George Lynch: Behind the Player

IMV LLC announces the release of a new Interactive Music Video in the Behind the Player series featuring George Lynch. George Lynch is the virtuoso guitar player from the bands Dokken and Lynch Mob. His unique melodic style and technical mastery have influenced countless fans for decades.

The IMV: Behind the Player DVD series -- which features in-depth music lessons from members of some of the world’s most influential bands like KoRn, Godsmack, Ozzy Osbourne, Slipknot, Atreyu and Velvet Revolver -- provides music fans with an exciting new way to learn their to play favorite songs: right from the artists that recorded them.

In his IMV: Behind the Player DVD, George provides an intimate behind-the scenes look at his life as a professional musician – including rare photos and video footage. He gives in-depth lessons for how to play “Mr. Scary” by Dokken and “Tooth and Nail” by Dokken released; then jams the tracks with Megadeth bassist James Lomenzo and KoRn drummer Ray Luzier.

The DVD also includes exclusive VideoTab™, which was transcribed in collaboration with George and shows exactly how he plays the two tracks. The video-game-style animated tablature is similar to GuitarHero®, except shows how to play the tracks for real.

“I’ve done a bunch of instructional videos in my time, but nothing like this Behind the Player DVD -- it was more like shooting a music video than an instructional.” George continued, “Jamming the tracks with James Lomenzo form Megadeth and Ray Luzier from KoRn was a lot of fun. I think it’s a great idea to include a jam of the songs that are being taught, so that people can see how the instrument parts work together in the tracks.”

The IMV: Behind the Player DVD series is currently available at local and national music retail outlets, including all Guitar Center locations and online at BehindThePlayer.com.

Other titles currently available include: KoRn guitarist Munky, John 5, guitarist for Rob Zombie and formerly Marilyn Manson; Tim Skold, former guitarist and bassist for Marilyn Manson and KMFDM; Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan; Mike Inez, bassist for Alice in Chains and formerly Ozzy Osbourne; KoRn bassist Fieldy; Slipknot bassist Paul Gray; Blasko, bassist for Ozzy Osbourne and formally Rob Zombie; Godsmack bassist Robbie Merrill; Tommy Clufetos, drummer for Rob Zombie; Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros drummer Stephen Perkins; and Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin.
