  • It's NOT the tone that's bad, it's the recording that isn't so great... You people criticizing needs to post your own instructional videos with your "good tone."

  • WORST GUITAR TONE EVER!

  • HIs tone is fine for live stuff, but when teaching guitar, you need to clean it up a bit and turn the delay off so the students can hear clearly what you are doing.

  • @bomdelux you need to stfu! Lynch rules!

  • @MrRoger1969 Haha, what a well thought out response to my point. I know it's tough, but if you look really carefully, I didn't actually say anything about Lynch himself, just about his tone not being the greatest suited for teaching. If you don't understand the point I was making, I'll happily try and walk you through it once more.

  • @bomdelux Look pantywaist, I've played for over 30 yrs and you probably wouldn't know good guitar tone if it smacked you in the face.. Go eat some more of your mommy's Hot Pockets!

  • @MrRoger1969 Once again, some real insightful stuff there, but you are entirely missing the point again, you'll get it soon, I'm sure. The tone he has here, though fine for gigging, is too obscure to clearly pick out everything he is doing, and hence is not good for teaching. When you teach someone, they will need the clearest sound possible to pick out all the subtle nuances of what is being played. Do you get it now? I could try and supply a diagram if it'd help...

  • @bomdelux You're clueless. Do you get that now? I have a very good ear for music and I've played and recorded via various methods. You clearly don't know shit. Why don't you post something if you're so great to criticize one of the best? Idiot!!!

  • @MrRoger1969 I'm sure I have a bit of a clue, I have a degree in music and I'm a guitar teacher and have been for some years. The problem here is with your interpretation of what I'm saying. I'm not saying George is a bad player, he isn't. I'm not blindly saying that his tone is terrible because it isn't. I'm saying the tone he uses here is not the greatest for teaching (which is what he's doing) because the effects he is using (namely reverb/delay) are obscuring the notes he's playing.

  • @bomdelux Big deal your fucking degree - if you actually have one. I've played nearly 35 yrs so I don't give a shit - ok? Lastly, this is an older YouTube video that George probably didn't even intend to be published. GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!! Shall I get you a tissue for those tears while you go change your diaper??? Let it GO!!!

  • @MrRoger1969 I never disputed your ability, or George's, to play guitar. I've merely suggested all along that the tone displayed in this video was not the greatest for teaching and as the title is "George Lynch Teaches Guitar", I'm more than justified to do so. It seems that you are the one making such an issue of it, maybe you can spend the next 35 years learning to listen...

  • @bomdelux Okay, my point is that this was uploaded 6 yrs ago, and made who knows when. All I hear is a sub par recording sound which might be due to someone bootlegging this. Who knows, but if it was either recorded properly, or not copied and reproduced, it might be a lot better. Get OVER the TONE thing already or don't listen!

  • @MrRoger1969 The way he is presenting it looks like it is part of a series of instructional videos, probably for a guitar mag or something so it'd be safe to say George knew it was going on. The recording quality is fine (a little compressed, but it is youtube after all), the hiss in the background isn't bad recording, it is the gain on the amp. I merely expressed a politely worded opinion on the tone and you were the one who got all irate and defensive about it.

  • @bomdelux Dude quit being so anal and MOVE THE FUCK ON! I mean really, GET OVER IT!

  • @MrRoger1969 I've reiterated the same point again and again because you didn't understand what I was saying. I've merely stated my own opinion, which the comment section on youtube is for. I have not been abusive or angry, it was you who escalated the situation. Learn to play nice on the internet and this won't happen again.

  • Left side.. skull and snakes and GL56.. playing kamikaze.. but what about right side?

  • You guys suc this guyhs the bomb..

  • man thats a boss looking guitar, epic camo pattern

  • George Lynch rocks, it was his style of guitar playing that gave the band dokken there unmistakeable sound that to this day that everone knows by heart. that guy knows how to play some serrious kick butt guitar.

  • i like ur balck guitar with the green flames. its pretty cool.

  • He's playing a diminished lick right?

  • He might have an horrible tone in this video, but if you think that Lynch's tone is shit, you're a fool.

  • lol that so sucked!! lol i can randomly tap some notes and it'll probably sound better

  • George Lynch should never teach lessons

  • Damn that George Lynch, always stealing my riffs!!!!!!!!!

  • legend

  • i wish i could find the cover of the scorpions still loving you by george lynch with kix

  • this is only a warm up exercise for hammers & pull offs, I don't think it's meant to be really melodic. lol

  • Tokken!

  • HE HAS A AWSOME SOUND AND HES ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST EVER

  • holy shit this guy suck

  • @racerced stfu bitch. He is one of the best guirarists that has ever lived. Don't get jealous.

  • @SkilletOwnsUrFace452 are you kidding me?

  • lol....i love this guitarrist...but this is just a peace of shit...

  • @kpibaras It's a warm up you cunt, shut the fuck up

  • @diamonddust22 i hate this ....he can do better things with the guitar

  • @kpibaras Sorry for being so rude to you. It's just a little tip and a warm up, nothing more. A lot of people comment without even trying this. If a person actually tried it and tried to actually expand on it, they might come up with something. Billy Sheehan came up with his tapping by watching Billy Gibbons from ZZ top, and it was just a 1 seconds thing.

  • @diamonddust22 np man, i think he is a leyend of guitar, the next time ill process the things i say...

    i think in the solo of in my dreas, he do better staff that this...

  • @kpibaras I hear you on that.  We are both fans and we want more from the musicians we admire. Hey, and don't sweat it, I'm the king of saying stupid things, so I got you beat on that. Take care.

  • I dont like his tone to much over the last few years of his work. I much prefer the tone he had for the first 2 lynch mob albums, AWESOME!

  • @HeavyMetalVagabond It's a warm up exercise you stupid fucking retard.

  • @diamonddust22 Hey FUCKWIT. if you actually read comments properly youd realise i wasnt talking about the vid at all. His TONE LATELY, has not been very good (since Revolution Live etc). Youre yet another one of those smartass dipshits who come on youtube and run their mouth to try and make themselves feel better about being grade A loser. Do me a favour and dont reply

  • @HeavyMetalVagabond nice default reply. When you are qualified to talk about a man who has been playing for 30 years plus, then your words will have been of some value. You are not qualifed to talk about a 60 year old man who knows more about guitar then you know about living. Stfu, and go change your diapers bitch.

  • @diamonddust22 haha thats funny i thought i said dont reply :s if you read the comment again there was no criticism, no disrespect about Lynch's playing, jus stating my opinion that i preferred his tone in things he was playing in 20 years ago (ie early lynch mob) to this. Go suck his dick if you love him so much

  • @HeavyMetalVagabond No one gives a fuck about your useless opinion you unqualifed pussy coward. Shut the fuck up and get off the page your fucking failed guitar player.

  • @diamonddust22 its funny how the highest rated comment is about how his tone isnt too good, so clearly people agree. Pussy coward? coming from a guy who seems to get off bad mouthing people over youtube?... and as for failed guitar player, yeh im not as good as id like to be, nor are most people, but at least im not a failed george lynch wannabe like you who does nothing but plays guitar in his bedroom all day

  • @HeavyMetalVagabond You're not as good as you'd like to be, because you spend more time talking then practicing. Practice your guitar, and put your big mouth to rest. You are like all the other fat asses lazy mother fuckers who gave his so called bad tone a thumbs up, you sit on your ass doing fucking nothing on guitar while you criticize famous guitarists. Shut the fuck up and go practice and stop talking.

  • @diamonddust22 im not as good as id like to be cos i have a life outside sitting in my room playing guitar, but i aint no slouch. 'fat ass lazy mofo'? i play SS for my university and i box... and as i said before, there was no criticism in my original statement

  • @diamonddust22 You're mighty protective of ol' George. Re-read your comments and see how foolish you sound.

  • @shep79 Firstly I respond to people that write to me because that is how YouTube works, or haven't you noticed. Secondly, I respond to idiots like you who are too stupid and lazy to shut up and try to learn something from a video, but find it more important to make stupid ignorant comment, then wonder why they suck and can't play guitar or write songs worth a shit.

  • @diamonddust22 Hahah...fair enough! 

  • I dont prefer George Lynches music but he is a Damn good player.

  • his tone is fine ass clown

  • He Rocks!!!!!!!

  • WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY REMIND ME OF HARRISON FORD!!??

  • @J0hannski He remnds me of Thomas Haden Church lol

  • It's retarded when people diss other people's favourite bands. Dissing someone's taste in music is like telling someone you don't like their favourite colour.

  • He thinks he can tap??? Let's see how you play some michael romeo tapping arpeggios sucker

  • Honestly, that sounded awesome, you faggots who flame it are jealous you can't do it xD

  • @Nuclearlion73

    haha are you kidding me?? this comment makes clear to every1(who can play guitar) that you have never touched a guitar and that you are a stupid kid that can be impressed with the easiest guitar lick(that's why you think Lynch is a guitar god)

  • @DimiCOB I have guitars of my own, I play them every day, sorry that I don't have a stick up my ass like you do. Go back to listening to Justin Beiber, bro. He's probably your Guitar God. Inb4 NO I LIEK THA JONAS BROS BECUZ THEY R SO KEWL! Oh wait nvm, You like Children of Bodom, I see? You like shitty bands, your argument is invalid.

  • @Nuclearlion73 I actualy can do it, and this was useless. im surten hes a good guitarist but, this segment was rubish

  • The title is misleading.... You can't teach God...

  • I thought it was actually pretty cool

  • I think they messed up on the soundcheck for this recording. Normally George has some of the best tone out there.

  • i love george lynch but that was pretty lame....

  • @Alejandro1313sixx Yeah, I kind of thought so too

  • How does this Dojo thing actually work?

  • @EvanEli13 Apparently it doesn't work at all. Have you heard any of his live performances lately!!

  • shut the fuck up stupid kids

  • Oh go fuck yourself,and Fuck Spelling,I could give a Rats Ass about spelling on here to a Bunch of Fucking Idiots such as yourself. So Fuck off

  • Comment removed

  • Your composition skills are second only to your echo and mistake laden guitar playing and your homo-adulation for Lynch. Is English not your first language?

  • Here is what you said fruity:

    Your a Fucking Idiot,George Lynch is in his 50s and still getting Tons of Women.Meat Loaf is a Fat Ugly ass,I mean come on are you Blind,People Like you are Pathetic!!!!!!

  • Very basic diminished scale "lick"-- each note is consistently one and a half steps from the next. Maybe he knows his theory, or maybe he just "sounds it out..."

  • Too all you out there wanting to Put Down Lynch Fuck off,Check out His NEW BAND (Souls of WE) They Fucking Rock Him and London Legrande from (Brides of Destruction are tearing it up on the west coast and Now he's going on tour in Japan with Lynch Mob again,SO he's playing with 2 Bands Lynch Mob and Souls of We..... What's all these other Guitarist doing Lately,I will tell you a Secret about them there doing Nothinggggggggggggggggggg all you Gilbert,Satriani and Beach etc.etc. Fuckheads!!!!!!!

  • Lynch plays alot of nonsense most of the time. Bunch of tricks, licks, noises, but no real substance. This 35 second clip say it all.

  • @zemog630 and you just summed up the 80's right there. haha

  • Chad,

    As listed on the other board where you argued how good looking Lynch is, why don't you get it over with and get backstage and blow him? Then you finally be at one with your daddy you nut-hugging sloppy wanna be clone of Lynch. Most guitarists grow out of the hero worship stage in adolescence and turn it in to respect and try to develop their own style. You have taken a sick turn to obsession - get some help fruitcake.

  • I never Have said anything about George Lynch 's Looks and Saying the shit your saying I said,Man just Stick a Gun in your Mouth and Pull the Trigger,You will be doing the whole world a favor,George Lynch is Not by know means an Obsession with me ,I just RESPECT his Guitar Playing ,Unlike your Fucking Stupid Ass Does..Your a Waste of the Air you Breathe!!!!!!! Pathetic Fucking Loser)

  • Fuck he is shitty I don't want to learn guitar from him

  • if you were my math teacher i would totally fail :P

  • he has terrible tone omg

  • @GrayErhard: Here in this video, right? What you hear that is bad is the room's reverb, which in this case is frankly awful.

    George Lynch is a monster of tone.

  • @GrayErhard i agree

  • @GrayErhard George's tone is fantastic, but you're right. The acoustics in that room are really poor.

  • @GrayErhard

    Meh. His tone isn't really important for the purposes of the video. Also, you not liking it doesn't make it awful. What makes a guitar tone sound good is a very subjective idea that is as ephemeral as defining "good" versus "bad" art...

  • @trniquet His tone isn't important for the purpose of the video? It's so shitty you can barely hear what he's playing. Jesus fuck. I think George is one of the best guitarists ever but gtfo with this bull shit.

  • @GrayErhard

    It's the camera's lame mic. George has great tone.

  • @GrayErhard

    Yeah, you could totally tell the quality of the tone from a cameramic.. dumbass.

  • THATS  pretty much not usefull , HE CAN DO BETTER

  • WTF is with you?

    I never asked for any pictures you LIAR!

    I need to post a video of me playing...that would shut your cock-hole pretty quick buddy!

    Surrender or face the music!

  • And with lots of lube, YOU alexanderthewraith can be a tosser! Idiot! I'd bet that you couldn't play the simplest George Lynch stuff.

  • What's with the "shredder" rhetoric? I prefer hearing people like Lynch who plays with style and class, not someone who thinks speed licks are cool. And yes, YOU are gay alexfagderthetosser! You propositioned me to send you pics because you thought I was someone else. Clown shoes? Ah ha ha ha!

  • big fan of Dokken back in the day, i'm a old school metal, but George's time has pass, don't get me wrong he was a great guitar player.

  • So hes just not a good guitar player anymore? dumbass.

  • Wow SuperShitstrings, that was a boner sucking comment, especially after listening to you. In fact it was stupid by simply basing it off of youtube video. You wouldn't make a wart on George Lynch's ass you little pussy!

  • George you rule thanks for playing on Northern Light Orchestra WOW

  • Man anybody in here that thinks Less of George Lynch Suck he is Rated in the Top 5 of the Best Guitarist in the World!!!!!!!!! It's a Fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He Fucking Rules!!!!!!

  • top 5 BEST guitarist in the world? by who?

  • That's an opinion. I like Lynch, too, but you can't state that "it's a fact", when it's not. He is great, no doubt, but it's subject to personal opinion as to who the top 5 best is. Not in mine, or a lot of people's.

  • Hey Man, I may of Overstated it being a Fact that George Is in the Top 5 Best, Well

    in my Opinion he is,But I know there is Millions of People who would Probably agree,That he's in the Top 5 Best Lead Guitarist,I mean he's an Old Dog that's Been Rated #1 Lead Guitarist in so many Magazines all over the World,and He's Like a God in Japan!! They can't get enough of Him!! Neither can I. But hey man didn't mean to step on your toes.Someone on here pissed me off about Putting down Lynch.Sorry Dude

  • Na, the toes are fine, man! I first saw him open for Priest on Dokken's Tooth and Nail tour. You seem like old school, like me. He has an interview here somewhere where he talks about how his body building interferes with his playing ability, and that he's had to make some sacrifices due to that. That might mean that his larger fingers have taken away some speed. It's not love, has got to be my fav. Damn, showing my age here!

  • That usually pisses me off too!....Geo rocks,and in my book he's been #1 for a long time!Rock on \m/!

  • Amen and you said everything I wanted to!

  • Rated by who? Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Neil Zaza, Joe Satriani, and Reb Beach could blow Lynch away with a couple fingers cut off. Even EVH (when he's not drunk). Put down the crack pipe...

  • Rated by Guiitar Magazine you fuck head you need to read up about what's going on in the Music Buisness all these Guitarist you name are Not doing shit except one and that's Vai he's a great Guitarist,But I have listened to both very well and I would put my money on Lynch anyday over Vai. Vai is just a great Performer with a stage show.Lynch gets out there and Over does it when he plays,He earns his Keep,He's a Fucking Bad Ass Monster Lick Killer. LIVE all the Rest are Fucking Boring!Like you

  • how is this even a warm up, it doesnt get the blood flowing, or the joints in the fingers goin. This guy has to be the biggest effects whore there is.

  • God, Lynch has the worst tone of all guitarists out there.

  • its not his fault the camera is pretty bad quality

  • Not the look of the guitar. I kind of like the guitar look. But his tone, the way he sounds I meant.

  • the camera microphone also has an effect on tone...

  • You have never heard "Back For The Attack", "Under Lock And Key" & "Wicked Sensation" then! ;)

  • I've neve liked his sound. For example I love the way Santana, Hammitt, Clapton and BB King sound. They have good tones. Lynch is a great guitarist and one of the best ever, but his sound is hollow.

  • Funny.. because George Lynch has almost always been playing through a Marshall 1959SLP, just like Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Schenker.

    And i noticed that you like Ratt? Wicked Sensation was recorded on Warren DeMartinis Soldano head, and the early Ratt-records where recorded with the exact same setup as Lynch..

    And who is Hammit?

  • kirk hammett, i think is who he means

    metallica`s lead guitarist

  • No i think slayer has the worse tone. awesome band but very bad tone.

    Their tone quality compaired to Metallica and Megadeth sucks

  • There was a time when he has some of the best Rock guitar tone EVER (he and EVH had tone to die for), but not these days...

  • He's so busy trying to do 50 things at once that he's forgotten about the most important thing about guitar playing; sound, tone ect...

  • lynch was better back in the day

  • well im bored time for porn!

  • yuck that lick sucks come on george quit givin us the stupid licks give us the good ones ya greedy bastard

  • i agree... i would rather watch ice melt then this :D

  • i like em all i might get a - on this coment but i don't care i stand by me feelings an beliefs, i love evh he just happens to be my idol and the reason why i pick up a guitar and started playing.. from nothing to now. check my vids all of them up to this point have been noting but ripped fingers and cal-aced over countless times. thats me i will give respect to these guys tho they are amazing i love dokken and i did a cover of unchained the night. i think batio deserves some credit also.

  • Comment removed

  • he also taught steve vai, and they toured together alot with yngwie alot to. all awesome and amazing guitarist and metal gods

  • I heard George Lynch did one of those BEHIND THE PLAYER dvds anyone know when it is coming out or where I can pick one up?

  • hes the only "hair metal" guitarist i respect

  • i mean i think hes great, but dimartini deserves equal respect

  • o ya i forgot about him my dad always said how he was one of his heroes my bad

  • ahhh i would consider him more of a solo artist I meant commercial hair bands

  • becker bro, uli roth, reb beach

  • i meant commercial hair metal bands p.s. Perpetual Burn was the shit!

  • Lynch destroys

  • pretty crappy warmup,he was sick in dokken but after that i dont know.... haha joe satriani taught him too

  • Check out Lynch Mob's album Wicked Sensation. His playing on that album is phenomenal.

  • too many effects! but he is good

  • What part of "warm up" don't you people understand? It's not a solo, it's not Mr. Scary version 2.0...its a fucking guitar warm up. It's not supposed to be a masterpiece.

    George Lynch fucking rocks! And if you don't like him, then you are a douche.

  • @tncl85 hi tncl85

    a warm up? how can you warm up like that? do you play guitar?

    if i dont like him im a douche? =s whata childish statement man!!

    i think hes not a very good guitar player, and that's not a warm up exercise at all.

  • ur a loser and u deserve to get a shit taken on your face. Why don't you go research who lynch is and never speak again

  • Don't mind all of these ridiculous YT guitar critics GeddyLee211.. Most are just kids hiding behind their computers. Just look at coolcid's 2 vids lol.

  • i like lynch but that was just bad.

  • I think he says "this is WARM UP number 7" so i guess it doesn't have to be musical... all guitar players have some mechanical - non musical exercises specially if they are warm ups.

  • you are a great guitarist but... this is not music..

  • what the hell was that?

    some sloppy easy tapping.

  • and he still doesn't show u how to do it

  • george sucks really

  • next !!

  • im not saying george lynche is a bad guitarist in fact hes fukn awesome but this lick is fukn weak

  • Fuck George Lynch and his expensive Guitar Dojo! Why dosen't he offer the lessons free, and give back to all the fans who supported him over the years ?

    Maybe he should concentrate on getting a better paying gig than doing the Namm show and those fucking cheesy Guitar clinics.

    It that what passes for "touring" these days?

    And another thing..........

    What's up with people begging for guitar Tabs for everything? Can't these people use there ears anymore to figure shit out?

  • so it seems, a lost skill, same as reading standard notation

  • I can't read music :( but at least I don't beg for tabs, I learn by ear.

  • because we don't live in a society where everyone is equal. if you fail in life, that is your fault, not everyone elses.

    learn how to play guitar with your ear and stop being a sheep.

  • anyone know a place online that has the tab for this. he is my favortie guitarist.

  • go to his website and join the dojo..thats his guitar lessons you can learn from.

  • thanks that is a bit too expensive for me. If he does a month to month in the future i probably will

  • yeah, i dont take it cuz of the same reason...jus take em at my local guitar store

  • that is hight aruond here too. I have the doug marks metal method and am just starting stage 5 of 6 and from there will probably try to find some other decent dvd. I have been at it a little less than a year and can play about 12 songs from the 80s and some classical pieces.
