TIP A GUITARIST ON VENMO: @TonyFuentes

[@ryusuke_s]

Eddie,Randy and George.It's a miracle that the three were at the same time.

[@MrStudGuy]

I would add Warren DeMartini to the list.

[@MikeySea676]

George is one of those guys who never plays it exactly the same way, twice.

[@charlieswitzer9931]

I got to see him in a rock bar -- I was leaning up against the stage -- right in front of him -- Daammmm.........of course I start my usual ((panhandling for guitar picks)) and sure enough I got a pick .......but he was right there shredding in our faces and gave his pick away and kept playing without a pick -- and someone handed him a quarter and he grabbed it and continued to shred away.....and he went to hand that quarter back and I was almost about to snag it and some little hand came outta nowhere and snatched it. !!!

[@eriklarson9137]

100% - He is right there with Vernon Reid and CC Deville.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

16:43 woah 17:23

[@The_Macaroon]

Like Hendrix and EVH, so in good company. Fine by me, if you want exact go listen to the record.

[@stallownedstallion825]

An American treasure giving lessons on his secrets... Only George....

[@schifrinlopez9952]

He's not giving away anything try and play that stuff

[@jamesshaw1602]

With the clean tone, you REALLY hear his blues influences.

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

Hahahahahahha Teaches you how to play and he seemed somewhat mortal. Show mode clicks in and he's on another planet! Eddie was an icon and a legend, God rest him. George belongs in the same league. He's truly a once in a lifetime great musician.

[@matty4381]

Lots of guitarists can play each others music, HOWEVER you'd be hard pressed to find many that can play George. Simply rare bird. I knew he was the man when i was in high school in late 80's and i have not changed my thoughts. Unreal talent. i would need a year just to figure out the fills only in his songs and solo's.

[@Glamosapien]

How it should be Why would you want to perfectly emulate someones style. It can be a good skill to have but ive always had less respect for players who turn them selves into clones. Theres an art in trying to add your own way of playing

[@jiverdude2775]

I was 16 and T/N was out. Spent 2 afternoons figuring out the whole album. Solos came later. Rhythm parts not too tough for me.

[@gregdrmax]

Can't really play it, because he improvises his own stuff...all of the time. He's just lucky on hitting the right notes. He's even said that. Good for him!

[@eriklarson9137]

Even George cannot play his music. At all. :(

[@bluematrix5001]

Yep, so unpredictable and random..... hard to copy his emotion and expression!

[@ricktaylor815]

you know when George broke out that tiger stripe shit was about to get real.love it

[@BoNajdrovsky]

Everyone always talks about EVH when discussing top guitarists of the 80's, and it's well deserved, but I've always been more impressed by George. He's simply amazing.

[@tombrown4460]

They came from very different guitarist DNA, with George being more from the Jeff Beck and Hendrix line. Both are fantastic. George was always my favorite, although I never really thought to compare him to anyone else.

[@mikeneal8651]

Yup . . i liked them both. . But always gravitated towards Lynch

[@nightshift8249]

Both very idiosyncratic players. I’m a bit more tempted to put Eddie in a category unto his own, but George is right behind him and miles ahead of the other contemporaries in the hair scene. Who came close? Yngwie probably a better strict picker, but George is far more versatile and in my opinion a better writer. Besides them, maybe Jake E. Lee and Vito Bratta are in contention for “best.” But I like them all in their own way.

[@Theophoby]

@@nightshift8249 what u think about warren from ratt then? fantastic vibrato

[@soulschizm2424]

@@Theophoby I know you didn't ask me, but he's a fine player yet a little more derivative than George or Eddie. Just my opinion.

[@mlaforce]

84 was the beginning of what turned out to be an amazing 6 year run in rock, metal and thrash. This album and the experiences I went through during that time will always be fond ones. If I had the chance, I would rewind back to this time and do it all over again.

[@yabo2424]

You and I both !!!

[@reynaerd9741]

I like how when he demonstrates the song at full speed at the end, he adds so much stuff that it sounds completely different XD. Shows that he is a brilliant improvizer. this guy can play!

[@maxmenius9839]

George Lynch is among the top rock guitar players ever. A truly incredible talent whose contribution, and public recognition, are growing over time.

[@HenrykBudzinski]

18:25 - This thumb tap in sequence with the shred is extremely awesome

[@lindsrt1]

George is my favorite guitarist he has his own sound and style of play he was an innovator created his own style of guitars when you hear George play you know it's him 🎸👊

[@MaxLeGrand33]

One of the greatest guitar solos ever.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

I'm one of the guitar playing super fans since 1985.

[@vinnyjamea96]

George Lynch has the greatest style collection of guitars

[@SDesWriter]

I love how George doesn't even remember his own song (he is showing the tapping part wrong). You can't be mad.....it's totally his personality and style to not worry about what he did decades ago (when he was probably completely wasted). He is such a brilliant improvisationist and if you watch his live concert stuff he routinely changes tons of the coolest stuff from his solos because the man just doesn't give a crap about anything but being in the moment. It's a shame because he put down some of the best solos ever in his recordings, but like I said, you can't be mad at the guy because that's just who he is.

[@WarinTbone]

That’s the beauty about music, you just can’t hammer it down because it’s constantly evolving. Same thing for Lynch here, every fibre of his being has completely changed since since the 80s. There are a lot of guitar players that evolve over the years and some that don’t. Bands like ACDC and Iron Maiden have been doing the same thing for over 40 years and there’s nothing wrong about that, but other player’s musical style do evolve beautifully like Jeff Beck.

[@SDesWriter]

@@WarinTbone Yeah, i miss seeing those brilliant solos he constructed in the studio (Into The Fire is one of my favorites ever), but you have to respect that his opinion is to pay tribute to his past, but always evolve. The thing that is amazing to me is how little distortion he plays with at this point (giving him far more dynamic control) and still manages to sound like himself. Just a GREAT player....

[@MusicStudent1]

Some players might be faster or whatever but this guy just sounds good! Whenever I’m having a cold one, Dokken and George’s playing are what I’ve got playing!!

[@davefrazier8627]

George is a legendary guitar Beast

[@Arthur-ke9vz]

When this song came out, I was a drummer, a young teen, an idiot. My friend was a very good guitarist, and we did our best to play this, far beyond the sun, red hot, etc. I love Dokken and George so very much. ❤❤❤

[@boomer8393]

No one plays like George - incredible.

[@vinnyjamea96]

Still on top of his game.. Great style.. I've always liked his playing..so aggressive and stylish and bad ass

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Thank you so much! more coming! stay tuned! 👍👍😎😎

[@jimmyjones9802]

tooth and nail was a killer album....back for the attack 2

[@johnnyhotrod]

George just has the touch man,everything he plays sounds awesome!

[@billyjean2960]

Such a big part of my teen years! Huge influence. I love his guitar playing, lead & rythem and song writing too.

[@by-torofmichiganbear1098]

Holy fuck that was blistering!

[@DD-um4dd]

George just reminded me why i have always like George.

[@artheriford]

George, you are on another fucking planet ,man. I can't play that shit.

[@BFoltyn7]

I watched the first 15 min to get the parts right from the source....and then he promptly RIPS my face off with his incredible improv!! FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@1FeistyKitty]

George was the teeth and the nails of the band - great song - great album - great times -

[@ColonelStraker]

Never. Gets. Old. 15:43 Play over backing tracks 19:37 Fully Assembled I don't give a rat's ass what anybody has to say. George Lynch and Dokken were THE best band of the 80s .. and their music remains timeless. No one can hold a candle to George Lynch's guitar virtuosity. His precision and skill is unsurpassed. I had the tremendous opportunity to meet George, listen to him interview, and watch him play on a small stage in a Mars Music store, many years ago. I brought a copy of an 80s Rock magazine with him on the cover, which he then autographed. And he, himself, was shredded, clearly lifting and fitness training. CHAMP all around.

[@jiverdude2775]

IMHO, his playing got even better when he formed TLM. I can pick out stuff on those 2 records where he soars. He's playing with more technique and confidence than in Dokken. Maybe it's Max Norman's production.

[@yabo2424]

I agree, but lets give homage to Vito Bratta and Jake E Lee.. They also were virtuosos.

[@jiverdude2775]

LOTS of great guitarists in the 80's. Last great era of music IMHO.

[@ThrashRoC]

He is a really Special Rock /Heavy Guitarist , and i Like his Style ..

[@charlieswitzer9931]

He has been one of my favorites for a long time .......

[@joeydeemontana182]

How cool is this!!??we get a great guitar lesson by Mr.Scary,himself!!!

[@Breaker197]

Always loved how just utterly badass that main riff is. The chords are just delectable. Never noticed that Hendrix barre. That's particularly awesome.

[@BoogyWoogyCreep]

Shows the layout of the song for us mortals and then shows us why we're not worthy in the full speed jam. LOL! Love this guy!

[@TheDemockery]

GOD like. A most fantastic human being and guitarist. I wonder what it felt like being the interviewer sitting there in Lynch's presence while he demonstrated and broke down the song. My absolute favorite guitarist of all time. A great blend of old and new back in the day and, even to this day.

[@keithharris4620]

Toured with him in Spain in 2008 as part of his backing band, u know ur doing it right when George lynch walks over to u mid song and says “ you take the solo bud”

[@grants.9701]

Whips into a Hendrix lick,love his guitar style! Dokken isn’t Dokken without him!!👀👊🏻

[@nogoogleplus]

George’s playing is just epic on that album⚡️

[@midnighttornado22]

That last clip with Lynch Mob was awesome. I saw them play at the Whiskey in LA a week before Wicked was released. Was so cool to see a better version of Dokken. lol Oni as a frontman to George was a nice combo while it lasted.

[@tonyp4092]

Such a huge influence on my playing when I was younger and still to this day. King of the pinch harmonic. I spent hours fumbling my way through his riffs trying to figure out how to emulate his signature sound. Mr. Scary, Kiss of Death, In My Dreams... man that was the good stuff.

[@The_Macaroon]

Unusually for the guy that wrote and played the solo, he's actually pretty good at teaching it. An 80s monster for sure 🤘

[@murnelbabineaux105]

George likes to challenge rhythm and timing in his playing style. I love it

[@allthecommonsense]

Basically zero "music theory" to explain most of this. The epitome of "breaking the rules". One of the reasons he was so unique.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Great to see George looking super fit & healthy. Much respect to him from Australia. Thanks for posting this.

[@michaelbujanda8785]

I heard and read in magazine articles that Randy Rhoads was very impressed and admired George Lynch's guitar playing!!! More so than Eddie Van Halen 's!!! Which I found very shocking!!! I love that early 80s era of lead guitarists!!! Or should I say guitar shredders and guitar hero's!!!😊☺😊☺😄😊🎸🎸🎸 It's what inspired me to take up and learn the guitar as a teenager and start my own Rock band!!! I managed to play in a real cool band when I was an adult in Phoenix Arizona !!! "THE VISITORS"!!! as we where known in town!!! Those were really good times for me!!! (1991-2003) Although we did not hit the big time we played at a lot of bars and night clubs and managed to produce a CD album!!!(DIY)☺☺😊☺😊🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎸🎸🎸 And I ended up playing Bass instead of guitar during my professional period. Kind of ironic!!! L.O.L!!!! Those were good and fun times for me!!!😊😄😊☺😊😄😎😇😈😊

[@FordSeniorMaster]

George was THE GUITAR GOD of the 80"s!!!! I experienced this FIRST HAND! A 53 year old "Gen-X'er" here! 🤘🏻

[@jimmyjones9802]

im same age ....i remember buying tooth and nail when it came out ....into the fire ,rocked

[@dubyatf3827]

George will always be a guitar hero and he shows his passion and technical knowledge on songs from 30 years past. So cool and humble of a player but he can' help but shred it once he's warmed up. LOL! Bonus to have Ray Luzier on the drums and James Lomenzo on bass here too!

[@JZA80-YTRZS]

i didn't understand it at the time because I was fascinated by the speed of the phrases, but when I played it slowly I realized that it was blues and came from jazz. This tempo feels good. I was a guitar kid in the 80s In this day and age, we would be grateful for an explanation from the person himself. At that time, after Van Halen, right hand tapping was becoming more and more advanced. Akira Takasaki of Loudness was crazy in Japan

[@Billy-gn6ij]

The greatest guitar player Rolling Stone doesn't know about. The Man!!

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Thank you for your support. Much appreciated always!

[@MM1717mm]

more like “Boring Stone” 🤣

[@The1WhoKnowsTheTruth]

There is one more. Not just Rolling Stone but most of the population does not know of him.

[@dairenn]

I always know when a record is trash when Rolling Stone praises it and when they dunk on it, it's probably the greatest music I've ever heard. This is true literally 100% of the time.

[@bluepowder2008]

so underrated one hell of a player...

[@michaelbujanda8785]

"Wow!!! The tune sounds like a blues song when George plays the riff slow!!!" I bet it was a blues song and George put the 80s Metal stamp on it!!! ( pedal tones, hammer ons and finger tapping and whammy bar antics)!!!☺😊☺😊☺🎸🎸🎸🎼🎹🎼🎶🎼🎶🎶🎶🎹🎼🎸🎸🎷🎸

[@TheDemockery]

I think Hendrix had a big influence on George, and that is almost all blues based minor music.

[@shawdowsanddust5301]

A true original. No one sounded like George Lynch. Guy is a MASTER.

[@Dragonette666]

one of my favorites from th' good ol' days. Probably one of the best from back then but kinda underrated due to Dokken's pop lyrics.

[@jimackerman6343]

Love this, going from lesson to new to old footage! This rocks!!!

[@drinkspecials]

I've seen George talk about not having as much music theory as alot of players. And ive see him looking of feeling less than other players. GEORGE. You fucking rock. You made it. And wrote music that's a part of people forever and then some. You're all heart, articulate, precious and your attack in incredible. You've done more and will be remembered for as long as there are people. And maybe a few armadillos. Love you George. You rock!!

[@jimmyjones9802]

i cant imagine dokken without george lynch. like Ratt without DeMartini ...RIP robbin ...bur warren was the sound of the band musicwise ....jake e lee was good but warren was even better

Super cool. Thanks George!

[@The1WhoKnowsTheTruth]

Oni in his prime at the end was just icing on the cake.

[@ScottDaddyMac]

Tooth and Nail is a definite top 10 album for me in metal. George's tone and technique were so damn great. It's one of the very few albums from that era that I will happily listen to at top volume whereas so many bands from then sound outdated today.

[@MariUSukulele]

glorious ✨

[@julianbenedict9720]

No wonder Ozzy wanted him so bad, wouldn't have all the great Dokken stuff though. It was Jake's destiny to be with Ozzy. Would have loved to hear George play crazy train or over the mountain!!

[@jiverdude2775]

I can hear George in Ozzy Osbourne. It'd have been totally different compositions, of course. IDK how that next record would've turned out, even with Bob Daisley and his songwriter contribute. I'm thinking the sound, tone and attack George played on Tooth and Nail, on the next Ozzy record that became Bark at the Moon. Neither player could do what RR did; Randy was a special, one in a lifetime musician. But it'd have been interesting to hear how George would've added to Ozzy's band.

[@rustygagnon7192]
