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.
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.
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 😁
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.
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...
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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...
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!!!!
I like that as a lot of these 80's legends get older, they start to realise their musical expression is basically the same with economy picking and a little legato rather than insisting on arthritis inducing alternate picking. 99% of people can't tell, even if they are guitar nerds.
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! 😂
Paul’s passion is absolutely contagious. How can you not listen to him play and not smile.
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
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.
I love his personality, just a friendly guy
a gem

The crazy/cool uncle we all wish we had!
When you shred so long you become the benevolent mayor of shred
I miss Racer X.
I’ve listened to them on many Sunlit Nights
I used to listen to them late Into The Night.
I love this guy so much.

@@BradEnquist that‘s super rad!
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

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.

Cool observation!
He’s an absolute MACHINE! 🤘
I love the "On the loose" solo...it's pure fire. He's definitely my favorite.
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
Such a likeable person
One of my top favorite shredders of all time! His picking and hand synchronization are second to none, IMHO!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸😀😎🔥
SHAWN LANE !!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST

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...
Phenomenal player !! 🤟🤟 🎸 ✌️♥️♥️
👍
🎸🤟🤟😊
You have so much talent Mr Gilbert!!!
Paul is so down to earth and so honest and cool. He's also very witty and enjoyable always
Two guys who love the guitar. It's a joy to watch!
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
Brilliant. So much thought into what and how he does it but so natural in his playing.
Paul's relaxing pace would make my eye pop out of my head.
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.
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
Beautiful my man, you really shred that keyboard and those modulations are fantastic such moments of grace in every piece you play !!
Gary oldman shreds like hell😅
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.
If I'm not mistaken he taught Buckethead, both master and disciple are technically astute.
Shawn Lane

Paul the Great 🤘🎸🤘
So pumped I finally got to see Paul Gilbert play live with Mr Big in Roseville. Incredible show- They were so good!
Mr. Big. Green tinted-sixties mind. Love this guy one of my guitar heroes.
fast isn't always music but the skill is keen
I wish i could play that effortlessly. Paul is the man.
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!
He's a real genius. LOVE his music with MR. Big and own projects. Gigs so brutal!!!!
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.
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.
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...
Man, this guy has always amazed me!! Even with his pentatonic scales hes crazy!!
Love that man's attitude. Paul rocks! 🔥🔥🔥
I Love this dude, so humble
Paul is a cery natural guitarplayer, with lots of love and joy for music, i like him alot
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.
This was an amazing interview. Love PG
As for as technique goes, Paul is one of the best. It always blows my mind how easy he makes it look
The Sheldon Cooper of guitar!
Paul is just a fun player to listen to and watch..love ya dude👊
Dude is still THE MAN!!!

One of my top-3
'there's one little thing'
....Oh Paul you are a gem
Paul is a fucking machine
Both amazing musicians!
Just and Simply Amazing ...
Always loved Paul's pick attack, so clean
I remember him from early 90s ... he was my generation... sad to see him get older😢
One of the best on the plane
Beast
What I wouldn't give to have personal lessons from Paul. Helluva teacher.
I didn't know Gary Oldman was so good at guitar. Damn. 🤯
Such a great dude too!
Paul Gilbert and Marco Minnemann are brothers, I swear 😂 both maestro at their instruments, and have a chill attitude
I love Paul Gilbert so much
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.
Love this guy. Damn, that sounded amazing!
He's just crazy talented! 🎶 🎸
I love Paul so much.
His personality is infectious.
Beautiful sound
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
Paul is a legend
Wow, as someone who does not shred, that explained a whole hell of a lot about his sound.
Paul is so ridiculously good
So clean,.......!!!!👍💪👍
The GOAT

The white samurai..never get old of his technique
One of the greatest! 🎉
Amazing player!!!
Why is he just the best teacher in the world
Absolute tactician
I was so naive to thought I might be able to learn something from this short lol
Jackson Lamb is an amazing guitar player
That rick laugh when some of his guests play something is just epic hehehe
the way he said pick pick pick pick pick so awesome
Ok Thank You that cleared it up for me .. I didnt realize it was that simple.. It always felt rather Complicated to me
Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick Pick all the way
Crazy right hand
Perfect hand synchronization.
This is how I do it too. I feel validated!
Grande Pablo Gilberto!
