Sensei George Lynch's Dojo

In the 70's George Lynch had become a product of Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck and was already beginning to reach for the outer limits of his guitar playing oblivion. Though guitar gunslinging was led by Edward Van Halen and Randy Rhoads, Lynch was never in their shadow, as the years would somewhat prove. As one of the most popular guitarists to emerge from '80s-era heavy metal, Lynch came with an arsenal of snazzy-looking guitars and speedy solos, (not to mention a wicked wardrobe). Lynch also helped propel Dokken toward the top of the charts for a spell (one week). After a bloody fallout with Dokken, George lead the one hit Lynch Mob to stardom with Wicked Sensation. Later in his career he made the brilliant move to go solo and quickly decided to open his Guitar Dojo, becoming a Sensei to millions. George has been quoted saying that guitar playing in his Dojo is a two time sport. Let's find out more...

The ORotW welcomes a very special guest inside the studio/library today, Sensei George Lynch.

ORotW: George, thanks for coming out today. What can you tell us about the guitar Dojo you've just opened?
GL: This is a place where students come and learn to be one with their guitars.
ORotW: Uhh, ok. What was the most embarrasing thing that ever happened to you onstage?
GL: The crotch ripping out of my pants while wearing no underwear in front of 18,000 people, or was it 200?, and my tech trying to fix it with a piece of duct tape while I was still playing.
ORotW: George, you're a badass. What was your first concert?
GL: Battle of the Bands at South Gate Park Rec Hall, South Gate California, sometime around 1970 or 73.
ORotW: What is the best guitar advice ever given to you?
GL: Play less, say more. Express your emotions. Music is a language of the heart, soul and mind, that is in many ways purer, and more direct than the written or spoken word.
ORotW: Great advice. How about the worst guitar advice ever given to you?
GL: Shred, dude. Just shred it and they will come. In the Dojo that is the first thing we teach against.
ORotW: (laugh) What do you think was the greatest invention for guitars?
GL: Strings, they make it easy to hold my cig.
ORotW: What music do you have on your iPod right now?
GL: Die Krupps, the new Limp Bizkit and Celine.
ORotW: If you weren't doing this interview, what would you be doing right now?
GL: Fixing my drip system, recording on my computer studio, or making babies with my beautiful, exotic 26 year old wife.
ORotW: George, it's always a pleasure. Please come by and visit ORotW again.
GL: I will but you guys are making this into a place to come and die. I wanna rock forever.
ORotW: WORD!

Tony the Tiger called; he wondered where his shirt and guitar were...

Hey now, George slew that tiger in an epic battle late one night at the dojo. Being a man spiritually in tune with the Universe he honored the tiger's memory by wearing the skin and stretching it across the face of his guitar. It has been said that they tiger and George swapped souls during that struggle, and late at night when there is a full moon George becomes the tiger. Those who follow him closely noticed a slight change in the chords after that fateful night. And if you chance to meet the Dojo Master and gaze into his stare you can truly see the "eye of the tiger."

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all
is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Appreciate it
