This week on No Sleep 'til Sudbury I'm thrilled to host one of my favourite guitar players from my early teen years, Autograph's Steve Lynch. Steve was one of the earliest innovators of fretboard tapping. After hearing Autograph's 80s megahit "Turn Up The Radio" in my car recently, I called Steve up to do the show and talk about the songs that make his skin vibrate.
Steve brings in some great tunes and recounts some cool stories from his Autograph days on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip, including how the band shot guns in the studio to incorporate into their snare drum mixes, and how Van Halen's tour manager warned Steve not to tap during their set because it was "Eddie's thing" when they opened for VH in 1985.
Lynch's playlist:
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for The Devil
Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
Charlie Sexton - Cry Little Sister
Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary
Small Faces - Itchycoo Park
The Beatles - And I Love Her
Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song
