Guitar legend Yngwie Malmsteen visited a local TV station in Memphis — WREG/News 3 — this past Friday morning, promoting his May 3 appearance at the 2013 Beale Street Music Festival.
Malmsteen chatted about his new album, Spellbound, and his new book, Relentless.
He also performed a few songs — including "Blue," a track from his 1999 album, Alchemy — in front of an impressive array of Marshall stacks.
Check out the two videos below — and be sure to let us know what you think in the comments!
