There are a lot of shredder and great guitar players and technicians on RUclips and Instagram. Truthfully if they were on a song I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from anybody. There’s two sides to guitar. One is the technical ability, and the other is the art. There aren’t many that I can tell who they are by a couple of notes in a solo.

Toured with him as his backing band in Spain in 2008, playing both dokken stuff and his own material, u have no idea how good a player he was then, and still is....... even his warm-ups were sensational!
Lynch and Dimartini just optimized the LA sound in the mid 80s. This liquid, spilling, effortless, sexy style was so distinct. Cool, bluesy, but with all these unexpected notes borrowed from different scales; ending phrases on sharp 4s, mixed with major 3rds... in minor keys... Just a great era of guitar. Thanks for uploading this.
Couldn’t have said better myself. What badass chat to be in. George has meant a lot to my playing. Incredible thinking about the influences & timing of life for George to pick the strings up & the journey to tame the axe like he does in this video. RUclips does have some amazing content. Happy to discover some Lynch studio sessions. 👍🏼🎸🔥😎
Totally, guy knew his stuff which made it so fun to listen to. I think a lot ppl kinda roll their eyes at players like this, other musician even, saying it’s all a bunch flash no feel, but they just don’t get it and that’s ok.
While Dimartini and Lynch are both excellent players, I like Lynch’s tone much more. Dimartini’s tone is weak compared to Lynch’s. Dimartini insisted on playing with a ton of mids, moderate treble, and virtually no bass. Lynch’s tone has a much better balance and cuts through the mix.
I don't think George realizes how many people would buy an instrumental album of him playing like this...like he did back in the day. I certainly would, it's just so captivating and unique. Truly one of the greats!
I missed seeing him with Dokken, but got to see him in a small club about 8 years ago with Lynch Mob. Stood literally 2 feet from me playing like this... with him being my ulimate guitar hero, I can't even explain how awesome that was...
I saw him with Dokken on their Dysfunctional tour - at a night club. I was right up against the stage, watching the singer make comments about Lynch having to keep re-tuning, and giving dirty looks back at Don...😅
I turned 21 in the early 2000s it was a great time for anyone who was too young to see these bands in the late 80s or early 90s. I happy I got a chance to see all my favorite bands from 2 feet away in the small clubs and meet and talk to them after the show.
"that never got a break" huh? It was released, had radio play, video, It just wasn't as impressive and valued as you think it is. He plays flurries of notes and pinches the last one and bend vibes it......over and over. slides into and out of most of it. Not really ground breaking unless you've never heard it before. evh was groundbreaking, Bettencourt etc.
@@robertboyland170 a bad note literally doesn’t come out of the man’s fingers. The best thing about George’s fan base is just how much we all truly love him. Lol
Unless you're wearing headphones, you're only gonna hear a guitar that sounds like well..... an electric guitar that ain't plugged in. What you see here is all theatrics, no audio tech is gonna be in the same room where the artist is and no artist is gonna want a gawddamn camera zooming in on his space. This is a promo spot, probably for getting George some work after Dokken, maybe in an effort so he wouldn't hafta leave L.A. for Nashville, cut his hair and wear a mesh back trucker's hat so he'd blend on Music Row. Last I heard, George was swinging a hammer on a construction crew.... and wearing a mesh back trucker's hat.
George Lynch’s tone, phrasing and dexterity make his sound the most unique and identifiable in Rock history. No one before and no one after captures moods like him. Truly one of a kind. Truly great.
The thing that always stuck out to me was how fearless George was. He has this fucking edge to his playing, this attitude i've only heard a few other players have
One of the first and best of the 80's "SHREDDERS". Many came after, and many failed. He had his only style and voice. Amazing soul filled vibrato, and note bends to be schooled by in awe.
Lynch going off. The early years to the Wicked Sensation era George was definetly in attack mode. One of my favorite guitarists. Unique style and sound. Tone is undeniable George Lynch.
George at his peak. His playing on this gives me chills! He was so incredibly fresh for the time. I've always thought that he was every bit as innovative and unique as Eddie (RIP amigo, I miss you). I wish that he would have done more of an instrumental series of albums kind of in the vein of Mr. Scary. Man...he looked so young in this video (then again, so did I when this was new). Also, Max Norman is an absolute legend. He produced and engineered some of the very best musical performances in the history of music.
I'm not a guitarist. I carve headstones in cemeteries. I have loved and enjoyed his music for more than 30 years. I got the honor of telling him that last year after a Lynch Mob concert. He was such a cool, humble guy in his (our) old age. Thanks again, George!

Tell me how that’s underrated.

@ Jeff, I was just gonna leave a message above saying IMO he was at his cleanest & fastest at this point.

Man I miss the late 80's. I was in my late teens and I ate, crapped & slept guitar. There was NO better time to be a guitarist and killer Hard Rock music was all around you. From Radio to Mtv, you couldn't escape it if you wanted to. Rock On Brother!
6:08 In just ONE NOTE George's sound is epitomized. UNGODLY. So immediately recognizable. Brings a smile to my weary face. In another 30 years from now I will be 80 (if we all make it that far) and someone could play just this one single pinched and bent note, with the harmonics, and that tone and, through my wheezing, I will yell out "THAT'S MY MAN GEORGE PLAYING!"
I'm glad someone else thinks that!! Just tasty the guy brims of taste, style, tone ,phrasing,, those harmonics... unmistakeable, its The great George Lynch.
The sheer number of high-speed techniques he plays in just seconds is incredible!! Uses all 4 fingers and flows from one mood to another effortlessly! I love George's playing!
Lynch is one of my all time favs, wish he would get back to this style and tone for a new generation of guitarists to enjoy, he was so good at inspiring people to start playing.
@@thecentralscrutinizerr MTV died decades ago when they decided the M part of their name was not a priority. That's what happens when corporate assholes take over organizations (see Gibson and Fender Guitars). Then all the other versions did the same. Mainstream Television is complete horse shit.
I love George Lynch’s tone ! That Marshall snarl meets the legendary Soldano’s searing screams tone is unbelievable ! His phrasing and the proper amount of pinch harmonics make his Guitar playing exquisitely standout among any other shredder’s style from that era. The guy is beast !
Grew up on Dokken. Under Lock & Key and Back For The Attack are Dokken perfection. That being said, the first 2 Lynch Mob albums trump all things Dokken to me. And being a massive King's X fan, the KXM albums are great too. Lynch just keeps evolving and I love every era of what he's done.
It never gets old watching this footage, this was the album that basically lay down the foundation of my playing. for the most part. I have the original REHVHS tape of this. It never gets old, seeing George, at its finest.
I've been coming back to this videos once in a while in the past 10 years. Lynch's tone and phrassing is in a league of his own. What an amazing guitar player!
Great reference video, if anyone who might not know ever asks "what's the big deal about George Lynch" refer them to this video! This is such a great display of this man "on fire" monster tone and technique making you feel every note so masterfully played, This was the age of the guitar hero and George had a voice all his own. You knew when you heard him, it was "Mr Scary"
3:29 the way he "walks out" of that solo so casually, to perfectly land in the riff again... gah damn. This really was his absolute peak. Back when he came up with amazing stuff on the spot.
You know that guitar was perfect for the sustained and haunting leads he was doing back then in 1990. We had nothing back then but books and VHS tapes. I always loved his guitar style. The super sustain harmonic screams just adds to the eeriness and his chord and scale knowledge .
Man no one is talking about the background music. Wish it would’ve sounded like this, the snare sounds so natural and unprocessed and on the album there’s a sample thrown on it. Oh well. Solos are amazing as usual. And especially at 7:30 holy shit
Whooooooo wheeeeee. Man I'm sweating watching that solo at the beginning. Brooooooo. I dont know what to say.. it was groovy, bluesy, rock and roll and absolute shred material.. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟💯💯💯
Love it!!! Would actually love to see some of him laying down the rhythm tracks!! This album has some great chordal movement and structure! One thing with the great players is that their rhythm playing is often more interesting than the soloing! EVH is a great example.... Vai ( not as into his solos which are amazing but some of his rhthym comps are brilliant)

I miss this era of Lynch so desperately. He was on fire at that time. The absolute PEAK of tone and playing.
word man. the absolute pinnacle
Yup. For sure. That unmistakable tone was on fire!
Today his sound is little strange. But this is good stuff.
I was working at guitar center back when the GSP 21 rack processor had all those player settings. I'd put on the Lynch presets and any and be standing there going "wow" those tones were epic.
Yep, His best album by far. Great song writing, great playing and great tone. Lynch at his best by miles.
This is pure gold. He's one of a handful of players where you know it's him 5 seconds in. Legend.

6:08 In just ONE NOTE George's sound is epitomized. UNGODLY. So immediately recognizable. Brings a smile to my weary face.
In another 30 years from now I will be 80 (if we all make it that far) and someone could play just this one single pinched and bent note, with the harmonics, and that tone and, through my wheezing, I will yell out "THAT'S MY MAN GEORGE PLAYING!"
3:56 one of the tastiest licks of all time
I'm glad someone else thinks that!! Just tasty the guy brims of taste, style, tone ,phrasing,, those harmonics... unmistakeable, its The great George Lynch.
Ah a man of culture
Starting then and running 5-8 seconds after he plays such a funky groove on the run he does. PERFECTION.
Yeah, nice. Reminds me a bit of Leslie West
Hrumph. Well played.
You've got to be special to sound different in this genre, this is mind-blowing.
The sheer number of high-speed techniques he plays in just seconds is incredible!! Uses all 4 fingers and flows from one mood to another effortlessly! I love George's playing!

Or Guthrie Govan. The greats never run out of the rocket fuel....
…and without chipping his nails much either.
I remember the days when KNAC would play Wicked Sensation it seemed like once an hour. I miss those times.
I think I was 12 at the time and all I wanted to be was a shredder. Such awesome times
Two seconds....that´s all it takes to realize it´s him playing....his style is unique.
Lynch is one of my all time favs, wish he would get back to this style and tone for a new generation of guitarists to enjoy, he was so good at inspiring people to start playing.
This is the music I grew up with. This era of rock & metal ruled and there hasn't been anything like it since. Love live the 80's!
The Headbangers Ball put MTV on the map. Now is just a pile of stinking horseshit.
@@thecentralscrutinizerr MTV died decades ago when they decided the M part of their name was not a priority. That's what happens when corporate assholes take over organizations (see Gibson and Fender Guitars). Then all the other versions did the same. Mainstream Television is complete horse shit.
Just insane guitar work! This man is a living legend
George and his freakishly long pinky finger flogging that wide vibrato and reaching for those wide intervals...
Rumor has it that he replaced his left pinky with his right middle finger and vice-versa lol
He is one of the cleanest guitar players of the 80s. Every note is clear and crisp.
This should be something they show in music classes in every school
I love George Lynch’s tone ! That Marshall snarl meets the legendary Soldano’s searing screams tone is unbelievable ! His phrasing and the proper amount of pinch harmonics make his Guitar playing exquisitely standout among any other shredder’s style from that era. The guy is beast !
Yeah. George said in an interview that a Marshall/ Soldano combination was his favorite tone.
Wicked Sensation was a kickass metal record.If he had put that out just a few years earlier its impact would have been more massive than it was.
One of the best rock albums ever made! Every song on it is excellent!
Grew up on Dokken. Under Lock & Key and Back For The Attack are Dokken perfection. That being said, the first 2 Lynch Mob albums trump all things Dokken to me. And being a massive King's X fan, the KXM albums are great too. Lynch just keeps evolving and I love every era of what he's done.
I have this VHS laying around somewhere. Still as crazy good as it was when I bought it in the 90's.
Simply amazing.
What I love about george is he always changes his solos and is creative never stays the same which is amazing and it’s hard for guitarists to do this.
George is one of the greats, sadly people overlook his incredible talent.
He’s such a pioneer. What a badass.
It never gets old watching this footage, this was the album that basically lay down the foundation of my playing. for the most part. I have the original REHVHS tape of this. It never gets old, seeing George, at its finest.
Lynch Mob CD is going on this afternoon 💪
Those legato style trills like 3:51 have always been one of the hallmarks of his playing. So unique and tasteful.
such a distinct style...I spent quite a bit of time with them on the "Back for the Attack" tour; George is indeed, a magician
I've been coming back to this videos once in a while in the past 10 years. Lynch's tone and phrassing is in a league of his own. What an amazing guitar player!
George was always on fire back then, man how I miss those days. He sounds awesome.
Great reference video, if anyone who might not know ever asks "what's the big deal about George Lynch" refer them to this video! This is such a great display of this man "on fire" monster tone and technique making you feel every note so masterfully played,
This was the age of the guitar hero and George had a voice all his own.
You knew when you heard him, it was "Mr Scary"
3:29 the way he "walks out" of that solo so casually, to perfectly land in the riff again... gah damn. This really was his absolute peak. Back when he came up with amazing stuff on the spot.
Incredible George..never get tired of listening to you !!! Keep it up my friend !!
The all I want solo was absolutely incredible
You know that guitar was perfect for the sustained and haunting leads he was doing back then in 1990. We had nothing back then but books and VHS tapes. I always loved his guitar style. The super sustain harmonic screams just adds to the eeriness and his chord and scale knowledge .
if I had to listen to George lynch or warren demartini just play solos for hours,I would be happy
Tone and style. Tastiness.
Same, my two favorite players
Fingertip lightning he is a legend I get Shivers up and down my spine when he plays!
He was on another planet about that time.. just brutally awesome, and amazing tone
This man was and still is a damn guitar savage!!!! Hell yes!!!!!

@@hotrd91614 he's a freakin beast for sure
Man no one is talking about the background music. Wish it would’ve sounded like this, the snare sounds so natural and unprocessed and on the album there’s a sample thrown on it. Oh well. Solos are amazing as usual. And especially at 7:30 holy shit
Freaking amazing! Go George!
Whooooooo wheeeeee. Man I'm sweating watching that solo at the beginning. Brooooooo. I dont know what to say.. it was groovy, bluesy, rock and roll and absolute shred material.. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟💯💯💯
👍👍
His soloing is like endless outer space journey. This is really scary.
He wasn't known as "Mr. Scary" for nothing!
Love Lynch!! The tone Master!!
One of the best EVER!!!His technical riffs, WOW,JUST WOW!!!!
Wow!!! That tone! And his playing is amazing!!!🙌🔥
I love that there's a "guitar coach" listed in the credits.
The phrasing...THE PHRASING!!!!
Love it!!! Would actually love to see some of him laying down the rhythm tracks!! This album has some great chordal movement and structure!
One thing with the great players is that their rhythm playing is often more interesting than the soloing! EVH is a great example.... Vai ( not as into his solos which are amazing but some of his rhthym comps are brilliant)
Gotta love those’80’s Soldano heads… Massive sound!!
