This is how people seem to think Yngwie Malmsteen sounds.
I don't know... it wasn't "totally awesome" but it is alright, I would like to see how he plays some of those lines, was he sweeping, or tapping or doing Paul Gilbert-hammer-ons etc etc???

I watch the video but I didn't hear him say that, but what I did hear in the Guthrie Govan video was:
:06 Clarence White
:13 Albert Lee
:15 Scotty Moore
:22 missed note
1:00 Cliff Gallop
(1:33 Brian never heard of James Joyce but he was like "awesome!")
4:29 Chet Atkins
4:31 Albert Lee
4:42 Hendrix on a budget
4:53 Clapton
5:00 Van Hallen
5:47 Atkins-esque "And now…the time is near…and so I face the final curtain!" (from the song My Way)
