Yngwie Malmsteem is one of the uber-shredders of the guitar world, up there with Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert and Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap. Not your cup of tea? Well, it's a pretty, ah, specialized area with an audience that is becoming "more selective," if you know what I mean. This parody showcases Yngwie's special talents quite well...
And as a bonus, here's Nigel's classic guitar solo where he outdoes Jimmy Page's use of the violin bow from the funniest rock and roll movie ever, " This Is Spinal Tap
As Spinal Tap's David St Hubbins says, "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."

...Thank you. Reminds me that I need to watch Spinal Tap again.

the best part of that Nigel Tufnel clip is when he stops to tune the violin.
I remember seeing that in the theatre & cracking up at that part.
