Yngwie J. Malmsteen - Far Beyond The Sun

Theres little more thrilling than seeing someone at the very top of their talents, be it sportsman, artist or musician... and when it comes to the latter, its hard to think of any musician more at one with their chosen weapon (the Fender Stratocaster) than Yngwie J Malmsteen.

Inspired by the flamboyance of Hendrix, the digitally dexterous swede started out playing in bands but it wasn't long before he was putting his name to line-ups skilled enough to support a six-string style that leans as much towards the world of classical music as that of rock. In the course of an ongoing career that encompasses ground breaking music, global gigging, award winning albums, and as many front covers and critical backslaps as one lifetime can sensibly handle, Yngwie has virtually reinvented the guitar as an instrument to be seen with, as this collection of classic live footage, promo clips and brand new bonus features clearly demonstrates.
