Guitar legend Yngwie Malmsteen has shared his recent interview with Interactive Guitar, where he talks about his new album, Parabellum, playing in Russia in the '80s, how to improvise, and more. Check it out below. 

Malmsteen: "I've always found that the hardest thing to do is to capture real passion and real intensity in the studio, because it can get really clinical. There's no audience, and you become critical about everything. I try to keep it so that it has some sort of energy. That's what I'm going for, anyway."

Malmsteen released his new album, Parabellum, on July 23. Order here.
