George Lynch's "In My Dreams" solo (Definitive Version)

awesome bro!! Huge Lynch fan!

Hi dude, here is some constructive critisism. At the beginning of the solo there are two tap harmonics. The correct way to get two harmonics is to tap them both at the 14th fret. However, you only tapped one of the harmonics at the 14th fret. The second harmonic was a pinch harmonic which is supposed to be tapped at the 14th fret as well. I hope this helps man!

@GHGod97 Heya Steve!Always good hearing from you.Believe it or not, that second harmonic, when slowed down to 45-25% speed of the original recording, reveals two things: 1) It is distinctly attacked twice 2) The scrape of a pick attack is unquestionably present on the second attack.It is apparent when heard back-to-back in contrast to the first harmonic. George teaches this solo in a video, and wholesale misrepresents at least 60% of the solo in it.He doesn't remember it (by his own admission).

[gbalulis]

@GHGod97 (continued). The same pitch, however, is achieved with a 14th fret tap harmonic as well.

With all said and done, I appreciate your input and support.

Hope the guitar shopping's going well.

Yea I know that wasnt your comment. Personally I like constructive criticism cause it helps me to improve. Dont get my wrong your a superb guitar player. I have been recently re-learning the Heaven Sent solo and let me tell you, that one you DID nail and that is way harder to me than In my Dreams. Its gonna take me a couple of months to get that one down. Gonna send you a couple of messages so check your box.

[gbalulis]

@b717 All good. I appreciate your compliments. I feel you are quite a strong player yourself (wil listen to more of your stuff today). Heaven Sent was a labor of love for sure. I was a tad preoccupied with keeping on schedule in the IMD video (particularly the left hand trill), so the vibrato probably suffered for that.

Look forward to hearing from you,

George

@gbalulis i have always noticed that. it does sound like he picked the note.  sorry you were right. :)

[gbalulis]

@GHGod97 No apology is necessary, Steve. I applaud your objectivity and tactfulness.

Happy New Year!

Ive listened to it several times and also recently recorded and uploaded my own version. It is not an easy solo to play. He did an excellent job but its not perfect and the fast run at the end is not exact. I suppose thats why there is only one George Lynch. Sorry if you do not like constructive criticism.

[gbalulis]

@b717 Don't mind it at all. That was not my comment you responded to. The vibrato in this one was admittedly slightly tight/nervous. Felt your version was well played.

[b717]

Good job!! Your vibrato does need some work and the solo sounds a bit  rushed but its almost there!!!!

At first I thought there may be some discrepancies and can understand if you have not listened to the original in a while how you might remember it a bit different than it was actually recorded. I did an A B comparison with the original recording and gbalulis's version matched up perfectly with only one very minor discrepancy in a sustained harmonic that was induced by a feedback anomaly when the original was recorded. Also the vibrato is not bad so you may want to listen again.

Amazing video.

Have a great 2012

Cheers,
