Mr Lynch Im 15 i play the piano My parents made me my girlfriend shes a little older asked me too listen to the music you have made throughout the years Because of her and of course yourself i have almost mastered the guitar thank you you are an inspiration
I'd never heard George Lynch speak before watching this video. He seems comfortable and natural speaking publicly. Very informative. But I still miss him playing guitar with Dokken.
Great insight into George, he really wears his heart on his sleeve in this Q and A. Be sure to watch it all, as he shares one of the best insights answering what I think is the last question. Thanks George, for a lifetime of great guitar music.
George lynch seems like a great guy! very down to earth! I can tell you that he is the reason I began playing guitar! I think he is the best from that period of time and is beyond EVH, Warren demartini, vai, and those guys
I just heard him talk for the first time a few days ago. Now this. He becomes more awesome to me every day. I share almost every value he's discussed. Great musician and great guy!
I think the coolest thing about George is he is a very Down to Earth normal guy. It is too bad about Lynch Mob, because I thought that band was really cool.
George seems like a really cool class act guy. He seems like the type of guy who would jam with you even when he has stuff do. He just seems like he puts people first instead of himself.
What a wonderful, erudite, intelligent and kind human being George is. Could listen to him talk for hours. Been watching him play since '88 with Dokken... he was a guitar god then.. And he still is today in 2021 (check out Phase 2 by The End Machine). Long may he continue to bless us with his music and his talent.
George....... I got to say my brother, I am proud of the path you've taken and respect your humility. Other comments here do bring up some good points about signing on the dotted line, but you have remained an important influence in the industry and have also maintained long term relationships with "like minded" folk. The others? Well, lets just say they knew nothing of protecting their art and maintaining their original personalities and the real reasons they became interested in music. Still loving all your music....... even 25-30 years later!!
Very interesting artist indeed...I didn't know he was such an intellectual teacher. It's a pleasure enjoying his music throughout the years. Thanks George 🤘
He is a really good guy, also real down to earth,I know George through Anthony Esposito,have hung with him and the band and he always makes time for his friends and fans,a bit of a comedian too..
Awesome, such a nice guy, the best thing is it's really nice to see the awesome musicians that I have grown hearing are making a coevack, almost all of them, Old School Rules... 💕💕💕🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
George Lynch, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Tommy Rombola and Sully, Dimebag Darryl, Jerry Cantrel, Steve Stevens, Billy Duffy.....are just a few of the most inspirational guitar players in my life(again, just a few).....with Lynch the most inspiring....who are yours people???
Other than those you mentioned... Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhodes, Chris Oliva, Dave Prichard, Mark Reale, Tony Iommi, Richie Blackmore...the list goes on. I've probably been influenced to some degree by just about every guitarist that's played on every song I've heard. Obviously some more that others, but an influence is an influence.
Oh yeah, stellar follow up Matilda8567.......love all of them. Include Vivian Campbell, Brad Gillis and my southern friends, the Allman Brothers, and Garry Rossington and Allen Collins of "Skynyrd" fame and we have a tri-fecta.
At 14:00 GL described his time away from music and it was so encouraging because life does force me to walk away and when I go back it is more exciting than before
What George said at 16:46 is the same thing that we ask about Dokken. He wants Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton to reunite Cream. But, Don is the one that doesn't want a Dokken Reunion. Bummer. Btw, I love everything Lynch puts out and own all of it. Just a side note. :)
That moment where he turned up and we got the heat the hum from the single coil Every guitar player tuned out the noise and just heard the notes One of the things you get used to John Mayer said it’s like the sound of someone breathing
its amazing how many guitar heros mention billy gibbons as a big influence in their lives. Heck...van halen used to cover La Grange when they were just a club band in california. It was their closer song.
wow. he was totally candid about Clapton and Beck. And dead-on. Clapton just never got any better and just wallowed in simple blues licks. Jeff Beck was always better but he always amazes somehow.
12:17 George mistakes "Pipeline" by the Chantays for "Penetration" by the Stooges. The look of confusion on his face, as he tries to recall the song and how to play it, is just perfect.
He has a great instructional Video-It blew me away-[Then he introduced his guitar instructors-I thought I was going to fall off my chair-fret Guitarist]
I like the one song a month idea George... go with it brother! Stephen King put out "The Green Mile" in monthly installments. I read each one as it came out and couldn't wait for the next.
Ok, now I feel like a douche for all the stupid comments I have made on youtube about how he isn't "Mr Scary" anymore and that he lost his passion. He plays different material than the 80's but that's just him evolving. I knew I shouldn't have move to NE from CA. My brain is shrinking LOL
Yeah, the ones that whine about Capitalism are generally the ones that are still taking huge hits off of that water pipe.........dream on dreamers....stop smoking dope and live in reality instead of chasing it with a beer! Listen to people whom present wisdom with love. I think he's sincere and I love his guitar playing. I just think people can get hurt and get synical. I hope he remains positive as we've lost many in the past to their own destructive outlook.
George is a HUGE inspiration and influence on my learning.
Me too! At 14,15 huge inspiration as well. Met him twice. Very nice and personable...
Such a great guitar player love his hand picking and picking techniques so cool
Lynch is a monster just my dad and Steve vai
Me as well my friend.
no one comes close to his style Man he is the essence of cool and his guitar playing demonstrates that
Sooo articulate, insightful, and knowledgeable. GL is one of the best ever.
Wow, Mr Lynch is quite well spoken....Great guitar player to
i agreed with you!!!
And apparently quite a prolific communist too
Yes sensai
Mr Lynch Im 15 i play the piano My parents made me my girlfriend shes a little older asked me too listen to the music you have made throughout the years Because of her and of course yourself i have almost mastered the guitar thank you you are an inspiration

“The wrong people are the hero’s” sooooo true. How did this become the way. Seen many things on George Lynch online, this was for me one of the best.
George lynch seems like a great guy! very down to earth! I can tell you that he is the reason I began playing guitar! I think he is the best from that period of time and is beyond EVH, Warren demartini, vai, and those guys

When darkness Calls....George is a legend So sad his band didnt work out.....good luck for the future.... one of my all time guitar heroes
Wow, I had no idea that Mr. Lynch had such depth of character - and was also a luthier. Wonderful video
Cool and nice dude. Just never got the big breaks he so well deserves. One of my favorites.
He is my hands down favorite, love the 80's hard rock stuff!!!!!
yeah, and very down to earth.
I think the coolest thing about George is he is a very Down to Earth normal guy. It is too bad about Lynch Mob, because I thought that band was really cool.
Never knew he was that well-spoken. Full of intelligence. My man crush.
It's cool to see a musician who is comfortable in his own skin and so honest and welcoming.
I idolize the 80s guitar masters true musicians at the highest level thank the heavens George is still around that teaches us
George seems like a really cool class act guy. He seems like the type of guy who would jam with you even when he has stuff do. He just seems like he puts people first instead of himself.
Need more people in the biz like George.
Lynch Mob's second album featuring Robert Mason on lead vocals was the BEST ALBUM so far.
What a wonderful, erudite, intelligent and kind human being George is. Could listen to him talk for hours. Been watching him play since '88 with Dokken... he was a guitar god then.. And he still is today in 2021 (check out Phase 2 by The End Machine). Long may he continue to bless us with his music and his talent.

Great job George!
A fan since 1984.
Very interesting artist indeed...I didn't know he was such an intellectual teacher. It's a pleasure enjoying his music throughout the years. Thanks George 🤘
I have to say that after watching this my assessment of mr. Lynch has greatly improved..
He is a really good guy, also real down to earth,I know George through Anthony Esposito,have hung with him and the band and he always makes time for his friends and fans,a bit of a comedian too..
His honesty is as loud as his amps. Appreciate you.
Greatest rock guitar player ever. You know that its George. Has his own sound.
FACTS BROTHER!!
Awesome, such a nice guy, the best thing is it's really nice to see the awesome musicians that I have grown hearing are making a coevack, almost all of them, Old School Rules... 💕💕💕🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Totally enjoyed this! One of the few well spoken rockers, and a smart dude. Great stories. GEORGE needs to write a Bio Book!!
i don't blame george for being alittle bitter about the music buisness, but im glad he's still doing it.......rock on mr lynch
FYI Venture's tune is actually called Pipeline. One of my first songs too, though I'm much younger than George. Great Q&A!
Id like to meet george. Seems like a really down to earth man.

Fantastic session
They asked him what else he had going on and he remembered what amounts to a regular musicians successful career
G.O.A.T. another chaser of tone. Unique player. 🎸🎛️🎙️🎼🎵🎶🤟😷😎🤘
Just amazing.
Love the nods to ZZ Top and Animals As Leaders. GL is an amazingly humble human.
I enjoyed hearing his opinion. Named some real names right at the end.
Well said! George Lynch rocks!
1 of the greatest ever!
George is the greatest
happy thanksgiving mr lynch
That moment where he turned up and we got the heat the hum from the single coil
Every guitar player tuned out the noise and just heard the notes
One of the things you get used to
John Mayer said it’s like the sound of someone breathing
Wow, so many awesome projects of his are gone. Loved Lynch Mob & Souls of We. :/
this dude is still AWESOME!!!
Hell yeh!!!! George at a meshuggah concert! good shit
George is like, " Dude. I might want to play something, duh."
George Lynch, the rock n roll Guitar Hero named Lynch Mob, Sweet and Lynch, KXM, The End Machine and Dirty Shirley
He's six years older than me?!
its amazing how many guitar heros mention billy gibbons as a big influence in their lives. Heck...van halen used to cover La Grange when they were just a club band in california. It was their closer song.
Thanks for posting!
Awesome guitar player
Intriguing interview!!
wow. he was totally candid about Clapton and Beck. And dead-on. Clapton just never got any better and just wallowed in simple blues licks. Jeff Beck was always better but he always amazes somehow.
12:17 George mistakes "Pipeline" by the Chantays for "Penetration" by the Stooges. The look of confusion on his face, as he tries to recall the song and how to play it, is just perfect.
Awesome truths and a climax to boot!!
Very cool and humble guy.
Pure Awesome!!!
very humble guy!
He has a great instructional Video-It blew me away-[Then he introduced his guitar instructors-I thought I was going to fall off my chair-fret Guitarist]

I'm sooooooo pissed that I heard nothing about this. I live 30 minutes away and would have been there in a minute. Huge fan
I like the one song a month idea George... go with it brother! Stephen King put out "The Green Mile" in monthly installments. I read each one as it came out and couldn't wait for the next.
He has the perfect attitude...
Very smart guy, and very talented.
Does anyone know the exact Kramer model the Kamakazi guitar ESP was based on? I want to get the one with that particular headstock.
what a cool guy
Lynch is a monster on guitar just like my dad and petrucci. What's a sugar song?
Thanks George :)
Great guitarist very articulate.....

I wish I had the money to have one made would be a dream come true. There awesome
I love you George
