George Lynch:

I absolutely double everything. It’s so fun to double guitars in the studio. When you get it, the track just blows up. The painful thing, though, is getting that first track. You have to be very accurate, and you have to play something that you can double. If you throw all these cool little inflections in there like Eddie does, it’s tough to double them, and that’s why a lot of his parts would generally be just one track, at least in the early days. Unless you’re Randy Rhoads, it’s really hard to double everything exactly. It’s unfortunate that I’m not good enough to play stuff on the first track that’s totally off the cuff and nail it on the second track. I can, but what I have to do is go in and relearn what I did, and punch in. It’s hard to get it with the same feel.
