  • Hi fellows,

    And welcome to another solo lesson, this time covering some of George Lynch's style.

    George Lynch is best known for his work with the band Dokken, and his unusual style of playing solos. He recorded several solo albums under the name of Lynch Mob and under his own name as well. In his style he often uses tapping, legato, alternate picking, and he has a very sophisticated style that involves the whammy bar or the tremolo.

    This little solo concentrates mainly on the tremolo, phrases and some exotic sounding scales. I've also added the Lynch trademark vibrato, which he borrowed from bass players. It also involves some wider stretches. To play these, you'll need to relax your left or fretting hand.

    This lesson includes:

    Phrases
    Vibrato
    Legato
    Alternate picking
    Sweeping
    Wide stretches

    The tuning is in D ( D, G, C, F, A, D )

    Have fun practicing

    -Zsolt
