Don't let George's humble way let you think that his guitar playing is worthy of a humble stature.. He is one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and my personal favorite.
George Lynch is an eighties 5.0 Ford Mustang, and Chris is a finally engineered sports car. Completely two different styles, but both totally badass. One classroom trained and one just a rock star. I’ll take Lynch any day.
They're both insanely good. After watching George sit down with Dave Navarro, he showed he can do technical quite well himself, but keeps to his own style. If you've heard a bit of Megadeth then you know Chris can also do rockstar pretty well himself. Give both of these amazing devils their due.
Chris is both theorical and technical. You can learn articulation and accuracy from him. George is all about experience. You can learn dynamics from him. I'll stick to George.
Chris's face watching George is also funny, he's trying to comprehend what he's doing in a technical way but because George is fluidly doing all this seemingly random shit it's hard to interpret that way. At 6:45 you can really see him scanning what the heck is happening here. It's cool to see they both can learn from eachother.
I just turned 55 and started playing at 6. I'm mediocre and really don't care. I will play the electric guitar till I die . Guys like George and Chris keep me going. Even if I learn only one new riff, lick or song a year.
@@elpresidente5767 Not true. You can spend 40 years trying to sound like slash or you can spend 40 years learning music theory and all techniques there are and refine your skills and develop your own voice/style. The latter is way harder because it requires effort and drive. The first option is what most choose. They buy a guitar and want to sound like their heroes and play a few riffs at weddings and what not. That's fine but someone like that won't be better after 40 years than someone like Jeff Loomis after 3.
Look guys Chris is a complete destroyer and thats what he wanted to be. He knows every note every mode and where to go. George on the other hand is a type of guitarist who relies on his sound and tonality of how he executes the notes. You can learn amazing things from both. There is no such thing as better or worst. And no such thing as "soul" Every guitarist has his own soul. Chris soul happens to be of a hellish nature, that doesnt make him a robot.
+Konstantinos Vogiannou Lynch is the master of the "Less is More" theory. Yes he could shove 5 additional notes in that space but chooses not to. That's what sets him apart from most other musicians.
You are half right, but there s no soul?? The soul playing refers to notes that are emotionally charged that make your hairs stand on end. There is an emotional impact that makes u listen to it over and over. It's in the way a player bends a note . Then u have the robots like Broderick who use difficult techniques but plays NOTHING memorable or that fits the song. His solos leave u cold. He couldn't write a memorable solo if u put a gun to his head. An example of a memorable solo is jimi Hendrix all along the watchtower. guys like Hendrix, van halen, can do more with 3 notes than Broderick can do with an entire fretboard
At 6:44 Chris is absorbing everything he can...look at that intense sight on the fretboard and fingers...Chris might be a complete player BUT you can see the respect on his face....He knows he can learn stuff from the Legend that George is and he chases every second in order to catch up some stuff...Thats RESPECT.
Two amazing players with completely different styles. As for the negative comments, one thing you have to remember is everything is polished in the studio. These guys are just sitting around casually playing whatever so you're not gonna hear 'album style polished playing.' They're just messing around here so you have to appreciate it for what it is.
Chris could technical circles around George, but I love how George's desire and experimentation drove him to create a NEW way. They both bring something different and amazing. I want it all.
THIS is the type of programming that needs to air on the television side of these music channels, not just online. but i haven't had cable (or watched FUSE) in quite a few years so maybe this is airing on the television side as well? this is what people need to be exposed to and hopefully it'll inspire a new generation of players
The hunter, lightning strikes have two of the greatest sounding solos. The hunter guitar sound (even though George has claimed it was a Rockman) is one of my benchmarks for cool tone.
George Lynch is a metal master.he has prodused so much good music and still does.the legentery Dokken ,the Lynch Mob,the solo and with so many other artists.he is a legend.the other guy is just an awesome guitar player.
They are both great guitarists and what makes any guitarists better is they play for the hell of it not fame or money but the pure joy people like me and many others have from just jamming for the pure joy it brings. Thanks and Congrats Chris and George for keeping the joy alive.
They hit the nail on the head with how music marks time.... I hear a Dokken song and I think about a specific event in my life that happened in 1985.... That's how it works for most of us... I am glad to hear an artist acknowledge it....very cool
@@oaktowndimond668 That's a pretty good way to describe it. His low fi way of playing just seems sonically rich where there we a million EVH clones and George had his own way of making the guitar sing.
Yes, Lynch said What is that ?????jajajajajaja. Chris Broderick maybe invented the artifact that hold the pick but there were already thumb guitar picks used by classic guitar players and Ratt bassist Juan Croucier. You can see Croucier playing You’re in Trouble live 1984.
@@joeiron yeah. but thumb picks aren't the same. it's hard to do harmonics and sweeps with a thumb pick. In reality that pick setup of Chris's is born almost entirely out of that example he showed going from fast playing to 2 hand tapping
Chris is so nice and friendly. I love that guy. I’ve never seen or heard anything he can’t execute perfectly. Mind blowing technical monster… like Data playing guitar
Lynch seems to me a very humble guy on this one playing a very simple tune...not to show off like he used to...seen his older guitar solo tricks and George would play those difficult hard core notes faster then the speed of a bullet...seems like he's spending more time with family and friends now
"Throw some heat on it". Just LOVE Lynch's playing. He's been off the boil now and again, and I've heard some rough playing from him on the odd occasion (rough by his standards, not mine) but he always sounds like himself, and always just reaches me. Bloke's playing just makes me so happy!
When you hear George Lynch you know it is him. That is such a cool thing for a guitarist to achieve. I love Chris though. End Game is such a great record.
The greatest thing about this is that they're both looking at each other in awe... Chris is such a gentlemen & professional of music he respects George Lynch's contribution to electric guitar. & Lynch knows Chris's guitar prowess & technical knowledge... yet they both as guitarists come together on a genuine & sincere appreciation of each other & guitar art.
Lynch one of the top 10 guitarist that influenced me sooo much .Always found those notes that have soo much feeling .It's been a gift listening to his music .Without him I wouldn't be the guitarist I am today .He appears to be so down to earth .I have always wanted to meet him soo much for soo many years .
I never really herd much of Chris but he certainly can play and is accomplished to the max . George was a freak in the day and his tone and style set him apart from others . The dokken album back from the attack solos were all melodic and constructed amazingly well .
As George simply states that he was a "bluesy (rocker) trying to catch up in the VH era." George is a player of his time and it's been 40 years now comparing them is pointless as players and as artists Broderick grew up in the post Yngwie/M Friedman era with more accessible info and climate where finding employment as a rock musician is feasible-A climate of opportunity people like George helped to create. The tapping lick Randy ripped from George that made it's way into "Flying High Again" is a compliment to George since, as you can imagine something had to be both musically and technically interesting for Randy to incorporate/apply it. Broderick is an excellent musician but he is among many these days and will never have the same cache George enjoys. George is to Eddie like JC Van Damme is to Schwarzenegger. Moreover ,George has done more for the average player in terms of gear innovations including standards and consistency. Sure the venerable PV-5150/6505 is an industry standard but the Mesa DR was a more ambitious concept with more useful features at the time as was the org VHT Pitbull. Only when the 5150 III was released did Eddie bring a useful piece of equipment on par with Mesa/Fryette/Bogner/Soldano and as we all know the org 5150 is just a Soldano rip anyways. Before that it was 2 or 3 version of his fugly looking guitar. The orig Ernie Ball design owes more to the company in terms of quality instrument Eddie primarily just brought his name and an awkward looking design. IMO
Exactly, people compare players of different eras when many players inspired others to pick up the guitar and by way of osmosis through readily available, accessible material, made later players better and better simply by their existence. And Lynch's tone is as legendary as his playing. Good summation.
@Yo-yos Tenbucks Music is music, man. Rhythm and melodies never change. I grew up listening to guitars and I play guitars, so I like music made by guitars, but that doesn't just invalidate other kinds of music to me. What you're saying is essentially the same shit people were saying about jazz back in the day. You're the modern day equivalent of the people that said Buddy Holly is the devil's music.
I find Lynch more interesting than Broderick. Broderick is just one of many shredders doing the textbook superfast / classically influenced arpeggios thing. Lynch has that bit of dirt and eccentricity that gives a player a bit of character.
Look, George Lynch is one of my favorite guitarists, and to each his own, but don't harsh on Broderick. He's very skilled and evidently rather versatile. Nobody is tanner than George Lynch.
Big fan of both of these guys. It was pretty funny to see how little they relate on the guitar alone, but then have a genuine connection once they start discussing the feel and experience of making music. Both George and Chris had no idea how to approach each other until they found a common ground. It was fun to watch the conversation evolve.
Both awesome. Chris is super uber skilled cant deny he rolls over most guitarists like a tank and would intimidate most that sit in front of him with a guitar. I gotta say I love what George is doing today with the more bluesy stuff like with KXM with dug Pinnick and ray. I love the more laid back attitude and then pull out a little fast here n there type thing. I do get tired of flashy players that tend to play fast notes at blitz speeds etc gets a little boring once you get over the Wow factor. At the same time though I admire the skill and wish I could have that skill LOL so ya cant win can ya just be happy and do your thing. :)
George is right about people not wanting their favourite artists evolve, I always see people discording about that when their favourite bands go for a different approach.
Great convo between these two here. Just so good. It is surreal watching this as I grew up idolizing Lycnh and Broderick is a local guy who I grew up with in the local scene. Even played with Chris in his band for a brief time. Brief being that I was quick to realize he was on a different level, but he would never have said that, just a cool guy. So happy for where he is at now.
Lots of respect between these two. Lynch was clearly someone that Broderick listened to coming up and Lynch as one of the faster players of his era can only respect the improvement in technical performance that the likes of Broderick bring to today's world. Those knocking Lynch should listen to his guitar playing in 2015/2016 and the live gigs. He's still playing well and fast at these shows. He just prefers to slow it down a bit more.
This supposed "improvement and technical ability" .... You mean the robotic, soulless soloing that Broderick and younger players do??? That's hilarious. There has been NO improvement in guitar playing since Edward van halen. This sweep picking 8 finger tapping bullshit heartless soloing is not an improvement . It's about note selection , NOT technique . It makes me sick when Broderick is considered a great player. If he can't write a memorable solo then he sucks . Period.
Two different worlds when combined would be unstoppable. This is great I'm a huge George Lynch fan and have seen Chris Broderick with Megadeth and before when he was in Nevermore. Love those bands too. I wish I could play guitar with these guys.
as much as broderick may be more technically advanced, he still has things to learn from lynch, and lynch knows theres not much he can teach to broderick, but the experience of being onstage is something that can be shown. this is awesome, from a more experienced man to a semi-experienced guy.
they are both great players BUT there will be no Chris Broderick without George Lynch.. mr lynch is a true legend in his own playing, and dont forget DOKKEN AND LYNCH MOB
And no George without Jimi, Jimmy, and Jeff. And those guys wouldn’t exist without Muddy and Chuck Berry. We all owe such a debt to those who came before, and we show gratitude by passing it along as best we can.
When Chris was explaining that pick device it was really obvious that George was incredibly focused on how he was playing & doing his thing -- then when George was demoing his tremolo style Chris was just as riveted. Really cool how they both wanted to learn from the other one
Imagine Randy Rhoads sitting in on this session. Randy would be the guy with the huge smile on his face and full of questions. Randy loved to learn from everyone, that's partly why he was the greatest guitarist ever to live... IMO.. MEGADETH is one of the greatest band,ever IMO
Weird, watching Broderick with lynch is basically like a fan talking to van Halen, yet I get the feeling lynch is intimidated because of Broderick robot playing. It's sad that today's guitarists think difficult technique is needed for great soloing. If you don't use difficult Technique, your ideas are "cheap" , yet the iconic solos in rock history are Hendrix, clapton, etc... I like Broderick but he needs to play.memorable notes
In the eighties, it was the same argument about who is more technical. Especially with the guitarists in George's realm of hair metal. Just a fact. Beyond my years, I've read countless interviews about how Hendrix's guitar "techniques" in the late sixties changed how everyone played (or tried to play). In the late seventies, it was EVH who changed how everyone (including GL) tried to play. I love GL's playing and his attitude. He's awesome! It just seems like he wasn't having a good day playing-wise. You can hear that his tone is really off for this particular day and he seems a little intimidated. He normally plays incredibly well. I really didn't like to see him like that and it made me feel awkward just watching. But being the great type of guitarist that he is... he was taking it all in and you can see the gears turning in in his head about some of Chris's technique.
Today's guitarist don't think that. Chris is not a contemporary guitarist. He came up during a time when today's guitarist either learned how to crawl or weren't even alive yet. Chris doesn't play like a robot. We don't have robots playing guitar so how can we compare a human to a machine playing? Just because you don't like his style doesn't mean he sounds like a robot. STFU
Who gives a fuck about who's better than who. Watch the video, put your egos aside and maybe you can learn something. I know I did. Thanks to FUSE for uploading this.
my jaw just dropped when Lynch mention he is not a theory guy and doesn't even know scales or modes.. Yet his sounds seems to impress me more than Chris.
***** But we cant keep playing pentatonics for an eternity. Sure they are the roots of out music. But u know we are not neaderdals we evolved to a better race [i think so] just like so Metal has to evolve, everything needs to evolve otherwise there is no meaning
Audiences are stuck in their past. Let's say I found the love of my life at a Megadeth concert, then that memory is embedded. Given that most relationships degrade over time, it's the music that is the backdrop of the good times. It's both a blessing and curse that your fans make your music a part of their lives and memories.
All I have to say is RANDY RHOADS. To this day, NO Rock/Metal player has equaled or bettered his perfect balance of Theory/Soul/Songwriting sophistication/Tone/Individuality/Dedication within the Rock Genre. God Bless you Randy, and thank you for inspiring me to pick up the guitar ♫♫
.Lynch's Evolution is off the Charts,Lynch is Very Highly Technical and @ 60 yrs old Would Burn this Guy with Licks, Chris could only Imagine, Lynch has been there and Done everything Chris is Doing and More! LYNCH is 75 years ahead of this Wet behind the Ears Kid!!!!!! Lynch is so Humble especially when he's like" You expect me to play after that"..Pure Sarcasm From the Great Guitar GOD! Lynch Rules!!!!
Two generations of guitar players sitting together. It's awesome to see how the extreme/shredding of guitar has evolved starting with Lynch and continuing with broderick.
I'm proud to say I talked with George and Joe Delaney of Randall amps, during a demo he did a few years ago at my local music store, in fact it was just before the release of KXM. George is a cool person easy to talk with and no chip on his shoulder! One of my very favorites guitar players along with Chris!
George and Chris both display class and mutual respect here. Amazing musicians and both getting along swimmingly? Great to see. I have high respects for them. Real players
George is talking about evolvement and I agree with his point of view, however I can definately say that he was a better player in the 80s. More accurate, faster, better tone-wise.....but especially MORE MORE MORE focused in his playing. If you see his "guitar bible" video you will see the difference. Of course, no words can describe Chris.....
Michael Z Martin Just 1 issue you those words are subjective and thus have no meaning. I can give you 2 objective words, Technically superior. You're welcome.
How is it different when Brodrick plays a E harmonic minor from the way Yngwie Malmsteen or any other guitarist does? In any case, George improvises alot when he plays live. Gives his performance more versitility than a tech player like Brodrick. After an hour of listening to Brodrick, you cant wait til it's over. With George,, it's still entertaining.
Michael Z Martin Thanks. Ive been a fan of George and Warren DeMartini's since the beginning . They play alot alike. Warrn does the horizontal vibrato too. I wonder who came up with it first...
I love how style & originality outweigh shredding ability everyday of the week. That's why George will be remembered as one of the greats and why Chris won't even make the list. Athough Chris can shred and prob play almost any style you need, his own playing isn't very stylistic. Lynch on the hand, doesn''t have to do any fancy techniques to stand out. You hear just one or two notes and you KNOW it's Lynch. Just like EVH, Eric Johnson, Marty Friedman, etc. it's all in his touch & note choices. With his pinchy attack & exotic notes, Lynch created a very original & super seductive style. He also wrote some great & very memorable songs. Nothing against Chris, he's just not a trailblazer. Not IMO anyway. God Bless!
It's motor oil versus lube. Lynch is a voice, Broderick a method. Both awesome, different application. If George was a singer, he wouldn't fit in with a choir. But a hell of a soloist.
Great piece. George is so honest and so accurate. Fans are too locked in time, staunch conservative on a fixation of a certain sound and want their musicians to relive (stay in) those moments on their preferences. That's why so many are obsessed with original members, as a fixation, as if new members couldn't emulate the same sounds. We want these classic bands to stay put in time so that we can go back to them and have them remain the same as we remember. Really marvel both of these musicians.
Dark Coven Agreed. I liked both their styles. George was picked up on the finger tapping as this was booming at the time. Eddie Van Halen, Warren DeMartini, etc.
Don't let George's humble way let you think that his guitar playing is worthy of a humble stature.. He is one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and my personal favorite.
Two different fabulous players
George is killer
Both are great!
George live cranked is wild because he throws in all those quirks and it's great showmanship
George sucks
Agree totally he's so humble but an absolute beast
George Lynch is an eighties 5.0 Ford Mustang, and Chris is a finally engineered sports car. Completely two different styles, but both totally badass. One classroom trained and one just a rock star. I’ll take Lynch any day.

Not new at all,obviously Chris listened to malmsteen 😅
I love George's comment, you expect me to play after that, holy s***!

George Lynch is a humble guitar God. To this day I am more blown away by Dokkens greatest hits, than any other music of any genre, past or present.
The tone Lynch had on the Under Lock and Key album was so good! Especially on the Hunter, that song has amazing guitar tone
Yes
Under Lock And Key. Michael Wagener produced it. They recorded amplifiers placed in bathrooms for part of the mixing. Screw this digital crap.

George Lynch is unique and has his own style and sound.

George is a beast in his own right. Love his style. Chris is a wicked guitarist. Both greats in there own styles
Excellent. Chris perfect intelligent humble questioning. Just great. that skill is rarely accompanied by character. Great job.
I never really herd much of Chris but he certainly can play and is accomplished to the max . George was a freak in the day and his tone and style set him apart from others . The dokken album back from the attack solos were all melodic and constructed amazingly well .
As George simply states that he was a "bluesy (rocker) trying to catch up in the VH era." George is a player of his time and it's been 40 years now comparing them is pointless as players and as artists Broderick grew up in the post Yngwie/M Friedman era with more accessible info and climate where finding employment as a rock musician is feasible-A climate of opportunity people like George helped to create.
The tapping lick Randy ripped from George that made it's way into "Flying High Again" is a compliment to George since, as you can imagine something had to be both musically and technically interesting for Randy to incorporate/apply it.
Broderick is an excellent musician but he is among many these days and will never have the same cache George enjoys. George is to Eddie like JC Van Damme is to Schwarzenegger.
Moreover ,George has done more for the average player in terms of gear innovations including standards and consistency. Sure the venerable PV-5150/6505 is an industry standard but the Mesa DR was a more ambitious concept with more useful features at the time as was the org VHT Pitbull. Only when the 5150 III was released did Eddie bring a useful piece of equipment on par with Mesa/Fryette/Bogner/Soldano and as we all know the org 5150 is just a Soldano rip anyways. Before that it was 2 or 3 version of his fugly looking guitar. The orig Ernie Ball design owes more to the company in terms of quality instrument Eddie primarily just brought his name and an awkward looking design. IMO
Exactly, people compare players of different eras when many players inspired others to pick up the guitar and by way of osmosis through readily available, accessible material, made later players better and better simply by their existence. And Lynch's tone is as legendary as his playing. Good summation.
that's a bit unfair on Broderick, he is one of the top guitarists in the world. hardly one of many get to play for Nevermore/Megadeth..
@Yo-yos Tenbucks Music is music, man. Rhythm and melodies never change. I grew up listening to guitars and I play guitars, so I like music made by guitars, but that doesn't just invalidate other kinds of music to me. What you're saying is essentially the same shit people were saying about jazz back in the day. You're the modern day equivalent of the people that said Buddy Holly is the devil's music.
5:54 that subtle correction... truly inspiring lets get practicing!!!!
I find Lynch more interesting than Broderick. Broderick is just one of many shredders doing the textbook superfast / classically influenced arpeggios thing. Lynch has that bit of dirt and eccentricity that gives a player a bit of character.
Got that correct, man!
Kimon Matara Chris is an Yngwie clone. He's incredibly skilled but I just find him unbelievably boring
Look, George Lynch is one of my favorite guitarists, and to each his own, but don't harsh on Broderick. He's very skilled and evidently rather versatile.
Nobody is tanner than George Lynch.
i'll say he's not other shredder...he's a 7 string riff/lead monster like Loomis, Petrucci and other ones
Eric Valverde you dare compare the god John Petruccinator with Chris Broderick, you mortal fool?!?
Big fan of both of these guys. It was pretty funny to see how little they relate on the guitar alone, but then have a genuine connection once they start discussing the feel and experience of making music. Both George and Chris had no idea how to approach each other until they found a common ground. It was fun to watch the conversation evolve.
Both awesome. Chris is super uber skilled cant deny he rolls over most guitarists like a tank and would intimidate most that sit in front of him with a guitar. I gotta say I love what George is doing today with the more bluesy stuff like with KXM with dug Pinnick and ray. I love the more laid back attitude and then pull out a little fast here n there type thing. I do get tired of flashy players that tend to play fast notes at blitz speeds etc gets a little boring once you get over the Wow factor. At the same time though I admire the skill and wish I could have that skill LOL so ya cant win can ya just be happy and do your thing. :)
There's a certain raw power to George's playing that I absolutely love!
George is right about people not wanting their favourite artists evolve, I always see people discording about that when their favourite bands go for a different approach.
Great convo between these two here. Just so good. It is surreal watching this as I grew up idolizing Lycnh and Broderick is a local guy who I grew up with in the local scene. Even played with Chris in his band for a brief time. Brief being that I was quick to realize he was on a different level, but he would never have said that, just a cool guy. So happy for where he is at now.
Lots of respect between these two. Lynch was clearly someone that Broderick listened to coming up and Lynch as one of the faster players of his era can only respect the improvement in technical performance that the likes of Broderick bring to today's world. Those knocking Lynch should listen to his guitar playing in 2015/2016 and the live gigs. He's still playing well and fast at these shows. He just prefers to slow it down a bit more.
This supposed "improvement and technical ability" .... You mean the robotic, soulless soloing that Broderick and younger players do??? That's hilarious. There has been NO improvement in guitar playing since Edward van halen. This sweep picking 8 finger tapping bullshit heartless soloing is not an improvement . It's about note selection , NOT technique . It makes me sick when Broderick is considered a great player. If he can't write a memorable solo then he sucks . Period.
Alan Lloyd I disagree
@@TheGreatAlan75 Hey Al, pull your head out of your ass and breathe some fresh air.
Probably the best episode to date!
The classic guitar handshake: Hi I'm better than you.
Different eras. Lynch is legendary.
Chris is a school taught music theory genius.
I would love for them to collaborate.
lynch's face at 2:57 was priceless
Two different worlds when combined would be unstoppable. This is great I'm a huge George Lynch fan and have seen Chris Broderick with Megadeth and before when he was in Nevermore. Love those bands too. I wish I could play guitar with these guys.
as much as broderick may be more technically advanced, he still has things to learn from lynch, and lynch knows theres not much he can teach to broderick, but the experience of being onstage is something that can be shown. this is awesome, from a more experienced man to a semi-experienced guy.
With music, learning never stops.
Chris gave me his pick clip when I went to an Act of Defiance concert that had very little attendance. He's really the chillest dude ever.
they are both great players BUT there will be no Chris Broderick without George Lynch..
mr lynch is a true legend in his own playing, and dont forget DOKKEN AND LYNCH MOB
And no George without Jimi, Jimmy, and Jeff. And those guys wouldn’t exist without Muddy and Chuck Berry. We all owe such a debt to those who came before, and we show gratitude by passing it along as best we can.
When Chris was explaining that pick device it was really obvious that George was incredibly focused on how he was playing & doing his thing -- then when George was demoing his tremolo style Chris was just as riveted. Really cool how they both wanted to learn from the other one
5:57 I know what he means, I tried playing a Lynch solo live once and now my whole left hand is on fire, permanently!
It's fascinating watching guitar players study each other. Like students seeing a new lesson. And yet these guys influence so many others.
George and Chris are both great guitarists, but if I could only have the skills of one of them...100% George Lynch!
George's face when Chris did those tapping sweeps is classic but you see the respect from Chris on who he is sitting next to....
what the fuck was lynch playing in the first 30 seconds?
in the key of z minus bro!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
he talked about Beck alot...clearly he is influenced by that style and is trying to do his own version
Love it!
DragonboltBlastter Random drunk shit
Two of my all time fav. Guitarists
Imagine Randy Rhoads sitting in on this session. Randy would be the guy with the huge smile on his face and full of questions. Randy loved to learn from everyone, that's partly why he was the greatest guitarist ever to live... IMO..
MEGADETH is one of the greatest band,ever IMO
Mike Batio is greates guitar player
great to see the camaraderie between guitar brothers! cheers to all of you string bender brothers all over the globe.rock on !
Weird, watching Broderick with lynch is basically like a fan talking to van Halen, yet I get the feeling lynch is intimidated because of Broderick robot playing. It's sad that today's guitarists think difficult technique is needed for great soloing. If you don't use difficult Technique, your ideas are "cheap" , yet the iconic solos in rock history are Hendrix, clapton, etc... I like Broderick but he needs to play.memorable notes
In the eighties, it was the same argument about who is more technical. Especially with the guitarists in George's realm of hair metal. Just a fact. Beyond my years, I've read countless interviews about how Hendrix's guitar "techniques" in the late sixties changed how everyone played (or tried to play). In the late seventies, it was EVH who changed how everyone (including GL) tried to play. I love GL's playing and his attitude. He's awesome! It just seems like he wasn't having a good day playing-wise. You can hear that his tone is really off for this particular day and he seems a little intimidated. He normally plays incredibly well. I really didn't like to see him like that and it made me feel awkward just watching. But being the great type of guitarist that he is... he was taking it all in and you can see the gears turning in in his head about some of Chris's technique.
@@less_concerned1221 agree
Today's guitarist don't think that. Chris is not a contemporary guitarist. He came up during a time when today's guitarist either learned how to crawl or weren't even alive yet. Chris doesn't play like a robot. We don't have robots playing guitar so how can we compare a human to a machine playing? Just because you don't like his style doesn't mean he sounds like a robot. STFU
Strange their playing an evh rig.
Lynch paved the way for many guitarists, and is a really down to earth guy.
Who gives a fuck about who's better than who. Watch the video, put your egos aside and maybe you can learn something. I know I did.
Thanks to FUSE for uploading this.
Exactly.
Abso-fricken-lutely. Thumbs up.
I love how the two different styles of playing compliment each other while under discussion.
my jaw just dropped when Lynch mention he is not a theory guy and doesn't even know scales or modes.. Yet his sounds seems to impress me more than Chris.
natadetoto00 it doesnt need any theory to play the pentatonic scale
I bet he doesn't even know what is pentatonic scale... his ears can see the color between notes..
natadetoto00 Dont make a fool out of yourself. Even the most uneducated person in Rock history knows what a pentatonic blues scale is.
natadetoto00 All his solos are in the Pentatonic and he says it himself that its the only thing he knows
***** But we cant keep playing pentatonics for an eternity. Sure they are the roots of out music. But u know we are not neaderdals we evolved to a better race [i think so] just like so Metal has to evolve, everything needs to evolve otherwise there is no meaning
Audiences are stuck in their past. Let's say I found the love of my life at a Megadeth concert, then that memory is embedded. Given that most relationships degrade over time, it's the music that is the backdrop of the good times.
It's both a blessing and curse that your fans make your music a part of their lives and memories.
2:56 Lynch is like "What am i watching?"
All I have to say is RANDY RHOADS. To this day, NO Rock/Metal player has equaled or bettered his perfect balance of Theory/Soul/Songwriting sophistication/Tone/Individuality/Dedication within the Rock Genre. God Bless you Randy, and thank you for inspiring me to pick up the guitar ♫♫
.Lynch's Evolution is off the Charts,Lynch is Very Highly Technical and @ 60 yrs old Would Burn this Guy with Licks, Chris could only Imagine, Lynch has been there and Done everything Chris is Doing and More! LYNCH is 75 years ahead of this Wet behind the Ears Kid!!!!!! Lynch is so Humble especially when he's like" You expect me to play after that"..Pure Sarcasm From the Great Guitar GOD! Lynch Rules!!!!
Two generations of guitar players sitting together. It's awesome to see how the extreme/shredding of guitar has evolved starting with Lynch and continuing with broderick.
Would be interesting to see Petrucci and Steve Morse go one on one
The fingerpicking Chris does at 3.20 look up Bach BMV999. I play it myself :)
+Matt Simon Lynch jam with Chris at 3.20 was awesome.
I'm proud to say I talked with George and Joe Delaney of Randall amps, during a demo he did a few years ago at my local music store, in fact it was just before the release of KXM. George is a cool person easy to talk with and no chip on his shoulder! One of my very favorites guitar players along with Chris!
oh yeah George is great, one of best.
George and Chris both display class and mutual respect here. Amazing musicians and both getting along swimmingly? Great to see. I have high respects for them. Real players
George is talking about evolvement and I agree with his point of view, however I can definately say that he was a better player in the 80s. More accurate, faster, better tone-wise.....but especially MORE MORE MORE focused in his playing. If you see his "guitar bible" video you will see the difference. Of course, no words can describe Chris.....
Chris sounds like shit , there is no soul in his playing
Paul Wardinghams
Soul is subjective and used by cry babies who are just bitching because Chris is better than their favorite guitarist.
Michael Z Martin
Just 1 issue you those words are subjective and thus have no meaning. I can give you 2 objective words, Technically superior. You're welcome.
How is it different when Brodrick plays a E harmonic minor from the way Yngwie Malmsteen or any other guitarist does? In any case, George improvises alot when he plays live. Gives his performance more versitility than a tech player like Brodrick. After an hour of listening to Brodrick, you cant wait til it's over. With George,, it's still entertaining.
Michael Z Martin Thanks. Ive been a fan of George and Warren DeMartini's since the beginning . They play alot alike. Warrn does the horizontal vibrato too. I wonder who came up with it first...
George Lynch is one of my top 5 all-time favorites.These guys are both awesome!
I love how style & originality outweigh shredding ability everyday of the week. That's why George will be remembered as one of the greats and why Chris won't even make the list. Athough Chris can shred and prob play almost any style you need, his own playing isn't very stylistic.
Lynch on the hand, doesn''t have to do any fancy techniques to stand out. You hear just one or two notes and you KNOW it's Lynch. Just like EVH, Eric Johnson, Marty Friedman, etc. it's all in his touch & note choices. With his pinchy attack & exotic notes, Lynch created a very original & super seductive style. He also wrote some great & very memorable songs. Nothing against Chris, he's just not a trailblazer. Not IMO anyway. God Bless!
I think this is an incredible conversation. I like it, very interesting.
I often wonder what Randy Rhoads would have done.
Randy would have played rhythm and let the other guy blow it out. That’s the kind of guy he was.
He wouldve outshredded both of them.
The lick George plays at around 6:32 is probably the best thing i heard played in this clip.
It's motor oil versus lube. Lynch is a voice, Broderick a method. Both awesome, different application. If George was a singer, he wouldn't fit in with a choir. But a hell of a soloist.
I prefer cigarettes over cashews.
Great piece. George is so honest and so accurate. Fans are too locked in time, staunch conservative on a fixation of a certain sound and want their musicians to relive (stay in) those moments on their preferences.
That's why so many are obsessed with original members, as a fixation, as if new members couldn't emulate the same sounds. We want these classic bands to stay put in time so that we can go back to them and have them remain the same as we remember.
Really marvel both of these musicians.
Dark Coven Agreed. I liked both their styles. George was picked up on the finger tapping as this was booming at the time. Eddie Van Halen, Warren DeMartini, etc.
im 26 and every fucking dokken song is so fucking relevant to me
+HESHRAILZ SKATEZ Including Lynch's crown jewel, "Mr. Scary"!!!
Man that's Georges custom esp from back in the day. Like the first one. You see the laquer checking. That guitars been places.
