I’m always amused when I show this to a student. Did Yngwie ghostwrite this part? 😜

It took me much longer to get this joke than I’d like to admit. The actual notes were the very last thing I looked at. I was trying to think of some snarky double meaning in the text somewhere, wondering what I missed.

I didn’t get it until you pointed it out.

I’ll have to blame tablature! I’m conditioned to not look at notes anymore. Kidding or course, my classical teachers would cry though and not even want me to joke like that.

Also in my defense, I don’t think there’s a single recording where Yngwie plays quarter notes, is there?

Kidding again. I’ll see myself out…

How do you get a guitarist to stop playing?

Put sheet music in front of him.
