Neo-Baroque/Neo-Classical
I'm currently in the midst of writing a neo-baroqueish piece for flute and found this guitar player/composer to be particularly helpful to my process. Yngwie Malmsteen is a household name amongst guitar players but his musicianship goes far beyond the world of popular music. Check out some videos of him playing with the Japanese Philharmonic. Mind you, he composed and scored everything.

Wow wow his hair (and costume!).
ReplyDeleteVery interesting find! I don't think I've heard Neo-Baroque quite like that before.
Yes, Malmsteen has quite the look. Another great and somewhat similar guitarist is Michael Romeo of Symphony X. That's more neo-classical though. Here's a link if anyone wants to check it out. (He looks even cooler)

Maybe we should have a "style and stage persona" talk in studio class? Not that I would be the person to lead it, for sure.
