Cool Lynch chord based soloing from Wicked Riffs dvd

[MisterBulbous]

Lynch went to GIT after he left Dokken .he studied with Don Mock.
I remember him saying in an interview how embarassing it was .

this guy would stand up and just call out chord changes , and George says he was lost and humbled .

But, I think that's cool. He made mention in a lot of the guitar magazine interviews that he was forcing himself to take lessons and improve his abilities in order to keep up with the new school of Yngwie-type guitar players. That period was such a strange time, because you had these traditional rock studs like Lynch, Dimartini, Jake E Lee, and Bratta and then there was the other crowd like Vinnie Moore, Yngwie, Gilbert, etc. The difference between both styles and abilities was really starting to grow and it was obvious when a guitar player didn't have what it took to be the neoclassical shredder. Lynch was definitely in awe of that genre and trying to develop that style. It just seems that something went south for him and he started getting very chaotic in his approach and nothing seemed connected.

I remember my first lesson with Mock, he had me play over what he called Blues...except it was a freakin Jazz Blues...
G7 C7 G7 Dm7 G7
C7 C#dim G7 Bm7 E7
Am7 D7 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7

Made it through it okay, except the V7 as a VI chord was were I stumbled big time....

Interval spot check with Mock...throws you a Vamp say G7 comp, and then he goes...improvise over it with...
pentatonic from the root...up a fifth, down a third, up a fourth, etc...
We used to do opposite nights at this Gallery here in town, he still does his Tuesday and every once in a while when I need a reality check I go see him.

Doctor is a rather broad term....I mean I can clean cuts and put pokeymon band-aids on and such as good as any "doctor"

Thats why I was referring to the Satriani law suit thread...where I think it was Cloud 9 gave this explanation why th 2 progressions weren't related at all when in reality in terms of function they were identical.
I don't care if you haven't got clue one when it comes to theory, me personally I dig understanding why a certain note in a certain context resonates with what I want to hear. but when you don't get the fucking basics arguing about more advanced points on a forum is beyond laughable.

I gave the explanation based on the information given in the video as to what the progression was, I didn't check it myself.

Glad I could make you laugh, anyway.

Really, that's what you're going with?

4-7-3-I is an incredibly common progression. In jazz you see IV/VII/iii/VI/ii/V/I progression all the time. Literally hundreds of tunes have this progression.

6-7-3-1 is a little less common.

Satriani won't win. Why? Because you can't copyright a chord progression. Yeah, you can talk about substitution all you want, but the harmonic progression is completely different. The IV is a subdominant functioning chord while the VI is a tonic functioning chord which makes the progression sound different.

Coldplay's progression "floats" more because there isn't that classic subdominant/dominant/tonic movement. Their lawyers will argue, and win, that the harmonic "drive" of the tunes are different, which they are.

Except he ass backwardsed it...it's really not VI-VII-III-i it is a freakin IV-V-I-vi, just because it pulls toward the Fm does not make it a minor progression.

And more importantly it doesn't matter one iota if it was the same progression. Can't copy right a freakin progression...correct, but it's the melody he's going after is my guess. And the other progression in reality is ii-V-I-vi...both of them have the first chord as subdominant in function.

+1. I would have said the Coldplay song is in A flat, not F minor.

Dude, you're arguing a point without the facts. Whether you're going by some one else's analysis of the functions or not. SHit that should come screaming at you as...wow, garden variety changes...

Again, sorry for attempting to explain something given information.

Shit doesn't come screaming at me as much, I try to work with what I've got and sometimes the results don't work out. That's why I'm still in school

i'm betting ESP just got a whole bunch of orders for a trans yellow double humbucking floyd rose guitar.
