Far Beyond the Sun

Now here’s a quick finger stretch warmup to learn!

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. However, this PRS Silver Sky is an absolutely amazing guitar, especially for those on a budget. Be sure to check out PRS guitars – links are in the description! Thanks for watching, hope you guys play along!
