal.

Here is an exercise for developing your ability to bend notes. Make sure you reach the exact pitch you are trying to bend to. In this exercise you are bending from D to E on the third string and then playing another E on the second string. Listen carefully to make sure your bent E note is not sharp or flat. Try recording yourself bending some notes and then listen back to check the pitch of your bends.

Just some feedback on your audio demos you cam hardly hear the guitar notes being played because the drumming sound is so prominent and loud . This is a real shame because it voids the objective of it

Yngwie - a pioneer in the Shred for Shred's Sake genre - can shred, but usually does so in a manner that leaves the listener wondering:"Why doesn't he just slow down & put some soulful bends in there? " - plays for the egoDon't get me wrong, I do like some of yngwie's stuff, it's just thathe's gotten so predictable & formulaic that I just can't listen to himanymore.Get the UJR, without a doubt...In article ,

I play many styles, from Jazz to Country and heavy metal. I believe inconstructive criticism. At times if it is a little harsh it may sinkin. We all shred, or at least try to. The biggest shredder I everheard, and one of my favorite jazzers, is John McGlaughin. Althoughmany non-fusion jazzers will consider him as a rocker. It's all in theears of the beholder. One of the things that makes playing music worthwhile is diversity. If I had to play only jazz standards or heavy metalor any other one style of music, I would be bored to death. But to meimprovisation, in any style of music, is my greatest pleasure. Youngguys who want to learn to improvise have to try everything includingshredding. In time it all comes together. I jam with a few younger guys who have come a long way in a short time. They learn from us old farts. So instead of putting someone down fornot being able to do what you do, teach them. Young brains pick upthings quickly. As for young guys dissing us old fart jazzers. "Learnthen earn".Pt

>What's shredding?>You have just pointed out the crux of why that original post seemed soridiculous. Jazz musicians do not generally talk in terms of"shredding"! Teenage heavy metal heads often do, and no doubt createdthat term.It means;A guitarist that plays very fast, possesses much technical wizardry,and plays in a loud, agressive style. Usually in the "metal" genre butit can be used for any player that falls into one or more of the abovecatagories.At first it was meant as a compliment, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, andthose kind of players held that title. But over time it lost some ofits gloss, and is now often used to describe a guitarist who;Does all the things in the above list, but at the expense of emotion,feeling, tastefulness, creativity, musicianship etc...More often used as the latter example these days, at least from what Ihave gathered.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY to Italian immigrant parents. My father played guitar and sang throughout my childhood, so there was always a guitar around. As a child of 6 or 7, I would strap on his big acoustic guitar and randomly strum the open strings loudly. At the age of 12, I became very serious about playing to the point where it became the only thing I was interested in doing. 2ff7e9595c
