Yngwie malmsteen concerto suite for electric guitar and orchestra in e flat minor op.1 mettalum9/19/2023 ![]() This particular thread begins when I was about 11 or 12. Sorry not sorry for going so far back, but to me at least, it’s important enough to do so. Where do I even begin? Well, I should probably go back to where it all started, no?

Happy new year, everybody! What a wild ride we’ve left behind us, and what a wild ride we’re in for still, huh? Only fitting, then, that we’re ringing in 2022 with a flurry of a million notes per second.
