Lynch is known for his legato technique and common use of the scale he calls the 'Gothic Octave'. Guitarist Mark Kendall claims George started two hand tapping before Eddie Van Halen did.[1] Twice Lynch auditioned for the position of Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist, once in 1979 -- losing to Randy Rhoads -- and another time in 1982 to replace Brad Gillis. According to Lynch, he was hired for three days before Ozzy changed his mind and decided to go with Jake E. Lee. Lee, however claims that Lynch "got the gig, but only went on the road for two weeks to watch the show, and never actually played with Ozzy." Lynch looks back on the situation positively though, he has said "I won the consolation prize, Randy got to tour with Ozzy...and I got to teach at his mom's school."
Lynch came to fame in the 1980s through his work as the lead guitarist in the band Dokken (of which he had been a member since 1980). Dokken had a string of successful platinum albums such as "Under Lock And Key" and "Back For The Attack", that prominently featured Lynch's inventive lead guitar work and cemented his reputation as a bonafide guitar hero. The instrumental track "Mr. Scary" on Back For The Attack contributed to his popularity among guitar players. The band earned a grammy nomination for the "best rock instrumental" in 1989.
In spite of the band's popularity, the group parted ways in March of 1989 due to internal tensions with lead vocalist Don Dokken. Lynch formed his own hard rock band Lynch Mob which differed from Dokken in lyrical complexity, subject matter, song structure, guitar complexity and tuning, and a notably different approach to vocal harmony than Dokken's soaring harmonies. Lynch then took time off and his wife had a baby girl named Mariah in 1990. After spending a few years with his family he got back to work. In 1993, Lynch released his first solo album, Sacred Groove.
By 1994, after Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson and Mick Brown reunited, they decided to try and bring Lynch back into the fold as well for a true reunion of Dokken. Lynch agreed to put all differences aside to give it a go once more. After releasing a few albums on an independent label, the band was signed to a mainstream company. Dokken released two albums and a video during this period but Lynch still found time appear at guitar clinics for ESP guitars and attend the annual NAMM Show. By 1997, tensions had again flared between Don and Lynch that the band agreed to "take a break" from one another and do their own side projects then return to the studio together. The following year, after Lynch released an EP, Dokken returned to the studio, but Lynch was not present. After failed communications, Lynch was fired from Dokken, giving him the freedom to continue to pursue other projects. Lynch was replaced by Reb Beach and Dokken continued.
Influenced by the modern bands, the Lynch Mob's radical new look and interesting new musical approach attracted a younger audience. In 1999 they released the album "Smoke This". After touring in support of "Smoke This" Lynch decided to put Lynch Mob on hold for a few years. Then in late 2002 George Lynch decided to reform Lynch Mob with original bassist Anthony Esposito and singer Robert Mason. Lynch Mob then recorded an album of re-recorded classic lynch songs from Dokken and Lynch Mob albums, updated to a more contemporary (post-2000) approach and sound.
He also formed a project with former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson called 'Lynch/Pilson'- Wicked Underground. In 2003 Lynch formed 'The George Lynch Group' in which he has continued to record and regularly tour. The George Lynch Group performed a marathon, 26 shows in 30 days, including a much talked about feature on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The line-up is: George Lynch - Guitars, Andrew Freeman - Vocals, Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio) - Drums, Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden/Starwood/Legacy) - Bass. The 2005's "Furious George" album is a cover album, including classic rock tunes from ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, AC/DC or Led Zeppelin. A new all-instrumental album is currently in progress.
George currently lives near Los Angeles, and aside from embracing body building, created an instructional guitar website named the Guitar Dojo.

Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (pronounced /ˈɪŋveɪ ˈmɑːlmstiːn/ in English) (born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck on June 30, 1963 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish guitarist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader. Malmsteen became notable in the mid-1980s for his technical fluency and neo-classical metal compositions. Four of his albums from 1984 to 1988, Rising Force, Marching Out, Trilogy, and Odyssey, ranked in the top 100 for sales.
Malmsteen was born on June 30, 1963, as the first child of a musically talented family in Stockholm, Sweden. At age seven, he saw a television news report on the death of Jimi Hendrix. To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Malmsteen was born". At the age of 10 he took his mother's maiden name Malmsten as his surname, slightly changed it to Malmsteen, and Anglicised his given name Yngve to "Yngwie". Malmsteen was a teenager when he first encountered the music of the 19th century violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical music influence.
Through his emulation of Paganini concerto pieces on guitar, Malmsteen developed a prodigious technical fluency. Malmsteen's guitar style include a wide, violin-like vibrato inspired by classical violinists, and use of such minor scales as the Harmonic minor, and minor modes such as Phrygian, and Aeolian. Malmsteen also cites Brian May of Queen, Steve Hackett of Genesis, Uli Jon Roth, and Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple as influences.
[edit] 1980s In late 1982 Malmsteen was brought to the U.S. by Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records, who had heard a demo tape of Malmsteen's playing. He had brief engagements with Steeler, for their self-titled album of 1983, then Alcatrazz, for their 1983 debut No Parole From Rock N' Roll, and the 1984 live album Live Sentence. Malmsteen released his first solo album Rising Force in 1984, which featured Barrie Barlow of Jethro Tull on drums. His album was really meant to be an instrumental side-project of Alcatrazz, but it contained vocals, and Malmsteen left Alcatrazz soon after the release of Rising Force.
Rising Force won the Guitar Player Magazine's award for Best Rock Album and was also nominated for a Grammy for 'Best Rock Instrumental', achieving #60 on the Billboard album chart. Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force (as his band was thereafter known) next released Marching Out (1985). Jeff Scott Soto filled vocal duties on these initial albums. His third album, Trilogy, featuring the vocals of Mark Boals, was released in 1986. In 1987, another singer, former Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner joined his band. That year, Malmsteen was in a serious car accident, smashing his Jaguar XKE into a tree and putting him in a coma for a week. Nerve damage to his right hand was reported. During his time in the hospital, Malmsteen's mother died from cancer. In the summer of 1988 he released his fourth album, Odyssey. Odyssey would be his biggest hit album, mainly because of its first single "Heaven Tonight". Shows in Russia during the Odyssey tour were recorded, and released in 1989 as his fifth album Trial By Fire: Live in Leningrad. The concert in Leningrad was the largest ever by a western artist in the Soviet Union.[citation needed]
Malmsteen's "Neo-classical" style of metal became moderately popular during the mid 1980s, with contemporaries such as Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, Tony MacAlpine and Vinnie Moore becoming prominent. MacAlpine came to the neoclassical/shred field by applying his classical piano training to his guitar playing and Moore arrived at a similar style because he shared Malmsteen's major influences. In late 1988, Malmsteen's signature Fender Stratocaster guitar was released, making him and Eric Clapton the first artists to be honored by Fender.

Lynch was born in Spokane, Washington and raised in the small town of Auburn, California. Lynch is known for his legato technique and common use of the scale he calls the 'Gothic Octave'. Guitarist Mark Kendall claims George started two hand tapping before Eddie Van Halen did.[1] Twice Lynch auditioned for the position of Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist, once in 1979 -- losing to Randy Rhoads -- and another time in 1982 to replace Brad Gillis.

this is a five part lesson of paul gilbert
check out crambone at http://www.myspace.com/crambone1984 Paul Brandon Gilbert (born November 6, 1966 in Illinois) is an American guitarist best known for his work with Racer X, Mr. Big, and his more recent instrumental albums. Following his departure from Mr. Big in 1997, Gilbert began releasing solo albums. He also joined Joe Satriani and John Petrucci on the 2007 G3 tour.
He is also notable for his alternate picking, and string skipping technique, and was named #4 on GuitarOne's "Top Shredders of All Time".[1]
Born in Carbondale, Illinois, into a middle class family, Paul started playing guitar at the age of 6, but soon gave up, becoming frustrated with just learning simple nursery rhymes. Around age 9, he took up the guitar again, but with a skewed memory of the technique. Paul revealed at an Ibanez sponsored guitar clinic August 12, 2005 in Concord, CA at Spitzer's Music, that he "played only with upstrokes, used only the low 'E' string and only used [his] middle finger on the fretboard." Frustrated after trying to play the intro to "Barracuda" by Heart, he took lessons and his teacher explained the error of his ways. His technique corrected, Gilbert continued practicing and by the age of 14 he developed a local band in Greensburg, PA named Missing Lynx. They played together for approximately two years and wrote their own material. After Missing Lynx he then went on to join another local band called Tau Zero, but left shortly after, and headed for California. He was spotlighted in Guitar Player Magazine alongside fellow up-and-comer Yngwie Malmsteen.

check out crambone at http://myspace.com/crambone1984Jason Becker, (born July 22, 1969) is an American neo-classical metal guitarist and composer. At the age of 16, he became part of the Mike Varney-produced duo Cacophony with his friend Marty Friedman. They released Speed Metal Symphony in 1987 and Go Off! in 1988.Jason Becker studied the works of violinist Niccolò Paganini and was a playing partner with Marty Friedman. He later composed a rendition of Paganini's 5th Caprice, performing it during an instructional guitar video. Becker's compositions often include high speed scalar and arpeggio passages, both of which are trademarks of his 'shred' style of guitar playing. The song "Serrana", appearing in the album Perspective, is an example of his sweep-picking skills. He demonstrated the arpeggio sequence during a clinic at the Atlanta Institute of Music. A video of this performance first appeared on his Hot Licks guitar instructional video and can now be viewed on YouTube.[1].Becker started out playing alongside Marty Friedman in the Mike Varney produced duo, Cacophony. Becker and Friedman toured together with Cacophony in Japan and across the United States. In 1989 Becker left to pursue a solo career, releasing his first solo album titled 'Perpetual Burn' in 1988, and has since released 'Perspective', as well as two albums of demos, entitled 'The Raspberry Jams' and 'The Blackberry Jams'.

Jakey Lou Williams (born February 15, 1957 in Norfolk, Virginia, USA), known as Jake E. Lee is a guitarist best known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne and the band Badlands. Lee took classical piano lessons as a child, and would also play around with his older sister's guitar. After discovering Jimi Hendrix, he knew he wanted to be a rock guitarist. He played in various high school bands and would eventually bring his skills to the San Diego music scene in the late 1970s.
[edit] Musical career In San Diego he joined a band called Mickey Ratt in 1980, which later became the popular glam metal band Ratt. They released a single "Dr. Rock"/"Drivin On E", which they gave to fans at their shows. Ratt also released the song "Tell The World" on the first metal massacre album which also featured Metallica's first song "Hit The Lights".
Lee soon left Ratt to join Rough Cutt which was produced by Ronnie James Dio and managed by Wendy Dio at that time. After hearing Lee in Rough Cutt in 1982, Ronnie James Dio invited Lee to join his band and Lee accepted. The other member was former Black Sabbath drummer and former bandmate of Dio, Vinny Appice. According to Appice there were rehearsals with Lee and Dio. Appice also has said recordings of those rehearsals exist. Lee also claims to have written the riff to "Don't Talk To Strangers" and that Dio wanted him to play "simple block chords that wouldn't trample on his vocals".
When Ozzy Osbourne needed a permanent replacement for the deceased Randy Rhoads, he came to Los Angeles to audition players. Future Slaughter bassist Dana Strum recommended Lee to Osbourne. Strum had also recommended Rhoads to Osbourne. Osbourne's choice eventually came down to two guitarists, Dokken guitarist George Lynch and Lee. Osbourne almost chose Lynch but instead chose Lee. Lee played with Osbourne in late 1982 and early 1983 still supporting the Diary of a Madman tour. Osbourne's line-up was Lee on guitar, Don Airey on keyboards, Tommy Aldridge on drums and Pete Way on bass.
Osbourne and Lee then began the follow-up to Diary of a Madman. Osbourne and Jake kept touring though while working on Bark at the Moon, their next album. They released the hit single "So Tired", which got airplay regularly on MTV and radio. Other singles included "Bark At The Moon", and "Spiders" (which didn't make the original release of the album but has subsequently been included on some reissues). When released, the album was a commercial success.
Ozzy Osbourne began a world tour and fired Tommy Aldridge, replacing him with Carmine Appice. Osbourne, Carmine Appice, Lee, Bob Daisley and Don Airey toured Europe in late 1983 supporting Bark At The Moon. On the U.S. tour their concert in Salt Lake City on March 18, 1984, was filmed and released as a video titled Bark At The Moon. After the tour Osbourne checked-in to the Betty Ford Center for alcohol rehabilitation and the band was put on hold.
After Osbourne left the Betty Ford Center, Lee presented him with the music he wrote while Osbourne was away. Most of it was kept for their upcoming 1986 album, The Ultimate Sin. Once released, the album peaked at #1 on the charts with the hit single "Shot In the Dark". Lee and Osbourne once again began a world tour this time with Phil Soussan on bass and Randy Castillo on drums. In Kansas City, Missouri on April 1, 1986 another concert was filmed which was released in 1990 as The Ultimate Ozzy by Fox and CBS. In 1987 Lee left Osbourne's band, with Osbourne concentrating on the release of the Randy Rhoads Randy Rhoads Tribute album.
Lee formed the blues-based metal band Badlands in the summer of 1988. Badlands consisted of Lee, former Black Sabbath singer Ray Gillen, former Black Sabbath drummer Eric Singer (Eric Singer also drummed for Kiss and Alice Cooper) and bassist Greg Chaisson. Badlands released their self-titled debut album in 1989. In 1991 Singer left the Badlands to join KISS after the death of Eric Carr and replaced with drummer Jeff Martin (who was also the vocalist for Surgical Steel and Racer X). Badlands then released Voodoo Highway, a more blues-oriented album. On the tour, Gillen was fired and replaced by John West. Gillen later died in 1993 at 34 years old from AIDS-related complications. In 1998, Badlands released the album Dusk, which included previously unreleased material with Gillen.
In 1996, Jake released an instrumental solo album titled A Fine Pink Mist. The album had good reviews and was compared to Joe Satriani's Surfing With the Alien.
