The shirt. The guitar. The tone. Everything is perfect

[@gbalulis]

Super kind of you, Brad. Thanks for watching and engaging! 😎🤟🏻🎸 G

[@chuckbronson8138]

One of my favorite solos that was awesome!!!

[@gbalulis]

Thanks, Chuck! Great energy and bends in that one. Take care! G 😎👍🏻🎸

[@michaelgirard3626]

Props! On the Heisenberg shirt, the guitar collection, and the performances on these ridiculous "Back for the Attack" solos. Even with the presence of vocals, I count BFTA as one of the greatest guitar albums ever recorded. Way to go, man.

[@gbalulis]

Thanks so much, Kurt! I agree that BFtA was a pinnacle of sorts. Those kind words mean a lot. Cheers to you, G

[@albinoape666]

Holy shit! Outstanding!

You are still impressive AF with the axe mate !

[@gbalulis]

Really appreciate your note, Will. Thank you! 🤘🏻🙂😎🤘🏻🎸 G

Many people try to duplicate George Lynch. It's almost impossible because he has so many little subtleties, and it's incredible to me being a player how you nail it every time 🔥 Love the videos I'm a big fan of your playing please keep posting 😜🤟

[@gbalulis]

That is very kind of you. Can’t thank you enough for taking the time. His playing has always moved me. Its a challenge, every single time, to try to “live” in those phrases. Kind regards, George

I'm late to the party. Absolutely fantastic sir. 🤘😎

[@gbalulis]

Thanks, David! Nothing like a vintage GL solo to brutalize one’s left hand into shape. That’s what I always say, anyways.

[@itsianwood]

OMG! Spot on!

[@gbalulis]

Thanks, man!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

[@jayboy6895]

Killer man!

Thanks, J Man!

How are you getting that wondeful tone?

[@gbalulis]

Hey DDG! Thanks for watching! In this case, the 3A channel from the Hughes & Kettner Triamp Mark 3 is picked up by the iPhone mic (about 2.5’ from the 4x12) AND the Red Box out is piping the guitar, along with the Headrush Looper backing track, out through a Fishman Loud Box. Came out kinda wicked, eh? Cheers! G 👍🏻🎸🙂

[@Gearhorder]

@@gbalulisthat tone gave me a wicked sensation!

[@eglide73]

Which of your Lynch models is your favorite and why?

[@gbalulis]

I’ve always loved the look of the Sunburst Tiger. However, despite being different only in the paint job and fingerboard material, the Kamikaze has amazing note clarity and brightness. I am very partial to that. It would be the choice if I had to choose. I would answer that the bones guitar is my favorite, but that was never really made by ESP. That guitar sounds incredible.

they are all the same other than the snake/skull body......... maple/maple
