He was on here at this time in his life...made me want to play the guitar. Love the greasiness sliding in and out of mixolydian

 
It was hard for me to watch him play with that bigass ring on lol. I couldn't do it.
 
I watched it and still can't get into him. I don't see or hear the appeal

The gear page is back online. You may want to head over there.
 
That was long after his glory years. His playing really declined. Lynch was it during the "Wicked Sensation" era. What drew me to him was the "In My Dreams" video on MTV. That solo was just pure greatness.

yes this is after his glory days but its still some cool improvising. Much better than a lot of stuff Ive been seeing these days
 
love his uniqueness. Never really wanted to learn much of his stuff (partly because it is kinda hard to play with his style) but love most of his work
 
I've always loved Lynch covers, but could never really get into the guy's music. He's great at playing solos in the context of a song, but I have one of his instrumental albums and haven't dusted off the cover since I got it. His instrumental stuff is like a long guitar solo that doesn't have catchy phrasing or memorable riffs. Take a player like Joe Stump who shreds endlessly, but he puts all kinds of textures in his soloing and knows how to play around a theme. Undoubtedly Lynch has made major contributions to the guitar world, I'll give him that, but he's just never done anything I could latch onto.
 
Not that he is bad in this vid by any means but I would agree that this represents more the beginning of the down side of his playing after he peaked with the 2 Lynchmob releases. At this point he has already caught a nasty case of "Phase-itis".. not to be confused of course with "WAH's desease". You don't come back from WAH's desease so we are lucky George has not caught it yet.
 
Lynch's peak was "Back For The Attack"...the Lynch Mob stuff pales in comparison to that greatness...
 
Have always loved Lynch- totally unique style.
 
Can someone simplify the use of mixolydian is this video? The way I understand modes is if you're playing over an E pedal note then you would play a whatever major scale over that.
I think if you had an E pedal note then you would play a D major scale to get the Dorian mode.
 
An E pedal note? You can play any mode you want over an E note.
It's once you add intervals on top of that E note to create certain chords, then you'd be confined to the respective modes that outline that chord.

Loop and E note, or any note you want, then play different modes of that note, just resolve to it. It's a great way to train the ear to hear different modes.

Can't stress enough the importance of resolving correctly.
Don't think of it as D major. While it is D major, your focusing on, in this case, the E to E within D major, making it E Dorian.

You should also know the patterns so well, that you can be able to start anywhere on the neck within Dmajor/Edorian without much thought and more on the feel of it.

I always think of Mixolydian as a Major scale with a flatted seventh. So it's like the scale version of the dominant seventh chord (i.e. major third but flatted seventh). Probably my favorite mode.

Ok. So that would be an F Major scale over C?

Holy shit. First time I've heard the name Joe Stump outside of class. Props to you for that man, memories just came back.

I took a class at Berklee about 10 years ago and he was the teacher. I can still remember the first day of class. The prof was late by about 20 minutes, we're all just sitting there noodling pretending not to acknowledge what the guy next to us is playing and he walks in. He's wearing a full black leather getup, cowboy boots and all, tons of jewelry, long straightened hair, dark glasses, it was like a Def Leppard music video. He doesn't say anything to anyone, just walks up to the front of class which had a raised "stage," set up his amp/guitar, played a backing track, and proceeded to shred the ever loving shit for about 10 minutes.
