I think cause real masters (as professors -scientists) are in some sense "students" until the end of their life - they still try to learn something new
jazz guy: plays tons of great phrases PG: plays run of the mill pentatonic solo Typical fan who doesnt know guitar but worships PG: wow the pentatonic was awesome
I like the way how gilbert listen to his senior...this is how one can get more better...i am proud to follow gilbert...is anyone here feels the same????
I love this video! Paul is an amazing guitarist and he has this infectous curiosity to expand his own knowledge of music and guitar styles and he takes you on the journey with him. You can't help but want to try this for yourself, and at the end of the day, isn't that what music is all about. A shared experience using a language we all love and are learning to speak on our instruments of choice. Keep it up Paul! I love these videos.
wow, I used to live in portland. I know Dan, good to hear him again, But it´s amazing to hear Paul , I was never into his thing, but he´s just incredibly melodic improvising. I´m gonna check him out more now!
This series is just brilliant, not only for the content but also by showing how much love for music a legendary, technically superlative hard rock/metal guitar player still has after all these many years and after all his incredible musical accomplishments. Paul Gilbert, shredder extraordinaire, loves the guitar so much he is still going to school in order to grow musically - brave enough to step out of his own gigantic shadow and to really learn from true greats in other musical genres. Thanks so much to Paul and everyone else involved! Just fantastic and a lesson to all musicians everywhere...
Paul is type of guy who would be wonderful neighbor. He's about as natural as you can get, but still a great, popular musician. Why is it so many rock "heroes" think they have to be weird assholes?
Years ago, I guess when the "United States" album was released, I was really bummed and ran across Paul Gilbert's web page, the old one with all the funny photoshops of his head on all the Beatles meeting Ed Sullivan and the like. It really made me laugh and picked up my spirits so I shot off an email thanking him and "just in case you actually read this" asking about the guitar he was playing in the "Barks" video with he and Freddie Nelson jamming to "Pulsar". Paul actually took the time to answer and tell me what guitar it was, where he bought it (I'm not revealing his "secret" lol! ) and telling me that it "is KILLER." Despite also living in Portland I've not seen or talked to him since that exchange but to my mind he showed himself to be a total class act and a decent human being, in addition to being a crusher on the strings! As for Dan, my mom of all people came home with one of his CDs and it was totally badass! I want to say that one of the songs was called "we'll be right back" or something but that was "around" 1988 so a ways back :) I've not seen Dan live, I was a full on metalhead at the time and the Portland metal scene was thriving and providing a good show at least biweekly but I do remember as a young guitarist being blown away by his chops.
I'm a huge Gilbert fan and love all his shred-tastic metal in all it's glory, but there's a part of me that would love to see Paul take his chops into the jazz world and see what it would sound like. Would love to hear his ideas over a standard like Autumn Leaves or All the Things You Are.
Incredible! Gotta love how Paul still wants to learn while being cinsidered one of the best rock/metal players out there. That solo in C was awesome :D
It seemed like Paul was in student mode until Dan stopped talking during the C major solo. Then he was like "holy shit, i forgot im amazing. Check this out!"
Paul Gilbert is amazing but why the fuck is everyone talking about him here? Dan Balmer is playing much cooler stuff than him in this video. That solo at 0:57 is like the physical manifestation of a boner's energy and everyone is talking about Paul's improv over C major (which is good but is nothing we haven't heard before).
Huge fan of gilbert, but it's pretty clear here Balmer is way better than gilbert here and it is pretty sick he's seeking knowledge in this pursuit, rather than sticking to blues kinda stuff for like the past decade or something lol It just seems like there's so much more tension and color to Balmer's phrasing..
Uh, well, you can tell that Mr Balmer is a freakin theory and guitar genius....not that Paul did not acquit himself - he did very well and sounded very musical
I could watch Paul Gilbert all day. He absolutely loves teaching and is a genuinely real guy. Satch is full of knowledge but not as captivating and can be too technical at times to the point of being boring.
Paul still loves being a student. It's always so great to see his positive attitude.
I think cause real masters (as professors -scientists) are in some sense "students" until the end of their life - they still try to learn something new
sometimes the teacher becomes the student
True professionals have a desire to keep growing in their journey to enhance and compliment their repertoire.
@@yonathanvalensia9613 Can't disagree. Paul newer stuff is pretty good and pretty underrated.
I've met Paul a few times and he was a very kind, humorous and humble person.
0:57 - 1:26 thirty seconds of pure bliss. I used to watch Balmer at jazz clubs in Portland back in the '90s, he's always been so fun to listen to!
paul gilbert besides being a excellent guitarist and super humble , I am unconditional fan
How can PG ever be faulted? He's always open to exploring new styles and is willing to learn. A real musician.
kamaboko1 Alex skolnick is another example of this attitude
Yes.
That off the cuff Cmaj jam was awesome. Could have listened to that all day.
That c major pentatonic solo from Paul was awesome!
Jim Knight it effin' made me smile out of the blues (pun here) :D
jazz guy: plays tons of great phrases
PG: plays run of the mill pentatonic solo
Typical fan who doesnt know guitar but worships PG: wow the pentatonic was awesome
@@jfar3340 Lol stfu the scale doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it sounded amazing
@@Johnnysmithy24 yeah Dan sounded amazing we can agree on that.
@@jfar3340 Of course he did
that c major jam was just so fluid and holy shit eargasmic even tho it was the most basic key to jam in
Its a cool idea so basic that its easily overlooked.
I've probably listened to it 15-17 times today. Just a great sound. The notes fit all together. I love the part from 5:00 too 5:06.
Who cares what key it was in? It is all the same, and all just as hard/easy. Keys don't change that.
I like the way how gilbert listen to his senior...this is how one can get more better...i am proud to follow gilbert...is anyone here feels the same????
no
paul so humble...even though he is a legend a living legend. But always humble...I love em
paul can sound good over anything he is a true master....
I love learning and watching Paul, he has such a look of enjoyment everytime he plays the guitar
Holy sh*t.. that C major pentatonic solo was awesome!

Never heard of dan balmer before. This guys got an awesome style.
Dan Balmer Is Amazing! :D
That Paul Gilbert can learn from anyone else is a testament to why he is so good. And Dan Balmer is amazing also!
Can see Paul isn't in his element but still has come a long way since the 80's

loved this, i could watch this kind of stuff forever. Its fun seeing this part of your journey.

these guys are really awesome... PG so open to play different styles...
Oh my godness the tone melts.. as the word itself it melts..!
If Paul Gilbert comes out with a jazz album I'm buying it.
what jazz album have you bought or listened to recently?
vibrato, but it is kinda jazz fusion
Man this is awesome. Paul you need to do a
Jazz album as a side project. Haha.
How are the shapes called I have to learn to solo like Dan 0:57 ?
Im trying to figure out arpreggios atm, but they dont feel complete
Respect for Paul Gilbert. Beside the fact that he is one of the greatest rock guitarists, he is so humble and open to learning new things.
This might be the best guitar jam on RUclips! The first Gilbert solo might be one of his best.
Paul Gilbert is...just....so....awesome...
Awesome!! I can smile for the rest of the week after watching and listening RNR
melody is and music is melody! what a great melodic jam!
Not only is he a killer player, but he's sporting a Federer hat. I knew I liked this guy
The little jam in C major sounded great There is a hit song there guys !!
C major pentatonic scale sounds so awesome??!!.. I never knew.... Paul Gilbert is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible! Gotta love how Paul still wants to learn while being cinsidered one of the best rock/metal players out there. That solo in C was awesome :D
Thank god at least one person that moved to Portland had something to bring to the table.
It seemed like Paul was in student mode until Dan stopped talking during the C major solo. Then he was like "holy shit, i forgot im amazing. Check this out!"
its funny to see paul gilbert as a student kind of haha, the greatest !!

Paul Gilbert is amazing but why the fuck is everyone talking about him here? Dan Balmer is playing much cooler stuff than him in this video. That solo at 0:57 is like the physical manifestation of a boner's energy and everyone is talking about Paul's improv over C major (which is good but is nothing we haven't heard before).
Paul is so versatile
very good!!!
What hollow body is Dan Playing? A Gibson?
Looks like Ibanez Artist 2630
4:40 how EAAAAAASY it looks like to build the song for somebody who knows what he does :D
Nice, paul its modern jazz note outside
4:50 This is the first time I've seen Paul hitting a wrong note. And I don't care.
6:14
Guthrie Govan once hitting some wrong notes too when jamming with bumblefoot on spiderman song.. and i don't care
Dan really knows his shit!
Love the hypnotic chord. Dont know if i like the solo over it that much tho,would have done something else :)
Besides PG Mr Balmer is VERY awesome! !!
0:42 Good to beat you... we'll yeah, in jazz probably.
don't underestimate the power of old jazzers! ever
didn't know C major pentatonic can be soo good 4:39

Really nice.... love the video. Tasty!
That was weird, like hearing Paul do Opeth stuff.
wow...
4.50 "ow"
Paul can make it sound good even if not his forte. A true master senpai!
You guys are so good and make it look so easy, I’d like to say”screw you both!!” 🤪🤪
Huge fan of gilbert, but it's pretty clear here Balmer is way better than gilbert here and it is pretty sick he's seeking knowledge in this pursuit, rather than sticking to blues kinda stuff for like the past decade or something lol
It just seems like there's so much more tension and color to Balmer's phrasing..
That C major penta jam sounds a lot like Maggie May.
THE COOLEST EVERY !!!
Dan Balmer has a Santana vibe going on....nice
Watching Paul jam is like watching GOD creating life.
I didint Paul is that great improviser. Amazing that he has such a great ear...
Uh, well, you can tell that Mr Balmer is a freakin theory and guitar genius....not that Paul did not acquit himself - he did very well and sounded very musical
those a grown up chords!
Does this guy even know who Paul is?
Man Paul is a monster!
I could watch Paul Gilbert all day. He absolutely loves teaching and is a genuinely real guy. Satch is full of knowledge but not as captivating and can be too technical at times to the point of being boring.
VX84 agreed. Satch is my favorite guitarist of all time but I've really been enjoying watching Paul Gilbert's videos recently
Paul is an exceptional teacher and speaker. A great ambassador for the guitar.
It's the third time I burn my guitar
5:00 Mr. Big-ish ...
God exists...
It must be a woman why would Paul leave the sun of so cal?
paul is a master class in all areas this looks boring to him
