I FOUND the BEST Yngwie Malmsteen CLONE (PT. 2) 

For me, Cesário Filho is the best in every aspect, except clothes, jewelry and other extravagances of questionable taste.

What I like about Cesario is that he doesn't need to use spray on his hair or dress as if he was in the 80s. He simply has the sound and it's more than enough.

Cesario is light-years ahead of all the others. Imo of course... Sure he doesn't go all out Yngwie style with clothing etc, but regarding technique he is all there....

Cesario is just miles ahead of the rest. Speed, accuracy, phrasing, intonation, feel, and vibrato. But then he allows all his other influences and music study shine through his playing. Even in the short clip here with Joe you see he sneaks in a sweet little altered lick that you’ll never hear from Malmsteen. I highly recommend his premium RU-vid channel membership, and courses he offers. I’d like to see them have a shred off in Malmsteen’s prime. The man!! Katsu Ohta is amazing too. If I had any other suggestions on who to look into.

No one sounds like Yngwie than Cesário filho, he's Fu...ing Awesome!!!!!

I think Cesario Filho is the best. And he does it right and isn't ridiculous: he plays Yngwie but he doesn't try to be Yngwie. He just implements that type of style and tries to make it his own. Perfectly respectable. And I wouldn't exactly call them clones either but my go-to guys to learn Yngwie stuff are TomShreds, whose "touch" is about as good as you're gonna see anywhere and he always has a great tone. I also follow a guy who calls himself ChasingFrets, who demonstrates a lot of Yngwie stuff note for note in slow motion with tab. And Chris Brooks is an excellent player too I learn a lot of Yngwie stuff from as well. Of all these guys I think Cesar is the best. He can just improvise is the style of Yngwie all day long and it's effortless and flawless. They're all fantastic players though.

Cesario is insane, never seen anyone play like him. He’s an absolute masterclass. Like a young Yngwie on Viking steroids.

Cesario is an unique chapter for the history of Shred Guitar.

9:14 this young guitarist name is Eddy Wan Othman also known as Eddy Malmsteen in Malaysia. One of the best Malmsteen clone in Malaysia. Died on August 2020, electrocuted by a malfunctioning water heater. He died while trying to help his sister who was also electrocuted.

The guy with the red strat has it, completly. The sound, the feel, the vibrato... what a fan. 😂

Cesario Filho is the best, because he can play his own thing and many other shrapnel players. Cesario can do yngwie directional picking or play strict alternate like Gilbert and Vinnie Moore

Cesario is in a whole different level. Dude sounds more like Yngwie than Yngwie himself lol

Rest in Peace Eddy Malmsteen, died on 23rd of August 2020 with his older sister, electrocuted from water heater. 😢😢

its Eddie Wan Othman . RIP. from Malaysia.

Joe Stump is one of the very best!!!! The guy jamming with him is another Super Human!!!!!! He is a guy who owns it 100% & I bet he can do anything!!!!! He has his own look which shows me that he dose it all on his terms which is what I like!!!!! He is in my opinion a top top top top player who needs too be a part of a great band!!!!!

Of course the other players are great in yng-way, but Kelly's playing is very musical and emotional in his own way. You can clearly tell it's him from his vibratos and expressions with certain passages. Check out his albums and live streams.

Eddy Wan Othman died August 2020 Eddie Van Halen died oktober 2020 Rip to our legend guitar player...

Panos A. Arvanitis is the body that contains de ingenious soul of YJM. This lad has the control over the instrument, tone, bends and vibrato technics. Check him out!

A several years ago I was trying to be like Yngwie, I was pretty young, so you can look how it was. Now i made new yt channel with covers of different music genres. Here it is www.youtube.com/@Nimperkas

9:39 why they put yngwie cartoon painting as stage background? Because this was a tribute to Yngwie Malmsteen show, to welcome the man himself, Mr. Yngwie Malmsteen to Malaysia.

The number one Yngwie clon is katsu ohta by far. You can hear him searching for his band Ark Storm too. Good video. Abrazo.

7:18 that picture is hilarious 😂

not even yngwie sounds like yngwie

I find it funny how people hate on Yngwie so much but love cloning him, lol.

Seeing at 13:26 made me emotional, music is not just a skill for the fingers but also prioritizes feelings and the heart, you can definitely feel it

Joe Stump is a teacher at Berkley Music Institute. So obviously he is a giant standing on the shoulders of another giant.

Thank you for the analysis. Your open mind and appreciation and recognition of various elements of Yngwie's playing was enjoyable to watch. Great job!

Cool video, while definitely in the neo-classical shred style, I don’t think Joe Stump ever wanted to be an YJM cover artist but rather be known for his “own thing”. I used to follow him quite a bit.

Joe Stumpf has the Alcatrazz, Steelers and Rising Force tone that brings me back. That's my guy.

Playing note for note covers of yngwie is kinda lame IMO. Not saying its easy.......but guys like Cesario and Stump have actually mastered his style and can improvise and compose their own material and that is super impressive.

7:46 That left handed guy with strings upside down is Man Kidal. He’s 61 years old and still shredding 😄💪🏻

We need a new section,who is the best Panos Clone! Panos as l have said for over a dozen years now has it all. Taste,killer technique,emotional feel,composition, versatility,he can play anything. Really sound guy too,l started talking to him maybe around 2009? He will answer any messages from fans and explain what he uses to get his sick tone,l called him a Greek God back in 2012 and l stand by it,l have to say though that red strat regular looking (Brazilian?) Dude is UNREAL. He is not a clone,he has stunning technique but so much more. He has feel,emotion and an original touch and he blew away Stump! Final mention to the disabled guy. Tears here and this is nothing to do with his disability,his actual notes touched me MORE than ALL the others,l felt every heartbreaking melody. For sheer emotional feel he wins over all of them in this video.

From Malaysia the second video is Eddie, he pass on at a young age. RIP son.

It always depends what one wants to attain. I think Cesario is the closesd to Yngwies sound. Joe Stump playes like Yngwie but has his own tone and his own gear. He is the most sucessful and mature musican with his own rock star attitude. More than a clone. Chris Impelitteri would be similar to him. The boys who are lookalikes. Ok. A spitting image is perfect for a tribute band. The boy with the impaired hands! Wow! A paragon for us all! Max Ostro... not of this world! In one league with Jason Becker. Label: Genious.

3 neoclassical guitarists i'm getting inspiration from rn 1 - Panos Arvantis 2 - Cesario Fillo 3 - Damian Salazar As much as Kelly simons playing, i would replace him and select Katsu Ohta instead.

Getting early into this video, I'm going to say right off the bat, Eddie Wan Othman. From the looks, gear, tone, and phrasing. The best hands down. Eddie Wan Othman RIP

Kelly Simonz taught this guitarist I've been very obsessed with as a teenager (Syu). You should check out Syu next! My favourite song from him is Everlasting.

Both videos were excellent, and the truth is that you should have been included to yourself at the beginning because of all the wonderful things you did in relation to Master Malmsteen. More greetings to Colombia from Mexico. ♫ ♥🎸♪

Cesário is the hybrid of Danny De Vito and Malmsteen. 😆

Been friends with Harleen Kaur on facebook for YEARS! So happy to see her here. Pretty damn impressive not using a pick at that speed.

God bless the keyboardist very awesome despite he’s little handicap. An inspiration.

Stump is DEVASTATING. Very articulate. WTF!

12:00 This dude even got Yngwie's belly too. 💀

The Late Eddie Wan Othman From Malaysia F...... Awesome

Hi, Andrew! Try to check out Norifumi Shima of Concerto Moon from Japan. I'm not really sure of you can consider him as a YJM clone, but maybe if you can check on some of his guitar solo videos :)

I've been watching Cesario for a couple of years now and he just is one hell of a player man, he kills it.

Simonz has definitely gotten the feel right, there's a reason why Mark Boals did Yngwie tribute shows with him (He's the one who sings in both Trilogy and Alchemy)

The late Eddy Wan Othman was in your part 1 covering brothers. The middle one is Joe Burnmark and the lefty is Man Keedal which literally means Man lefty

Now im 'steened out . Ill try again in another 5 years once my ears are rested enough

Joe Stump and Cesario Filho are the two best. Period. Stump's Speed Metal Messiah is a CLASSIC album and worth a listen if you've never heard it. He teaches at the Berkley School of Music. Also, I had my Pro II Strat scalloped by Stump's luthier, Dean at DC Custom Guitars, and it came out amazing \m/

@Andrew-Roz The clip starting at 9.13 is actually a tribute show in conjunction with YJM's concert in Malaysia in 2018. I am a drummer who is also involved. All I can say is I'm grateful for the appreciation! Cheers!

Hard Alexandre is the best reproducing Malmsteen style. The technical part, way to think, the feeling, arpeggios, sweeps. Without images easily you can thing that is Yngwie playing on his best years.

Walter Giardino from Rata Blanca is also incredible and sometimes sounds similar to Yngwie!!!

Marcus Lavendell is the best by far, he is such a good player with such a good tone! Old but gold.

@BorneoClassical > Thank you for the information you have given us! Very sad! Rest in Peace, Eddy and his brother! !

That Joe Stump had been around maybe longer than Yngwie....ha. Hey, why I ain't on here???? Oh, cause I suck. 😁😅🤣

Tab merchants really GRIND MY GEARS.

Cesario also has his own voice, as soon as he goes out of his Malmsteen like stuff he is still a monster

There is one Yngwie Malmsteen in this world.And He is irreplaceable.

If Yngwie ever does REACT videos, I would love to see him react to the guy who basically shreds Yngwie with just his thumb and a lot of disadvantage by comparison. This guy is amazing! Didn't sound like Yngwie all that much, but Yngwie would definitely be impressed.

I'm agree with Eddy the one of the best Yngwie clone.. All karakter he got owesome.. ❤❤

I dare to use single coil with high amount of gain, thanks to Yngwie. Great video review!

The guy with the reverse headstock is really really good but the guy with the red Stratocaster is a fantastic clean artist and the very first guy is one of my very favorite guitarists

I saw Joe Stump playing as a member of Joey Belladonna's solo band. I think it was 1992 at the Limelight in NYC.

The Dude with the disability is 100% off the scale SUPER HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!! NOBODY could match him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alexander Lannerback was a peruvian guitar meme celebrity in forums about Guitar & musicians (Only spanish forums). I was surprised to remember him, he is trying to copy even Malmsteen's attitude.

A few other players to consider.....Katsu Ohta, Howie Simon, Peter Lidström, Borislav Mitic, and Tom Shreds. 😁

Oh god dammit we don't need another one louder musicians than this guy

I think you should look Elmo karjalainen yngwie impressions, hes really enthusiastic for the sound

The first of the 2 honorable mentioned, amazed me, I gotta watch more of them videos for those moments I feel stuck and I say I CANT PLAY. Impressive indeed

Cesario can play George Bellas stuff too...

That Girl is another SUPER HUMAN!!!!! Ritchie Kotzen should check her out,as this is Fingerstyle at it's very very very best!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guitarist from Malaysia it name. Man Keedal, Joe Burnmark, Eddy Wan Othman Eddy already passs away a few year ago..He it very nice person...

I've got some Yngwie covers/Improv style. Trilogy, Perpetual & Krakatau (prob best one...on a scalloped Gibson :P)

Cesário Filho and Hard Alexandre are the 2 best Malmsteen players on the planet!!!

Kelly is Phenomenal!

What song is the guy with the red strat playing?

Wan Radzie Othman a.k.a Eddy Malmsteen n his sister reported passed away bcoz of electrocuted by water heater. Their son s well but luckily found saved...

congratulation for late Eddy Wan Othman...

My favourite are Panos Antonio Arvanitis and Cesário Filho... And also Joe Stump is a very good one....

i enjoyed your video

Stump is my favorite. He's all the best parts if YJM without the cheesy Rainbow songs and he has some of his own style. He's Yngwie adjacent but not a complete clone.

The tone and feel i go with eddie, but for the tighntness how yngwie play i go with cesario so clean you can hear every notes

rest in peace Eddy Wan Othman..al fateeha

Cesario is the best Yngwie style sounding player ve heard. I suggest diving into his channel and watch a bunch of his videos.. You'll see that he nails the tone, feel and nuances better than anyone

Hoje, o @CesarioFilho toca Malmsteen melhor do que o próprio Malmsteen.

Kotsu Ohta is another great Yngwie disciple. Check out his Young Guitar vid!

Yngwie is the best 😊 Used to be a Turkish chap on RU-vid called Emreg and he was pretty awesome, but hasnt done any content for ages.

Qual é a tua opinião a respeito daqueles que pretendem fazer uma comparação entre o Malmsteen e John Petrucci, como se ambos estivessem no mesmo patamar?

Cesar is clearly the best sounding. Like I can hear what all the others are going for, but he's the only one that nails all the accidentals. I don't think even the man himself could have played something as cool as Cesar's opening line in this vid. Joe Stump, though rather messy in this vid, has the best pedal notes I've ever heard. You'll have to search for it as it's not in this vid but when you hear it it's insane. Like Castlevania-style.

I'm honestly surprised you don't have Katsu Ohta on your list! He is basically (another) Yngwie clone from japan, he has the looks, sound and technique. I would go as far to say he has better fretting hand technique then yngwie himself. Very underrated guitarist.

Hahaha I know Lannerback, same Yngwie xD

Harleen Kaur Sidhu .....the sister of MATTEO MANCUSO ??? 🤔

Are you sure that the first guy trying to play Trilogy Suite isn’t Marilyn Manson?

Cesario is a monster! He has that casual attitude and style where he makes it seem effortless .. although I know better.

Yngwie depises these guys that clone him! He said Because they don't have their own stuff they steal his.🤣

That last guy needs a little diet but besides the audio he plays good.

I agree with the number one choice bc it’s SO much harder playing it live, with a lot of movement, and acrobats and still nailing it. That being said Cesario is the closest to yngwie.

the FLAG thou !!! 😂😂😂😂 that is Great Britain Flag!!!! not Malaysian 🤣🤣🤣🤣.. damn... 🤣🤣

Check out Beppe Chiolerio's version of Brothers. He nailed tone, touch and vibrato
