Is "Genesis" worth listening to? Yngwie said his sister used to give him Genesis records I recently got "Selling England By The Pound" and I like it. I swear I can hear Steve Hackett doing sweep arpeggios in one of his solos on it too. And it's from 1973 I think. I also remember Paul Gilbert did a lesson with part of the "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" for Guitar Player a long time ago. I always meant to pick it up but never did. I liked the parts he transcribed though.

Your right about Steve Hackett! He was also one of the first two handed tapping guitarists. Way before EVH too. I saw Paul Gilbert at guitar clinic in Liverpool last month, very entertaining and seemed like a nice guy!

Yeah Alex is was at the Barfly, great turnout and I'm afraid to say there were a lot more people than what turned up for Yngwies clinic at LIPA a few years ago. Great night however I was a bit dissapointed that Paul didnt make any refernce to Yngwie being a significant influence (which he quite clearly is). Does anyone know if its true that the Racer X track Viking Kong is an Yngwie tribute?

Its a great track and the playing is very Yngwie esque!!!!! The Racer X stuff reminds me of early Yngwie meets Judas Priest, a bit cheesey however good heavy stuff! On one of the early Racer X albums there is a track called Y.R.O. which stands for Yngwie rip off.

Yngwie became an influence on Gilbert later on. Mike Varney had played some Yngwie demos over the phone to paul gilbert. Remember, they were both featured in the same month GP spotlight column. Here's a little thingy:
1982: I sent a tape of my band to record producer Mike Varney and he featured me in GUITAR PLAYER magazine's Spotlight column. I continued to play in local rock bands in Pennsylvania. My dad bought a big chunk of maple and made me a custom Flying V.
1984: I moved to Hollywood, CA to attend G.I.T. I met bassist John Alderete, and drummer Harry Gschoesser who were also students. We rehearsed every morning at 7am at the school because no one else was crazy enough to get up that early to use the rooms. Mike Varney helped me find Jeff Martin who was singing in Phoenix's biggest local metal band "Surgical Steel". RACER X had begun! I kept a Lee Jackson modified 50-watt Marshall in my locker at school.
1985: I graduated from G.I.T. and became a teacher. Jeff, John, Harry, and I went to northern California to record the first RACER X album "Street Lethal". I used a borrowed Squier Strat and a custom made Wayne Charvel guitar to record the album.
And I am pretty sure that Y.R.O is kind of a tribute to Yngwie and also based on some paganini thing called Perpetual. He had also won LA's Guitar Wars in 86 at 18 years old.
I don't even know what my point is. Maybe that they are both awesome. And they came out around the same time. They did a photo shoot together too. He's gone deaf in one ear, or can't hear very well with it anyway.

I used to practice that song over and over when I was younger. I still love that song. Gilbert also said that Perpetual Motion was used as a piece at GIT to showcase techinical skills and that students had to play it to graduate.

Yngwie did half a dozen or so clinics after he finished the Insperation tour a few years back now. He started off at the National music show, london - this is where i seen him do the clinic.

I totally understand what you mean. My fiance hates it that I spend so much time with my violin and listening to Yngwie rather than with him and he thinks I have a problem and need therapy lol! Maybe he needs therapy
