George Lynch in the studio

Here George works on some solos for the first Lynch mob record. Outstanding!

[@finans1]

Probably the best soloing i have ever heard...and the most exiting soloing ever recorded. I wish he would have kept this style...my god he´s a master.....the feel is amazing

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

finn André Hovde there are players that hit peaks and then they sort of forget how to repeat that, marty friedman in megadeth was another genious how in soloist form seems to me to be a shadow of his former megadeth self

[@hot2warm]

When people look back on the 80s era guitarists, I think Lynch will emerge as the one whose work stands the test of time. He will be the legendary guitarist people talk about. One reason I say this is not only did he do phenomenal work with Dokken and as a solo artist, but he has worked with so many other musicians during his time. Most of his contemporaries have only worked within the confines of a couple bands at best.

[@jimbojones4164]

Doubt it. His stuff isn't up to par with the modern guitar heros.

[@Charvel86]

@@jimbojones4164 Nah, Lynch has tone/style no one else has

[@jeffkressner9691]

Holy shit! The solo in River of Love is pure genius. Lynch was untouchable during this era and I would have put him up against any guitarist on the planet. He is still an unbelievable talent to this day.

[@1norville]

That guitar alone kicks so much ass it's immeasurable.

[@carolynsallinger3590]

Joe R. I have that very one except I got it with black headstock -reversed kamikaze.GL Screamin Demon pickup.Quilted maple with see-thru orange paint.

[@Broadfieldpoint]

Simply the greatest rock soloist of my generation. yeah, there is Yngwie and EVH....this guy is on the top of the heap. Feel, raw....and uncompromising. The best guitar player to ever come out of LA in the 80's. IMO

[@stevekimmel3841]

Randy,George is great

[@MichaelSimmons.]

I've been a big fan of George Lynch for many years. He's one of the all-time best. His style is original. His solos are hard and melodic. While most guitarist are trying to show you how many notes they can play in 30 seconds or less, George Lynch is making music.

[@gravics]

I never tire of this man's superlative skills. An amazing musician.

[@mikecard3860]

How awsome is his playing and tone here!! I still have this on VCR 2019

[@lanceross3633]

Randy Rhoads & George... Max Norman captures the perfect tones-WOW!!!!!!

[@mitchcoull6290]

An absolute kick ass album. I just wish George actually kept all these takes we hear here for each of the songs, they are absolutely flawless.

[@stevetauscher590]

George lynch is the man I watch this when I got to get recharged in my chops this is the best studio jam.hes the best in the world..

[@Davefranzin]

I think that George Lynch is one of the few guitarists to have a truly original phrasing .... three notes and recognize him ( and killer gear tone....)

[@toxicdooney]

I don't see how you can dislike this video. George Lynch has more creativity on the guitar then any other rock guitarist to date.

[@cdaniel5150]

This shirt makes me cry! 20 years I've played, and loved,and seen George perform. I'll never be able to play the way Georges style has touched, shaped, and amazed my musical inner soul. His string attack is one something I can truly say I love.

[@cyclopsvideo1]

Shit,george has more class and feeling in his playing than most guitarists have with their pinky.Licks for days.

[@GORDITO1000]

He is very gifted. Every guitar player at all levels brings something to the studio/stage. But GL...man o man....its an honor to watch him play. Glad I rock n rolled thru the 80's-90's and saw him live a couple of times. His new band Souls of We is awesome! Lynch and London make a great team. Hope they tour again soon.

[@evelskunny]

one of the most amazing players from the 1980's,this dude is very hard to copy or cover,a true original,in every sense of the word,

[@robinater]

George is smokin and one of my influences! Great Album as well!

[@pauloenriques6493]

É muita técnica, muita precisão, muita velocidade. O cara é uma fonte de onde o som flui incessantemente. Um verdadeiro rockstar!

[@ChipRobertsOfficial]

Can someone please explain to me why they didn't use any of these takes for the ACTUAL album?

[@lrn_news9171]

Yeah some of them are even better

[@Soldano88]

Most likely because it was after the fact?

[@Brianemersonpt]

I’ve always wondered this! The River of Love solo here is WAY better than the album version!

[@todds5956]

Lol yeah it’s called Wicked Sensation wtf

[@sunandmoonlight8306]

You rock George!!! Ahhmazing kick ass guitarist!

[@psan72]

There is only one George Lynch!! Amazing!

[@poisonousy]

At this stage of playing/mojo, there are no wrong notes...lynch mob will live in my soul forever...got me back to spiritual/playing again and this video made sure i am going out and getting a practice amp tomorrow as my stack is at the bandhouse... Lynch Mob forever...r.i.p. singer

[@kevinkiso7197]

That's Max Norman - who produced the first two Blizzard of Ozz LPs (sitting at the mixing console).

[@Lasernotes]

Most technical and clean playing I have ever seen, Look that only his left hand is more difficoult then Holdsworth' s one, simply amazing! Plus that vibrato is the perfection!

[@lockdownrocks]

5:05 That's just nuts what he's doing there.

[@woodsjos]

its amazing how lynch can input pretty much every technique seamlessly into his solos evenly without using each technique to much in a bad way. he literaly has the fretboared memorized and know his way around every fret, this is my fav era of his shred style

[@joeguitargod]

I literally watched the man shred for nearly 2 hours about 1-2 feet from my face! It was like getting a private concert for me and my buds! My friends and I got the chance to meet him after the show. Truly a most gracious and unpretentious guy. Quite modest and most affable. Needless to say, truly one of THE greatest shows I've ever been to. By one of THE greatest guitarists ever! It still gives me chills thinking back on it! Thanks George!

[@DSchea]

most underrated guitarist. my hero.

[@krispynachos9980]

I always come back to this video, George Lynch is the man, deserves more recognition. Love his tone

[@Painkiller30]

I bought this back in 2003 as a videotape.I was always admiring GL as a guitarist but before buying this instructional videotape,i thought that the best guitarists should play fast and technically no matter what the melody that was thrown away!Now i can confess that this tape changed completely my aspect for music and also changed 100% my style as a guitarist.George lynch can play fast,techically,and kick everybody's ass with his melodies especially in his solos...A scary man indeed...

[@MichaelSimmons.]

I've been listening to rock guitarist since the 1960's. George Lynch is without question one of the best ever. George knows how to shred the fretboard, while keeping the solo extremely melodic and in keeping with the flow of the song. So many guys today are just into speed, without any concern of the direction of the song. George doesn't just play guitar, he's a true musician.

[@marlon2489]

I met George about a month ago in Brisbane. He's a cool guy, i got his autograph and a photo taking with him. One of my favourite guitar players ever.

[@ozzy1351]

Saw him live......Sounded GREAT.....and he definately was one of the best of ALL time! I'm 44 and I've seen/heard all the greats and he is one of them!

[@MenaceDemENACE]

Very under rated Virtuoso ... I learned what a virtuso was after hearing tooth & nail ( when it came out ) ... NO ONE Plays with as much heart & unique style & his tone is awesome. I here he's a nice guy too !!! I want to play on his rig & shake his hand. He make shrapnel virtuosos envy ! Then he became one. I smiled & strted collecting every recording he made ! God Bless you GEORGE !

[@pauloenriques6493]

It's not only skill...it's feeling. George is amazing. Dokken FOREVER!!!

[@1norville]

I can never get enough of his playing! He will inspire me forever!!!

[@scottlambert6640]

DAMN! Dance of dogs solo is insane to think somebody could right that... outta my league!

[@soulgonerogue9]

Nothing is out of you're league! Practice. I bet you are a kick ass guitar player!

[@josecantu3697]

Oh my goodness. He does everything so perfect

[@tommi_marsetio]

I never knew this man has such amazing skills, woww... keep searching for his videos on YT

[@damagedliver]

Agreed warhead! He was an idol and an inspiration for me as a kid! I grew up on George Lynch and SRV!

[@td7474]

Monster rhythm player...monster lead player....a style that is unmistakable, gritty and sinister. Enough said!

[@erion1ful]

George is fantastic. I heard him in the studio many times playing raw. There are a lot of great guitarists that it's hard for me to personally say who is my favorite. I heard Eddie many times as well. Both fantastic guys! Eddie gets put down a lot since he does similar solos and such. But, no mistaking if he decides to let loose, he is just sick. He is very reserved where most guitarists go balls out all of the time. I have heard dozens of his solos and riffs that are still not on record.

[@lanceross3633]

So much feeling!!!!!!!!

[@Jasong9573]

Great guitar player. He has his own style, and I have never met one GOOD guitar player or read about one that said George wasn't good. George even makes playing your guitar high look cool!!

[@bigfatnoodle48]

Don't get much better than this bro's, what a king!

[@milesaway3699]

Holy Christ, that solo on Dance of the Dogs makes the hair on the back of neck stand up and bow!!!! George is a master and I've always loved his sound and style. Glad I happened onto this vid!

[@scorpion65100]

that tone is a million dollar tone,and his playing is like no one else,Lynch is great

[@Ogscottyp]

Love that quilt top ESP.

[@vanbatio]

wow George is amazing isn't he... and that guitar is soooo beautiful

[@RjRocker80]

The thing I like about lynch is that he is not just a shredder type dude. He has fantastic licks, phrasing & personality IMO. Great tone too. Gota love all those high class amps!

[@td7474]

One of the greatest guitarists ever. His lead is just insane but equally matched with his rhythm. I still remember listening to Mr Scary for the first time and being completely floored.

[@JohnnyCharger1968]

You were the guy who really opened my eyes and ears to what the guitar could do George ! You have always been my #1 influence ! Thanks very much for everything !

[@LizaJane761]

Awesome! He is pure genius! I could watch and listen to him play for hours!

[@stirwilson]

Wow, what can u say. As a very average guitarist who loves 80's rock and George this is staggering.....! Wicked Sensation - keep playing it. Humbled as ever :-)

[@clusternest1704]

i remember watching this as VHS cassette back in the 90s. He made some improvisations and looked like he just got out of bed. It was badass none the less. Loved the eastern scales he threw in.

[@Artybruh]

He blows me away every time I hear him play heaps of people can shred awesomely but, they can't make it sound as COOL as George Lynch can

[@Inkawgneegrow]

Shred guitarists... They always look so metal and speak so softly.

[@BFahz]

Lynch is my fave of all time, but he was very much an acclaimed guitarist. He won solo of the year twice for In my Dreams and Mr Scary. He was always in the top 3 guitarists for hard rock in the 80s. He is definitely a guitar hero!

[@clarence213]

this amazes me every time i see it. :)

[@molecularelk]

this is quite possibly one of the nicest guitars I've ever seen.....me want it!

[@KellyBergerDeusVult]

My take on this style is that it will hold up better than most of the guitar of the 70s on. There are very few players, Satrianni, Lynch and a few more that actually sing with their guitar. EVH did it sometimes, but this early lynch style is as if the guitar had a voice... its a full song solo. Running all over the blues scale lends itself to this, and then some additional wizardry thrown on top... i can listen to the first couple Lynch Mob + George Lynch solo on repeat, over and over and over and never get bored.

[@92naz32]

Mega talented musician whom I met & photographed for this tour at the RockIt Club in Tampa and again a few days later for the Live Stock festival. This was BITD when I worked for Thrust & Jam magazine. Still have the pics & negatives, pized possesions 4 sure!

[@QuantumStates]

Watching this video when it came out in 1990 inspired me to pick up the guitar for the very first time. He is really one of the all time greats.

[@alanjamesh.zamorano1677]

One of my favourites when it comes on how to do pinch harmonic vibrato tastefully.

[@clusternest1704]

i remember watching this as a 17 year old and being blown away. after that i had to practice "a bit".

[@primolilla]

LOL! I watch this a lot too. Funny thing, I went into workout and brought this CD for my training tunes. I actually like the solos and sound from this more than what made it to the final product. River of Love on these takes just screams.

[@sher77777]

This axman has a talent words can not cover!! Just use you ears!!!! Wonderful guitar riffs!!!!!

[@Soldano88]

Will always love your solos george you are the man!

[@Rguitar333]

No need to compare guitarists. We should all just enjoy what each of them brought to the table and how their music sparks different emotions. A song from Van Halen will take me right back to the beach as a teenager as we listened to them over and over. A great Dokken or Lynch Mob song that takes me right back to wanting a divorce ha ha ha. Either way I love music and both of these guys kick ass. I miss the good ole days of music. Now we get overly processed garbage for the most part on the radio, and MTV never shows music videos during the day.

[@tiala93]

One of my favourite guitarist.

[@MrEddievanhalo]

I've seen tons of guitar shred videos on here, and alot of those people have great technique, but this video by George Lynch is far better if you ask me! His solos have a great deal of soul and emotion in them. ROCK ON GEORGE!!!!

[@pimpypimperson]

George Lynch is incredible, so underated as a player. Style, untouchable tone and feel.

[@thevaggi]

george lynch is one of my favorite guitarists! i was able to see him years ago when they opened for aerosmith. stuff like this is why i like him. plus he's still jammin!!!

[@jeffbach7366]

Lynchtastic!!

[@markhenson1427]

I love his sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fireguye4]

ive seen lynch numerous times( dokken and solo) this guy is absolutly not human. and is the nicest most humble guy ive ever met

[@JAH12321]

Wow that was off the planet !!!!...fantastic playing very melodic shredding dude...holy crap...

[@PLSGuitar]

Amazing he's definitely one of the greatest guitarist on this planet...

[@ABalija]

George Lynch - number 7 on the list of 10 almighty guitar gods.

[@jspinks2388]

I like the Perfect balance achieved with speed yet still having that melodic voicing/phrasings and the ability to ripp out harmonics at the perfect and precise time where it all fits together lol

[@wth522]

Lynch has a great sense of phrasing. I love his slippery sense of phrasing. It really sets him apart. Great tone also.

[@lebannerfan65]

Probably the best player from the 80s. He's just one with that guitar! So insanely melodic and so otherwordly rhythmic!!!

[@Cuzntime]

So smooth and effortless

[@source60]

amen! finally some people who understand guitar playing. anyone that's coming to check out George understands that SOME guitarist from the 80's kicked ass! I'm sick of hearing all these kids comparing "Buckethead" this is guitarist and that one. The shredders from the 80's inspired all the new talent this days. You cant compare.

[@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

4:10 Lynch's gravitational force from pinch harmonics drags the camera man in!

[@axlhm]

by far the BEST version of all i want

[@fabric89]

Lynch is good!! But back in the days he was freaking awesome!!!!

[@lanceross3633]

Great improv George-WOW bro!!!!

[@lanceross3633]

Phenomenal album

[@patrickcorbett879]

one of my major influences.....thank God

[@martialfan36]

always loved lynch,imagine him playing with ozzy,damn be awesome as hell,alot better then zakk,never was a zakk fan. Lynch would be perfect fit in ozzys band

[@tomalvaro167]

the thing that's so refreshing about lynch is the purpose in his style; it's unflinching and technically sublime. In this video it doesn't really show much variation in terms of dynamics but trust me, the man's phrasing is awesome, especially in this genre of music.

[@Trononguitar]

that first lynch mob album rocked....this is (IMHO) when he hit his peak. george is great.

[@countrysamurai]

He is not of this world...and I have shaken his hand! Is it possible for genius to be transfered from one person to another??? Hmmmmmmm Rock On George forever!!!

[@Oldschoolmetalnrock]

Bugger me. Mr Lynch magically just became my favourite guitarist ;)

[@QuantumStates]

This is some of the best guitar playing in history. Truly unique.

[@32spitzer]

Lynch simply put is just One Incredible Musician. Like always...."Hater's are gonna Hate"! LONG LIVE THE M-E-T-A-L! \m/

[@MegaWumba]

LOVE his playing! practical yet wild. Not to mention the best guitar tone :)

[@michaelcard6104]

I have that esp with the quilted maple and see thru Orange....but I had mine made with a black reversed head stock!!! It looks so sick,I've had it for about 13yrs and was custom made for me at esp custom in Manhattan..I paid 2,300$..I was planning on purple and black snake skin for a long time while saving the cash but while watching this DVD from george, it hit me over the head that that I really love that finish here ...i got the george lynch screaming demon pick up and kept it simple with a three way switch n single coil at the neck..so it sounds bluesy and sassy in up position and so very MEAN in down tremble position!!!Not bragging guys,just want you guys to picture that one he,s playing but with black head stock pointing upward....I really do love it and love to show it off!! 24 frets,Floyd rose ,ebony finger board ...whatever I could think of for a custom guitar basically(that I'd want and afford of coarse) I,'ll post a video of it in action when I can get my audio to sound like that!!!!!!! Lol

[@jamesprice6381]

Michael Card LOVE ta see it man, enjoy!!!!! :)
