Disabled Guitarists Plays Malmsteen With His Thumb!

Guitarist Yana Mulyana is the perfect example of wanting something so bad that you’d go to any length to achieving it. Check out thevideo below of Mulyana playing Yngwie Malmsteen’s “Brothers” with literally just his thumb like it’s absolutely easy and try not to let your jaw hit the floor too hard. Her is the video of Yana playing the Yngwie track.

Guitar legend Yngwie Malmsteen has checked in via his official Facebook page with the following message: “I feel truly blessed when my music touches individuals; they feel the energy in such a way that their disability no longer can hold them back. God bless them.” Malmsteen issued the message following a February 2nd posting by Guitar World, found below:

“As you can see in the top video below, Indonesian guitarist Yana Mulyana has overcome some serious obstacles in order to reach his guitar-playing goals. The video, which shows Mulyana performing Yngwie Malmsteen’s ‘Brothers’, is certainly inspirational.

As pointed out in this Guit-a-Grip column about ‘working with limitations,’ Mulyana has some very real physical impediments that make playing the guitar in a ‘traditional’ manner impossible. However, his workaround is clearly visible in the video below.
