Volcano

Volcano is the ultimate investigation of the Yngwie Malmsteen picking technique. In this four-hour seminar, we pore over a trove of fascinating historical footage of the master to demystify his trademark phrases.

It’s the ultimate guide to the power of downward pickslanting — the engine behind Yngwie’s mechanical genius, and also the genius of legendary players like George Benson, Django Reinhardt, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and so many more.
