In The Style of GEORGE LYNCH | How To Play Lynch Mob's 'Street Fighting Man'

[@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!

[@badmacbassandbass8118]

KZbin needs to add a fuck yeah button for this video! Well done!!!!!

[@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!

[@mack7235]

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

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yes 😎🤟.

[@1970borntorun]

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

[@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

[@georgewilkins4231]

Brilliant.....

[@jayteesgear]

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

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool! 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]

Thanks man! Really glad to hear this!

[@pdooley730]

Just saw George Lynch live in March still kickin ass! Best show I’ve been to in years!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool!

[@michaelcook8306]

My favorite guitar player since I was 16. Yes, im an 80s metal head. Great job really kick ass. Been a drummer and I can kill this song by wild Mick Brown.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟

[@philzouris]

Nice job Euge. You definitely nail the Lynch style of playing.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@emilianopressacco4547]

One of your best sounds Euge!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@rickfennell7849]

Hell yeah brother. That was smokin' !!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🍻🍻

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@hyperbolekid]

Vito and then Lynch! You are spoiling us Euge. Keep ‘em coming brother!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! I will 😎.

[@kendodd1]

Euge, you always " land on the right note or somewhere close ", love your playing ,thanks for the entertaining video.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Not always but often enough 😁. Thanks!

[@chrisdunn2176]

Excellent playing as always my friend. You make it look so simple, yet it's so hard.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@itsonlynatural1]

You just blew my mind! I want to thank you for your thorough descriptions and articulation. You clearly have a humble spirit and desire to share detail with all of us. And last but certainly not least that tone was music to my ears!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Glad to hear!

[@B2Rockin]

That tone though … 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks! Who knows. Maybe some day 😎👌.

[@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 🙏.

[@btu45nh]

Great vid Euge I always liked George's playing and yours as well. Geroge always had these amazing hooks and chops very differant and personal kinda trade mark. Thanks agian Euge stay healthy and safe bro!😎🎸♨️👍

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks man!

[@craigcox1309]

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

[@Moirchester]

Great sound \m/ Pepita lives again (waiting for the holidays in Lapland) :)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟🙏👌

[@kazabubu10]

Nice vid Euge!! 80s...nice times with bad hairs...:P...a very interesting guitarist to make an "in the style of" is Larry LaLonde of Primus....very unique style...:)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yes he is 😎

[@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 👌.

[@cainsmale5988]

That was freaking awesome from start to finish .. I've always loved George .. thanks Euge 🤙

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!🎉🎸🤘🏻

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]

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 👌🤟.

[@xtanwolff]

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.

Can you do a in the style of mick mars? He is so underrated and has such a great sound

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

[@t_george_p]

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! 🙏☺️

[@honigdachs.]

Euge, you still haven't put a pickup in that cavity. I would understand it if you were using it as an ash tray, but it doesn't look like it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Nope 😎. It works just fine with one 👌.

[@Moirchester]

The hat suits you :)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@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.

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.
