Number 87 Yngwie Malmsteen

Taking shred guitar to the next level, guitar virtuoso and classically influenced Yngwie Malmsteen is the grand-daddy. If Eddie is the father, then Yngwie is definitely the brother of Eddie. Despite the obsession with blues based guitar playing, Yngwie saw past all that and discovered his own way of playing that didn't use the pentatonic and blues scale but played off of minor scales. This was the birth of Neo-classical.

Songs: "Black Star" "Rising Force" "Far Beyond The Sun"
