The Three Ages of Lynch - Pt1

Guitar virtuoso George Lynch has been gracing the guitar scene for over 30 years. Since his early days on the LA club circuit with his band Exciter to the latest incarnation of his band, simply named "Lynch", he has consistently been out there playing, performing and releasing records. Currently with a new line of signature series Randall USA amps, a signature Eminence Speaker, signature strings and a very long standing relationship with ESP guitars, Lynch is seldom far from the pages of guitar magazines.

Indeed, much of this exposure and longevity has been due to his musical style changing with the shifts in musical trends from the ‘80s to the ‘90s and into the new millennium, and although the ‘80s rock playing style is deep rooted in his blood each new CD release sees George push the envelope a little further, keeping the music fresh. Lynch’s wide catalogue includes the hairspray saturated Dokken records such as “Under Lock and Key” and “Back For The Attack”, the incendiary “Wicked Sensation” with his post Dokken band Lynch Mob, the Rap Rock extravaganza which was “Smoke This”, the Bowie’esque “Stonehouse” with singer Matt Kramer, and the collaboration with ex-Dokken band mate and bassist Jeff Pilson on the more recent Lynch/Pilson album “Wicked Underground”. And lets not forget the unforgettable Skull’n’Bones guitar.
