Here is some footage of young Yngwie playing a banjo in the woods outside his home in Sweden! This was shot sometime around 1971, making him about 8 years old in the video.

Always interesting to see the young'uns playing, he seemed to develop his style early on, although there's also a clear country influence in there too
