    I saw George play 8 years ago, stood about ten feet from his gear, he had several amps that night including a soldano, the lynchbox and something else I can't remember but I do remember the soldano wasn't even on. One thing I noticed about his pedal board as it was about two feet in front of me,lol, and that was that he did not even have his signarure Morley wha on it. It was a crybaby. Got to meet George that night also, VERY COOL guy!

    This is a fantastic vid - thanks so much for posting. I've followed George since the first Dokken album & have always loved his playing. So great to see his gear up real close. I love the way he unplugs the fx so the batteries don't run down - so deliciously old-school...

    Actually George was around before Eddie. Eddie just made it first. Single humbucker strat, Marshall and Soldano are the things they have in common. Playing styles are really different. just looking at the effects they use. I'm very happy that we have both of them. What about Randy, Yngwie, and Maiden. It's a shame your ears aren't more open. Eddie is special, but guitar didn't die with him.

    I met Gerry back in 2009 at Sam Ash while he was on the phone with Lynch about guitar hangers. He sold me my first Jackson. Very cool guy.

    @momay69 ....it's also fairly well argued that "believe it or not" Ace Frehley may have been the actual EVH influence. Think about....Ace WAS doing it before Eddie AND Gene produce the first VH record.....sooooo. It definitely sounds like a plausible theory. No? I certainly can't confirm nor deny.

    what songs does george use the phase 90 on?

  • @zls9890
    @zls9890 14 років тому +1

    @REALCougarsRmales yeah. for sure he used them on Dokken's "Dysfunctional" album, on his Sacred Groove album, and I think he used a Bogner on the second Lynch Mob album.

  • @WarBeer
    @WarBeer 14 років тому +2

    @momay69 yeah, talk-box too. As I understand it...George was actually really praised in the early days....and that Gene Simmons was actually going to hear George play when he discovered Van Halen. I don't doubt it...I remember George saying that he was a fan of Eddies. I think those guys all checked each other out in that scene. I bet those were some pretty cool times:)

  • @WarBeer
    @WarBeer 14 років тому +1

    @WarBeer ....Heck, I could actually see someone coming up with it on there own. It's kind of a "logical" technique if you think about it? ...and has been "hinted" at in various forms form many years. Even some classical guitar pieces have some "different" RH techs. Violin "pizzicato's" even "sort of " elude to it. Either way...I'd love to know how Eddie came about it. I don't remember ....did the article say how GL came by it?

  • @strikeatic

    @momay69 many people tapped before eddie, old jazz players were tapping for years before eddie did. but eddie revolutionized it, doing that licks style noone had heard before

I really dig your video's you do a great job of getting all the little nitty gritty details and secret's during your interview's that many overlook!

    @skaterguitar4ever - I believe it has something to do with inverting the positive and negative frequencies to get rid of ground loop hum. Not 100% if that's what it does, but that's the only real practical situation I could think of.

  • @BlindedinChains444

    • @Bad_Phil
      @Bad_Phil 9 років тому +4

      Guitarmed And Dangerous Allot of it was his Soldano SLO, his Marshall Plexi was in there a fair amount as well.He's never without his MXR Phase 90 script, or his Keeley Modded Boss DS-1, and Boss DD-3 (I think) delay... aside from that, it was pretty much a free-for-all as far as pedals go.

    • @iLL_Corvo
      @iLL_Corvo 4 роки тому +1

      He had an instructional video around that time. Check it out. It shows him in the studio recording a lot of wicked sensation. You can get a glimpse of a lot of what he uses. Most of it is studio effects. He does run through his rig a bit and show off his guitars and stuff though.

  • @nelsondejesus2796
    @nelsondejesus2796 9 років тому +4

    Great tone through out his career ESP guitars and the Plexi Marshall tones not the ''Brown Sound'' the Lynch Sound clean Plexi high headroom tones on album after album and in the late '80s Monsters of Metal he ruled! Metallica was overdriven and beyond my like of distortion, Scorpions,Kingdom Come , Van Halen, but Lynch stood alone in his Quorum,.. even keeled,his phrasing was flawless he was even better than his band! At the time the only other principal was Warren DiMartini tonewise, may be Jake E Lee too. Its got to do with the choice of guitar,amp and how you measure up as MASTER of your domain. Up to par though Michael Schenker was a hard to beat number he was there before during and after for a time and by George so was Lynch! BTW the very best tone had to of come from Aspen Pittman's collection a '70 Purple 1959 100watt head I believe the tremolo model, he was the man with the Plexi as I read texts and his choice were best of no mods to his Plexis, pretty cool huh!! That was his Signature tone, ''Unmodded Plexis''!!

    • @js6729
      @js6729 9 років тому

      Nelson DeJesus Another really good tone from back then imo was from Scott hill and dave sabo of skid row

    • @nelsondejesus2796
      @nelsondejesus2796 9 років тому +1

      js6729 I saw them the complete unit before Sebastian Bach '86(?), at a NYC outing called ''The Cat Club'' just about a year prior to ''18 and Life''. The sound was there I couldn't forget the unique guitars they played, not the usual arsenal by far, and they were really great live on Saturday Night Live with Adam Sandler ''Monkey Business couple years later, I still have a VHS recording of it!! Back at the '86 night though I remember they had a great club sound not loud at all but tasteful housed in and very appreciated, the Main act was Atom Ant of ''I Want MY Heavy Metal'' fame, and he got shot glasses launched at him got cut short of his whole routine! By then Lynch was a World Wide phenom getting endorsements from Major European Amp Companies and being showered like a Prince he was in the Big Mags ahead of Van Halen,Michael Schenker too, which I got alot of reading done on Guitar World,Guitar, and 3 years before on Guitar Player on the AC/DC issue, he was King of the Glam World just they didn't call it that because he was a Guitar Personality! Good call you brought back alot of memories! btw These players Lynch,Malmsteen,Van Halen,Vai,Schenker, to name a few, they developed an ear that is their gift. They were meant to lead orchestras in that their time pieces had a specific classical annotations derived from the primary Blues scales of all things, they will quote Hendrix,Gary Moore, Peter Green because that muse of a concept was translated rather transliterated by the understanding that they would in turn take it to where it had the meaning they would eventually progress into their own fusion if you will, so if you took it a step further that concept would be another time piece within the current influences of today as they did also, that makes for alot of the understanding of today's virtuosity being so advanced as tomorrow's players can you only imagine, but like you and I we dig the tones!LOL!

    @momay69 You know what I've heard. That Billy Sheehan was doing it on Bass before both of them in the early 70's. Either way some unknown person probably did it before all of them. They have all done it incredibly well though and given tons to us all.

    @momay69
    Jimmie Webster made recordings in the 1950s using the method of two-handed tapping he described in 'Touch Method for Electric and Amplified Spanish Guitar', published in 1952. Webster was a student of electric pickup designer Harry deArmond , who developed two-handed tapping as a way to demonstrate the sensitivity of his pickups. Webster's approach was not popularly adapted.
    There you go.

  • @WarBeer
    @WarBeer 14 років тому

    @WarBeer ...surrounded Eddie. The guy apparently used to go out of his way to hide what he was doing from other players....and he's always been vague (or possessive sometimes) over his tapping origins. So, it's always been somewhat of a mystery. Apparently Ace (and I'm no KISS fan) was doing it before Eddie also. I don't know if it was before Lynch or not. I was only implying that maybe?...Eddie had seen Ace do it? Maybe he saw George...I don't know.

  • @Producersman
    @Producersman 14 років тому

    @REALCougarsRmales Yes he did on "The Lynch That Stole Riffness" he used a Bogner Ueberschall. I know this for a fact because the record was tracked by me at my studio.

    @jhs5150 12 років тому +2

    Roy Smeck played ukilele. Eddie revolutionized the way people played rock guitar - period. Lynch is excellent and so was Rhoads but with no VH1 album there would have been no Ozzy1 and no Dokken albums. I love how people try to rewrite history after the fact.

    @WarBeer 14 років тому

    @WarBeer ....BTW....my initial comment to you was in NO way negative. I've read about GL, MK, EV....for years....and I don't doubt the GL thing....I was simply adding a little side note that I thought you might have found interesting. You took it completely wrong...I actually like all of the guitarist we've been talking about. And in truth GL and EV are very different in their approach to tapping.

  • @WarBeer
    @WarBeer 14 років тому

    @WarBeer ....and I apologize for my earlier comment...I let you get me riled over some silly. Truthfully, if you're a kid...and you like Lynch...I'm glad. I hope you learn to play like him. In the end...we both must like this stuff or we'd not be here:)
    Anyways...they're all good players....and I really dug early Great White:)

    A Zoom multi? I mean, I have a 505II and it's a fun piece of gear for fucking around in the basement, but I wouldn't take it onstage at a bar gig let alone an arena.
    Also, has he disowned the G-Flex cabinet? I own that too and that thing is fucking nice as all hell but word is he doesn't use them.

    @innerkiwi Yeah man the MAB overdrive is smokin! I have been noticing alot of awsome players have been starting to use the MAB overdrive as it catches on like wildfire. MAB really nailed a sweet sopund out of that baby. I think it has the potential to in spirit anyways become almost like the TS808 ni terms of being a widly used staple in the next 15 years or so.

    Recent videos have George saying he has used Randalls "forever". Also Steve Stevens is on all sorts of vids claiming the gear is what he uses. I guess whoever hands you the "envelope under the table full of cash". Both GL and SS are 2 of my favorite guitarists, but these videos don't mean shit.

    • @London_Mule
      @London_Mule 10 років тому

      Kirk Hammett and Scott Ian did it for years and still do it with Mesa Boogie. They might use the current Randall stuff but its been pretty shit for the last half decade or so. Now that they have Mike Fortin designing amps for them, they might come back into being popular again.

    • @MikeToddOnline
      @MikeToddOnline 10 років тому

      Yngwie was "endorsed" by Aria Pro back in the 80s but other than 2 ads I remember from magazines of the era, he used an Aria V for ONE song live with Alcatrazz on the Metallic 84' DVD and one tour and it's in the Island in the Sun video. You can use anything you want when you're endorsed you just have to show a little love to the company here and there by appearing in public with it. It's all in the non-disclosure agreement Musician's sign when they are sponsored.

    • @MikeToddOnline
      @MikeToddOnline 10 років тому +1

      Benny Netenyahu Some Randalls seem really great and I know John Petrucci used them when he was poor and Gus G. uses one on his Instructional. I ALMOST bought a Mesa Mark V or Triple Rec but after hearing the EVH 5150 III I almost bought that until I discovered DIEZEL HERBERT and never looked back. If I ever bought another amp it would be a Diezel VH4 just for a little variety but man, once you shred on a Diezel there IS no turning back!!! :D

      I like Diezel's cabs. Much more controllable bass than Mesa's.

      @97warlock 6 років тому

      I loved what I heard with the Peavey JSX, then when Scott Ian said he has one at home & takes 2 on the road with him, its all the amp he needs for anything he plays ..........it sorta pushed me that last bit to buy it . And while Im glad I did because It is every bit as good as he said it is ........but then yeh, he brogs on other amps too & says about the same thing . But after 2 years, JSX for the moeny is the most brutally clean best amp you can buy imo. From innocent clean stuff to Doomy death metal & everything inbetween. I thinK Id even match it up to that Plexi in this video even.

    Goodness gracious people...you'll argue over peanut butter. Jimmy page used to Tap live--who the hell cares. What? no human ever thought of using his right finger on the fret board--its not Einsteins theory of gravity for goodness sake. The issue is who did it real good. I dont think Babe Ruth was the first guy to imagine the homerun swing as a viable, every day technique..but he did it best and brought it to forefront by hitting more than an entire team in a year. Same with Ed...its Eds baby

I only mentioned it...because of the secretiveness that has always....

  • @BrianMorrison71
    @BrianMorrison71 13 років тому

    If this is his rig then there are a number of problems. 1st problem, he's running his mod effects in his signal path instead of his fx loop. This is why his tone blows now. The Phase 90 sucks tone. The EVH phase 90 doesn't because Ed changed the sweep and boosted the mids. And that zoom pedal sounds like poop...
