Lol! Paul is simultaneously hilarious and incredibly talented. I love his “I’m happy to show you anything “ attitude. He makes you believe that you can get better!
Mr. Gilbert has always been my favorite shredder of all time. His melody choices, the way he picks. The way he doesn't pick doesn't matter. He just got a good sound.
Proof that He is HIM. This guy, he's like the leo messi of guitar. Shows up at G3, smoother technique than Petrucci. Hangs with Mr. Big, living that rockstar dream. Then he goes all out into underrated metal stuff with RacerX and Later on, writes these killer pop and hopeless romantic shred tracks about love, but with these mind-blowing solos. What a random legend. He is HIM, has always been
@@hon8177 well, yes, that’s a whole different thing. The best guitarist, in my opinion are instantly recognizable and skillful. My top guitarist are Krantz, Scofield and Beck, in no order, but followed by Frank, Jerry and Jimi. I can’t listen to these technical guys- at all. Watching them perform is another story. These guys inspire me to play and strive to better.
@@hon8177Asato is like a more polished John Mayer(guitarwise) ,you acan hear a lot of Larry Carlton in Mancuso's style and Guthrie is Guthrie... So they all have feel imo just different from what you are used to maybe 😁
Paul is one of the nicest guys I ever met. Once filmed an interview with him outside the Ibanez Festival in Germany. He was so down to earth and fully immersed in what he was doing. Such a great soul of music.
He really is. I met him while he taught at GIT when a friend was going there and he landed me his dubbing deck and a bag of demo tapes from a bunch of bands he had been.
There's something about starting a fast picked run with legato that lets your brain get synced up to the tempo before starting up the pick motion. Yngwie does this a lot too.
One of the most underrated tools is palm muted legato. Even if it’s only slightly palm muted, it still has enough percussive attack to trick the listener’s brain into thinking there’s some picking happening.
@@nfmg2265 Who's exactly the opposite of clean shredding technique and synchronization, LOL. Of course it's sort of an hyperbole but Shawn Lane was quite sloppy and not in Paul's league as a shredder. Amazing musician, writer and player though, no doubt.
Not picking the last 2 descending notes on the higher string allows Paul to avoid the dreaded "inside picking" scenario when crossing strings and start with a downstroke on the lower string. Nonetheless, it still achieves a very unique sound that isn't purely mechanical.
Looks like Zorg from Fifth Element with Harry Carrey's glasses. And yes im going to unfairly pick on his looks because I cannnot fairly pick on his playing...
Paul is the GOAT. I love many guitarists. But he was the first I saw as a massive inspiration. Someone who believes in the craft, makes it part of him, and is so kind, and humble (mostly) lol. I don't think he's showing off for the sake of it.
GOAT of guitar yes, but under appreciated? PG is rightfully revered and recognized by the guitar's community as one of the very best ever, so i don't see how he may be underrated.
First time I heard racer x was around 1990 when my brother was going wheels up to GIT. Then I got to meet the man while visiting, met Billy Sheahan (my idol) and many others!
I met Paul at a guitar clinic, around 1988. When I shook his hand, I asked him if his picking technique would rub off. He told me to keep practicing. I'm still trying to catch up with him. Miles to go...
My band did shows with Racer X back in the 80s and they were incredible to watch. I heard rumors about Paul Gilbert and the power drill and sure enough.
Paul Gilbert has been very very cool since the 80's!! He recorded a solo for Daryl Mansfield called "AFTER THE STORM". I had a small studio in the 80's and was talking to Mansfield on the radio and inquired about the session with Paul Gilbert. Mansfield's comments were hilarious!! Gilbert shows up to the session, plugs in and is standing in the booth waiting to start playing. Mansfield got on the talk back and said " he man you need to warm up or anything??? Gilbert shakes his head no and says... Na, I'm good lol They start the play back a Gilbert does what Gilbert does and took a little journey to SHRED-CITY!!! LOL Mansfield's comment was friggin hilarious!!! He says... The CAT was all over it right out of the case man!!? Classic 80's , Flashback. If you have never heard the Daryle Mansfield song " after the storm"??? It's some of Paul Gilbert's best improved shredding!!!!
U realise there's jazz/swing players that can actually play lead with chord patterns very fast that would smoke this. But that's not the point of music. If music is just being in awe of technique only then it misses the point
Total complete sting control is how I feel about that. And vital and valuable link between rhythm and the sound. And great thing about it is, you got to be dedicated and about that life to master the technique period

Paul was born with shredder syndrome. It’s incurable and we are grateful.
Simply the best comment here
What he ^^^ said…!❤️
Pablo Gilberto..
The Man..
Salute to u Sir
Pablito Gilbertus is amazing lml
Paulus Gilbertus 🏛️
Gilbertico Pavlov
Intense Rock..
Go down to Mexico
Gimme an E 🎉@@undertheglassmoon2239
Rick loves his guests. He really enjoys doing these interviews. You’re the best, Rick!
His laugh at the end is all that's needed! 😂
Gilbert is the only guy who can show off and not sound like he's showing off.
He just absolutely loves making music.
@@galenmarek8287
The only other player who smiled as much as Paul was Eddie.
Yessss!
He isn't showing off as much as he's playing at his usual level of technique.
@@AAAA-lt9hq Paul makes everything look effortless. He's amazing.
Paul Gilbert is a damn treasure of a man.
Yes he is a great player. And his persona in general is great
Paul’s passion is absolutely contagious. How can you not listen to him play and not smile.
I love his personality, just a friendly guy
a gem
Lol! Paul is simultaneously hilarious and incredibly talented. I love his “I’m happy to show you anything “ attitude. He makes you believe that you can get better!
Paul is such a down to earth humble guy! Also has a great sense of humor.

The crazy/cool uncle we all wish we had!
I love this guy so much.
When you shred so long you become the benevolent mayor of shred

Why just one friend. They all have something to offer.

I dont know I would say guthrie maintains a lot of musicality despite speed and technicality... gilbert and mancuso lack that in my personal opinion

@@zmlhezmlhe4843Yeah they're all good and different, thankfully. But when it comes to shred Paul is still the king of them all.
I miss Racer X.
I’ve listened to them on many Sunlit Nights
I used to listen to them late Into The Night.
He’s an absolute MACHINE! 🤘

@@BradEnquist that‘s super rad!
Such a likeable person
I love the "On the loose" solo...it's pure fire. He's definitely my favorite.
There's something about starting a fast picked run with legato that lets your brain get synced up to the tempo before starting up the pick motion. Yngwie does this a lot too.
Yes, my thoughts too.
I love how Buckethead uses it. Lightning.
interesting thought, makes sense

Cool observation!
You have so much talent Mr Gilbert!!!
One of my top favorite shredders of all time! His picking and hand synchronization are second to none, IMHO!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸😀😎🔥
SHAWN LANE !!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST

Yep that annoying scenario... Not sure how Petrucci deals with it
bullshit there is no any inside picking if played all notes picked. do you even have a guitar man??
@@anothernpc8246 I do but I'm willing to ship it to you so you can start learning guitar 🙂
He is not picking all the notes as he says in the video @anothernpc8246
Two guys who love the guitar. It's a joy to watch!
Paul is so down to earth and so honest and cool. He's also very witty and enjoyable always
Phenomenal player !! 🤟🤟 🎸 ✌️♥️♥️
👍
🎸🤟🤟😊
I didn't know Gary Oldman played guitar this well 😁
When he started talking, he reminded me for a second of Will Ferrell doing his Harry Caray impression. 🤣🤣
😂😂
You mean Dana Carvey😂
I love him in that new show: Fast Horses.
Looks like Zorg from Fifth Element with Harry Carrey's glasses.
And yes im going to unfairly pick on his looks because I cannnot fairly pick on his playing...
I want a t-shirt with Paul's face and a quote under it that says, "Do something scaley today!"
And in the back it says "get tricky with the g string"
*Boils kettle*
Bro! You need to reach out to him. That's money lol
I liked "horribly unpicked."
I would wear it
Paul the Great 🤘🎸🤘
Brilliant. So much thought into what and how he does it but so natural in his playing.
Paul is the GOAT. I love many guitarists. But he was the first I saw as a massive inspiration. Someone who believes in the craft, makes it part of him, and is so kind, and humble (mostly) lol. I don't think he's showing off for the sake of it.
He's a real genius. LOVE his music with MR. Big and own projects. Gigs so brutal!!!!
I Love this dude, so humble
Beautiful my man, you really shred that keyboard and those modulations are fantastic such moments of grace in every piece you play !!
Paul's relaxing pace would make my eye pop out of my head.
I wish i could play that effortlessly. Paul is the man.
Really interesting. I can sling blues licks but this style has eluded me...awesome to see the joy he gets from it at the end
Paul is just a fun player to listen to and watch..love ya dude👊
Paul is a cery natural guitarplayer, with lots of love and joy for music, i like him alot
Love that man's attitude. Paul rocks! 🔥🔥🔥
Dude is still THE MAN!!!
Just and Simply Amazing ...
Mr. Big. Green tinted-sixties mind. Love this guy one of my guitar heroes.
under appreciated goat of guitar.
Compared to who?
What a statement
GOAT of guitar yes, but under appreciated? PG is rightfully revered and recognized by the guitar's community as one of the very best ever, so i don't see how he may be underrated.
Mindless noodling. Guthrie Govan is the GOAT
under appreciated? He's known as probably the best alternate picker to ever play a guitar.
Man, this guy has always amazed me!! Even with his pentatonic scales hes crazy!!
First time I heard racer x was around 1990 when my brother was going wheels up to GIT. Then I got to meet the man while visiting, met Billy Sheahan (my idol) and many others!
Gary oldman shreds like hell😅
I met Paul at a guitar clinic, around 1988. When I shook his hand, I asked him if his picking technique would rub off. He told me to keep practicing. I'm still trying to catch up with him. Miles to go...
So pumped I finally got to see Paul Gilbert play live with Mr Big in Roseville. Incredible show- They were so good!
Both amazing musicians!
This was an amazing interview. Love PG
The Sheldon Cooper of guitar!
fast isn't always music but the skill is keen
As for as technique goes, Paul is one of the best. It always blows my mind how easy he makes it look
My band did shows with Racer X back in the 80s and they were incredible to watch. I heard rumors about Paul Gilbert and the power drill and sure enough.
Imagine getting to learn from Paul. Also this is a great tip. I’ve heard a few other guitarists suggest it but hearing it from Paul, I’m convinced.
He's just crazy talented! 🎶 🎸
If I'm not mistaken he taught Buckethead, both master and disciple are technically astute.
Shawn Lane
Paul is a fucking machine
One of the best on the plane
'there's one little thing'
....Oh Paul you are a gem
I love Paul Gilbert so much

Paul is a legend
Such a great dude too!
One of my top-3
Always loved Paul's pick attack, so clean
The GOAT
Jackson Lamb is an amazing guitar player
I love Paul so much.
His personality is infectious.
What I wouldn't give to have personal lessons from Paul. Helluva teacher.
Love this guy. Damn, that sounded amazing!
Arguably the best hands ever. I have been fortunate enough to be in such a setting, and the Man is an absolute buzz saw. Even unamplified.
I remember him from early 90s ... he was my generation... sad to see him get older😢
I’m not a guitarist but that’s genuinely a really really clever approach to playing so quick. No wonder he can play as fast as he does.
Paul is so ridiculously good
Beast
So clean,.......!!!!👍💪👍
Definitely a legend ❤
Love Paul Gilbert
What a legend
Paul Gilbert is my favourite human being
This is how I do it too. I feel validated!
Why is he just the best teacher in the world
I remember seeking him in Racer X in the clubs in Los Angeles and they were one of the best bands around! Their albums are also very good
Love this guy
La pvta leyenda Paul Gilbert!!!💪💪
The man , the myth , the legend
The best guitarist in the world. No other words.
U realise there's jazz/swing players that can actually play lead with chord patterns very fast that would smoke this. But that's not the point of music. If music is just being in awe of technique only then it misses the point
One of the greatest! 🎉
Total complete sting control is how I feel about that. And vital and valuable link between rhythm and the sound. And great thing about it is, you got to be dedicated and about that life to master the technique period
Beautiful sound
I didn't know Gary Oldman was so good at guitar. Damn. 🤯
Paul Gilbert + Steve Morse = 🔥🔥🔥
This guy doesn't get old man!
Amazing player!!!
my fav guitarist Always 😍
That rick laugh when some of his guests play something is just epic hehehe
