Steve gave a guitar clinic in Baton Rouge back in the 80's, he was incredible! And he fit right in with the local musicians, just one of the guys. He hung out and then went clubbing with me and a friend, Stacey, from the music store after the clinic. We had a great time, just checking out the local scene, cruising around and hanging out. No drugs or heavy drinking, wasn't pushing his celebrity status at anyone or showing off in any way, just a laid back, cool guy. I have Much respect for him as a guitarist and also as a person. He is the real deal.
Omg I want to learn how I want to learn how to play guitar. Badly so I can Soothe My Soul. just teach me how to play Shout out to Stephen Lynch and my good buddy Steve Torres hair metal and glam
I got a good explanation of his technique on that cheesy star lick lesson. the man was on his game back in 1984. 1st autograph album was Steve's talent entirely. Some of the solos even on the throw away songs blew me away. He should be credited with his tapping.
The guys is a very thorough instructor. I learned tapping from one of his book in the 80's and it's the same stuff as this video. Thanks for posting it.
This video takes me back! Great stuff! Jeff Watson from Night Ranger was another guy doing challenging tapping at that time. Also, in the jazz world, there was the amazing Stanley Jordan. Later in the 80s, we had the likes of Vito Bratta and Reb Beach. What a great time in guitar playing. :)
fun fact: autograph toured with van halen in 1984 and was chosen to do the opening show before van halen performed and lynch wasn’t allowed to do his god like tapping cause that was “eddies thing” he also hated that tour
@1gibsons Watson is one of my favorites..he still around doing country speed picking. 8 finger tap ROCK IN AMERICA is awesome never even tried to figure that lead out
@1gibsons he's hardly recognizable nowadays last saw him with nightranger closeup in front. Sing me away sentimental Blvd rock in AMERICA sounded real nice live.what a band. Dont remind me it has been 15yrs. Watson is that good>>>
Steve Lynch actually wanted you to learn what he was doing unlike Yngwie's lesson in which it was soooo obvious that he really didn't want kids to get his technique.
Imma be real with you yngwie doesn't even really know his technique he's going to fast all the time he has only ever payed attention to what his real techniques are like maybe 4 times
Look folks , I mean this guy Steve Lynch is clearly not an EVH knock off . Lynch's tapping style is more theory based , systematicly melodicly composed ascending / descending , and planned out using all of his fingers like a concert pianist . EVH was more of an unpredictable straight forward freestyler in his tapping stuff with only 5 fingers , and he didn't ascend descend too much looping notes in pentatonic scales like Lynch is clearly doing in this video . But its clear EVH had more of the song writing vision / talent of the two guitarists . Its a shame Lynch couldn't have got with say Ozzy or White snake , and really taken his song composing talents to a more talented band than Autograph .
Not a bad video, but he was wrong. That "first position" Em pentatonic scale is actually the second position of the Em pentatonic scale. That was very annoying. But hey, that's just me...
Umm...ok, thats your opinion, but Steve can/does use all 10 fingers if it's necessary, and that doesnt make someone better, just like speed, that doesnt make someone better either, as shitty as it sounds.
well, its only one video, there are plenty of him out there with his 8 finger solo lessons, but he can still play with his thumbs wwhen necessary, just not in the form of a piano like Stanley does

Buckethead
Extremely underrated!
The guy from autograph. Awesome!
These guys were very cool. Played a few shows with them in Illinois in late1983-84
Who are you?!?!
The guys is a very thorough instructor. I learned tapping from one of his book in the 80's and it's the same stuff as this video. Thanks for posting it.

Any chance you know what it is from? I'd love to buy the whole thing so I can learn from it.
fun fact: autograph toured with van halen in 1984 and was chosen to do the opening show before van halen performed and lynch wasn’t allowed to do his god like tapping cause that was “eddies thing” he also hated that tour
Eddie Van Halen, Steve Lynch & Reb Beach. The best tappers ever walk on earth.
Vito Bratta and Nuno Bettencourt would like to talk with you
Zakkyl check out Tj helmrich
Buckethead? Maybe. That Italian guy in 1964?
@1gibsons Watson is one of my favorites..he still around doing country speed picking. 8 finger tap ROCK IN AMERICA is awesome never even tried to figure that lead out

Owned this! Fun look back. Man I did not do this well :)
Saw him play live with Autograph in Boston in 1984 - terrific player.
Great guitarist. Should have gotten more recognition for his skills.
I still have my original The Right Touch book...complete with the never played record it came with.
*Imagine Steve Lynch And George Lynch in the same band.*
Name of the band would probably be 'Lynvh' or 'The Lynch'
That would indeed be a Lynch mob!
AutoLynch
Love the tank top look. Sun's out, guns out.
Great stuff from a great guy Steve Lynch.
Steve and George Lynch both from Washington... separated at birth?
I love these instructional videos.
Who knows how can I get this complete vídeo????
This guy's a beast!
Absolutely fantastic
Where can I find the full video?
Awesomeness!! Love It!!
Bravoooo!
AUTOGRAPH!
very articulate instructions.. watch this 4 or 5 time and you'll get it
Someone have the complete version?
Who isn’t a two-handed guitarist though?
ua-cam.com/video/8HwRRsfD3WA/v-deo.html
Brad K Still needed both feet
Exactly what a dumb fucking title 😂
Awesome great
Nice hair!!!
Wow wee! :)lol Seriously? This was Awesomeness! :) I play Alto Sax and Clarinet and that's hard enough as it is!lol
What happened to the rest of the clips?

Turn Up The Radio i one of my all time favorite songs. Love the guitar tone in it.
It's 2021 and I'm gonna get my hair done like lynch the great. Maybe it'll make me a better player 😔
Be sure to pick up Mel Bay's Guide to First Year Rocker Hair For Guitarists - Vol 1
Dude, it’s the pick of destiny.
His brother George is also a known guitar player and their uncle David is a famous film maker.
Das ist geil!!!!!!!!!!!
The offspring of GEORGE LYNCH!
@Peter C it’s a joke bro chill
What ever happened to Steve Lynch?
He is actually out touring with Autograph, minus Steve Plunkett and Kenny Richards (rip).
He's still kicking ass. He left Autograph and is working on new music called project 2:22
This guy actually taught God how to play guitar.
Play Special Fred
Lamour Brooklyn
Not a bad video, but he was wrong. That "first position" Em pentatonic scale is actually the second position of the Em pentatonic scale. That was very annoying. But hey, that's just me...
He started on G, the relative Major to E minor, so technically, Steve was correct
Pretty sure he probably plays better than you.
Oh boy exactly a year later when ya find out Stevey moved on to other projects hella sux
Damn whatever happened to this guy?
As far as I know he's still playing. I think Autograph might even be on tour now.
GrantH That's good to know.
Yes he was playing in Canada (Ottawa) with Autograph last month. I was there :)
Eddie wrote hit songs that's why nobody cares about this guy
Umm Stanley Jordan plays guitar with 10 fingers like a piano, much more advanced than this guy :D
Umm...ok, thats your opinion, but Steve can/does use all 10 fingers if it's necessary, and that doesnt make someone better, just like speed, that doesnt make someone better either, as shitty as it sounds.
Thomas McMichael I didn't see this guy using all 10 fingers, Jordan still plays with more complexity, this is simple tapping, not 10 finger playing
well, its only one video, there are plenty of him out there with his 8 finger solo lessons, but he can still play with his thumbs wwhen necessary, just not in the form of a piano like Stanley does
Stanley Jordan is jazz oriented, this is heavy metal oriented, is not the same intention, i prefer this.
Music isn't a fucking competition
great player but awful tone and sound...turn of that cheesy delay?reverb?? back off the distortion and it will sound better surely??...
