George Lynch- Guitar Bible 1989

George Lynch Ladies and Gentlemen 💯 Best Ever Period 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@wordofmouth7679]

I saw a clinic he did in Charlotte a number of years ago and it was incredible. He didn’t play a single repeated lick or idea. The flow of original ideas alone was incredible. He’s a beast.

[@nitr0_scripzzxs]

i actually met george lynch and here’s the story: it was after a concert i went outside to wear the buses should be and i saw him behind a gate. then my mom yelled his name and he came over and said “i’m sorry i’m not feeling that good” and i got an autograph

[@theguitarvirtuosoforgod1152]

I think George is the best unschooled guitarist ever. For a guy who knows almost no music theory, the level of skill and technique that he has achieved is phenomenal. He’s better than most schooled guitarist.

[@clovisthewicked4934]

@@circulargates7949 Not to mention its hard to imagine Delores Rhoads hiring a non classically trained musician to take Randy's place at Musonia School Of Music, and then for such a musician to continue teaching Randy's students where Randy left off without really knowing their shit.

[@theguitarvirtuosoforgod1152]

Clovis The Wicked You have an excellent point here.

[@donavonmacallister3101]

@Gordon yep. You gotta have some knowledge to play like George

[@ajreynolds94]

I would say George isnt schooled in the way you classify most guitar players who have left their mark over the years. George has basic knowledge, Ive heard him drop intervals and other musical terms in other lessons. He obviously knows what makes things work, but I'd say what's his most unique trait is that he's found a way to make the things that shouldn't work, work in his playing.

[@Dingbotz]

Eh?? George is on record many times throughout the years talking about how he has a strong grasp of music theory and openly admits to having a guitar teacher for both technique and theory. He was most candid in articles and videos from 1989 to 1993.

[@nedaCFilms]

Back in the late ‘70s Randy Rhoads actually commented that he thought George Lynch was the most impressive guitarist to come out of that L.A scene with Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Jake E Lee, Warren DeMartini, and George Lynch. Randy was extremely impressed with George.

[@Metalman2189]

George Lynch definitely got his own style! One of my favorite guitarist!

[@mikestroud9969]

In my opinion George Lynch is in the top 10 best guitarists in the world. He's definitely Top Tier. Thanks for sharing 😎👍👌✌️✌️💯🎸🎸. Btw I'm 60 years old. Seen a lot of them. He definitely know his stuff so talented 🙂👍💯

[@mantelmann13]

Technically George is one of the sloppiest players around. And it became even worse. When he's improvising, especially nowadays using his thumb and forefinger plucking technique, it's almost embarrassing. You don't have to be 60 to have good ears and an understanding of music. George is way better when he knows what he has to play from the very start. What CAN push George into some kind of top 10 is that you can always tell him from all the others. No matter if live or on an album, you always and almost immediately know "That's George Lynch". I think that's one of his biggest accomplishments. He is unique. But top 10 best guitarists? Only if you don't give a damn about clean playing. It's VERY important for every musician. Ok, it's your opinion, but...naah.

George just plays. He simply has a gift and talent that some do not have. Now if you cannot see that, you are blind.He tries to show his gift that he has, the best way he knows how. I get what he is doing and how he does it. But I be damned if I can be like George. George is only George. And give all the glory to God*/Christ Jesus*. AMEN George would be nothing with out The Father. With that said, George is a force to behold.

I've seen this video like a million times, and each time, i enjoy the music as if it's the 1st time.

[@richie7g]

Thanks for posting. George is in the line of Hendrix, Beck, and Eddie in the stuff he gets out of a guitar. "Jacking off vibrato" is hilarious, I've looked for a term for this since seeing DeMartini do it in the '80s. "Work on your jacking off" 😂. One of my all time faves is Tangled in the Web, Lynch Mob. Rock on George! Awesome work!

[@MrAirblown2009]

Back when this came out it didn't look so cheap. Looking at it 30 years later, you can see just how thrown together it really was. Looks like it was done in his spare time. I still love it and I still love his guitar style

[@kotogray8335]

I love the song Mr. Scary but after about 2/3 the way into the song at 38:30 he goes into a whole different set of chord changes and the whole thing changes for me It's like the song graduated into something a little more mature and the solo eases into a groove that elevates the song beyond mere emotional completeness I consider George to be one of the best at using the recording process to refine a song or melody to the point where it could no longer be made to be any better And layering? Forget about it! The champ! Many great memories are tied to Dokken and Lynch Mob songs so Thank you Mr. Lynch!

[@VaselingJeeling5114]

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

He's truly a gifted player. I was fortunate to be young player, 15 in 85 when I started playing, when Dokken started getting big from being on Mtv. I saw It's Not Love play on Mtv for the very first time. He plays some amazing solos and his improv skills are incredible for an ear learned player. Everything fits beautifully and melodically. That's the one thing I was not capable of learning. I can figure out any of his solos, but to lay down an equal solo to a rhythm track is impossible for me.

[@johnm.4655]

16:19 Ahhh... that lovely "horizontal" Sitar-like vibrato. Truly innovative and unique! Only heard Warren DiMartini and Greg Howe pull it off as well as George. For me, for some odd reason, I just can't get it to sound smooth like George. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I think I may be pressing (er..."jacking") it too hard, because I hear the notes of the adjacent frets as "pitches" too strongly.

[@Wyl7]

It’s classical vibrato technique, same thing that violinists, cello players, etc. do. The “trick” is that you really just want to roll back and forth across your fingertip without actually moving your finger’s placement. Done fast it looks like you’re doing slides inside a single fret, but you’re not really sliding if you’re doing it correctly.

[@bags5150]

The WU TANG MASTER. GEORGE LYNCH!!!

[@theidiotwhowaitsforjesus889]

The best electric n acoustic guitarist to walk the earth.

[@brianwaller2022]

FACT!

[@cc_1983]

His technique is his and it’s very unique and unorthodox- his stuff is tricky to learn just because of that. Even tho playing super fast and clean is hard in its own way going up and down a scale in one way is easier than the little Flurries and slides he is amazing at doing

[@vapenshred]

Some people call it the Pentatonic scale but I noticed whenever I would play it, panties would rain down on the stage so I just started calling it panty tonic because apparently it removes panties and sometimes bras would come off and ta tas ta dah thus the pan ta ta nic Either that or he got it mixed up with hair product and it was the Pantene tonic scale . Either way it’s awesome and it doesn’t matter if George calls it the pantatonic that’s what it will be referred to.

What's he like in person, off- camera?

This is it guys. Make YOUR style and attack that guitar and make it play your way and only do your versions of songs. NEVER EVER note for not copies. George, Jimmy, Eddie...all had their own style and power and creativity. The edge too. Everybody is different, every guitar is different, every amp....do your own thing and keep going

[@Wyl7]

Well, that’s the destination… but if you don’t ever learn other people’s songs starting out you’re not going to have a clue how to construct your own. There’s a reason Lynch kept referring to his influences like Hendrix and Van Halen. Everyone needs a foundation to start from.

[@mikestroud9969]

Classical guitar playing. Using all 4 fingers. And not just 3. Nice 🙂👍🎸🎸

[@ChipRobertsOfficial]

I'm working on pinpointing the timeline and variations of Lynch's ADA MP1 rig he was using in the late 80s. I can see one in a 2U rack behind him with his Roland SDE3000 up top, but can anyone tell me what the second unit in that rack is? My intuition tells me either a Yamaha SPX90 or R1000. Also any insight into what model Mesa head he's running through? These questions are of the utmost importance.

[@Ewald_93]

Chip Roberts i am not sure if he uses the ada mp-1 in that video But you should defenitely check his clinics from 1989. he is using an mp-1 in both videos an my favourite one is the one in the class room. He boosts it with a rat an uses the roland sde 3000 with a delay of 340ms and the spx is not used. He is explaining everything. So keep sure to watch the whole video. The boogie power amp you see in this video is a mesa boogie stereo simul class 295. I am quite addicted for those lynch videos where he uses the mp-1. i am a huge fan of that unit :-D
