Through his emulation of Paganini concerto pieces on guitar, Malmsteen developed a prodigious technical fluency. Malmsteen's guitar style includes a wide, violin-like vibrato inspired by classical violinists, and use of such minor scales as the Harmonic minor, and minor modes such as Phrygian, and Aeolian. Malmsteen also cites Brian May of Queen, Steve Hackett of Genesis, Uli Jon Roth, Alex Lifeson of Rush, and Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple as influences.
I Can't Wait
Yngwie J. Malmsteen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
My world keeps spinnin' round and round
I am so lost since you've gone away
[Chorus 1:]
Day after day I've been tryin'
To find a way to make you see
I - hate to wonder
Why - you don't realize
I - feel like I could die
Just hold me one more time
I can't wait - not for a lifetime
I can't wait - I've been holding on
I can't wait - Tell me what to do
I'll wait for you
Ooh, it's been so long
I won't last another day
[Chorus 1
: ]
The first verse of Yngwie J. Malmsteen's "I Can't Wait" portrays the desperate feelings of the singer after his lover has left him. The constant and never-ending cycle of the world around him only emphasizes his feelings of being lost and directionless without his significant other. The repeated line "on and on, my world keeps spinning 'round and 'round" emphasizes the feeling of life continuing without him - a reflection of how he is feeling since his lover's departure. This leads neatly into the first chorus of the song, in which the singer is trying to find a way to make his lover see how much he loves her and needs her back in his life.
In the second chorus of the song, it is clear that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his relationship. He hates to wonder why his lover can't see how he feels, and begs for her to hold him one more time before being forced to accept the pain of living without her forever. The final verse highlights the despair that the singer is feeling as he states that he cannot wait for a lifetime to be reunited with his lover - his heart won't last another day without her.
Overall, "I Can't Wait" is a clear reflection of the feelings of heartbreak and loss that are so common in love songs. Yngwie J. Malmsteen portrays these emotions powerfully through his lyrics and the mournful, soulful melody of the song - making it a true classic in the world of romantic ballads.

2:45 This is what I'm talking about. It's perfect. That tone is so refined and beautiful. I wish the lead lived in a more powerful song, but I'm still inspired and very happy to hear this.

O mundo da guitarra foi outro depois do Malmsteen, assim como Hendrix e Van Halen.
