Chordplay - The Chords Of George Lynch

Музыка

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords Of George Lynch. I've had a lot of requests to feature more of George's music/ideas, and while I've created three Three-For-All lessons and two Dokken-related Chordplay episodes featuring his inspiring music, there's still plenty to notice, learn, and absorb from this hard rock guitar legend - so let's dive into his playing style a little deeper!
The ideas in this lesson were pulled from various Dokken and Lynch Mob albums, including plenty of George's "Twisted Chord" riffs and rhythm work, including sections from songs such as 'Just Got Lucky,' 'Unchain The Night,' 'Night By Night,' 'Wicked Sensation,' 'Dance Of The Dogs,' 'Back For The Attack,' 'Tangled In The Web,' and much more!
Needless to say, if you're a fan of George Lynch and Dokken & Lynch Mob you'll find plenty to sink your teeth into hiding in this episode, but for those new to George Lynch's music and the plethora of interesting ideas he's uncovered on the guitar - get ready, as this lesson contains a lot of great ideas and inspiring twists to standard chords and progressions.
Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!

    No doubt. George told me years ago he lost over 1.1 million on that 1990 cd......which was a loss financially. I was like, how? Ha....Incredible release, but we know what happened in 1991-1992. Thanks for video David

    Amazing... my 2nd favourite guitar player ever. Mr. Scary is killer. His harmonics and unnorthodox approach to guitar is so cool. I love the use of triads and sus chords that he, Warren de Martini and Jake E. Lee made. And, of course, the king, EVH. As you said it yourself, there's a very strong relation between the way Warren, George and Jake play, and they are all kind of post-EVH generation, although George is older, but definitly they all drinked on EVH. I consider Nuno Bettencourt to be a kind of an "late post-EVH era" rock guitar player; the generation of players that where majorly influenced by Eddie.

Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful to you and your musical taste, but you keep showing ideas and bands I knew about but wasn't in to back in the day. Now I want to buy everything put out by too many bands. I need to win the lottery to afford all of the music you have introduced me to that I honestly dig. I guess wisdom does come with age. Dammit.

    George Lynch is one of the best guitar players to come out of the 80s LA metal scene. Very impeccable playing. There's a 2013, HQ YT vid of his group live in Japan that really is a treat to see, where he plays Lynch Mob and some Dokken tracks. Awesome guitar playing, and he's playing his famous tiger-stripe guitar in that show, too.

    Cheers for this! Lynch isnt a guitarist that comes to mind of you ask me to name my favourites, but looking back his rhythm and lead playing is absolutely spectacular, he's one of the few guitarists with a sound of his own and I love the big extended chords he uses; such great texture especially in a single guitar band.

    I heard someone post a stupid comment about how George sounds like he doesn't know how to play anymore. I don't agree with that at all, but in think a lot of people don't understand George is always learning new stuff and he's not content to just stay with the same stuff he did in the 80's. Seems like he's always coming up with some new stuff. Honestly, I don't always like it and I'm stuck on his 80' s style stuff, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he is a legend .
