Some people also consider playing patterns really fast wanking.

Dude I like Yngwie as much as the next guy, but he's wanking his fucking ass off in that video.

I respect Yngwie for two reasons - the fact that he was incredibly groundbreaking, and his ungodly vibrato.

While most of the criticism leveled at him these days is still perhaps best directed at his immitators, it still doesn't change the fact he's basically played the same solo for the last 20 years. :/

Also, I think you are confusing yngwie with Chuck Norris in this quote.

Ok, in that sense he is wanking, but at least he isn't playing random notes

Yes, that was some very tasteful, timely shredding that fit into the song perfectly.

I always thought when players refered to other players playing as wanking I though it meant that they were playing random notes,......but the things you learn. sorry for the confusion.

Let's get this straight:

Playing scales/arpeggios really fast: wanking

Playing random notes really fast: Avenged Sevenfold

Oh no, Another hypercritical hater thread. Yes its always cool to hate yngwie

The first video he's just having fun with it and not worrying about hypercritics or the perfect guitar vision for this particular song. Yes the man likes to solo, Its what makes him happy. Let him be happy all he wants to be IMO. lol
Jeez live and let shred people .

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.
