George Lynch visited Sweetwater on March 6, 2013 for a special workshop and performance in the Sweetwater Performance Theatre. Sweetwater had just become a dealer for ESP guitars, and George played each of his ESP signature models and discussed his 27-year relationship with ESP.
Not only did George graciously answer several questions from the audience, he treated us to several tracks from his own catalog, and even closed out the event by jamming with a band comprised of instructors from the Sweetwater Academy of Music and staff from the Sweetwater Retail Store.
Enjoy the video, then check out George Lynch's signature ESP guitars right here: bit.ly/SW_LynchESP

George....... I got to say my brother, I am proud of the path you've taken and respect your humility. Other comments here do bring up some good points about signing on the dotted line, but you have remained an important influence in the industry and have also maintained long term relationships with "like minded" folk. The others? Well, lets just say they knew nothing of protecting their art and maintaining their original personalities and the real reasons they became interested in music. Still loving all your music....... even 25-30 years later!!

And he still is today in 2021 (check out Phase 2 by The End Machine). Long may he continue to bless us with his music and his talent.

Other than those you mentioned... Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhodes, Chris Oliva, Dave Prichard, Mark Reale, Tony Iommi, Richie Blackmore...the list goes on. I've probably been influenced to some degree by just about every guitarist that's played on every song I've heard. Obviously some more that others, but an influence is an influence.

What George said at 16:46 is the same thing that we ask about Dokken. He wants Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton to reunite Cream. But, Don is the one that doesn't want a Dokken Reunion. Bummer. Btw, I love everything Lynch puts out and own all of it. Just a side note. :)

lots of practicing helps but becoming a world famous band requires a combination of ineluctable qualities that cannot be predicted at all. You need to have a unique style, tone and the "time" has to be right for your genre of music.
