George is amazingly patient with this interviewer.
Interviewer is a little smarmy and superficial. George clearly is bored but still pleasantly polite. I love when he jams with his guitar (unamped) while the interviewer is asking the questions, lol.
@@boke75 George has always been down to earth. He made a huge impression on me as a twelve year old guitarist. All of my heroes were really arrogant oafs, total peacocks of the Yngwie stripe. George was different. Here was this guy who played like a god and was as down to earth as a friendly farmer. I've got the utmost respect for Mr. Scary.
You know what, George? You were one of those dudes to me. And, when I met you at the limelight in NY on your first lynch mob tour, you caught me looking at your rack and amp set up. You could have easily blown me off. To the contrary, you were so unbelievably humble and cool, I was totally floored. You wanted to know a/b me, and my band, and I quickly forgot I was talking to one of my guitar fathers. Then realized I was just dealing w/ a genuine human being, one who just happens to melt everyone's face w/ his tone, note choices, and flare for drama and emotion, that made you stand out in a sea of pretenders. Thanks, George.
Lynch is one of a kind. He's the only rock player that plays blues phrasing differently to everyone else and he's got a fantastic feel...he's also the only player Celestion designed a signature speaker for as he made a great deal of a difference to the evolution and development of the new generations of players. George is a super talented player and a musical genius
Georgios Karaspyros EVH Celestion?
He still kicks ass and plays with every fiber of his being...EVERY time he plays!
George is always a gentleman; intelligent, down to earth, well spoken and gracious. Having seen him with The Boyz and then Xciter, both pre-Dokken, and talked with him a number of times back then, I've always admired and respected him. As you can hear in this interview, he is humble and somewhat evasive about the subject but I saw him and Eddie VH at the same time in the mid 70s and know from those direct experiences that George was a significant wholesale influence on Eddie in terms of playing, gear and fashion. If you weren't there to witness it unfold in real time as a few of us were, this truth wouldn't necessarily be obvious in merely listening to old recordings although they do tell part of the story. George, ever humble, may not want to 'toot his own horn', but others who know history can: George Lynch is a pioneer of modern rock guitar. For those interested, the detailed and previously untold history of 'tapping' from the George/Eddie era is revealed in the book 'Van Halen Rising' by Greg Renoff, which makes some surprising revelations about the origins of tapping as it applies to George and Eddie VH.
He was a HUGE dick back when he was in Dokken though, he is down to earth now but back then it was a whole other story.
awesome guitar player one of the best out there ,and seems to be such a awesome nice humble guy.i have idolized him since i was a kid in the 1980's
So nice to hear George talk about Jeff Beck. He's very humble and seems like a super nice guy. And of course amazing at guitar. Truly an inspiration and a great role model for future generations of guitarists and music lovers.
Lands with extra poignancy now. R.I.P
What an artist and intellect. He deserves better than daft interviewers.
I definitely see and hear Jeff Beck's influence on George.
Steve Vai is my favorite George is a great guy unique good playing style
Humble, intelligent, and schooled as a guitar player.
Jeff Beck- "Blow by Blow" Please listen now!
"...so you listening Iron Maiden..."? Did I hear right. Pheeew :)
Give the cat some love, guys..
Doug Steele Starts at 2:16. Ha Ha. Thanks for pointing that out! While they're talking about Jeff Beck, no less! "Ain't superstitious! But an orange cat just crossed my path! Wah WAH wah WAH! wah wah WAH!!!
Doug Steele Gorgeous George has a cat, eh? It's just got to be a shredder, right?!! Claws to the wall, Mr. Scary Cat, Claw to the Wall!!!
Yes!! Meow!!
Cats and lynch. Fuck yeah. Rock n roll
the cat had to go. end of lol
boston was the biggest influence to me, the 1976 debut record was amazing. you get your money's worth when you buy that one. the whole album is great. same thing with back for the attack.
Funny, I had the same emotional response when I met George at the German version of NAMM back in '91... I was reduced to a yammering idiot.. LOL
The one intelligible thing I said was "how big are your hands"? I put up my fretboard hand and he pushed his against mine.... I blurted, "my hands are the same size as yours; that means I can eventually play everything you can!" (He snorted out loud :-p )
So George, you'll understand then if a bald guy (now) comes up to you a little teary eyed, and takes it easy on you, right? And while you were making the grade and a name for yourself, someone else (that soon to be bald guy) was jacking in to the AUX plug on their dads stereo, wearing out "Tooth and Nail". The four horseman of the 70 and 80s were Malmsteen, Young, the Priest duo (they count as one as they were both equally talented and unmatched), and ofcourse Lynch!
In as much as you were an inspiration, you were also my demise. You set the bar a bit too high. Never could understand what you saw in Hendrix? Have an answer for that, should we ever meet! Thanks for everything Mr. Scary!
6:40 George always needs a guitar in his hands.
Is this Georges house?
what? plugged the guitar into the head phone jack? i did the same shit man. with the mono (two bands) or stereo with three bands on the male jack. i had some jacks exposed with open wires twisted together. i didn't blow that part of the circuit board.
paul gilbert does string streaching.
Lynch has the best bends and he has a style that no one can copy he is the best at what he does I know if been playing guitar player or over 15 years
good comment, I know that becasue youve been playing for all of 15 yrs that your opinion really matters. Ed Tempesta u are a dork, its official your dork ass comment sealed the deal.
+Ed Tempesta, several guitar players have replicated his style almost perfectly, In fact If you're a great guitar player replicating it isn't that difficult. Almost every guitar player that played for Dokken has sounded more like George Lynch than Lynch does himself.
He's like Alex Skolnick in that they have totally moved on from 80s metal. That's cool, Dokken was one of my favorites.
Stuart Bull, poor poor Stuart. he is just one of those people that will never get 'it'.
Doesnt matter how much he practices, or teaches others, the guitar is a mystery to that dude that will never even be slightly cracked. George figures this out about 10 seconds into the interview.
George on the other hand does get 'it'.
Plugged into headphone jack? What ?
...ookaayyy, why are we NOT saying Jimi Hendrix??
Because this is about lynch an beck not f. Cking hendrix you clown..
I read somewhere that George had the idea of playing a seven string guitar before Steve Vai.
Yeah, he wanted a high A instead of a low B. Nooooo...
Not only had the idea, he actually played a 7 string, but with a higher cord.
Cat: "you´re so boring...stop talkin´nonsenses and pay some attention to me, stupid people!"
cool technique.
George always say Malmsteen inspired him the neo classical or the sweeps where I don't really hear it in his playing. He sounded more like Van Halen meets Judas Priest. Some of early Dokken records had those elements but no Malmsteen. I love George but dude, stop mentioning his name. LOL
Percival Custodio Ever listen to the intro to Paris Is Burning?
+Percival Custodio I've always interpreted it as George citing Yngwie as an inspiration on the technical side of the guitar, not necessarily the creative side. I think George is in a far better position to judge who influenced his playing than any of his fans are, and I take him at his word. It takes an unusual amount of humility to cite one of your contemporaries as an influence. Any questions I've ever hard about whose ego was to blame for Dokken falling apart were answered by George's interviews.
+Scott Ratajczak malmsteen wasn't around when he played that live I think your like a year early
07:13 about the rumor George did the two-handed tapping before Eddie did
Terry Kilgore was the tapping influence of that scene.
shouldn't have moved the cat
shit...i just want to hear lynch playing without the amp...not this guy talking...rr
put it in the right order-
Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
of course Page sold the most records.
+BLAST ZONE 2015 Please !!! They asked Jimi what it's like being the greatest guitarist, he said ask Jeff Beck !!! These guys can't touch Beck !!!
+redhead5150 That's right. Thank you very much
Jimi admitted he stole some riffs from Jeff Beck because he thought he was the best.
redhead5150 God not that most misquoted quote again. Yes Jimi loved Beck but this is simply bullshit.
Jeff Beck, of course
I'm English and i interview famous people. What a jerk that guy is geeez. LOL George plays guitar...
this interviewer blabs too much. He is a drooler.
Hendrix was acutely aware of his limitations why can't fanboys hear them. Could not pick to save his ass.
who cares. Hendrix was/still is, in another league.
