Legendary Guitar Hero Steve Lynch In The Aquarium!

Today’s guest had a profound influence on rock guitar playing in the 80’s!

Known by many guitarists as the “two handed guitarist,” he was an innovator of the hammer-on method…

as well as many other advanced techniques. Originally a bass player, he moved onto guitar the actual day that Jimmy Hendrix passed on…September 18th, 1970.

At the ripe young age of fifteen, he started emulating Harvey Mandel’s technique and began studying theory and jazz under Don Mock.

Subsequently, Mock moved to LA and founded GIT. Today’s guest was one of the first students to graduate from GIT along with Jennifer Batten…who, by the way,

SWEARS by our guests technique. Our guest’s technique was born in 1978 and was referred to as the “two handed tapping technique.”

Working with greats like Greg Lake of ELP and Savoy Brown…among with many others, he won the guitarist of the year in 1983.

In 1984, he began jamming with a group of other talented musicians. While jogging one day, David Lee Roth heard their music and insisted that they

open for Van Halen on their up coming tour. With no name, the group had to come up with one on the fly…hence, AUTOGRAPH!

In 1985, Autograph’s album…Sign in Please, went platinum and our guest won “guitar solo of the year” on the song, “Turn up the Radio.”

Two more albums with RCA…books….a new band…a guitar school…a new solo album and his name etched on the guitar extraordinaire forever…
