Cooking up something special for you guys on Saturday :)

Barbecue riffs?

Lasagna?!?!??!

Can’t wait! Love your videos! 🤘🎸

I'll break out the cocktails 🍺🍷🍸

[@trialversion2617]

Robert I love playing the gibbons lick from the other day.

[@AMSOfficial79]

I think the non-copyrighted Dokken song you were attempting in the beginning was the classic 'remove the chains from the evening'. Great tune.

[@Guitarplayer7253]

'please whatever you do, refrain from removing the chains binding the time of dusk"

[@dustinstewart6335]

@@Guitarplayer7253 It would be greatly appreciated that you do not partake in removing the restraints of the time of which the sun goes down. Furthermore, I would suggest that you do not inform me that the admiration has ceased to exist.

[@jamesmeeker6933]

Breaking the Hunter of Death, perhaps? :)

[@DragonboltBlastter]

Ah yes, '''remove the chains from the evening'' amazing classic tune!

[@Bullet44]

Lmao! I totally agree 🤣

[@mikeg.9238]

Lynch was a beast in the 80's , he could shred with the best. So many killer solos on good song's!!!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Most guitarist name their heroes and the list is usually the same. EVH, Page, Clapton, Hendrix, Gilmour, etc. and those are all great. But the one that I would put up there that made me pick up a guitar is Lynch. One of the guys that made the 80s what it was. He is a total badass.

[@sierraridgereaper]

Lynch is a monster... Now it's time for a Matthias Jabs hack.... 😁

[@johnhestich458]

Great era for "axemen" indeed. Jabs blew my mind and I still go into automatic air-guitar mode every time one of his epic solo's. Cheers!

[@Dilemma1962]

He is. He's also reported to be a colossal jerk.

[@sierraridgereaper]

@@Dilemma1962 I met and spoke to him at a workshop years ago and he was way cool. I've heard people say that but I didn't see it...

[@hartmutz.6599]

Years ago around 2007 I wrote MJ a short email and one day later I got his response. I asked if he has any plans to release a guitar DVD to learn his style? He said yes, he had wanted to do that since the VHS era. To this day it does not exist. Lynch released several VHS cassettes. Maybe MJ is not a good guitar teacher like EvH???

[@TimeTraveler2100]

​@@Dilemma1962, I was stationed in Germany in 2005, my wife was at a doctor's appointment, and I walked around Munich with my 3 and 6 year old in February, snow everywhere. I see a MJ guitar store, not knowing it was Matthias Jabs store. I walked inside, the store was pristine, full of 3,000 euro Frames guitars and engl amps, as well as Matthias signature starts. Matthias was in the store at the time, and walked up to me and my kiddos and he was one of the friendliest guys I've ever met. It took me about five minutes before I realized it was him. He walked my kiddos and I around his store, he talked to my kids. And then he kindly said if I needed anything that his crew in the store would help. Then he walked back over to individuals he was talking to before I walked in. It was a great experience, and I wish I wasn't starstruck at the moment I was talking to him.

[@vivolobrian]

I would say that would of been "Unchain the Night" I play that song daily, only because it was the last one I learned. George is the man. It's hard not to butcher his solos. He is so unique, you always know when George is playing.

[@mikeg.9238]

I think i might have heard a smidge of ( just got lucky)!

[@Jmdeclue]

Definitely

@@Ken-kb5fw Yes it as, me first language is jibberish. Me so ggladd i could offend you.

[@Ken-kb5fw]

@@vivolobrian no worries, not offended, just saddened at how badly our education system has failed you. But keep rockin' those Lynch licks!

[@elixenramirez740]

That's what I think as well!

[@Axeman90]

Great stuff Robert! George Lynch is my favourite guitarist. Love the Ideas/licks that are so fun to play, wish there were 100 more! The "slide" technique is also in the mid-part of "In My Dreams" solo, which is not the easiest to play, but sounds so good. (PS- how there are people who "dislike" this video, or any educational video for guitar is baffling and they really do not deserve any "air time." ;) Looking forward to more 80's guitar from you.

[@mofo1739]

Great video, love George Lynch . The licks and the guitar sound awesome many thanks Robert .

[@rocktoday6532]

I absolutely love this video. In fact I love all Robert's videos. He is a truly gifted guy, not just as a guitarist but as a hugely engaging and inspiring musical mentor. Thank you, Robert! This is so very much appreciated! Craig

[@keith3229]

This is great! Nice lick for intermediates & perfect teaching style & lesson structure. Superb

[@REDW1NG94]

George, Eddie, and Gilmour: my three greatest inspirations. Awesome video Rob 🤟

[@garrettpartain7771]

This is the second time I have watched this video all the way through!! George Lynch is a freakin' monster of a player!! I have already used the slide technique in my own playing and writing! Thanks for this video, Robert!! I love watching your videos!

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

I've been a Lynch fan for 40 years and "borrowed" this sliding lick pretty early but I also tend do to it using my index finger for the slide. For instance, sliding from the 12th to the 11th and back then finishing the lick on the 15th and 17th (depending on what mode you're playing, key, etc.). I've been a studio/session player for 30+ years and put more of that "Lynch Slide" in unsuspecting songs than you can imagine. Works great in Country music. BTW, I've got a 1989 Charvel Predator in the Rainbow Crackle. So '80s! ;-) Great post, Robert. Cheers.

[@tonypowell250]

Great video man, really like your laid back style. Anyone who uploads tabs gets my subscription.

[@JohnSmith-ef2sx]

Unchain the night was the song you were avoiding copyright. I'm pretty sure. Great song.

[@mikeg.9238]

So many good dokken songs , plus George's shredding. That's what made them stand out amongst all those other hair metal bands , they had such a melodic sound!

[@pancon5]

With a wonderful solo!

[@toneconsultant]

I’m always looking for a fun lesson. I like how you teach. Nice job

[@danrobinet1785]

Always love seeing this guitar! And hearing it ofcourse! Awesome man

[@kellybeane7546]

Un rope the mid afternoon. Great song . Awesome lesson as always thanks so much for what you do

[@vintagev8muscle721]

I love that Charvel you’re playing. *Jack Butler* style. 🤘🏼😆🎸

[@SDesWriter]

My favorite part of that solo is the ascending six-note scale with the slide in between on the final note of each figure. That is definitely unique to Lynch and his style and it sounds so freaking good. I've conquered almost every one of his solos and I can't even come close to playing that thing and have given up even trying.

[@brownsfan7753]

Awesome lesson! Thanks for sharing!

[@DarkDays2023]

Second pattern is so impressive I'm loving it!

[@QuikdethDeviantart]

Mr. Baker, you have the honor of “my most saved videos” in my save folder! You rock

[@Matt-pk6vp]

There would be so much to say about George Lynch, in my opinion on KZbin he is underrated, there is too little talk about him, well done with this video! 😉 More videos about Lynch, playing style, techniques, Lynch scales, music ideas, would be great! He's the guy who sounds (and shreds😄) different in the 80's, a Genius. There's a lot to learn from Lynch stuff, I love how he chooses the notes, the use of diminished arpeggios and always with a bluesy touch. Not least the tone, fundamental said of Lynch himself! Amazing player!!!

[@1642poltergeist]

Dude thanks for these vids. Helps me a lot !

[@anthonydavella8350]

If I could pick 1 person off youtube to take lessons from it would be you. You have his vibrato nailed!!

Very nice bro I am definitely going to use that

[@christophervincent8420]

Wow, I didn't realize how much blues influenced his style of playing. That is very interesting. Great to know how important it can be.

[@the_photarist1845]

Its interesting that second lick you played, when you slowed it down reminded me of Hungry like the wolf from Duran Duran. Its got that same flavor, obviously its not the same but it has that sound.

[@frankjager1647]

I can't tell you how jazzed I am to see that I've been doing something George Lynch does without knowing it. I have always done slides in a lot of places where others do hammer-ons, and I feel super vindicated now haha

[@svenzia]

Good little lesson 😊

[@RandomVelocity]

Great stuff. Thanks

[@electroKrunch]

Love it Robert! I've slid outside the pattern for decades! Mostly because I was recovering from mistakes, draging a little jazz into rock stuff I was playing. People always thought it was intentional but I'd be honest & just say I screwed up and it was a recovery technique, LOL.... Playing a note above & below, or ahead & behind as I used to see it, of any scale seems to add flavor. A little coriander or cumin where it wasn't expected... Thanks for the great vid man!!

[@thesnapperkeeper]

[@mikeg.9238]

@@suetruett3812 Hey" I agree with you , just reporting what I read and both Don and George confirmed it. But honestly I would not go to see them now , if you look at their last live performance , it's unwatchable. His voice is so bad that he doesn't even sing , it's more like he's talking through the songs and I've noticed that they lowered his mic so much , that all you hear is the instruments. I saw them a few times in their prime in the 80's and they were great , but it's over now for Don unfortunately!

[@warmoth68]

Super cool vid...DeMartini and Lynch are so close in phrasing! Depending on your rhythm ,great Vid...explore all notes,call and response technique is crucial.the vibrato and dark note slide is the key. I say that ,but execution of it in a live situation takes practice..I still can’t do it..but it’s a work in progress..

[@Gearjunkie35]

Dude...I have one of those Crackle Charvette HSS's. Killer shred machines. And Love this series..very approachable. Very useable. One of my fave guitar teachers 😎

Love those too. Washburn made one similar. They paint it whatever bleed color they want (In this case, red). Then spray it with black lacquer, and hit it with a torch. Then give it a nice thick poly clear coat. Watching this vid makes me want to go plug in my Furman PQ-3. Cheers!

[@VirtousoForGod]

George was the perfect 80’s and 90’s shredder. He had it all. My favorite guitar player of all time. I love his exotic and outside sounding style of playing.

[@Wyldwulf]

If you are taking suggestions for other hacks, JOHN SYKES. PLEASE!!! Severely underrated and generally under covered in style/licks videos. One of my all time favs. Lynch aint no slouch himself. :)

[@mfin-dave]

John Sykes is a good suggestion !!!

[@JesseLeeKing]

Just got my George Lynch guitar book a few months ago the total 80s shredder

[@roosterj2599]

George was actually approached about using the 2 hand tapping technique that Eddie pioneered and asked not to do it so much. He decided that he would go another direction and capitalize on what he knew and create new and better ways to play leads. This is what became the Lynch style we all know and love. It's harder to learn a George Lynch solo than it is to learn most of Eddie's in my book. Most of my guitar buddies agree. I read about all this in an issue of guitar world from years back. That article kinda made an impact on my own playing. Also, just when you think you've figured out a George Lynch solo you find out that the actual way George plays it is near impossible for most hands to handle. He has a way of manipulating every note and gagging each one for all it's worth and in the end pulls off some of the most killer leads of the 80s.

[@kenvorland]

Awesome video whats youre delay setting?and reverb setting sounds very high reverb

George and Warren DeMartini were fast friends in the early days, and you can hear a lot of similarities in their style and approach to trills, bends, etc.

[@nacuda9]

Jake E Lee , too , with both of them. George has Jakes' blue Charvel used on one of the Ozzy albums. Just saw a recent clip of George holding and talking about it.

[@user-tb9rw7dh2t]

The lick you were playing at the beginning was from "Unchain the Night".

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Sweeeet! I kind of thought it was going to be the slidey thing LOL. Very Lynch :)

[@mrtexican8302]

Dime also utilized this, but he incorporated it with super wide stretches. For example, the CFH solo.

[@TheEfetzis]

Man this crackle on your Charvel is out of this world... By the way, can you do a comparison video between a charvel so cal and the new contemporary hh squier strat (the shell pink one ideally 😁)?? It would be great!

[@matthewbond8843]

Thanks for the quick tips, Robert. Slightly unrelated question, but these days it seems like everyone’s talking about pick slanting. Do you employ that in your picking? Why or why not?

[@stricknine8623]

The 2nd lick has Warren DeMartini all over it. Love it !!!!

Lynch does like question answer type thing.Very cool phrases and pinch harmonics where i know its him like that We're Stars tune where all those guitarists n vocalists created like a We Are the World charity tune but metal lol.But distictive sound i knew which parts he played without watching it 🙌

[@mikenuckols4422]

Great layout of the b5 ness that George wears the undeniable crown. His playing has almost influenced me to much that i have to be cognoscente of it. Do you have an avenue where we can send audio back and forth just in the name of keeping the fire. Keeping real, is keeping it fun and enjoying those "moments." It's like crack cocaine. Anyway, don't know if you comment on these or have a platform for interaction, but that would be fantastic. Thanks

[@allengoeddey2719]

As soon as I saw the "hack" or slide, my mind went to Greg Howe. In recent years (my old age) I've discovered Mr. Howe. Even though I have Dokken's first two records on vinyl (there's my age showing again) lol
