From War to End All Wars (2000). War to End All Wars is the thirteenth studio album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released on 7 November 2000 through Pony Canyon (Japan), Spitfire Records (United States) and DreamCatcher Records (Europe). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Stratocaster through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Yngwie Malmsteen's other songs from War to End All Wars, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
