  • Hello everyone, and wellcome to my lesson.

    In this lesson I will try to teach you one of Yngwie Malmsteen's most famous song: Trilogy Suite Op. 5 from his 1986 album "Trilogy". Like most of Malmsteen's songs from that era this song is a fast and excelent exemple of neoclassic metall.

    This is a perfect song to practice because of it's logical structure and melodic content.
    The structure of the song is (according to my notation):

    Intro (guitar only, the chords are played by the backing band on Yngwie's signal):
    Intro 1
    Intro 2
    Intro 3

    2 bars of drums

    Part 1:
    Lick 1, Lick 2 x 4
    Lick 4
    Lick 5
    Lick 6
    Lick 7
    Lick 8
    Lick 5
    Lick 6
    Lick 9
    Lick 10
    Lick 11

    Part 2:
    Lick 2
    Lick 1
    Lick 2
    Lick 4
    Lick 5
    Lick 6
    Lick 7
    Lick 8
    Lick 5
    Lick 6
    Lick 9
