An Yngwie Malmsteen Biography

By Nathan Spencer

The year 1983 was a turning point for guitar enthusiasts of America. During this year that the renowned guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen left his native country, Sweden, and emigrated to USA. This guitarist is famous for inventing a new style of music that is an ear catching fusion of the beauty of both classical music and metal bombast. It is this style that differentiates Malmsteen from other guitarists of his genre. Thanks to the strong European stamp that his music carries, the musical scene changed with his arrival in America.

Born in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, on the 30th of June 1963, Malmsteen was exposed to the charms of classical music from the tender age of five. Malmsteen's mother takes the credit for this exposure she used to listen to the compositions of Bach, one of the all time greats of music composing. Malmsteen, whose father too played the guitar was lucky to be born in a family that was musically oriented. His brother played the accordion, violin, piano, drums, and the guitar and sister played the piano and the flute.

Malmsteen, was also influenced by the 19th century violinist, Nicolo Paganini, also has a make of guitar dedicated to him. He took over to playing the guitar after this turning point in his life. Those fortunate enough to witness the shows of this guitar virtuoso are no doubt left spell bound with the magic Malmsteen performs with his guitar. Those who are interested in neoclassical rock guitar should check out his solo album, "Yngwie J. Malmsten's Rising Force" that was also nominated for a Grammy.

The 19th of September 1970 was the day Malmsteen picked up the guitar for the first time it might be coincidental but it was the same day when one of the world's legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix expired. According to Malmsteen, guitarists cannot be made unless they have a special desire within them. He also specifies that the rest of the journey is quite smooth once beginners get past the basics of guitar playing.
