    If youd play like this in early 80s we wouldnt had George Lynch, but George Balulis.

      Now THAT would have been something! We’d be having a totally different conversation now!

      Thanks, Mike. I appreciate the note.
      There’s always been something about the energy of that solo that’s fascinated me.
      Hope all is well.

      Coincidentally, I just finished reworking this. On Friday morning, the post will go live. I will follow up with a series of lessons to teach this exactly as it was recorded.
      Take care and thanks for watching!

    I know there are a lot of guitar players with more technique more technical knowledge but you just have to love George’s technic style and finesse

    • @rexmasters1541
      @rexmasters1541 Před 8 měsíci +1

      You have never played with George now have you???? This guy can do the moves but he has zero feeling and thats the main difference between experts and pretenders. Playing with feeling comes with an education in music, takes less than 15 seconds to separate the educated experts from the armature players.

    • @scottanderson4175
      @scottanderson4175 Před 8 měsíci

  • @dougsteeleguitar
    @dougsteeleguitar Před 9 lety +18

    I think if you had Lynch delay on that sound that it'd be thee most accurate thing I've seen on youtube. You should slow it down for us dummies.

    Before my early 90's carpal tunnel bout,I could play this close enough a metalhead could recognize it,but the only other person I had seen play it up till now was a Dr. Andy Gurley that teaches at University of Tennessee-Martin,and your's is a much crisper version :). Thanks a bunch,Tommy D.

    When I talked to George at NAMM 2011, I asked about these solos especially the one of Beast from the East. His reply on why he doesn't do them anymore, "Cocaine is a crazy drug".

  • @500erider
    @500erider Před 4 lety

    Won't see George playing like that these days. It's like he works overtime, to ensure that he DOES NOT SHRED. EVER.

  • @allthecolors6900
    @allthecolors6900 Před rokem +1

    Its a great intro. Probably one of the best from George Lynch. I think the riff was written in like 1978 Of all the guitarists to come out of the 1980s, George Lynch is up there in to top 5 with Eddie Van Halen

    • @gbalulis
      @gbalulis  Před rokem

      I listened to the BtC album a few weeks ago for the first time in easily over a decade. The tone, riffs and playing still hold up.

    @mapleaxslinger125 I am willing to bet that the Distortion will sound VERY bright and bighting in maple. As I mentioned, I do not believe it is a sustain killer. I actually have a distortion in an alder guitar. To my ear, it really lacks note clarity and body. Just my opinion though. The Screamin Demon is a great midway point between something like the JB and the Distortion. Thanks for taking the time to write!

  • @gbalulis
    @gbalulis  Před 12 lety +1

    @mapleaxslinger125 Sure it will work. Just know upfront htat the distortion is a very frothy sounding pickup - for my taste it's almost too much. I have a JB in my Craig Rundels Bones guitar, and Screamin' Demons in the Lynch models.I love the organic, round, wide open sound of the JB. The Demon is a bit more crisp and refined.
    If you like the "sucked backward through a jet engine", full-throttle distortion, the distortion's great for that.
