After short period in Steeler and Alcatrazz bands Malmsteen released his first solo album, Rising Force, an impressive mostly instrumental guitar work. The album gained Yngwie a Grammy nomination for best rock instrumental performance and now is considered the bible for neoclassical rock.In 2003, Yngwie joined the famous "G3" Tour aloing Satriani and Vai. Malmsteen's Arpeggios From Hell became an iconic challenge for aspiring neoclassical guitarists.
