George Lynch Guitar Lessons on Dave Navarro's Spread TV

[zer0dahero]

That tone Dave has in this vid is awesome. Its very organic and strong. Anyway, this give us a clue that we can not trust anything the pros say. Lynch says he doesn't know scales, then he talks about flatten 5th and major 3rd, and mentions the formula for the pentatonic monor scale. Clearly there's some BS coming out lynch one way or another.

[Mrguitars1000]

why are there tones such shit in this vid

[gugge92]

I could listen to that first jam all day!

[ukshrednoodle]

dave is so poor, and has a PRS sig guitar! wow

[AetroyayorteA]

Holdsworth studied Paganini's caprices etc... he knows theory without a doubt.

[AssassinSteven]

I couldn't show you a major scale if you put a gun to my head...Yeah me too" Yeah thats why both of you guys only lasted a a year lol.

[c197373]

Dave's guitar sounds like a Harmony straight from a Fingerhut catalog coming out of a Rocktown practice amp. Tragic...

[RudeCommentsAreFun]

I don't know what it is about Dave Navarro. The dude just f'ing grosses me out. I don't know if it's the nasty-ass tattoos or what, but....wow. Yet I still watch.

[00sven00sven00]

@RudeCommentsAreFun I think its coz hes a hot chick of a guy.

[TheFeralFusion]

George looks like he could have been an 80s pornstar ... navarro looks like a douche

[sgm2005fu]

That seemed delightfully genuine and engaging.

[minibucker]

Lynch is great!!

[rockhonor01]

What is the name of song 0:34

[tidusxaderkanx]

@rockhonor01 Mr.Scary

[Dylan27Rock]

What kind of guitar is dave playing??

[blayeah1234]

@Dylan27Rock a PRS

[Gnarlyskater12345]

@Dylan27Rock His signature paul reed smith

[TheKillerExpert1]

Legendary riff.

[swharr]

They say they don't know theory yet they are referring to flatted major chords and related notes and then playing them up and down the neck. I have news for you guys -- you KNOW THEORY!

people who don't do not know what the hell you are talking about with flatted this is and diminished that.

[nora6853]

He never said he didn't know theory......just said he was told from his teacher that Holdsworth didn't know theory! Gee Wizz!!!!

[Skedaren]

I dont like this,,,,Navarro looks and feels like a girl compared to Lynch...wannabe

[ggiul1256]

Dave is just an average player

[mosesmoses2000]

[tomitook10]

Pay attention to the amps, George's is Marshall , Dave's is a trashed ass.

[flowerdrop1]

Lynch knows all the tricks, still think he'd be better off w/ some theory

[georgebakerguitar]

george lynchs effects are fucking sexy!

[AlochEX]

thery aint that important if you got enough heart and practice you got all you need

[AdamDallas]

Lynch trying to say Allan Holdsworth doesn't know theory... No idea how much this frustrated me! OF COURSE HE DOES! He doesn't read music, but he knows it ALL!

[WAFFELS24]

I love how amazing George is and he cant play a scale.

And Dave, shit bro, its alternating pick styles. NOT COMPLICATED.

[GuitarFretMan]

Damn,Lynch is crazy.One of the most developped guitarists out there,look where he started and look where he is now.He sounds very cool now,I love his spicy licks.

[edipboztepe]

riffs

[gagmangraham]

Get Jeff Beck on this show.

[ferrall420]

Dave is great George is a GOD

[ibanice100]

01:12 George is looking at dave like "ok now it's time to fuck you up"

[indgiu]

awesome interview

[BustersTexas]

YOU CANT REALLY MAKE SMEONE BETTER YOU EITHER HAVE IT OR YOU DONT ITS LIKE RUNNING FAST AN JUMPING HIGH YOUR EITHER GIFTED OR YOUR NOT TRUTH BE TOLD

[thebassistsoldier]

@BustersTexas so my bass lessons are a waste of time even though I'm ten times better now than I was before? Thank you for revealing this to me angry caps lock child!!

[BustersTexas]

@thebassistsoldier it has nothin to do with you im tired of the same old people braggin g about how great of electric Guitar players they are i came on here strictly stating i want george to give me lessons yu however act lik im asking for a million dollers my Friend i never asked you for any Money what so ever

[BustersTexas]

sensai Lynch should not be showing this jabrony his secrets i have nothin to say about George as a Guitar player Mama thats a Bad Bad man right there. an i dont say that about too many Guitar players

[grofovakeva]

well it definately goes to show here that dave is soooo much better than dave, no doubt about it... (trollface)

[Bigpighunter123]

Damn...

[jasonstallworth]

Lynch is indeed amazing!

[skatarest77]

Dave : show me how you get your playing outside the pent box

Lynch : play note for note g pent. box LMAOOOOOO

[TravisBean777]

It's hard for me to imagine Mr. Lynch calling another guitarist "technical" as amazing as his playing is.

[austinfailz]

Love that Dave has a better tone than Lynch. Lol

[respeten]

im spanish, and i try to put the subtitles... But it comes out with the most random shit.

[JustinTexan]

George is the man...he's like the Stevie Ray Vaughan of hard rock. Guys loaded with soul...

[Dimensi0nless]

The best musicians play it dumb... wizard and curtain shit

[HaloF123]

I hope gorge lynches guitar was 18 :|

[RockinRussClinicVids]

I can totally relate to George about "theory". You do what comes Natural.

The "Blues Box" deal he talks about is a fact. Style comes from R&B. ALL of your favorite guitarist all found their "style" in playing by ear & letting it flow. The "Theory" comes later. Playing by ear is The Best way to find what "You" sound like .If You Play By The Book ? You Sound Like A Book. If you "Theorize" everything you do ? You think In A Box. Music

Is Not A Pattern. It's self Expression !

Peace !

[263394]

@RockinRussClinicVids not at all dude. learning from a book teaches you technique. It's up to the artist to put the technique they've learned into artistic expression. If someone can't do that then they're a bad artist.

[RockinRussClinicVids]

@263394

My Friend, We can agree to disagree here, "teaches you technique" from a book ? My friend, a Book Doesn't "Play" the guitar for you ? Ink & Paper Doesn't hold a pick this way or that ? A Book doesn't dictate Your efforts, ability, or natural talents. [?] It only tells you "Structure". Weather it be scales or/ chords. Or/ "Theory" which is good to know for simply "Explaining what you just did". You must be a Guitar Teacher. Thats cool.

But, "YOU" & Your "Hands On Efforts"=technique.THX

[RockinRussClinicVids]

@263394

Also, What's the perception here of a "Bad Artist" ? See ? "Thinking In A Box" makes folks tend to shout "Bad Artist" ! That Lick or/ that Tech wasn't grounds of Musical Expression according to "The Book" & "The Theory". Well ? Lets boot 90% of the guitarist out of the Guitar Hall Of Fame ! What if I don't wanna play that scale just like the book ? But take it in a whole new direction ? Thats Creativity. Play & Let The Chips Fall Where They May ! Let The Bookworms Sort It Out ! ROCK ON~

[gwimlock]

@RockinRussClinicVids You don't need to put everything in quotes, nor make it a proper noun.



[RockinRussClinicVids]

@gwimlock

Lol... Sorry dude. I just approach the guitar learning differently. I am sorry I get so dramatic about guitar. I learned from no one. Never had a guitar lesson in my life & learned by ear. I watch or/ listen & play. I simply understand where Lynch is coming from, thats all. I am dumb as a bag of rocks. Playing for me is a passion & not a chore. Again, sorry if I'm too dramatic. Music is great, you can approach it from many angles, but it's whatever floats your boat.

PEACE !

[skatarest77]

@RockinRussClinicVids haha great comments dude. but...u wont ever be able to take it in a new direction if you keep fucking with that one position of the pentatonic scale. ive been shredding for about 3 yrs now, playing 12yrs total...and these two really suck some guitar dick looking at them now. cmon navarro...that one extra note thrown into g pent is all over the place? haha..still fun vid.

[bloobityblopbloop]

what tuning is this in?

[UFCfanboy7898]

that Skull n Bones is the shitty ESP one, not the real J. Frog that lynch played soo long ago

[ImEvilBaby666]

Why is Navarro such a douchebag?

[praga5576]

LYnch's use of the whammy is totally killer...

[daltonleablack]

I want Lynch's Guitar now!!!!

[thephan1113]

wow this shit sucks

[IIHamishII]

Holdsworth created his own theory. He has never studied modern theory.

[fugfar]

yer a tapper and a sweeper, fu dave. whats yer point?

[MADE2OWND]

at 1:15 Dave is probably like "oh shit"

[ROONTANG]

Fucking stupidest looking guitar I've ever seen.

[MetalMikeCass]

Holdsworth knows theory. George Lynch is full of shit...

[216KDub]

7:20 Excellent use of the G Lydian b7 scale... I believe.

[sciulli27]

both these guys are fucking retarded

[tmm10811]

@80sAcademy Lo fucking L!

[vuckosmor]

Ofc Holdsworth knows music theory

[Macsk8ing]

Is Dave's guitar plugged to an ass?

[263394]

@Macsk8ing LMFAO!!!



[led96zeppelin]

@Macsk8ing yeah, pretty much

[Deathrash241]

@Macsk8ing he had a worse tone when playing with Mustaine.

[ChrizRockster]

All the power is in the pinky!

[80sAcademy]

Comments about Holdsworth are completely full of crap. Do a quick search for 'Allan Holdsworth - Chord Scales' and listen to Allan talk about his approach to scales and chordal playing. These guys are no where near what Holdsworth has been doing for the last 25 years.

[slportz]

@80sAcademy really you need to do some more researching !!!!

[Just4LaughsClan]

Thumbs up if you thought the video was about lynching niggers.

[mystique1721]

Dave Navarro looks like Kat Corvette's male twin.

[funk49rob]

Lynch has been my #1 influence for 25 years (and supposedly he's the nicest guy in the world in person) but I have to call bullshit on the Holdsworth not knowing theory remark. There is NO WAY IN HELL Holdsworth doesn't know theory. Anyone who has ever heard knows better.

That has to the funniest BS I've ever heard.

[Ben123456789Clarke]

@funk49rob I think he was just pissing around with dave, nothing serious lol, he is an excellent guitar player two though, ive only recently heard of him, and he sounds very good

[ddepjr95]

10:56 camera guy: .....ummmmmmmmmmmmmm (S***!) nooooooooo O_O

[ChathamFr0]

The tune in the beginning was sweet.

[braddyboy82]

Damn that George Lynch, I thought all his videos would be taken down because he has made a career out of stealing my riffs and tricks!!

[44SuperShredder]

@braddyboy82

Keep telling yourself that

[revolver7725]

awesome guitar player + total douchebag = george lynch

[IIGAMEZIIFREAKII]

I want the tabs for the first part!

[abad3way]

Mr. scary..George Lynch

[augustop360]

Can someone tell me what kind of distortion he's using

[2gasgo]

on 1 hand

[2gasgo]

Lynch is incredible

Lynch has 7 fingers.....

[slashy04]

@2gasgo I actually heard he has 10

[2gasgo]

Lynch is incredible

[monkymonk6]

Dave's guitar sounds really lifeless on this video. George, on the other hand, has some major mojo happening on his tone!

[daniel2B]

I can't hear lynch playing when Navarro plays... :(

Stop playing muthafucka!

[arcanumi]

''with the flatted fifth...'' Lol, Dave doesnt know what that means, he's like oh yeah, yeah cool (???) XD

[LordArithon]

Dave is so full of shit only mentioning the main stream guys. There are so many European metal guys that are doing tapping on George's level it's unreal. Daniel Gildenlow, Olaf Thorsen, Andrea Cantarelli, and so many others. Still without a doubt he is right about one thing. George was kinda doing that before a lot of others...but astoundingly enough so was the guy from Winger...so yeah...Dave sucks...but I do like seeing some of these guys he has on his shows.

[1288dallas]

comparing malmsteen to lynch is like comparing a pile of shit to primerib. take a bite

[c0deMunkey]

@1288dallas Yeah, and lynch is the pile of shit...

[1288dallas]

@c0deMunkey thats all you got princess. i knew one of you malmsteen lovers would fire back with nothing but a PILE OF SHIT.

[slitherlock]

you know what man.....don't tell me how I do my shit dave! here (2:07) let me show you how worthless you are........lol - dave got lynch'd.

[Krition09]

yeah their is no way u can play guitar without knowing practical theory...he knows a major scale....

[TheStratKid]

They're incredibly talented, but the solos don't even sound good. Metal is shit.

[TheDesertChicken]

- I can't show you a major scale if my life depended on it.

- Yeah! Me too.

- lol jk

[fernaozaozao]

Who is the guy he is talking about at 10:12, I can't understand his name...

[funofsk8ing]

@fernaozaozao they say Yngwie Malmsteen. search him, great guitarrist

[GuitarShred07]

@fernaozaozao yngwie malmsteen

[XxHoosierXHoosierxX]

Jesus . Lynch's guitar looks so fuckin ugly. I cant stand guitars with death signs and skulls/bones. SO fuckin corny lookin.

They look like fuckin toys.....

[PhillipMacGregor1]

Dave should try jamming with Steve Vai. THAT would teach him not to fuck with music.

[ironmaidenowns]

2:49 LOL. watch before that and see how dave says "me neither". i believe when he says he doesnt know the major scale.

[gabomurinhor]

this is sick

[ShreddinThrash]

george talks balls. Alan holdsworth? lol im pretty sure he has lessons about theory on youtube. Im pretty sure that george knows a major scale too.

[hadron89]

Horrible sound.

[metachozoite]

i think my lynch likes joe satriani...his solo reminds me of joe ALOT!

[MCzozime]

that tone is awesome

[skybooboy]

I think George is playing down his skills and what he knows and is fully aware of the major and every other scale out there.

[carbonseven1st]

damn, i became too demanding. I dont learn shit from that kind of videos

[TheCrimsonIdol987]

George Lynch is the shit. And I rather love his throaty tone in this video. :)

[Kozmonot91]

I got to help George setup and warm up before a show.....he is truly a great and extremely unique player and a nice guy. Not sure if any of you know but he is also building his own guitars that are really freakin cool.

[jasonlammons]

DAAAAMN HE WAS BANGING CARMEN ELECTRA!!

[jungleman4545]

Dave looks like a prince

[AlexWolfking]

i liked navarros tone a lot!!! somebody knows what he was useing back there ??? thnx

[GuitarFretMan]

Lynch totally DESTROYS Navarro.I'm not saying that Navarro's bad.It's just that Lynch is a fucking beast on guitar.

[hunterlpdc94]

Funny thing is..... they're right. It's not that you know the theory, it's what you do with it. You can make music without theory, the theory just makes it better and a little more creative and organized.

[osdon]

Ok, im getting negative responses to my original comment seen above so lets put this to rest, for all of you who think you can be a world renowned guitarist for 30 years and not accidentally learn a major scale, watch Lynch @ 42 sec. in the "George Lynch Lesson part 2" vid. He seems to know EXACTLY what a major scale is. If you still do not see that he is full of shit and trying to appeal to all the 15 year old metal heads who think its somehow fashionable to not know scales YOU'RE AN IDIOT.

[enahcs]

Lynch is a total beast.

[macoroni]

I totally had deja-vu when Dave brought up watching paul gilbert on youtube and being floored

[tmarks313]

ive said it before, and ill say it again, GEORGE LYNCH IS TOTALLY UNDERRATED!!!!!! thumbs up if you agree

[chococoplex]

How would George not know a major scale but still know how to improv in the key of G (major, obviously)?

[Kozmonot91]

So George does not know a major scale but knows where a flatted 5th and a major 3rd are? hmmmm.

[jasonlammons]

@Kozmonot91 That shit is like havign 4 balls and 3 extra fingers

[triviumfiend138]

@Kozmonot91 he doesnt say "I dont know the major scale" he says "I couldn't show you the major scale"

[DamienGunn]

Rename this video; Dave only wants to play. Gees, let George play; that's why we are watching this! Grow up Dave, let the master play.

[moldyrck]

thumbs up if george sounds better

[RICE510]

George = one of the coolest shredders out there.

[bigbold409]

george kinda looks like sten tyler dont ya think??

[McJeyd]

I think Lynch killed him at 1:17

[Noyz1ntheAttic]

I've played now for 30+ years and he's great for what he does and you don't need theory to be great if you find the patterns like he does you can get great without theory . . . just love the sounds you make

KEEP ON ROCKIN ' YEAH !

[YeungyBassMasta]

cant play a major scale

then start talking about the major 3rd... hmmm someones lying..

[blackrose436]

hey who is dave navarro is he a guitarist?

[sixstringfretter]

@blackrose436 Are you being sarcastic or have you truthfully never heard of him?

[DemoticVEVO]

It's funny, I watched this video 2 years ago, before I started to play guitar.

Inbetween the playing, while they were talking, it was basically "Blah blah blah? Yes! Blah blah blah." But now that I've actually learned to play guitar it all makes sense.

[1mp0r7g4m3r]

Goodness, the tone on Lynch's guitar is unbelievable.

[FreakyStyley95]

@1mp0r7g4m3r i believe it's a phaser pedal, makes for some great sounds

[avellinesevolante]

@1mp0r7g4m3r

i dont know what preset he uses on this signature pedal (got the same)

[IIHamishII]

@avellinesevolante It was definitely A1 or A2. Remember he backed off his volume at about 0:30 seconds.

[TroubleClef2112]

@1mp0r7g4m3r Go ESP!

[Fireblaze15]

2:19 makes me go fuckin a man... Freakin master right there.

[VinnWi]

he has no tattoos or painted fingernails but he kick ass.

[rocafella142]

Omg i watching Navarro live right now on Youtube. This guy is horrible! He can't even play proper solos. All he does is hit a note and holds it the entire mesasure while raping the hell out his effects pedals and whammy bar.

[ftwfckyea]

dave Navarro sux major ass. fckn Lynch is a beast

[NickGuitarMalfara13]

thumbs up if Lynch should be on that metal show!

[Joefest99]

What's the deal with everyone rippin' on Dave?!

[Macsk8ing]

@Jason3214r Hahaha yeah, but Dave isn't that bad either!

[zajac1661]

Dave Navarro's jamming is pretty bad. He did not even manage to play some simple pentatonic licks. Lynch is very creative, but i dont like his tone on this video :(

[Macsk8ing]

Apparently, Dave's guitar is plugged to an ass.

[djmm1397]

what is navarro playing through? a bag of shit? he was better when he did drugs.

[rockster07]

Mr Scary sounds so much better this way than on the recording where it's drowned in reverb... I wish there was a recording that sounded more like this.

[MichaelD8393]

why censor Lynch?

[lappiolu]

wtf the sound of lynch guitar is orrible....

[MichaelD8393]

@lappiolu and Navarro's is good. just check out the segment with Dave Mustaine for the exact opposite.

[zajac1661]

@MichaelD8393 well. he failed majorly on some of the most basic lick phrases here.

[MichaelD8393]

@zajac1661 ah that must explain it.

[zajac1661]

@MichaelD8393 Well. The sound told it all. 

[oneman1970]

hats off to george ...it takes a real man, considering most would consider them peers, to mention malmsteen as one of his influences. i have even more respect for him now.

[Tamplier93]

Amazing riffs !!!!

[jgoldston96]

Lynch looks like he's jizzin
