The New Era of Metal + Classical

Many people know this genre, but dont know what is it Called,
haha.. It's Neo-Classical Metal, dude

Neo-classical metal is a concept distinct from neoclassicism in music.
This type of music can be seen as a direct reaction towards the prevailing trend of 19th Century Romanticism, and of the music of Richard Wagner in particular.
Composers such as Igor Stravinsky[1] and Paul Hindemith[2] fused elements from the music of Classical composers, such as a return to "common practice" harmony and strict adherence to form, with their own unique "advanced" harmonic vocabularies and (perhaps most importantly) rhythmic variety.

On the other hand, neo-classical metal music does not restrict itself to a return to classical aesthetic ideals, such as equilibrium and formalism. Actually, it has more influences borrowed from the Baroque and Romantic periods than from the Classical period in music, which roughly spans from 1750 to 1810 and has among its notable proponents Mozart, Haydn, and the early Beethoven as well as Paganini and Bach. Neo-classical metal treats the suffix "classical" as roughly what most people understand as classical music- the repertoire from the Baroque to the Romantism and early Modernists-, and not as a revival of the ideals from the classical period, as it is accepted in classical music.

Neo-classical Brought classic masterpiece to a New modern era of its own,
as an energetic genre.
------- Yngwie Malmsteem


Like many other metal guitarists in the 1980s, Rhoads quite earnestly took up the study of musical theory and helped to solidify the minor industry of guitar pedagogy magazines (including Guitar for the Practicing Musician) that grew during the decade. The shredding movement was made popular by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, who would transcribe and adapt classical music for the electric guitar. As a result, neo-classical metal developed as a standalone metal sub-genre. Famous Guitarist that play good Neoclassical melody, includes
Steve Vai ( Father of JEM), Joe Satriani,
Paul Gilbert ( The Signature style player ), Eddie Van Halen, John Petrucci( wellknown Speed Master) and of course Yngwie Malmsteem ( Rocker on a sratocaster)
