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.
  • That's insane even by today's standards. George has his own style that's for sure.
  • @quit293
    Glad someone put this back up
  • @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
  • Never gets mentioned in the "greats" conversations... yet he is. Purely unique and one of a kind.
  • @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.
  • @chignutsak
    What an era these guys came out of! Ed…Jake…Randy
  • @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.
  • @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!
  • @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!
  • @MrDantres
    This guy is awesome, one of my all time favorites!
  • @wheelz23
    I could listen to George just jam all day.
  • total stream of conciousness. he has mastered that. something most guitarists have not.
