Technique
Lynch is generally considered a highly skilled and innovative guitarist. His multi-fingered tapping technique, which he still teaches today, incorporates a complex approach to music theory and often requires the use of all four picking-hand fingers as well as those on the fretting hand. This means that Lynch's solos are often highly technically challenging. Perhaps the most elaborate example of the technique is the unaccompanied instrumental track "Hammerhead", from Autograph's second album That's the Stuff. In 1985 Lynch won the "Guitar Solo of the Year" award from Guitar Player magazine for his solo on "Turn Up The Radio", Autograph's biggest hit.

“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel.
