New George Lynch guitar

it was painful to watch

video audio was also slightly off sync which contributes to the weirdness

the modern day lynch man does not have that fluidity that he had in the past

a little more gain would really help

if you listened to the playing and didnt know who it was,,,, you really would not think too much of it

any kid on you tube sounds pretty similiar.
 
he sounds unpracticed and his technique is super sloppy but he has sounded this way for a decade. so awkward to listen to. like a drunken uncle trying to play stairway on a crappy guitar.

eddie was like this too but turned it around, and had the benefit of being more musically seasoned.

george has alway been a licks centered player without too much harmonic and melodic maturity behind it. when i listen carefully i hear a very erratic internal meter about him. add to that the probable gaggle of yes men friends that will never be honest with him about his playing = recipe for disaster. but i know by speaking with him that he is a nice guy and potentially he could get the magic back with the right practice.

BUT in his heyday during the ULAK tour he was unbelievably fiery and had legendary rock tone and a really impressive mastery of the fretboard from nonstop playing and touring.

i saw him before and after that tour in the lynch mob era and he wasn't ever as good as that dokken tour.
 
I thought the same thing when I watched it. I dont think its a gain thing. What I am hearing is tons of notes with no breathing, no soul.

If he would just slow it a bit to hear/feel those notes, let them have a milisecond of space, then maybe it would sound coherent,

That was imo, a bunch of mumble jumble nonsence... reminds me of my playing :doh:

All seriousness, this guy has a world of knowledge and experience under his fingers, and why this is whats coming out of them, he only knows.

I always thought this clip of him at his studio in desert just jamming to the eagles was extremly inspiring.

 
Guitar might be badass (and I'm still a HUGE Lynch fan), but for that same price I decided on a Charvel DeMartini Snake. One piece quartersawn neck on my Charvel is vastly superior than the neck on the LTD - and I can almost guarantee it's not quartersawn nor its it one piece.

I wonder if the Floyd is a German OFR, or the Korean Floyd Rose 1000 (My 600 series Tiger came with the OFR).

OMG, these two videos are unwatchable! WTF?! Its just endless incoherent banter... wow that was terrible..
 
I liked his playing. It's Lynch, straight up. Maybe my standards are lower, I dunno...
 
Guitar looks cool and is obviously good quality, but I've said it before - Lynch is really going off the boil for me. I LOVED his playing on the LM albums and loads of the Dokken stuff but nowadays I'm sure he's got a bit sloppier maybe?

Can't quite put my finger on it, but his recent tone doesn't help - it's a bit too dry with not enough sustain for what he's going for, to my ears at least!

The video I just posted was him tracking a lead on his album some years back from the desert studio. Note the earphones he's wearing and the video description...

Funny you call it endless incoherent banter when the track was pretty killer. :doh:

I LOVED him on that album/tour, but I disagree about his pinnacle, the first Lynch Mob album has a LOT of great playing on it, and tone to die for. Just my .02...

I agree!!! Saw that tour and he was on fire!!! He kind of lost it after Sacred Groove and even Dysfunctional. IMO.

Oh yeah Steve, think you can come up with a better tone?

:D :D :D :D :D Kidding of course. No damn well you can. :) - Mike (RR)
 
I don't think he has enough delay in this video. Wow.
 
ew ... :thumbsdown:

Is that the best Oni can do for an intro ? :confused:
 
Did Lynch's "decline" coincide with his weightlifting?

Yes, but Petrucci hasn't faltered so IF Lynch uses that as a reason I think he ought to go check out Petrucci.
 
Lynch started smoking cigarettes the same time he picked up the weights, sounds counter-productive.
 
Cool guitar, probably hurts when you lean you lean on the contour though. And, Lynch sounds like he was playing through a Crate with 10" speaker - he would have sounded way better with a real amp. He's great! Very casual and not super precise - I like that.
