No Right Arm? But still playing great...

Learn to appreciate what you have. Look at this guy... We have something that he doesn't have. And yet, it doesn't deter him from doing what he loves.



yeah.. yeah.. i know.. his playing is not as clean as Yngwie Malmsteen's (the guy on my 2nd post). But taking his disability into consideration , he really did a wonderful job! I hope this inspires those who are just starting to play and those who got frustrated in learning this cool instrument!

Rock + Classical = Neoclassical

This is a perfect example on how Classical and Rock styles combine. The convergence is called Neoclassical Rock and Yngwie Malmsteen (pronounced as eeng-vei) invented it. Yngwie's guitar playing style is like playing a violin Solo accompanied by an orchestra. But instead of a violin and an orchestra, he uses an electric guitar backed by a band. Below is an example from his first solo album, Rising Force and he composed this during the early 80's. I know it's kinda' "old school". But I really like it!
