Re: Yngwie singing & playing the blues WTF

Ya--there's another dude that does a lot of posting on youtube--great metal and rock soloist. Anyway--he posts a supposed "blues" clip where he's basically doing George Lynch metal runs over a blues progression.

That's NOT blues, IMHO. Likewise, Yngwie is a brilliant and gifted guitar player. Playing baroque-rock runs over a I-IV-V progression does not make it blues.



Just my opinion, of course--your mileage may vary.
