Here’s a clip from one of Marco Sfogli’s solo record tunes titled “Andromeda". Enjoy it!

George Lynch - Live at the Namm show 2008. You get George up close doing major music mayhem. The view is what I remember from back in the day, when he was in Dokken and they were opening for Dio. George was a Guitar hero and in the video proves you can try but like his shirt says - He is a cowboy and a Guitar Gunslinger - He will shred many a Guitar player and have them go back to their day jobs after being shot down and shut down.
