Couldn’t find the full video on YouTube, Lynch’s improv during a studio jam session. Enjoy!

  • It blows my mind that this extremely high level of instrumental virtuosity and pure improvisation was once so revered that it was aired uncut by a major media outlet. My… how things have changed.
  • Never gets mentioned in the "greats" conversations... yet he is. Purely unique and one of a kind.
  • That's insane even by today's standards. George has his own style that's for sure.
  • @shanealan2995
    Perfect example of someone who can play literally anything they want by simply allowing their "feelings" to take the wheel. No barriers
  • @OIP_1
    the combo of ferocity and smoothness is insane
  • @maxmenius9839
    My gosh, this just builds and builds getting better and better. At the 2:40 mark just gets magical. So many levels. There is no one like George Lynch!
  • @quit293
    Glad someone put this back up
  • @hbc431
    His playing is so weird exotic and spicy compared to the other guitar gods hes in his own lane for sure
  • @DeathByFishing
    You could take any 20-30 second bit from this, and it would be a complete solo in any song. Freaking fantastic work at an epic level.
  • @EliasRedbass
    Sometimes I wish there is a "LOVE"-button here and not just a thumbs up. GL deserve more than nowadays. Amazing chops and improvisation here!
  • @rick3747
    George was 57 here(my current age). Now, George and Page are our elder statesmen guitar gods who must be protected at all costs.
  • Wow. I’ve always loved George’s playing but this is next level right here. Blown away.
  • @MrDantres
    This guy is awesome, one of my all time favorites!
  • @jeffallen3382
    There will never be another guitar player like George Lynch. The growl he get is out of this world. His control of the fretboard is phenomenal!
  • @ninjapower1000
    Get a 100 guitar players to shred over this and I'll still pick Mr Scary out. Unique and still blows me away, he pulls notes that you could never guess before hand. Legend!
  • @joezech1686
    One of the best pieces of music ever created here.
