Yngwie Malmsteen Style Diminished Arpeggios


In this latest "Lick Of The Week" video guitar lesson, you will learn a lick in the style of Yngwie Malmsteen.

Yngwie uses Diminished licks all throughout his solos and it is licks like this one that are his signature.

Keep in mind that you don't have to play it as fast as Yngwie to successfully use this lick in your own playing. Also, diminished runs can be used in almost all types of music, usually with a very dramatic effect.

So watch the video and take your time learning the lick, and make sure you download the TAB PDF for this lesson as well.
