[@mack7235]

I think a “in the style of Reb Beach” would be awesome

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yes 😎🤟.

[@1970borntorun]

Yes! And Randy Rhoads, or Michael Schenker too ! ♫

[@MercutioUK2006]

George really does tick every single box as a guitarist - can shred, play slower/more melodically, writes great riffs, employs unusual tonalities and always has a killer tone. Nice lesson :)

[@robertcrockett4104]

Steve Stevens doesn't?

[@MercutioUK2006]

@@robertcrockett4104 I didn't make any comments about Steve - as the video is about George and opinions are always subjective.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟👌 Thanks!

[@ingve77]

Amazing. The thing about George is even he only plays "in the style of" George Lynch. Never heard him replicate any solo that was recorded on an album, he just seems to go for broke every time, and see where he lands.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Indeed 😎.

[@eduardosci1909]

Exactly!

[@jayteesgear]

Tech’d for George one weekend in 2009 he DOES play songs different every nite. You rocked this song Euge 🤟🏻😎

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool! Thanks!

[@VaiSolo]

F yeah! Nailed it as always, Euge! I’ve been waiting for this one for a while. From his killer tone to his Gothic Octave, flat fifths and the attitude he brought to every note he played, 80s and 90s Lynch was a legend!

[@torr8590]

The great Steve Vai once referred to George’s playing as “Pure sex!” High praise indeed!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@tyrone9839]

Gothic octave. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3fOo2Z6a7RgqdU

[@EugeValovirta230V]

😊🤟. Thanks!

[@johnpierson8398]

The Sound you are getting in this video is really, really good! Bass, Drums & Guitar sound great! Artist, producer, engineer, mixer, video editor, etc. Your guitar playing here is mind-blowing!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@prosatanos1991]

Euge, out of all the youtubers I've seen in my life, you are the only one I have my notifications enabled for, and I discovered you a month ago. I greatly appreciate your genuine will to help people sound and play better. After years of procrastinating, watching your content has finally helped me pull through the difficulties of learning some essential things I missed, like scales. Thank you for the support I never had when learning to play the guitar. Never stop playing!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh thanks man! I’m really glad to hear that! Much appreciated 🙏.

[@standingvertical3048]

That was pure Gold Euge, the Hat? magic as well.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@jeffallen3382]

Thanks for sending me this link of you doing a George Lynch song. I must have missed seeing it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

My pleasure 👌🙏.

[@andydinesguitar]

Ridiculously awesome Euge🤘🤘🤘 Think l remember him saying in an interview that he doesn't know any theory - blows my mind how that's possible!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Maybe he was exaggerating a bit but who knows 😎.

[@jfatta]

Such a cool vid & playing and the tone is on point!!! I agree that WS is the best of George🔥✌️ Greetings from HKi!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Cheers!

[@jamesryder9158]

I've been listening to this album like mad for everyday for the last 2 months, and it's crazy to see this upload from you!! Coincidence? Eerie? I'll go with awesome!

Holy shit man! You got the tone and the chops.. like always. Killer video, and like the hat. In the style of... ronni le Tekrø 👊😎🤘

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Suggestion noted 😎🤟.

[@steveo4253]

Have been a Lynch fan since 87 ! Also the year I started playing guitar, still playing everyday ! I've recently become a Euge fan since discovering this channel ! Lol I have that magazine.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! Really glad to hear!

[@Serpent54321]

Great vid Euge! Absolutely! It’s probably already in the comments, but, along with George, my other 2 shredder faves are Zakk & Warren. Could not get enough how-to’s from those top 80’s-90’s guys!🎉🎸🤘🏻

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@craigcox1309]

At first I thought you were using that "Mr Scary Arcane" pickup, your tone was very close to George’s. Great playing

[@mikescott5655]

Killer stuff as always, it’s weird seeing you with a Strat style guitar, I like it 🤘🏻😎

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

Great vid. Thank you so much!!!!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@jeffallen3382]

What I like the best about Wicked Sensation is that the songs still hold themselves to today's music. George really knocked it out of the park with this one.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 👌.

[@4Laney4]

That was KILLER!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

The tone is off the hook!! Great job on covering George

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@seanwynkoop474]

I would say THIS IS A BETTER than the track on the album. You have passed what George did at the time... AWESOME just AWESOME PLAYING

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh I don’t know about that but thanks man! I’ll take it 🙏😎.

[@OgamiItto70]

Right on. I've been wondering if and when we might see a video on George Lynch-style stuff from you. To me this song is a reworking of _Mr. Scary._ Like the song _Wicked Sensation_ sounds like a reworking of _(Never) Unchain The Night._ When I (try to) improvise something "in the style of" George Lynch, I throw in notes that would be played in blues solos over a dominant 7th-style progression. The Maj3rd, the Maj7th, the "Dorian" Maj6th. These are all notes that you would play over a standard 12-bar blues progression with those dominant 7th chords that have a major 3rd in them and a minor 7th, sliding back and forth between major and minor pentatonic (plus the "blue note" flatted 5th) but when you play them over a straight minor progression they sound "outside." For extra "Georgeness," put a pinch harmonic and a big, wide vibrato on those "outside" notes. Use the whammy bar, if necessary. That 300 to 450 millisecond delay that George uses really helps those notes to hang in the air even after you've moved on. (Using those major/minor blues notes over minor chords also seems to be a favorite tactic of Warren De Martini. I think he and George might've stolen it from Tony Iommi.) Some of this stuff is the kind of thing where if you do it once it sounds like you made a mistake; if you do it more than once, with attitude, it sounds like you just might be some kind of genius. Anyway, great playing and you did really good with the tone, too. Which is not that easy and a big part of the Lynch style.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

👌🤟. Thanks man!

[@SalviArtzSalvadorM]

loving these in the style of videos!!! More glam metall plzzz like the sound of mick mars or warren demartini

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Noted 😎🤟.

And speaking of, Badlands- Voodoo highway is my fav from that era!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@LorenzoBindoni]

hello Euge, as always great video! could you make a video about Warren DeMartini, the iconic RATT guitarist of the 1980s. 🤟

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! On my to do - list 👌🤟.

[@verruckterwissenschaftler]

Oh Yeah baby, love your hat too!

Great job Euge, George has always been a Marshall player just like you, no matter what amp he "endorsed "

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah I guess so 😎.

[@genelynch3235]

Nice!!! Like a Boss!!! How about Vivian Campbell or Mick Mars?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

An extended ‘in the style of Euge Valovirta’ would be fun. 👍🏼

[@EugeValovirta230V]

😎🤟. That’s someone else to do 😊.

[@HiredGoonage]

remember that time in 1998 when George choked out Don Dokken. LOL. After House of Blues gig in Myrtle Beach, Donny went to the fridge to get some orange juice. George came up behind him and choked him. George's son had to pull him off. True story.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Damn 😎.

[@_patrikjay_]

Great deep dive Euge, super sick playing. Think it would have been a bit better without the emg. a passive pickup addition. but great video Sir

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@crusTodd]

You remind me of Johan Segeborn. You Swedes are excellent at explaining and demoing too😄

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I’m Finnish but Swede’s are pretty good too 😎.

[@russmccrory]

Great playing! I'd love to see you break down Billy Duffy's tones from The Cult. In my opinion, he's vastly overlooked as an influencial guitarist.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@tomigp]

Man, I just watched the original several times. Of course, George is a superb guitar player and a living legend, but I like your version of street fighting man more than the original. Spec. your sound is cooler ;-). 🤠💪

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh wow! Thanks! 🙏☺️

[@altag1]

Great content & tone.! you mentioned mic'ing your cab with a 57.. What is that black square on lower left bottom of cab? does it somehow hold the 57?

[@jamesryder9158]

[@EugeValovirta230V]

On my ever growing to do - list 😎. Thanks for the suggestion 🤟.

[@jesseparrish9198]

Funny how George had a signature Randall amp and he never used them. Every time I've seen George when he was with Randall those amps were never on. He had a marshall stack behind them.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Hard to beat the good old workhorses 😎💪.

[@craigcampbell6690]

Great Video...You Rock...The Tone was Perfect 😎 Criss Oliva from Savatage played some Awesome Guitar., Like You...Sux he was killed by a Drunk Driver, only 30 years old😪Hall of the Mountain King, Kix Butt 😎 Maybe you could do something in the Style of Criss Oliva..The Price you Pay , is Kewl ,Aswell... Savatage 1987 🙂
