George Lynch burning backstage

George Lynch playing in backstage, 1985.

[@ironlung7176]

George Lynch is a master guitarist. Hes very unique. Awsome and very versatile. Just the best!

[@louielinguini1]

Awesome! He’s getting a SCREAMING Tone out of that 80’s Fender Super Champ! And he’s still KILLING it these days! George is one of the all time Greats!

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Awesome screaming tone he was getting from that little Fender amp.

[@guntherachterhof4876]

He was probably using a tube screamer on top of that tone.

[@matthias5163]

Scrotum sound .

I met George at a mountain Bike race with his wife and daughter, years ago in Arizona.A very nice person in every way.

[@ladariusjohnson709]

Did you exchange numbers with him?

[@thorthunderlungs5171]

I met him when I was just a kid in 1983. Him and Don both. They were super cool to me and my little brother. My mom became a huge Dokken fan after sitting and shooting the shit with George for about a half hour or so. I started playing guitar a year later because of this man. My all time ALL TIME number 1 guy.

[@mattpainter7488]

I met him too. Super nice guy. No ego whatsoever.

Incredible tone & phrasing with unique originality!

This was Lynch at his absolute apex. Thanks for stitching these together. I would fast forward through the documentary to see each clip.

My 3 favorites.

The best`s forever!

[@Jonathan-L]

Add Vito Bratta as the 4th on that list :)

[@connorclark2805]

Jonathan L no, that list is the shredders of the late 70s early 80s who all knew each other in the LA scene

[@theseloudmachines6737]

I LOVE THIS. Most videos shows him playing guitar DROWNED in reverb.

[@BAJARACER43X]

Id say more delay than reverb

One of the fathers of shred or hot rod guitar. Just amazing

[@jcfight30]

He’s great. Loose and chill guy. I think I notice he starts slowly, stringing-away, if he gets nervous, talking about something that may bother him. Love him!

[@francollanosvasquez241]

Man, look at the size of that Fender amp and how it makes it scream, this guy is the living answer to the theory that you have the tone in your fingers

[@Rikk_Klaww777]

0.29 to 0.40, his picking is super clean and flawless.!

[@adrianlee3497]

My favorite Dokken album is Beast From The East where George just burns!!! 😎😎😎😎😁😁😁😁

[@jackvai2681]

one of the top 3 live rock guitar performances ...ever

[@taperecorder3]

I agree with you beast from the East guitar is absolutely amazing compared to dokens regular records

[@aaronbergAPB]

Great post. Subscribed! Cheers

[@daviddigital6887]

Some of the greatest guitar playing of all time. Reminds me of when my fanbelt was loose on my car.

[@johnmcminn9455]

🤔🤣👁👀🎸🔥

[@bryanmannoia8410]

firstly, we have completely different definitions to the phrase "burning back stage". secondly, George was certainly "shredding" back stage. dokken was a great show back in the day, I saw them twice.

[@nitr0_scripzzxs]

greatest ever

[@metalinl-a1128]

The WHITE MARSHALL STACKS. This is 1987

[@guntherachterhof4876]

Now I see another source of Darrell Abbott's inspiration. I can hear it.

[@Rob-dp3vr]

First 2 tricks I heard were Eddie Van Halen created. The elephant cry and the bouncing harmonic. Don't get upset. I like both players and Lynch is a big fan and friend of EVH.

[@cameroncurtis8271]

lmao stfu

[@ipissed]

Nope sorry, I invented both of them when I jumped on my waterbed and flung the fat chick off onto my gear. RIP my Jackson flying V. It did sound hella good with the compressor/limiter just busting it out of nowhere turned up to 11 in the middle of the night though. That same night the fat chick got bit by my pet cobra snake. We had to take it outside cut it's head off, and bury it. I still have the snake.

[@EricMartinez-dg2lu]

Can get a near tone with furman PQ3, played reverb, splitting echo, pinch of delay in low milliseconds off to one side cab.

[@kamaboko1]

Ahh...the 80s...

[@DanielLee-zq7li]

That screaming tone!

[@georgekolotouros230]

Lynch is a bad ass.

[@RonBasti-zi8mx]

I didn’t realize how fucking great George Lynch fucking shredded. Now I see videos of him on KZbin and he don’t play like that anymore what happened?

[@hugobatallan3764]

Which song is the one that sounds in the background when George is improvising?

[@Metalcop5150]

It's 'Prisoner' from the Back for the Attack album. This was filmed during the Under Lock and Key Tour, when George and Jeff brought that huge portable studio setup around with them!! The whole thing would fit into a laptop, now!!! lol

[@BillDerBerg]

Metalcop IIRC it was an Akai deck that recorded to VHS

[@ratenor5210]

How do you get that kinda tone from a fender super champ? I need to know.

[@patrickbateman7769]

Tube screamer, some verb and a bit of chorus or delay I think (not sure about the other two at the end but basically your typical 80s pedals) course it still depends on having amazing chops haha

[@buddywilliams5650]

A Seymour Duncan. That's all he used. If you can make a piece of crap sound good. You can make anything sound better.

[@kramer8487]

Hey just to you know, Warren used a Super Champ in his first album with Ratt!

[@goathair33]

@@kramer8487 I believe that was for the solos but I may be wrong.

[@Rob-dp3vr]

TheSilverHatchet indeed. All that was missing was someone playing Eruption.

[@johnc1666]

I laughed at this, when i will hear someone ripping bas ass licks with that attitude ar guitar center i will stop and watch.

[@paulpoche8440]

As always KZbin has the comments section. Which I love. In context of this video, yeah, it looks douche baggy! But please check out KXM with George, dUg from Kings X, and Ray Luzier, they are awesome. Metal with soul!

[@Andrewkafp]

Another Guitar Monster

[@RonBasti-zi8mx]

People are even saying recently. He sounds like a beginner.

[@mikexiong2078]

Sad that their old they done their part not playing the same style no more

[@fluxerflixer1]

Lynch and EVH are great , but there is only one guitar player that stands above them all, RANDY RHOADS. I could say a thousand things about his playing, but all you had to do was watch his picking techniques and his fretting techniques it it spoke for itself, INCREDIBLE. Those 2 albums were just a glimps of what could have been. Lynch is great with his fast unorthodox style, and Eddie does a lot of hammer on and bending with finger tapping, harmonics etc, but in my humble opinion Randy was the greatest rock guitar player who walked the earth. And he was just getting started.. R.I.P Randy, we all miss you.....

[@dojooftone7673]

You know lynch was Randy's guitar teacher? Plus showed him a snippet of the tapping pattern for "Too high to fly" before the song was even a idea. Just saying.

[@JeremyHarrisMusic138]

Lynch is way better

[@ericscottstevens]

His sound is like case of Marshallob-Lite during this time, George's amplifiers did not have the punch of say what a Randy Rhoads setup could deliver.

[@thorthunderlungs5171]

Haha dream on kid. Lynch has a way more of a unique guitar style than EVH

[@BillDerBerg]

Most of the time George's licks sound like he's stepping on a cat

[@nikikovacs1923]

More like a burning pet shop.

Seem to remember reading that Nuno said George's guitar rig sounded like a cat in a meat grinder, but in a good way.

[@97warlock]

It lacks feeling overall. Sure hes fast. And I know that was big in those days ....... but as long as I can remember thats how he plays. Take Dimebag ........... He had more than Double the soul & feel in his playing than George did, PLUS the speed when needed. Plus took the squeels to a whole new level.

[@_vixen_4504]

What the heck are you talking about Dimebag having more feeling than Lynch What a joke Dimebag was good but Lynch had way and has more feeling in his playing than Dimebag had.
