George Lynch, has what most guitar players don't have. A distinct style, years of experience, Gold and Platinum records , accolades from real musicians that admire him. But to me that all frivolous.What matters to me his music with Dokken, Lynch Mob etc.. His work has been a light to me in the good times and dark times. The fact is that is he is a great real person is the icing on the cake.

Amen. Lynch for President.

Can't believe that all my 37 years of playing and being a Lynch fan since the early '80's that before this video I saw a 9 minute Blues type instructional and just one note, one! My pentatonic runs sound like him. Cool.

What a beautiful natural vibrato, not too wide or narrow! Wonderful player.

Muzzer27 yeah i been groving on George since the 80s ...killer tone ...feel ...and writing...but the passion for guitar...thats what he brings..never stops...just bought a vintage esp....super hyped...

His sound is so unique. Even if it's something you've never heard before you can tell it's Lynch. This man took the guitar and shaped the sound to exactly how he wanted it, no holds barred. That's why I'm such a huge Lynch fan!

I was at this workshop in Ft. Wayne Indiana... Row 4... He was the coolest to talk to and stayed wayyyy longer than he wanted to for the people who were there to answer ?s and just talk, was a fun nite and a dream come true for me, he was the reason i started playin guitar in 1986!!

Georges guitar playing gives me a wicked sensation

You´re a hero for speaking on behalf of the Original Americans George !

Amazing man! always been so humble, great musician hope he is around along time

your a great human George and one of my favorite players ever. your evolving like us all and i love the right hand techniques..

George is the greatest been a fan for 30 + years finally met him in June 2015 really down to earth guy was lucky to spend alittle time with him talking after a show.

+Paradjian Michaël Yup, I always knew Lynch was a humanitarian and had a very sincere personality and so it follows just and correct he speaks out about the (design) that is going to wipe out many ethnic groups as these atrocities are b'coming more prevailant not a 'thing of the past'. Love you Mr Scary!

Have loved his style and musical vocabulary since I was a teenager (47 now)... Truly one of the masters

Nothing but love and respect for George. One of my all time fave guitarist. Pure inspiration though, I play bass guitar. I track all of his stuff. Just drives me.

I been a fan of George s guitar playing since the 80s, inspirational guitarists and human being, one of the best for sure.

That was great George rocks he is the total package

Lynch have an awesome personality.Totally down on earth.

What nice ( get together ) you put together ESP..Thanks George, it's a shame you didn't mention anything about SWEET&LYNCH...

Wow..!! after the Trudell reference their friendship and support for the first peoples i am in awe of his humility and gentleness and humanity the calmness to describe the direction of the time and the truth of history.. George is my hero.. Guitar Hero that is. 😈

Great performance here. Nice use of dynamics and perfect melodic control. In general I have noticed that he's a bit less aggressive as he gets older but that's natural. I miss it, but this is off the charts in terms of his incessant use of highly developed technique used in the service of the song. It's like a vocal line with greater range that's never stops. This is one of his best "recent" performances. I hope he's capable of getting back to this level again. This is the sound I fell in love with perhaps somewhat mellowed and more restrained with age.

Awesome tone ! Awesome Player !!

That second song he jammed on is killer!

Sempre Fortissimo!❤ GRANDE George!!!!!... Saluti dall'Italia....

George is NOT HUMAN! NO man should be THAT good!! Lol. I bought the Yngwie instructional video, within a few months got a lot of itdown, NOW I bought Georges video and after about 3 months I wanted to chuck my guitar across the room! He's so fucking good its sickening!! Love ya George!

Both have very idiosyncratic styles. Malmsteen absolutely revolutionised rock guitar playing .. in terms of the way rock guitar players played the instrument. Sweep picking, arpeggios super fast economy picking etc. he utterly changed the game. George didn't have that big of an impact. His technique is not that far removed from Van Halen, and Eddie gets the credit for popularising tapping, whammy dive bombs, pinch harmonics, fast picking etc.. Nevertheless, George is an awesome player, and Under Lock and Key is one of my favourite albums.

George isn't talking about politics, he's talking about the media, how it continues to pull the wool over our eyes, so to speak, and he's explaining what inspired him and his fellow musicians to write the songs and music that they have and do, music comes from somewhere, something spurs the motivation to write, something; an event, a tragedy, something that makes us wake up and fight the good fight (yes cliche, although oh so true) so we don't remain static, so that we don't lie down when things are clearly wrong, so that we speak up, musicians do that with...their music, the music is their language, full of the richest vocabulary. Enough about that, George still has incredible "chops" and has not changed as a player; phrasing, note selection, execution...everything spot on, everything is still there, the distinct slide vibrato, George's wider and more soulful vibrato, period (you can try to reproduce, although George and only George can play the way he plays) legato (especially the two handed technique done only with his left hand, also one of the coolest and distinctly played by the one and only George Lynch, not to mention incredibly difficult to execute in an effective and most importantly, affective manner) watching George play is a real gift. The little places where players seem to miss notes, don't play perfectly (oh yeah, we're all human so we're not perfect, we can't be) those are the really incredible moments, those moments are what separate the live musician from the studio. Musicians can't take the studio with them, it would get quite heavy, George, thanks for inspiring all of us throughout all of the years and all of the tears shed on your guitars; thanks for sharing and continuing to share your tremendous gift with all of us. LISTEN, don't judge, and remember the many trails of tears, the battle that wounded a knee, the battle, AGAIN, that wounded the same knee for the same insanity hundreds of years later, these are real people, killed by genocide and hate, George is giving back and bringing the wrong into the light with his music so that we can all begin to heal (yeah, haven't even begun yet and that's horrible after all of these thousands of years) because for one culture to live, all cultures have to contribute to the healing, especially so those that were here first, the true owners of our land, can finally be heard, not for politics, not for being "liberal"... yada yada yada, we weren't born with labels and we will never have them, we were born as human beings, that's all that was ever intended.

Since the Dokken era, my favorite guitarist George Lynch! Please come to Japan and show off your Live performance. Hear'n Aid, launched by that legendary project, Ronnie James Dio, Stars in 1985! The best guitar playing was great. I would like to meet George Lynch.

The Q & A is really cool.

Excellent guitar player one of the " four horse man " super skilled and able to play a few crazy sounds faster then the speed of a bullet....but Extremely humble...would tell anyone "stop it I can't tell what notes I'm playing...or took me so long to find out...If you were playing a guitar string for the first time and couldn't tell the difference from a bass, he would try to play inferior to you only Not to make you feel bad

Ahh cool, Joe is a total sweetheart, he came in when I was a geek over at HelloNetwork in Vegas.

fire the sound duder

Two life changing events..... hearing Waiting for the Bus (Tres Hombres) 1974 and hearing Wicked Sensation 1991. Both these albums i have religiously played everyday since i got em. The first thing i though when i heard George was there has to be Billy Gibbons in there. How amazing to find that Billy Changed Georges life too. And what do these guys have that make the the players they are? Tone! and Phrasing! Wicked Sensation for me, is probably Georges finest as it all just fits together and his playing is awesome! Hey, but thats just me. Back to the drawing board, need to get some of those Lynch chops together. Luv Ya George! Awesome player and awesome dude too! And everything you said about the Indians? Very Very sad.... makes my blood boil? What gauge strings do you use? Applause!!!! Ha Ha!

The legend!!! Mob legend !!

WOW! I`m in a pentacostal church playing guitar! :) AWSM George!

GL is one of my heroes...he has an instantly-identifiable sound and melodic style and that's the mark of a master...i've owned over 300 (mostly hi-end and vintage) guitars and have gigged thegl256 for about 7 years...it's a phenomenal guitar that feels like a perfectly broken in pair of faded jeans...don't let the affordable cost fool you...my 256 is vastly superior in every way to my $3500 fender CS relic strat.

loved Lynch for decades and never knew his political lean was to the left.. Can always tell the good guys.. good deal!

I understand that it’s all about money/sales; but what a cool showcase of a great talent.

Excellent. too bad the sound man is ignoring you and not putting your guitar sound up front above the rhythm where it should be.

I find it horribly sad that any American would think that honoring those who were here before us, and ensuring that every US citizen has the opportunity to enjoy the rights, privileges and immunities of being an American, is either a "liberal" or "conservative" agenda. There is a subjective element to so much of our political bullshit, but right will always be right, and wrong will always be wrong. Kudos to George, who - despite all his very many successes and also failures, and despite pushing the ripe old age of 60 - still remains an absolute monster on the guitar, a true craftsman and artist, and a humble and grateful entertainer. Whether you like his music or playing or not, dudes like Lynch are a dying breed, enjoy them while you still can.

+lhsjoberg That's because the average american's political spectrum is about as wide as a flea's anal opening. The vast majority are propagandized to the point that they only see in those very narrow definitions of "lib" or "con". It's just easier for all of those narrow minded people to label the Chomsky's of the world as "liberal" when the reality is they are not even close.

OK so on quick glance the bass player kinda looks like Ice-T and the drummer kinda looks like that character that Data (Star Wars Next Generation) played on Independence Day.

Just a few thoughts, I think it's great he mentioned native Americans and how modern America is built on blood and bones of the natives. People should know that! George kinda lost his chops on the guitar but he's still true guitarist and a rocker, really cool and humble guy. Wish him all the best!

Native Americans also killed, tortured and oppressed each other long before Europeans came into their picture. It's not like they all got along like best friends before or even after that.

@@notacommie5415 George has the respect of so many pro's & considered 1 of the 3 most iconic guitarists of the 80's rock genre fir good reason. You agree with a 1 trick pony comment saying you'd sound just the same over these backing tracks I doubt, but if you've really got into his Dokken riffs & solos especially on the whole Tooth & Nail CD then still don't get it while holding on to a 1 trip pony stance, than you don't know guitar as covering of other's original creation isn't the craft. Creati g the original is and George had his own distinct tone and stylistic use of techniques of vibrato & slide no other used before or since like him. But his work throughtout the 80's is some if the most innovative, inspiring & passionate guitar work from all the players in that genre even if many emulated the style after. Now at a workshop 25 years after his prime in an age where technology can make any tone for the most simp if players when George came from an age where experimentation with equipment was how you foind your unique tone.
