George is the Jeff beck of metal!
Underrated comment
Exactly.
He would have been a much better fit than Johnny Depp, that’s for sure.
Too bad, because I think they could have really pushed each other in some cool directions.
I don’t think Jeff played with too many other guitar players who played in such a similar sonic playground.
Perfect title.
It blows my mind that this extremely high level of instrumental virtuosity and pure improvisation was once so revered that it was aired uncut by a major media outlet. My… how things have changed.
No enough talk about wet pussy for todays standards.
Feels like a life time ago right? but it was "only" 12 years ago...
Its not even demographics either, corporations hate this shit
Seem fragmented and doesn't go anywhere. Just some guy noodling. He has skills. Not my thing
@@GTAfan421doesn't fit with esg and the wef's scheme
That's insane even by today's standards. George has his own style that's for sure.
Never gets mentioned in the "greats" conversations... yet he is. Purely unique and one of a kind.
It’s crazy to think he was almost in Ozzy before Randy AND Jake were chosen
Agree 1000percent
George Lynch aka Mr Scary has it all to the highest level! 💯🤟🔥🔥🔥 Always been my favorite Guitarist ✌️
George,Randy,and Eddie all basically came on the seen at the same time. Randy was quoted as saying that Lynch was the best around 💯🤟 and said George was so good he's scary. Hence the nickname Mr Scary 💯🤟🤟🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥! RIP RANDY and EDDIE 🙏🙏🤟💯🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥 I know y'all are Ripping it up in heaven with all the other greats that have passed on. Mr Scary is still ripping it up for y'all until he comes to the party 💯🤘🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
Because he wqs dokken”s lesd okayer… pure prejudice …
Glad someone put this back up
Perfect example of someone who can play literally anything they want by simply allowing their "feelings" to take the wheel. No barriers
“literally”? You sure? Lmao.
Right??? Look up George and Chris Broderick talking and jamming together on FUSE. George realized QUICKLY he is a small boy in a world of large guitar men. Love them both tho.
feelings? haha there's so many techniques he's using in there which he spent countless hours in perfecting.
@@timpate2050 Technically yeah maybe Chris but Lynch has it all brother, heart and soul. George Lynch has his own style that moves you and that my friend you can't teach some have it some while are great guitar players no matter how fast etc just don't. That's the difference ✌️🤟
That is music. Why do you think something can still come out fresh when it’s the same 12 notes.
100% The instrument is just a means of letting it escape.
You could take any 20-30 second bit from this, and it would be a complete solo in any song. Freaking fantastic work at an epic level.
His playing is so weird exotic and spicy compared to the other guitar gods hes in his own lane for sure
the combo of ferocity and smoothness is insane
This was my favorite era of George’s playing by far.
George was 57 here(my current age). Now, George and Page are our elder statesmen guitar gods who must be protected at all costs.
56 here and I agree. We grew up on Dokken!
The legendary ESP Kamikaze guitar, what a beauty. Lynch god!!!
Get a 100 guitar players to shred over this and I'll still pick Mr Scary out. Unique and still blows me away, he pulls notes that you could never guess before hand. Legend!
It's always an amazing experience when they surprise you with the note progressions. Just when you think you know where the solo is going (or even possibly the very next note), it takes a completely different turn, thus throwing you off.
The first big time I've experienced this was when I was younger and first heard TooL - Right In Two in the opening riff. Adam Jones has a 3 set piece of 3 notes for the main riff; the first set ends on a high note, the second with a low note, and I originally expected the 3rd set to end on an even lower note, but he brings it back up to a higher note which completely through me off course and I immediately loved the song!
What an era these guys came out of! Ed…Jake…Randy
Wow. I’ve always loved George’s playing but this is next level right here. Blown away.
My gosh, this just builds and builds getting better and better. At the 2:40 mark just gets magical. So many levels. There is no one like George Lynch!
This guy is awesome, one of my all time favorites!
total stream of conciousness. he has mastered that. something most guitarists have not.
One of the best pieces of music ever created here.
I could listen to George just jam all day.
I watched this cilp 2012 first.
I was really impressed by Lynch's tremendous guitar soloing.
But this clip was deleted by some resason before. And it is so happy that it revived one more.
There will never be another guitar player like George Lynch. The growl he get is out of this world. His control of the fretboard is phenomenal!
He was good but John Petrucci was the BEST
@@USMCSDI hardly! LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffallen3382 Then you obviously have nver heard JP shred
@@USMCSDI 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are many players like George Lynch. These comments are so cringey.
Lynch's always been a great improviser but this one is something else!
George Lynch & Reb Beach are 2 of the most underrated guitarists in rock & roll history imo.
That's some scary good playing right there. 🎸🔥
Perfect combination of pure virtuosity & art - stunning!
Unreal! George is the man!
Everytime I watch this it brings me to tears. The emotion and soul are oozing out of this. I weep because I will never be able to do this, but I feel every note of it. My God how awesome this is. Hated it was taken down for so long. Don't do that again YT!
Back in the early 90s, I was playing in pro bands but ultimately quit bands because, as you note, I realized I will never be this good - to literally bring shivers or tears as a result of my playing the way GL and EVH do.
@@BFahz man... how long did you practice? This guy is a nice man, dont get me wrong, but he is faaar from van halen. You could easily play like him. If you are talking like Paul gilbert.. michael romeo, mm thats difficult stuff.
@@claudiocruzat8777 I used to practice a lot but George has a feel that is so unique.
Here was my band in the 90s
ua-cam.com/video/CRhRLofyHeI/v-deo.html
It definitely isn't easy to play like him. Its his memory that is funominal. Just look at how many songs this man has in his catalog. Some songs are easier than others. But, to be able to do every technique he uses is very hard. Those trills he does are so fast and when he jumps around the fetboard at light speed doing them is off the charts. Tony Fuentes, is about the only person besides Jay Parmar that even comes close. Tony, is the 80's George, while Jay is the 90's George. KXM, and Michael Sweet George, is even newer. Not to mention the all solo record stuff. I bet Damian Salazar, could pull it off but, he won't sound like George, because he has to put in all kinds of different notes that George doesn't do. But, it will sound awesome!
@@claudiocruzat8777 George plays rings aroun Eddie. VH plays the same riffs over and over.
The first time I saw this on head bangers ball, I said to myself exactly....George has gotten to another level.
It's been my favorite jam of his for the last 10 years.
jam? Lol
@@spacejockey4746 Get a life
It's about time this is back on UA-cam why in the world would someone take a masterpiece like this off George tearing it up
Lynch is the GOAT!!!
God, I LOVE THAT FN GUITAR. I was 15 in 85 when I started playing. Dokken, Ratt, Crue, Scorpions, etc. is was I had a hard one for. The IN MY DREAMS vid came out and I saw that paint job and upside down headstock and about schitt myself. Paid $750.00 for a real ESP in 06, and sold it 3 years later for $800.00. Now, I've seen 5k price tags for them. Never should have sold it. The Kamikaze and DeMartini's Crossed Sword guitar are my 2 favorite graphics guitars.
This is why I will always consider George Lynch is the best guitarist ever.
FACT 💯🤟✌️
George Lynch is freaking one of the best, badass!!
Love this! Never get sick of hearing George Lynch play. His sound and vibrato are instantly recognizable.
And impossible to duplicate.
I have one of these guitars and it sounds amazing. 🤘
Absolutely insane he can really shred love his playing definitely my favorite
I'll never understand why he doesn't have EVH respect, he's probably better in many ways.
He is better 💯🤟🔥🔥🔥
How do I ever get to this level? Really nice George….epic…
You won't 🤘🤣🤣🤣
I know 😎
Just practice. :) We never reach a level in which we say to ourselves "Okay, I'm here, I've reached the level I've wanted!". We always strive to be better. Our heroes look to their heroes, and we all look to our next plateaus.
One of my favorite videos. Hard to find, it disappeared for a while
When someone Plays different from All others ! In a positive way!! Unique!!
Thank you for the healing tones George🙏🙏
Ah, such good days...
Arguably the greatest improvised solo Lynch has ever produced. In this solo, he constantly pushes the limit of taking this solo into the "WTF" category -- but he never breaches it. In some improvised solos, sometimes Lynch takes it too far and it sounds trash... but this is just the peak of awesome. It is right on the line of pure epic-ness... staring into the abyss of taking it too far. But he never falls in. Just incredible stuff.
One mans trash, another mans treasure.
Technical guitar ahem satriani..feeling technical guitar lynch
You are a poet-reviewer
I've always known of George Lynch and Dökken but never heard him play before.
I'm glad that's just been changed!!
Just awesome guitar playing.
Pete 🇬🇧
5+ minutes of bliss! I can't believe this is all the views the video has gotten. UA-cam's counter must be broken because I think I have watched this more than the current total.
Mr Scary in action 🔥🔥🔥🎸 Wow🤘. What a tone & them stretches are insane 💯. All I can say is I want my MTV head bangers ball . We're slowly losing our greats, one by one 😔. So cherish them why they're still here with us. Because these kind of guitar gods are a rare & a dying breed 🤘. Lynch is a monster on them strings. Goats 🐐 thanks for sharing & thanks George Lynch 💯🎶🎵🎸👍
The older I get, the more I love Lynch
God given talent in addition to hard work
このメロディ、リズム感、奏法、すべてが孤高のギタリスト！
Man talk about about a dude that can get more emotion out of a single note. Always amazing tone and vibrato, just awesome \m/
@Spectacular Spectacular he's great also, I'm not into ranking guitarists, the great ones have their own unique techniques and tones.
This is jamming to the extreme. Masterclass!
one of my favorite guitars.
That was like, amazing dude.
The most underrated of players since the 80's awesome style
Is saying someone is underated like a thing.u know dam well he is at the top of all kinds of people's list.u just like to say he is underated because u think it makes you sound like u know something we don't know..one of the baddest never been anything else
Blue powder sounds gay to me
ha hilarious, blue powder sounds gay. now laughing and jamming to the best
That might have been the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life!
Respect!
Damn. Now that's virtuosity and artistic expression fused into one.
You know a guy is good when his screw ups sound almost planned. George is six string wizard. Just stupid good.
I like to think I accomplished some level of creativity on guitar over 20 some years of playing. He blows 20 years away in his first 10 seconds. I'll never be on George's level. God bless the king.
George was always underrated back in the day. Even Mr. Scary really didn't get the pop it should have. His guitar tone was literally one of the best in the business - back in my band days would have killed to get his setup details.
Yeah and with every new release his tone got better and better. Back in the day I read an article that his use to use a 50w Purple plexi that was owned by Aspen Pitman (RIP) of Groove Tubes. In the article it said George begged Aspen to sell it to him, but he never would. He did lend it to him most any time he wanted though. Now that I'm older I realize George would have sounded like George through whatever amp he used.
@@twintriode Totally agree. Easily a top 3 guitarist on the rock / metal scene and his sound was absolutely the best in the business. Always felt it topped EVH even. And, all the other great (and they were great) guitarists out there like Jake E., Randy, Yngwie, Howe, Gilbert, Vai, Satriani, etc, none had a sound that blew me away - they were all technical monsters but guitar sound was not nearly as memorable or as good as George's.....
Idk, I think the tone was horrible. You guys really like it huh?
That was awesome! Just love George's playing!!!
George Lynch Is THE guitar of all time
Took my to now to realize he was the best ....damn where have i been
ohhhyeahhh.saw George and Dokken back in the mid 80s in sioux fall South Dakota.He aint lost his touch
So very glad this is back on UA-cam! Thank you Tony! George! This is a national treasure performance! My all time favorite George Lynch performance! The world of guitar has never seen anything like this! George, let me direct/produce a re-recording of this! Let me bring out the best in you for all historical posterity! Love it!!!!
You’re very welcome, I’m gonna see him live next Saturday. He’s also building me a custom Mr. Scary guitar I’m super excited.
@@Tony78432 how much would it run me for mr Lynch to build me a Mr scary guitar?
@@jolimeson2025 from what I’ve seen generally between $4000-$9000. Very much a niche luxury item, my particular guitar was $6700. I’ve been waiting about 7 months now to receive it but George assured me it’ll be finished soon.
@@Tony78432 I'll have to get one made george lynch is my favorite player so I'm between a Mr scary guitar or an esp kamikazee or that cool guitar he had in dream warriors
@@jolimeson2025 if you’ve seen the two Crazy Horse guitars promoted on his Instagram page, I’m getting one of those.
Holy moly George Lynch is BADASS...improvise monster♥️🤡👉
In a perfect world this is a solo for a great song
Never realized George was bending notes with his pinky before. I find it confusing to see what scales he is using due to his hand shape on the neck when playing. I was listening to beast from the east yesterday and "You just got lucky" he is blazing all over that and must have been at the zenith of his chops right around that time, no jazz notes, pure chop suee madness. Gotta love the Lynch, never plays it safe.
He was at the zenith of his chops with lynch mob in my opinion! His playing on those first 2 lynch mob albums is just unbelievable. His phrasing and choice of notes were soooo melodic and groovy , you could tell he matured a lot as a player especially between 87 when back for the attack came out and 1990-1992.
George's signature lead lines stem from a scale (can't remember which scale/mode) where he takes one note in the scale and flattens it, takes another note in the scale and sharps it, and blasts through that altered scale like it always existed before him. Beyond that, he himself has said he's just a 70's blues guitar guy who had to adapt when 80's glam metal took off.
Even the way he ditches that ring on his right hand toward the end is cool.
Sic tone!
Sic phrasing!
Goddamn, this is good. Georgy! 👍
What took so long to return this to UA-cam.....? Thanks UA-cam....your the best...
Had to do it cause nobody else seemed to wanna lol
Thank you so much for posting this!! It's my favorite instrumental ever
Another True American Badass Guitarist!!!!!
Amazing video
Thank you for bringing this back i love to listen to it
Was so bummed this got taken down. Stoked to see it back up
So glad someone uploaded this again!
The backing track is Hella sick
This is after the 80's George, you can tell because he finally found that front pickup sound that's so cool. Gives him a whole new dimension and texture. He never used it much in the first decade of his Dokken years. Great sound.
He did. He talked about it long ago in an issue of GFTPM.
@@spacejockey4746 he may have said he did but I've been playing and learning his stuff since the early 80's, he really didn't use it much.
Love this shred session, anytime I look for inspiration I always come to this video, it’s the exact sound I strive for.
What an awesome player
This is really good but definitely second to his studio outakes on Wicked Sensation. I could watch those sessions for days.
Finally it's back.
Pure feel and musical freedom
Go George!🎸🚀💪
Yep. I started learning guitar in the 80s when I was a pre-teenager. When I first heard Dokken's, "Alone Again," I immediately loved it and wanted to learn George's stuff. I knew, I wanted to be play like George. Lol. 30 years later, I still listen Dokken once in awhile.
Why I have I never heard this or seen this before? Wow!
Folks just watch how's done..
An 80s guitar God performing
THE GUITAR GOD!! NOT JUST FROM THE 80S BUT ALL AROUND! KING GEORGE 👑!!!!
what a guitarist
Basically a audio definition of perfect
So awesome!!!!!!
Simply WOW! 😳
other worldly
Excellent!
That guitar is so 😎
I love GL… pure feeling… obsesive mastery of the guitar neck… but the feeling come first.
That was fun to watch
Oh thanks for posting this video, I guess it was deleted from youtube for a while, thanks bro!!
