Yngwie Malmsteen shredded on six strings,
set a new standard that was baroque beyond imagining.
The virtuoso rocker was a guitarist's guitarist,
a neoclassical metalhead strumming a Stratocaster like no other.
He impressed those in the know with his technical expertise.
He never struck a chord with a mainstream audience.
