the gothic octave is a scale he created right/ thats cool haha i would like to learnn more about his style of playing as he is one of my favorite players and by the way ho can you aply modes to that kind of scale?
incredible technique,, see how he only lifts his fingers off the strings a tiny amount so they have less distance to go to fret the next note, which means you can play faster without having to have really quick fingers.
p.s. for those wondering about George's fingers, a.) yeah, ok, he does have Vai hands, but also b.) he works HARD at maximizing his stretching power. In his 'guitar bible' video he shows/tells you to play the pentatonic shapes with only your second and third finger .. riiiight, George. He's a pimp nonetheless. For this shape, since 5 to 9 is a fourth, you can easily just take the 9 up to the next string instead.
agreed but lynch is unique and very original the rumors even say that lynch used tapping before EVH but yea paul is on an entirely different level of playing i mean he can do everything and of course he used the drill before eddie too
Either sensei George is having a bad hang-over day, or he's strung out like Vince Neil here. He's usually so much more easy going and chillin'. Here he's just terse, maaaan!
did joe satriani teach george because he sounds like joe satrianis style sometimes also theres a like called alone again by dokken georges old band which it sounds like michael jacksons song give into me
If it were all about technical ability, then Michael Angelo would leave everyone in the dust..but its not. Music is an emotive thing that cannot be gauged by notes per second, or who played what technically better.George has a unique sound and style, and thats why he is way better than technically superior players. Its another reason why I love Gilmour, these guy play the million $ notes- at the right time in the right place - that kind of talent you cant learn out of a dvd or book or classroom
just know that there are PLENTY of "best player ever", as Petrucci my favourite one, i can't say he's the best because he isnt. ONLY for ME he is the greatest (but creates the best melodies and is the most precise guitarist of the world, these are facts) as Steve vai, he is also ONE of the best because of his extraordinary talent and unbelivable emotion he gets with his guitar MAB the fastest player EVER (and this is non negociable, this isnt an opinion, this is just a fact ...)
and come on, they say that lynch is bad BECAUSE he took lessons from satch, but he DIDNT! dumb, 2nd, people also judge him for his extreme delay, has it ever occurred to you that he may like that sound?
okay lets put it this way....EVH, or lynch were neither the first to tap, no way in hell were they, paul is good but he's not the best i dont see why so many people say he's god, he's got his own style and yeah he's good but he plays the same shit all the time, if you want to see a tremendous guitar player have a look at guthrie govan or alex hutchings
hes not over rated. if anything hes under rated. i mean, its not like hes that well known, and his playing is awesome. jus watch this video as proof, if that aint enough chek out "George Lynch - Warming up backstage (ESP Clinic, Tokyo 1988)"... and... pedophile?? =s give him a break
he's certainly mr charisma isn't he? not my fav guitarist by a long shot, impressive stretch but an unimaginative guitarist with a consistently horrible tone
