    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.

    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.

    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!!!!
