Perfect timing!!! I was just listening to this song right now!!! In fact I had it cranked up in my truck doing 80 on the highway!!!! Great job on the solo man!! 🔥
@@gbalulis That "Back for the Attack" album is so good. Every song has a killer solo, I mean just smoking hot. Tapping, pentatonic, dive bombs, harmonic bends, etc. I've always wanted to learn EVH and George Lynch type of runs. After watching you play this solo, I'm going to slow it down and try and follow along man on my nice white Strat! Hey man, thanks for making this video.
@@ChicagoBeaver with you 100%. The guitar onslaught on BftA was amazing! I also posted a walkthrough of this solo, in case you might have missed it. Take care! G
@@gbalulis Yeah, I can imagine that! George was on top of his game when was in the studio to record that album. All the solos on BFTA are masterpieces by themselves. His phrasing alone is in a league of its own. There's a live version of Dokken playing Kiss of Death with John Norum on lead guitar and he was damn impressive as well!
Norum certainly has my respect. You said it best, though: George’s phrasing and execution are nearly without equal. Every time I work one of his solos up, my left hand accuracy improves. Loved hearing how he and MacAlpine influenced one another during that era. G
That was f****** fantastic. I recently listened to the amazing 1.5 hour interview with Don Dokken (Chuck Shute channel) where Don said this song was written about the real danger of AIDS and women groupies!!! 😮
Thanks! I remember that topicality when the album came out. Social studies teachers everywhere were floored when students submitted those lyrics for social commentary essays! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🎸🙂
I could be wrong, so please take this with a grain of salt, but it sounds like you might be playing too many notes in the ascending/descending run of the solo. It might be a timing issue instead, though. It just doesn't seem to match up with the original recording. You're an excellent player, though and please keep up the great work.
No offense taken. I started that run about a beat too late and slightly faltered on the speed follow-through at the end. This wasn’t “the take”, but I liked it. Thanks!
Not ruling out a re-post at some point, but this is the type of thing I could play 200 times on camera and not nail everything. Not a retaliatory remark, just candor. Cheers
@@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy I use an app called “Amazing Slow Downer”. It allows you to slow something down as slow as 25% of the original speed, save loops and EQ many ways. It’s tedious as all getout, but worth it when you really love the piece. Muddy mixes and imprecise players are always harder to transcribe. In my experience, Lynch amd Malmsteen have been the cleanest and clearest.
@@gbalulis by the way, I just want to take the time to mention that your cover of the heaven sent solo is excellent. It's by far the most accurate version on the web. Yngwie and george are also some of my favorite guitarists, so cool to you hear you mention them both in the same sentence. Cheers
If you can replicate Mr. Scary, you've got serious chops. Well done!
Thanks a bunch, Rob. 🙂🎸
That was class that one of my favorate Gorge Lynch solos ever well done Sir! 🎸🔥🤘🏻 you rock!!!
Thanks! Really appreciate the kind words.
😎👍🏻🎸

Dude, you're killing these iconic solos.
I just became a fan!!!!!
Truly flattered. Thanks so much for the note.
Cheers,

Thank you! 🙂😎🤘🏻🎸
Clean🤘🏻
Thanks so much!

I love Lynch and that was awesome
Many thanks!
That was a toughie. GL always had a passage where he’d buck you right off the bronco in most of those heyday solos.
Take care!
😎👍🏻
G
very nice and you had some perfect holding notes that were as good if not better then the original. Very impressive!
Thank you, Hank. Very humbled and grateful to read that. These are never easy.
Take care!
👍🏻🙂🎸

🤯🤯🤯🤯 another mind-blowing solo. Awesome. Have you made a video on all of your HM strats?
Awesome! And you've got a great tone too!
Hey thanks! That one was a toughie.

That's just BadAss!!
Thanks!🙂🎸🤟🏻
Man! Good job ,,there are a few parts I was curious how he played them. Because its hard to watch his fret hand ....well thanks for showing us .
Hey Dale!
My pleasure! Took some serious work to dig it out, but it is somehow always worth it.
Take care,
G
🙂🎸👍🏻
Wow!
Thanks, Nu!
🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🙂
Cool, man.😁
👍🏻😎🎸
Whammy bar parts sound cool. It was all good.
Thanks!
🙂🎸

Well done sir, Nailed it! I have the same guitar, one of my favorites to. Do you have the tab for this or offer a lesson? Subscribed!
Thanks, Johnny!
I actually did a walkthrough video of this solo.
Thanks for your views and kind words!
👍🏻🙂🎸
G
could you do a tutorial of your lynch tone on the peavey vypr?
That was f****** fantastic. I recently listened to the amazing 1.5 hour interview with Don Dokken (Chuck Shute channel) where Don said this song was written about the real danger of AIDS and women groupies!!! 😮

Do you want to sell your pink strat? I used to have the same guitar and want it again!
Heya Jeff!
That’s best sounding one of the bunch. 😉 Sorry, but I am not in the market to move it.
Cheers,
😎👍🏻🎸
G
💯
Thanks, B!

@@gbalulis 👍
Awesome! What do you record your vids with? Your in room video mic sounds killer
You’re going to laugh…
It’s my iphone on a tripod 2.5 feet from the speaker cabinet. 🤪😉😎
Thanks, Aaron!
@@gbalulis not surprised actually. We’ve come a long way from Beta Max
Sick, what amp?
That one was the Hughes & Kettner Grandmeister 36 on the lead channel.
rosewood neck on a sig series?
Yes. The Kamikaze has an ebony board, by contrast. 🙂🤘🏻🎸

@@gbalulis out of curiosity, how is it that you go about learning these kinds of things? Is it a lot of slowing it down and stuff like that?
