This video takes me back to the 80s… when shredders ruled the world. The name of the guitarist is Oziel Zinho. He’s from Brazil and I guess he’s very popular down there.

The song was originally performed by Yngwie J. Malmsteen.

Far Beyond The Sun is from the album Rising Force. It was released in 1984 and was winner of Guitar Player Magazine’s Best Rock Album. Rising Force was also nominated for a Grammy for “Best Rock Instrumental”. It made it to number 60 on the Billboard album chart.

Yngwie Malmsteen is recognized for his extraordinary guitar skills. Malmsteen achieved widespread acclamation in the 1980s for his technical expertise and his pioneering of the shred guitar and neo-classical techniques.
