Totally agree man, he's such an interesting guy with an insane amount of talent. On a side note, great to see you over here :D My Cheaa keyring is proudly attached to my bike key haha!

The secret to being as good as Paul Gilbert is just two simple things: 1) Having every song ever written playing simultaneously in your head and being able to pick out the part you want and instantly transcribe it to guitar. 2) Level 99 happiness and enthusiasm. Easy peasy.
Straight up fact; Why Paul is as good as he is, is directly because of the support he got from his parents. His father built his amps and guitars, his name is George. George built a lot of amps for local guys. I have one. His Dad took him to the Randy Rhodes seminar at a local guitar shop, 2 months before he died. Ozzy heard about him, I assume through Randy. George also had sent a cassette of Paul to Mike Varney the year before and Mike called him Randy Rhodes Jr. Ozzy got Pauls contact info from Mike and called the Gilbert residence, saying he wanted to hire Paul when he was 16 and luckily George said absolutely not he's too young. And that probably saved Paul's career and maybe his life, LOL. Paul was so mad about that but his Dad sent him out to that school instead and well, the rest is history. But his parents were the reason he became what he is.
“Everything was working perfectly, I couldn’t be happier... so I changed everything” If that doesn’t represent 99% of guitarists, I don’t know what does.
Bar chords wre impossible for me, then I got a new guitar and *magic*. Turns out they're really hard for a child to play on a cheap full-size classical guitar with insanely high action. Even now I struggle to play some on that particular guitar :D
Paul Gilbert is magical. He's so insanely skilled yet humble and there's a child-like passion to him when he talks about music. He's also amazingly articulate with what he wants to convey in his teachings and his playing. He's got a bluesman's soul, a popstar's heart and the skill of a virtuoso. He's the 80s equivalent of John Mayer with his unabashed love of pop music offset with monster guitar chops.
17:44 "I wanna be good enough on my instrument where any idea that I get, I'm able to bring to reality" THIS is what I'm striving for, I'm sure many other musicians feel this way too
Paul Gilbert is an interviewer's dream. He hardly needs any prompting at all. Just excited to share. Wonderful man. Brilliant musician. Unbelievably gifted guitarist.
I was at the workshop. I was in the front row, right in front of Mr G and ahve to say a massive thanks to Andertons for putting the show on. For 12 quid you got 3 hours of Paul Gilbert, an Ernie Ball goodie bag with a set of strings, an Ernie Ball coaster, an Ernie Ball string winder and a guitar cleaning set and you got your picture taken with the great man afterwards. What a great time and memory..
You should watch this video of a guitar battle with Marty Friedman called something like A-Z Heavy Metal and it’s basically a game where they pick a letter of the alphabet and have to play a riff of a band that starts with that letter (i. e. T = Toto = Africa). It’s so much fun to see how fast they come out with the riff.
This is a true savant. His enthusiasm a thing to behold. Love this guy. Unabashedly and lovably eccentric. An bona fide and authentic original. "I don't have the arms for hard labour." A throw away line. Funny. Beautiful.
Paul admits what pretty much every phenomenal musician admits...he’s a major Beatles fan. Thank God for the Fab 4, they inspired an army of great musicians.
There is nothing better than watching an interview for the first time, with someone you've grown up listening to play the guitar and realising he's a nice guy! Respect!!
I am a 34 year old guitarist and singer who more enjoys metal music and newer stuff. I am also a carpenter and the guy I work with is a 57 year old guitarist who enjoys everything from classic rock to old blues and jazz fusion. We both listen to Paul Gilbert at least several times a week, from album beginning to end. We love it. Paul is up on that list of untouchable guitarists who will always be cutting edge. Lucky you Capt. for getting to sit with the man himself.
Has anyone noticed how Mr Gilbert can't actually talk without playing music at the same time? It just seems to be the way his brain processes language as inextricably entwined with music and guitar. Amazing.
Love how he plays every song he uses as an example. No idea how one man can know so many songs ready to recall at any given moment. Almost as incredible as his playing
1:26 Something important 2:14 Early musical inspirations 9:29 The next step 13:04 The school 16:45 Preferences 21:08 Discover new things along the way 22:40 As long as it's sometimes between 1964-1984 23:56 Mr.BIG 24:52 Global recognition (Indonesia, Japan, etc) 25:12 It's all about the hair 29:28 Teaching 46:06 Gears
Funny to hear at the 30:00 mark what a bad teacher PG was and how he got fired from classroom teaching. Lol. He is by far one of my favorite youtube teachers. He makes simple and to the point videos, yet manages to teach so much.
his online school is good stuff...and getting to correspond with him directly via video is just awesome..he is one of the best teachers out there and an amazing human being to boot and if you have not checked his online school out..go for it..free trial..jam tracks..lessons galore..just good stuff for everybody
31:28 That story about "being bad at something" hit really close to home. Up to 6th grade I basically had straigt A's in all subjects, my worst subject being sport where I had like a B minus, so when we got to pick a new subject in 7th grade I choose some science based class since I was really into that (and still am), but my main class teacher told my parents that I had to get into a class that was really really hard for me because I was so used to sailing through school without ever havint to learn much for tests. So they enrolled me into latin-class and that's where I received my first ever D and I was devestated and momentarily didn't want to go to school any longer, but it taught me a very valuable lesson in the long run.
Hey, I'm 56 and I always was a music disciple. I remember stomping all over the place to the sound of music when I was only two. My first living memory is me sort of sleeping in my crib ( couple of months I guess ) listening to the music playing in the room I was in, alone. For a long time now, many people look at me funny for still loving all kinds of music so much, as if that phase should precisely have been over for a while when in fact, it never was a phase, at least not for me. I Watch and listen to people like Paul here and I understand I'm not a lone freak. This guy is as happy talking and playing music as a kid left alone in a closed candy store. I love the man ! It is such a treat to listen to his stories and see the sparkles in his eyes.. Thank God for music !! Bless you Paul.
I'm 3 years older check out John Jewell 1985..Graduated in 87..Billy and Paul private lessons that year.My 1985 list was before M.I. before school and Seth Riggs
My band gets to perform as direct support for Mr. Big in June, and I won't be able to sleep until then knowing that I'll be sharing the stage with and watching one of my all time heroes do what he does best (and if I'm lucky, get to pick his brain a bit)! Great interview as always, I could listen to Paul and The Captain go on for days. This one came at just the right time. (:
F*CK SH*T Tv it was amazing! Killer crowd, killer set, The band sounded incredible and I got the opportunity to meet all of the guys, and talk with Pat before his passing. And, I got to cower in fear while some of the guys watched our soundcheck. Lol. One of my best memories!
Paul Gilbert is one of the most underrated guitarist... and is probably one of the best. He can do all... and the best of all, he knows what is playing. I had the pleasure of meet him, and its one of a kind.
Cant get enough of Paul Gilbert. Coolest and down to earth virtuoso there is. He remained a true music and guitar fan. Talks about other guitar heroes like a young kid would do. While in the same time he is one of the gratest. Nothing but love for the guy
This is the best Captain Meets yet. Lee does an excellent job just being himself. Paul Gilbert comes across as a genuine great guy and genuinely awesome! Andertons should feature as a case study in every Business 101 course, "How to do marketing by social media right".
I love all the Captain meets episodes, but i keep coming back to this one, Paul is just the nicest most genuine and humble guy. Also his playing is beyond glorious!
I met paul in 2013 after he played a gig in Manchester. Super cool and very nice guy. Me and several other people waited in freezing cold for 40 mins and he chatted to everyone and again was a super cool guy and very appreciative
Great interview! Paul was at the Satriani G3 camp I went to a year or so ago, and he was the nicest guy in all the classes he taught, and he praised EVERYONE'S technique and ideas as they jammed. His classes were of course always packed.
Thoroughly entertaining session with a man who is highly respected and respects, in turn, his influences. Laser-like intelligence and encyclopedic knowledge of his instrument. Killer chops all wrapped up in great attitude and a fine sense of humor. Rock on!
Captain I think you should interview Rabea. Honestly. Rabea is my favorite guitarist and I just love his stuff and it would be cool to see him go more in detail about his background! great conversation btw! Arguably the best guest yet!
I wish us all to retain this vibrant young fresh breeze in our soul, just like Paul! So much passion. So much reinvention all the time. He probably will never bore us (and himself).
That tone that Paul has in this video is THEE tone I picture in my head! Good old Marshal JCM800 into a humbucker loaded guitar is never going to disappoint. One of the most memorable captain meets!
It's already 5 years what the heck :) I remember when you posted this. Would love to see a second interview / hangout. Paul Gilbert will always be my favorite guitarist!
“Studying with the teacher” such an important statement that Paul said. Playing guitar and learning how to be better can be done while playing with other people. Seems like common sense, but it’s becoming a lost art-form. And it’s proven true in the next segment when Paul shows CPT how to strum up and down aggressively! 👏 such a good episode! Thank guys for this!
Paul Gilbert! Such a nice guy. Anyone notice he is using hearing aids? Beware, folks, for the Volume of your amps! TONE doesn't mean being loud. It's about feel and soul
Some amps need volume before they start sounding good. That's why we have earplugs. When you go to a concert, wear earplugs, when you're playing live with a band, wear earplugs.

steve k. If your goal was to make me laugh with that one then you did a damn fine job my friend. Peace lollll
Really
Capt looked nervous every time Paul played a Zep riff. He's like.."Copyright!!!" ;)
@The-Art-of-Guitar he kind of looks down all sheepish like "oh shit, he's playing Zeppelin! stop please stop." haha
Mike, just watched your video about
The Osmonds…HOLY SHIT!! 😳😳
Fuckin ROCKS!!
love your vidoes man.... real S tier stuff
Zep wasn’t worried about copyright, why would Cap?
@Tylergreen
Nice burn.
The secret to being as good as Paul Gilbert is just two simple things:
1) Having every song ever written playing simultaneously in your head and being able to pick out the part you want and instantly transcribe it to guitar.
2) Level 99 happiness and enthusiasm.
Easy peasy.
Legit why I look up to Paul. He is like a human jukebox and can pick out any part of any song.
Straight up fact; Why Paul is as good as he is, is directly because of the support he got from his parents. His father built his amps and guitars, his name is George. George built a lot of amps for local guys. I have one. His Dad took him to the Randy Rhodes seminar at a local guitar shop, 2 months before he died. Ozzy heard about him, I assume through Randy.

Don't know if there is anyone that is good as him alive. Michael Schenker of course... .
Don't forget having a pinky that's as long as your index finger.
@@craigharrison5406 Lol ya that too.
“Everything was working perfectly, I couldn’t be happier... so I changed everything”

Arranging my few pedals now ! I still sound like shit !
Maybe it's about learning and trying new things (not standing still)
so so so true ! lol
Yeah us guitarist can't leave good enough alone.
Amazing interview!
Omg Kiko its you're amazing
tesourooo!
Kiko!!!!
Percebo que assisto os vídeos certos quando vejo o Kiko Loureiro em pessoa comentando kkkk
Not as amazing as you
It's amazing how Paul Gilbert is still so excited to play the guitar. A REAL guitar hero 👽
hearing Paul say he remembers thinking bar chords felt impossible is really motivating to me
chris F around the age of 10, not 20 like me...oh well
keep at it bro, everyone has been there..you'll be shredding before you know it
Christ, I remember it being impossible too. If you’ve not gotten there yet, you can most certainly do it!
Bar chords wre impossible for me, then I got a new guitar and *magic*. Turns out they're really hard for a child to play on a cheap full-size classical guitar with insanely high action. Even now I struggle to play some on that particular guitar :D
His love for the instrument is infectious. The dude simply cannot stop himself from playing. It’s great.

You did not just compare Paul Gilbert to John Mayer. Paul Gilbert is on a different planet than Mayer

Paul Gilbert is an interviewer's dream. He hardly needs any prompting at all. Just excited to share. Wonderful man. Brilliant musician. Unbelievably gifted guitarist.
Paul Gilbert is basically a metal Jeff Goldblum. Just oozing sauce with every lick.
Kazuya Good to see a fellow Tekken player here
Ik I just comment he sounds like goldblum lol.so not just me.
He sounds like Goldblum when he talks, but he looks like Kramer when he plays.
Goldblum is the exact same in everything he ever did! Also a sell out turd. Paul has so much more talent and intelligence.

"This is back when I couldn't afford to buy a lot of records, I was 6 year old, I don't really have a job yet" HAHAHA made my day!
Don't think I've ever seen anyone that's so enthusiastic about playing guitar. Love this guy.
I was at the workshop. I was in the front row, right in front of Mr G and ahve to say a massive thanks to Andertons for putting the show on.

"When you rock that hard, you don't even need distortion."
Man... that one was a slap in my face.
Watching this in 2024 and really enjoying it. Paul is a real treasure to the guitar community.
Holy crap Gilbert has such a riff vocabulary. I guess knowledge is power.
He knows every song every written It's unreal
You should watch this video of a guitar battle with Marty Friedman called something like A-Z Heavy Metal and it’s basically a game where they pick a letter of the alphabet and have to play a riff of a band that starts with that letter (i. e.

By far the best guest on the captain's show. He had a guitar in his hand for the entire hour.
18:36 When Paul does "Green Tinted Sixties Mind", that floored me. He plays so fluently. Gosh, some people just have it.
This is a true savant. His enthusiasm a thing to behold. Love this guy. Unabashedly and lovably eccentric. An bona fide and authentic original. "I don't have the arms for hard labour." A throw away line. Funny. Beautiful.
7:42 Paul trying to play "Barracuda" with only upstrokes just killed me. XD
Paul Gilbert always has an infectious child-like enthusiasm for music. You can't watch him without smiling.
What a great guy ,
He is awesome..
Certainly that's how he comes across in interviews. Sadly when I met him, though, he wasn't a nice guy. Quite a surprise (and a disappointment)
test what happened
test I met him at a guitar clinic and I don't think he wasn't nice, just seemed a bit shy
We all have bad days. Perhaps he didn't want to be bothered, and you ran up with a big :O
"When you rock that hard, you don't even need a distortion"

You can see the pure, unfiltered passion Paul has for playing the guitar through that glorious guitar face he pulls
Paul Gilbert is probably the best teacher ever. His humility is on point and he's a special person
Has anyone noticed how Mr Gilbert can't actually talk without playing music at the same time? It just seems to be the way his brain processes language as inextricably entwined with music and guitar. Amazing.
I actually find it super interesting that when he first picked up guitar he used exclusively upstrokes and had to be taught downstrokes
Steven Chabot if you look at frank zappa he seems to prefer up strokes .....strange technique but has a great sound 54
Steven Chabot if you look at frank zappa he seems to prefer up strokes .....strange technique but has a great sound 54
Exclusively upstrokes and he only used the low E string too. :)
He didn't tell the full story though, not sure why. His first guitar teacher was the one who told him that he could only do that.
MrBX5 not true, it's just what Paul remembered bc he was so young
Paul Gilbert: "Your A chord sounded great..."
Hahah Classic Pablo =)

Really
every time I see an interview with Gilbert I leave it in a better mood. Such an awesome dude.
Nicest guy ever!! Cheers from Brazil!
He's so articulate. It's incredible.
Love how he plays every song he uses as an example. No idea how one man can know so many songs ready to recall at any given moment. Almost as incredible as his playing

Also hes a trip. He speaks so casually with absolutely no fucks to give it's so funny.

3 mins in and I'm convinced that this is best Capt Meets yet (apart from the John Mayer one ;-)
His translation speed is incredible. Seeing The Captains reaction to it is priceless.

Which solo of his is the best?
Tornado of Souls
He lives in Japan atm, so it is less likely to happen saddly...
your wish has been granted!
Paul , such a nice guy, so good teacher. and player ! thumbs up
The chills right as Paul started slamming that Green Tinted intro, with his tone and years of playing it.. god damn.
Who knew this conversation would turn into a lesson, then become a deep personal reflection of the captain as a student
Paul seems like such an awesome guy. Great video!

you just wished Captain to die :D
Can't help but be impressed by this guy. Inspires me to want to be able to to do that.
Was amazed by his talent, and now I'm more floored by his song knowledge.
“Studying with the teacher” such an important statement that Paul said. Playing guitar and learning how to be better can be done while playing with other people. Seems like common sense, but it’s becoming a lost art-form. And it’s proven true in the next segment when Paul shows CPT how to strum up and down aggressively! 👏 such a good episode! Thank guys for this!
Awesome, been waiting for this for ages
Hey Lee, you've got to make a video talking about you, like.. "Captain meets Captain"!! Can't wait to see that!!
Paul Gilbert! Such a nice guy.
Anyone notice he is using hearing aids?
Beware, folks, for the Volume of your amps!
TONE doesn't mean being loud. It's about feel and soul
Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod, woudn't agree with you.
Francisco André Gonçalves some amps (Orange uhum) need to get turned up for tone
Some amps need volume before they start sounding good.
That's why we have earplugs. When you go to a concert, wear earplugs, when you're playing live with a band, wear earplugs.
My neighbors love the music I play they always scream so I turn up :)
Paul Gilbert is even on a site about hearing, giving his own advice about what he wished he dod differently in the past.
Gilbertl has an infectious " I love music" " I love guitar" enthusiasm that never gets old
Paul Gilbert is the most down to earth rock star I can think of.
