George is hard to copy
Even he doesn't know what he's going to play next
Love him
When your George Lynch, you can play in the wrong key and it’s still cool.
This is awesome. A true musician in every sense of the word. Every time he picks up the guitar, it's different.
"Play like you did 30 years ago!"
Sorry, bud.
George might not play like he did 30 MINUTES ago, much less 30 years.
Bravo, my dude.
there is an argument that being able to repeat is good though, if you do or not is another thing but it's a massive skill
Big fan of George for many years but that improv was so all over the place. Watch his jam in the intro of his ghs instructional video back in the day and you'll see the difference
I met George many many years ago...Having said that...he is a genius btw...and one of the most humble and nicest gentleman I ever known I lost touch with him over the decades but when the world stop wiggin out I hope to catch up with him and bro love him all over again. With love Joseph.
It's great to see Mister Scary remain humble after all these years.
If he's going to play like that he should be very humble.
I picked up Back for the Attack a couple weeks ago and been jammin' along a few times. Lynch was one of my earliest influences, and I learned a lot from him regarding blending minor pentatonic and Aeolian runs. He always had a cool pinky slide technique to get an extra ascending legato note on his licks. Also a great stretch for tapping and trill-type stuff like the solos for In My Dreams and Tooth and Nail. Great player.

Whoever thinks this is crap then you're missing the point.....This is like an open jam just throwing stuff out there. Oh yeah, the dude can construct a mean solo, but this is none of that. This is a guy unafraid to walk out cold and play whatever and see what can be made, like a chef. If you want the bad ass shred, then throw on an album. I watched him play at ESP in North Hollywood last year with Buny Brunel and an unknown drummer and it was one of the best improv shows I've ever seen
Everyone here that's complaining ought to check out his work in KXM & The End Machine & Dirty Shirley....all work he's done in just the last couple of years. He's killin' it....
Even though he's 65 years old, he is still moving forward...he's not hopelessly stuck in the 80's like so many of his contemporaries. Like that other great guitar player Jeff Beck, who is almost 80 (!!!), George is always moving on to the next exciting project, kicking ass and taking names, unafraid to try something different.
What seems to be happening here, is an outstanding stage talent, transitioning to a DAW station..
Free styling to new music, even if he cowrote or riffed the outline.. he's still free styling the solos, which..in classic Lynch style.. you can't tell where solos and riffs begin and end.. and oh yeah.. the rythems in there somewhere too..
This is really what we all love about his music to begin with.. it's just not something we're use to watching "in progress"..
He adjusted to the room.. he got the first one out of the way.. and came into his own..
He's playing with the delay in heavy mode.. and the room doesn't support it well.. notice all the little studio DAW monitors on the desk?
PUT A FRONT FLOOR MONITOR DOWN THERE.. and have him dial his gear in.. for stage.. not desk..
It's still Lynch.. no denying that at all..
It's kind of a "unplugged" but really only unplugged from the stage gear. That's all..
George is obviously not an alien.. he's human.. and that's a relief. Because his playing from the beginning has been out of this world.. awsome..
Do you know what he had for breakfast as well?
@@nickmartin812he probably didnt eat breakfast.. and if I had to guess.. he probably needs to take a shit too..
George is a super cool person. I've spoke with him a few times.
Love listening to George
He is killer player and has the most aggressive vibrato.
Easy to recognise anywhere.
George is pure heart and soul
Great video, awesome store, everytime I go to San Diego, is a must visit place.
Love you Master Lynch !
Man he showing his age but he is still and will always be one of the best!
dang im exhausted just watching him solo! lol. hes making that guitar sing! in so many ways wow. hes like the king of 120% feel 24/7
If you want to see someone whale on a gatur call my dad lol
he sounds great. definitely taking some chances - as he should. some of ya'll stuck in the 80s
Still ripped and shredded as ever!!! 😎💪🏻
Has admitted to steroid use.
Love Lynch!!!
Hey thanks for uploading this! What great video quality!
Awesome upload. You made my day, Pitbullaudio! THANK YOU!!!
Everyone gets older...more laid back and things that were important 30 years ago are not now. He is just another human being playing guitar.
No guitar gods....just people enjoying an instrument. Keep going George! As long as you play and you enjoy it.....be blessed!
Who?
the jam at the end took a while to start grooving but when it did, it was really great. thanks George
Welcome to the real world where things aren't always pretty. The creative process is just that; a process. George has provided us with so much great finished product over the years it's just interesting to hear all you haters be so childishly critical of him; what have you contributed to the world of music? George doesn't have to put himself out there but he chooses to do so good and bad. I'm sure many of you can play Lynch, Van-Halen, Malmsteen, Rhoads etc.... note for note even more accurately than they could...but what does that make you? That's right, copiers; you've created nothing on your own or at least nothing that amounts to much. To quote an old movie, you're not even the beginning of a pimple on George Lynch's ass. Show some respect.
George doesn't care what people like. George plays what he feels like playing.
Well said. Plus he is improvising so you can expect a wrong note here and there. George is a legend
True
So people have to be published musicians to have an opinion? Stop white knighting for George- it’s sounds terrible. It doesn’t take a professional or even a musician to conclude that.
@@4825ph Never said you have to be published musicians to have an opinion. But your opinions, especially hateful ones can be criticized.
Man, I hate to see George getting older. :(
it happens and it sucks
thats life broski, its up to us to keep this music alive and keep their influnces alive through our music we can together make
It’s inevitable. One things for sure.. George is still rockin and creating for us all. For that, I have great respect for him
Same here. Fortunate to seen him at least once.
Oh c'mon guys he looks amazing for his age he just stopped dying his hair no big deal. Still an awesome guitarist and that's what counts.
Great interview and the jam at the end 👍🏻
my guitar hero!!!
Why is it that every clinic I’ve seen with him, his sound guy always fucks up the volume of the backing tracks
I DON'T think he has a sound guy......George always has issues with his sound....clinics...shows...he's ALWAYS fuckin messing with his stuff....
Being in my 60s, I can really appreciate George with his heart and soul that he puts into playing
I just bought an ESP LTD Eclipse Les Paul type guitar. Excellent quality, no buyers remorse. I’ve played inexpensive guitars my whole life and the Eclipse is at another level. Mine is not even a high end model, either!
People evolve..... some people want to keep you the same. But, that is not thr nature of life. Thank you Mr. Lynch, moments I was lucky to have experienced
To anyone that's not entirely convinced by George's playing lately, please check the KXM records if you haven't already. Dude can clearly write/play killer riffs and solos.
Yep...keep hearing people say "he's lost it " and that is not the case. The last few shows I saw him at he absolutely burned and I saw him several times back in the late 80s early 90s as well. He varies up his tone a lot more but in settings like this...he's obviously not in his best form but anyone who says he has lost it....clealry hasn't seen him in his element in recent years.
So the recording on the vid wasn't post studio quality. Gawd😱! STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARS ON THE PLANET, IGNITED LA NWH
M MOVEMENT. THEY DON'T KNOW.
Studio stuff, clearly still has it.. as a live improviser… I mean that intro solo/improv at the beginning.. pretty rough. (This coming from a big fan). Gotta love that he’s so active on the web etc.. more access to the Lynch mind in the last 10 years than the previous 25.
KXM is absolutely amazing!
Lynch never fails to be the nicest guy in the room. I love this guy.
People who think Lynch has lost his touch, look up his quarantine jam. When he sticks with the usual scales and modes he knows well, he hasn't lost much at all. The problem is he's trying to play all improv jazz and dissonant here, when by his own admission he's musically illiterate. That rarely works out well. Standing with a 14lb Kamikaze 1 slung for over an hour at his age is impressive enough.
I'm the same; I never use theory while playing and I hate improvising for that reason. I tried to learn for years but it limits me and not as fun. Maybe that's wrong; I still wrestle with that thought...but I hate learning that stuff and I'm better without it. If people ask me to play guitar, I cringe at the thought unless I have something worked out.
Improv jazz??????
@@RotterStudiosI know the basics and im trying to learn more. I know I ll stop when i get to the chords of 7th or 9th grade that are almost never used in metal, cause i play metal. Learning is good for not going out of tune or transmiting different emotions in a solo or in a part of a solo.
@@serpent_lord4 I play by ear....it never lies.
Jazz improv isn't about dissonance, it's about 2-5-1s and playing over (fast) changes, modulations, it's a specific discipline, a kind of language. You can't do it just play playing some random "wrong notes" in some chord progression, there is MUCH MORE to it than this...
Just saw Dokken and Lynch in Biloxi, MS. This era was before me, yet I developed love for 80s metal. Dokken were without Lynch the
He first hour, but when he came in he literally made the show. Dokken voice has come down as expected after 35 years and a recent surgery, but Lynch looks like he did not age a second. His style adds sooo much richness to the music. Very enjoyable. Definitely worth watching him live with a band!
I was at that show too!!! Totally agree with you. George definitely made that show, totally could have done without Dokken and listen to Lynch Mob all night!
Brilliant guitarist and writer.👍💯
Also....George is playing more of a Holdsworth progressive jazz style now which is very kool!
Holdsworth?
Your tripping again.
@@nickmartin812 He's probably imagining it in his head...
Love Georges' work. Grew up trying to play his stuff. Yea he's old and so am I.
Not old in my eyes. ❤
George moved on, Dokken is in his rearview. He's 67 and still creating killer music. Before covid, he put out a lot of records with different artists.
And post covid he seems to be dropping them like crazy. I think him and Pilsen have like 4 projects going right now. I just with that he had used better production on his solo album, cause the mix sounds awful!
@@lorenmorgan1931 why mention COVID?
@@donavonmacallister3101 Because he had a shit ton of time at home when no one was touring to write a lot of new material? Dude has a plethora of new material. He's playing at the club at the end of my subdivision in July, I am so stoked to see him.
When the cd ghetto blasters were affordable the first thing I bought was 5 Dokken cds. I didn't follow personalities at the time until much later. All I knew was there were conflicts in the band. I watched the interview with Don in his later years and thought hmm wonder if he's the good guy. Then I watched this and George seems like a real thoughtful person and artist. Maybe everyone matured.
the live rig stuff at the end is way better than the computer stuff at the start
I'm kind of wondering about something. I'm a 53 year old metalhead. Grew up playing the guitar since I was 10, played in a lot of metal bands, in a lot of bars and festivals around the area where I grew up. I grew up on a steady diet of AC/CD, Ted Nugent, JP, Maiden, Sabbath, Ozzy, Van Halen, Accept, Dio, Def Leppard, The Scorps, Metalica, etc., etc., etc..., and then of course in my 20's a smorgasbord of 80's bands like Motley Crew, Megadeath, Dokken, etc., etc., etc... too many to list, and I idolized the likes of Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Zakk Wylde, again too many to list. So recently my wife and I watched the Netflix movie "The Dirt" about Motley Crew, and she asked me a question which got me thinking. She asked, "Does watching this make you feel young again?" and it got me thinking. Of course watching some of the things Crew went through brought back memories. I remember hearing "Live Wire" for the first time, and falling in love with it, and then how exited I was when they released their second album and just being blown away by "Looks that Kill," and although very simplistic, how incredibly cool it sounded. I remember when Vince Neil's accident was in the headlines, hearing the news that Nikki Sixx had died, etc... Pretty much any time I watch a documentary about one of my favorite bands, that warm feeling of nostalgia washes over me, as I'm sure it does many of you. HOWEVER, it really only took me a couple of seconds to answer my wife's question, "Does it make me feel young again?" and the answer was quite honestly "The exact opposite!" Especially when I see a video like the above vid with George Lynch, whom I haven't so much as even seen a picture of in over 20 years, and then suddenly "WOW! He got old!" Which then only makes me feel my age. Actually, aside from the long white hair, he actually looks great. As for myself, I got bald and fat. WAY bald! Like, "oh you might as well just shave it and go with that look for the rest of your life" bald. I know I'm not old, per se. It's not like I'm shopping for retirement homes or anything, and I still play my guitar, but by no stretch of the imagination to I think I'd look even remotely cool on stage playing a bunch of old 8o's covers. God bless the guys who still do. As sad as it can look sometimes, I'm always thankful someone is keeping it on life support. HOWEVER, the point of this is, I'm just wondering, does anyone else think of this the same way I do? Do videos like the one above, or even seeing some old 80's music videos of your favorite hair bands make you feel young again, or like me, does it make you feel old? Yes, I realize mine is a glass is half full way of looking at it, but it is what it is. I don't avoid looking for this kind of stuff. In fact, I dive down that rabbit hole white often. I do love that warm feeling of metal nostalgia. My poor kid, I often finding myself dragging my 11 year old son away from his iPad from time and time, MAKING (yes MAKING) him watch videos of my old favorites, and schooling on something interesting about the band. In fact, the other day he learned all about how a tragic accident resulted in Def Leppard going from being just another good metal band, to having a one armed drummer, reinventing their entire sound and writing style, and basically inventing a whole new Metal sound, which then catapulted them to being one of the biggest music success stories on the planet. However, at the same time it does make me feel old. Just wondering, anyone else? (FYI: I still think AC/DC is the greatest band to ever exist. You simply can't sit still to an AC/DC song. It humanly impossible:)
It doesn't make me feel young or old. It should encourage people that it's possible to carry on a craft well into your years. It amazes me to see John Fogerty perform like he did decades earlier and now I'm a fan. I didn't grow up with his genre of music, I was a victim of my siblings disco, pop, jukebox hits.
What?
Still sounds pretty good to me.
Blows most players away.
Wow, he was my greatest guitar influence. Sad to see him getting older but love that he doesn’t look like a Hollywood freak. Real musicians don’t need hair dye or bad plastic surgery.
Why do you say it's sad to see him getting older? What's wrong with that? You do realize that every person on earth gets older every day. Why in the world would you think that is sad?
People hating on the improv dude is just fucking around man this guy is a shred monster check his history
Such a great guy. Smart as fuck and a class act.
Where bite, tone,sustain ,vibrato and heart meet ,you'll find George. Don't sweat the small details, he's the real deal......still
Better technic then the 2003 clinics The ESP'a beautiful Guitar
He seems incredibly nice.
But wait there's more
It seems he is in some Jimi Hendrix phase now. He does not know what he will play at all, because it is completely improvised. But he is truly legend.
Hendrix phase???
Do you know anything?
Ok I came fron the 80s heavy metal days. He's playing his own wave here. Good for him but knowing what he could do i really expected something heavier. It was cool to listen about his experience
He’s definitely let his chops go now that he’s older but in his prime he was amazing
It depends on the night and the setting. Clearly here he is coming in cold and just kinda winging it....but Last 2 Lynch Mob shows I saw he was absolutely in top form. He varies his tone a lot more than he did on the first few Lynch Mob tours and Dokken etc...but dont think he cant still deliver the goods because thats not a true statement. I mean hell...even EVH had some nights that were OFF.
Great
What pickup is Lynch using in the Kamikaze here??
Why is the volume so low?
This is so cool . I thought maybe boring at first, but I love the honest answers ! Thanks so much pitbull . Now I don’t feel so bad about ordering so much gear from you guys! Lol 😝
What capture card did u use? For the muti angles
*saves to favorites*
I already have in my playlist
.. George has some very wise advice here.
Is there anyone else who think this time George look like Geralt of Rivia ?
Lynch looks like a grandpa now with that gray hair lol
Maybe Geralt’s older brother who has been a little too sun dried and cured LOL!
EVH. THEN MY FAVS ARE JAKE E LEE, GOERGE, VIV CAMPBELL, WARREN DEMARTINI., NEAL SCHON, STEVE LUKATHER. in no particular order. Love Gary Moore, AS WELL FROM THE BEST GENERATION OF ROCKERS. 1980's were the best time for great guitars
wow! that opener was absolutely horrendous! was he ever in the same key? that was mr scary in and of itself
wish you guys would also have drums sets and drumming gear in store
Pitbull-how do i get an invitation for the next one?
Pie doesn't bind the universe it's merely the relationship between the circumferance and the diameter of any circle!
@@dracandros lmao ...
No matter who you are, or what you.....age robs you of your glory.
I will say this is one of my favorite instrumental album creators by far!!! But, why does he not arrange to face his audience the whole session???? I don't get this. It may give some of the live viewers he's hiding something???? No love loss...just a question???
I heard, hear ã Storm Brewing
anybody knows what amp sim Lynch using in this video?
Neural dsp
i woulda asked him what it was like having metallica open for dokken in the 80's
Does anybody knows which song is at 13:36?
Saw him recently with the Lynch Mob. He played like a demon and stayed around and talked with anyone who wanted to meet him. His wicked, freaky sound and playing can be imitated but not duplicated. He is some kind of blessed, musical genius. I don't even think he quite understands how he does it. Also - the guy who drinks wine and plays better - sure, you just THINK you sound better!
This is gonna sound funny anyone know the model of the pants George is wearing they are dope lol
Naw bro I thought the same thing! They look exactly like something I'd wear, I wanna know too! Lol
“True Religion” is the brand
👍
Should try playing over EDM. Seriously. His arabic jazzy soloing would work well
I hope he is alright..
Still got it, babe.
It would sound better if the backing track were louder. As is its almost acapella so the context is missing.
Killing Me Again
Dead Again and, Again
ESP!!!
Queen 👑
King
Again
2:18 the moment you realize you've been playing in the wrong key the whole time cos your guitar is tuned down a half step...
Is it only me or george's pupils are HUGE in this video?
46:25 George sold the original Tiger??
From dokken right that was a pretty cool gatur
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 that’s like Jimmy page selling his Les Paul... I wonder if ESP will release a Replica...
@@hardrockrelics2157 the tiger strips its worth a lot of money. a couple thousand dollars .
WTF!!! Insane!!! 😜😅😂
Get that dude a sound guy
Wait so did he sell the tiger?!!!
No he has the original one with him. The replicas of the tiger are made by ESP.
6:29 Did he say innerverlts?
Intervals)))
People :Don Dokken can't perform anymore.
George Lynch: Hold my beer
Can't believe how much he's aged.
me too.like he's been not taking care of himself..
@@michaelsteven1090 He works out, but I think it's too much sun tanning, which we know damages your skin. The gray hair adds more to the years.
He's like 67. And he let his hair go gray
Steroid use doesn't help
Sometimes when you improvise over backing tracks, you just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Sometimes it sounds like rotten beef, and sometimes it sounds like a sweet ass pineapple fritter. Whatever.
Play Ja Ja Ding Dong
Uh oh. What happened here?
George has lost some fire. I saw dokken with crokus in the 80's and if I remember right he didn't o d on the delay back then. To tell you the truth I can't stand all that delay. You can't distinguish the notes he's playing. They run together. Definitely think he's the best guitarist that I've ever heard live back in the 80's. As far as the video goes, I've heard him sound better.
Dude since 80’s almost 40 years you know.. people change, preferences changes, we all like 80’s but stuck at it? No
Krokus 🤘
groovy
50:00
Ouch.
I'm a huge Lynch fan and have been for years......but this is, I don't know.....almost mindless noodling on the guitar it appears. The guy is a monster player for sure, but there doesn't seem to be any direction or cohesiveness to this. I would have preferred a couple of instrumental run throughs to this. His latest recordings rock, but this isn't any more than what you would hear in any music store by a guy trying out gear. Didn't hold my attention.
My dad is dokken
I agree Terry....loved his mid 80's too early 90's but not anymore....sad but understandable.....
Total in agreement with ya. Alot of what he played here was like what in the hell is he doing.
11:30
15:40
His diet back in the 80s probably consisted of some coke or speed to be honest :P In my opinion he's also lost his style from that era which is sad cause I loved it. He's a very intelligent person as it turns out.
he evolved which is what an artist is supposed to do.
As a life long fan of his playing and how it shaped mine, he evolved.
But there are pieces of his old style sprinkled all throughout this. Just evolved in some ways and devolved in others.
Awkward...But what a legend...it’s almost like he doesn’t have enough gain on his guitar sound..But why is he playing out of time? Strange
