And that leads up to the crescendo of the solo.” Then, I start doing the hammer-on part, and I’m doing the triads for each different chord that’s going by and I follow the chords. Turn Up The Radio(Raw Demo Version) by AutographFrom the album 'Missing Pieces' (1997)This is a demo of their hit song recorded in 1984 before their debut al. Then, I climb up to the top, and then I do this descending thing where it’s in third and sixth intervals – all being major – and I descend down to that. So, as soon as I go into that chord, I come in sliding up – I’m going up the A Mixolydian scale, I’m going from the fourth to the major third, and then to the root to the minor seventh, and just climbing up the scale like that. When it was pointed out how the solo is incredibly nuanced and technical, Lynch pointed out: “We go into a different key we go to the key of A-Major, Mixolydian when we go into it, so that gives you the inclination that something different is going to happen. I tried to be unique and do something that really fit the song itself.”

I did that with all of my solos I always spent a lot of time working on my solos, more so than any other part of the songs. I’ve always worked on my solos, sometimes for weeks at a time, before I come up with something that I really like. I look at the song like we spent time writing the song why shouldn’t I spend time writing a solo for it? And that’s how I’ve always looked at solos. To me, they’re kind of meandering they’re playing licks that they already know. In fact, I can tell when other guitar players do that. I’m not one of those guitar players who just goes and jams over the area where I’m supposed to be doing a solo. It’s difficult trying to come up with something unique, but I always wrote my solos for that particular song. That was the product that’s out there today. I actually spent about 40 hours on that solo before I finally came up with something that I was really satisfied with. I was getting very frustrated because I wanted to find the perfect solo. I kept on coming up with ideas, and then I would throw them away. So, I worked and worked and worked for my solo. With respect to his iconic guitar solo for “Turn Up The Radio”, Lynch noted: “It took me five eight-hour days, because I knew that this song was going to be a hit. They’ve been in the game their whole lives.” The musicians, they’re the ones that are in the game. We actually went into the studio and recorded it without them knowing it, and then when they listened to it back, they went, “Yeah, let’s have this be the first single.” Sometimes these record executives don’t know as much as they portray themselves to. RCA didn’t think it was a strong enough song to have our first single centered to me.
