Malmsteen was born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck in Stockholm, Sweden, the third child of a musically-talented family.[2]
Malmsteen has stated that Jimi Hendrix had no musical impact on him and did not contribute to his style, but watching the 18 September 1970 TV special where Hendrix smashed and burned his guitar made Malmsteen think, "This is really cool".[3] To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Yngwie was born".[4] In actual fact, Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970 while Yngwie was born seven years and a few weeks earlier. However, as the website offers no evidence to corroborate this claim, it is difficult to verify if Yngwie started playing the guitar on the day Hendrix died. Given Yngwie's penchant for self-publicity (not entirely uncommon to his generation of guitar heroes), this claim should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.
At the age of 12 he took his mother's maiden name Malmsten as his surname, slightly changed it to Malmsteen, and Anglicised his third given name Yngve to "Yngwie". Malmsteen created his first band "Track on Earth" at the age of 10, consisting of himself and a friend from school on drums (Armin).
As a teenager, he was heavily influenced by classical music, particularly 19th century violinist composer Niccolò Paganini,[5] and also discovered his most important guitar influence, Ritchie Blackmore. Uli Jon Roth is also cited as a significant influence, as is Brian May.
