Far Beyond the Sun - Now Patreon-Exclusive (Patreon)

Since someone from Yngwie's side decided to take down my Youtube video, I'm uploading it here for Patrons only.

You may have seen my update on Youtube - Yngwie Malmsteen or his copyright holders made the call to take video down, and now my channel has a copyright strike. I’m really bummed about it because I worked very hard on that video, and I love sharing content that helps you all out. It’s a shame when things like this happen.

So, I'm re-uploading here for Patrons only to enjoy. Thank you so much for your support!

Here's the original post:

FINGER POSITIONS 

Just a heads up — Yngwie plays this in many different ways during live shows, so there might be some variations. I did my best to capture the finger positioning accurately, going by some live performance videos and by listening to studio version.

PICKING SPEED 

While I’m more comfortable with legato-style playing than at intense speeds like Yngwie, I wanted to tackle this request because his influence on my playing has been immense! My picking speed is still a work in progress, so I plan to revisit this piece again in a few years to keep refining it.

EDITED MY BEST PARTS 

This was a tough one to crack, so I recorded the entire playthrough a few times, and edited the best parts to keep things as accurate as I possibly could.

PRS vs FENDER 

Also, I apologize for not playing with a Fender scalloped fret guitar (Malmsteen edition). We reached out to Fender for a sponsorship but didn’t hear back. But seriously, this PRS is an absolutely amazing guitar, especially for those on a budget.

Thanks for all the comments on the sneak peek I had posted. Hope you guys play along!
