listening to Malmsteen and then this interview, it doesnt sound like Rhoads had influence on his playing.
RR was definitely more Blues and Rock + precision.

Re: Malmsteen
double post!
anyway, Sweden was isolated from certain music, which is true.
In New Zealand there was a ship in 1966 that went beyond the 3-mile limit, then broadcast music that people wanted to hear = "Pirate Radio", playing Black Sabbath etc. The Radio stations were controlled BBC style/Gov radio.
No doubt Malmsteen grew up in a closed society. So, when he says he wasn't influenced by certain players, it is true.
That interview is great. explains a lot and changed my view. I still like RR and Jake tho
RR has structure, contrast and tasteful fills, all contained within a 4- 5 min song. His solos take off.
Rick Beato has some great interviews on YouTube worth checking out. I didn't know Nuno Bettencourt was so good. On the spot playing, no smoke and mirrors, just interview and twiddling on the guitar.
