I can't badmouth Yngwie. He's cool enough to have allowed a buddy of mine come onto his tour bus after a show to give autographs. In the process, he asked Yngwie to call me on my cell phone and talk to me. Yngwie did! He was cool and funny, and downright funny. He may be cocky sometimes, but that's a pretty cool ass thing to do. He gets major props from me, especially as one of my guitar heroes of all time.
Yngwie is a legit straight up good guy. He was attacked relentlessly by music industry hitmen because record execs colluded in fear that Yngwie would kill record sales of all lesser guitarists and that included EVH and a slew of others.
@@johnp.johnson1541 Oh nonsense lol. Yngwie said heinous things about other bands and guitarists. I have the guitar magazines from the 80s to prove it. When you say bad stuff about other bands their management won't look kindly on it and book you opening slots for their acts.
Guthrie Govan about malmsteen:"when he stopped and played just one note, it sounded like a violin or an opera singer. Yngwie has an incomparable vibrato, which his detractors choose to ignore."
I'm just blown away at how smooth he is. He has a quiet, clean tone. No distortion to cover up any mistakes and he NAILS it. Love Paul. I would still like to see an all-out, heavy version like Yngwie does. He would crush it.
I think the mixed legato/alternate picked run after the blues lick in the solo sounds amazing...it has Paul Gilbert written all over it. It gives me chills every time...
I saw Yngwie live in concert about 3 or 4 months ago and his playing was awesome. He still writes and plays at a high level. He will always be the king!
Grinning the while time watching this. PG is the man. I'll never forget how that lead made me feel the first time I heard Malmsteen play it. Ooof goosebumps!
great great cover Paul, some of you just don't know how hard it is just to play it cleaner and softer on these type of songs, really appreciated thank you
Paul, you have a lovely soul and your music reflects it! you have thought us things which we wouldn't have learnt without you. You are the man and the most accomplished guitar player i have come across
One of my fav songs ever Paul Gilbert is so sick man he's one of the best guitar players I've ever heard they just don't make music like this anymore 80s hair bands forever!!!
I like how he adapted the solo for his own style. Malmsteen and Gilbert have completely different picking techniques. Malmsteen is a downward pick slanter and uses economy picking to switch strings at speed, Gilbert is a two way pick slanter and primarily uses alternate picking to cross strings at speed. They both have what works for them and for Gilbert to play a Malmsteen solo, he would need to rearrange the notes to suit his particular style and/or add in his own flavour and modify the solo to make things interesting - as he did here.
It does become more of a concern, but there are ways around it. Yngwie uses hammer-ons and pull-offs for switching after an odd number of notes. Breaks up the consistent attack a bit, which can be good or bad depending on the sound you want.
lol when someone watches cracking the code and thinks he knows everything about pick mechanics. if youd analyze pauls playing more you would have noticed that instead of pure alternate picking (which he can use but hasnt done so since the 90s cuz of tone reasons) he uses an extremely perfect and efficient way of combined legato and picking which makes him able to play pretty much any song. also he can use yngwies style as seen in paul song y.r.o (yngwie rip off)
Nick Salvatore that doesn't have anything to do with what I said. You are right but Paul stopped picking every note since the late 80s. He rarely uses 2 way pick slanting since he tends to do outside picking.
@@gigatesla Nailed it. Trilogy or example, both hammers and pick attack -fluid but tight. All this over-analysis maybe less relevant for adanced stylistic playing - that dfference is what sets them apart.
+Jc333 for real man, what I loved most of Yngwie was his songwriting... of course he's a terrific guitarist, but those albums from the 80's have amazing songs. Take all the soloing and shredding and stuff away, and they're still really amazing songs.
Jc333 I went to one of his concerts a couple years ago and it was kind of a let down, cause it wasn't really song oriented but anyway, it was OK I think
foda velho!!!!!!!!!!! Paul Gilbert é muito foda velho, duvido se o Malmsteen tocaria algo do Gilbert pelo egocentrismo Parabens !!!!! Gilbert sou seu fã incondicional!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I do like the fast notes.... But the fact that he plays them in "pretty much" perfect meter, means the most. Anybody can jam out with sweeps, ect... BUT, to do it in time is a different story.
Paul is just an all around guitar guy, I'm sure he knows everything about his instrument, inside and out, he seems like the kind of guy you can call on the phone and say let's do some jamming, he just really seems like a great guy.
clearly you dont know who youre talking about, paul and malmsteen are contemporaries of the same movement and peers no matter how you look at it, im sure he would have no problem playing the solo, but decided it would be more fitting to put his own spin on it
So true! He broke onto the world guitar scene at 17 and single handedly created a whole new genre of rock guitar. And neo-classical shred was born. I swear he must have sold his soul to be so damn good at such an early age. I think his early stuff is his best. But I like it all. He's definitely earned his guitar god status, that's for sure. I met him twice, and while he was quite inebriated(each time!), he was quite cool and surprisingly humble. Believe it or not.
nope,, they always play like other guy + cool trick and amazing skill.. but thats it.. i dnt hear any musical/interesting note from them.. thats my personal taste tho, u could always disagree..
Yngwie has one of the best vibrato's in the business. Wide, smooth and in tune. I hate it when people do a wide vibrato and the high part of the vibrato fall flat. God, that's almost as bad as slipping in your own vomit after a night on the beers.
Musical interpretation is a mark of a true musician. Yngwie purists may not like this but Paul is showing his stylistic approach to this fantastic song ---and not simply trying to copy Yngwie's version. I too at first was critical until I realized the true point of his version. It's all GOOD! Paul is FANTASTIC! Not only a Great musician and guitar player but a true Fan of MUSIC! You can see it in his enthusiasm! We should all take note of that enthusiasm! At the end of the day- we play Guitar because we love the power of MUSIC! Can I get an Amen Bruther!

Even the great Gilbert pays his respects to the magnificent Malmsteen
link to that video pls
well duh that was one of his main influences
You don't know what you're talking about mate
@@chrismorhen4839 he said it on interview, but i forgot which one
Alot of guitar players didnt, in the late 80s.
P. Gilbert, an influence to me since I was 16 yrs. I'm now 45. Long live shred.
For me too.
the kroginator
Actually 19. I don't know how you came up with 3.
+Maafa 1619 If you think Gilbert is shit why are you watching this video? He's got more talent in his left nut than you do in your whole body.
Long live shred. It reminds me Vulcans from StarTrek
Gotta luv em
Guthrie Govan about malmsteen:"when he stopped and played just one note, it sounded like a violin or an opera singer. Yngwie has an incomparable vibrato, which his detractors choose to ignore."
The more you master your instrument, the more you cherish the infiite nuances of one single note.
yngwie is the best!!!
When you realize Malmsteen,s pop songs in the 80s were actually good
Canzoni pop???ma scendi da marte???
Pop ????
This is one of my favorite Malmsteen songs, and to hear it played so tastefully and respectfully is pure joy.
He sings like a stoner surfer... and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Great voice...
His voice kind of reminds me of Joe Lynn Turner's here.
I'm just blown away at how smooth he is. He has a quiet, clean tone. No distortion to cover up any mistakes and he NAILS it. Love Paul. I would still like to see an all-out, heavy version like Yngwie does. He would crush it.

That was so Paul Gilbert of……Paul Gilbert? 🤷🏻♂️
Someone needs to make a tribute album like this. Easy Listening Malmsteen.
Only a genius can do homage to another genius.
This is a great hat's off to a wicked Malmsteen tune and an awesome rendition of it by Paul!
That was f****** awesome. Paul and yngwie are both up there with the best of the best.
ruclips.net/video/0FjxpRWnsaM/видео.html🤘🤘🤘
I love the sound when he is attacking the low strings fast.That percussive sound.
Paul is an incredible shredder!
Long live the pioneering king of neoclassical shred. Nice tribute by Paul, both giving it his own stamp and playing the signature Malmsteen licks.
Just proves Mr Gilbert can play anything he wants one of the true greats 🤘🤘🤘
No matter how many notes there are, it's always musical, that's what's sets him apart , a joy to watch
The god of guitar even has the great talent of vocal. Paul Gilbert, forever!
I saw Yngwie live in concert about 3 or 4 months ago and his playing was awesome. He still writes and plays at a high level. He will always be the king!
Plays at high level there’s no doubt for that however for music writing I’m not sure
The greatest guitar influencer of all times YJM!!!
You forget the great Tony iommi of black sabbath and the great Ritchie Blackmore of deep purple and rainbow whom yngwie copied from
Amazing! Paul is such a master and also a nice guy!
No offense he doesn't even do the riff right.
Grinning the while time watching this. PG is the man. I'll never forget how that lead made me feel the first time I heard Malmsteen play it. Ooof goosebumps!
great great cover Paul, some of you just don't know how hard it is just to play it cleaner and softer on these type of songs, really appreciated thank you
Welcome to The Malmsteen Lounge...your host with the most Paul Gilbert.
malmsteen is a living legeng !
I love both Gilbert and Yngwie so much.
Bravo come sempre.
Paul is a true maverick. Always searching for expression in his playing.
Totally awesome job! He added his own riffs and style to this gem.
Wow! Paul sings pretty good and made easy work of Malmsteens solos. He always impresses me.
I totally forgot how much potential this song had...wow...amazing Job done by Paul Gilbert.
Had?
It's a great fucking song.
Period.
I say gooday.
Can't say it better. 100 % agreed . And Gilbert is a musical genius.
Paul is so under appreciated....he also is such a nice guy not full of himself, even though he could be ...
Malmsteen in rock guitar has made school, and many play his stuff then he is a great.
yes!
I love this cover.. and that solo was SICK!
Paul, you have a lovely soul and your music reflects it! you have thought us things which we wouldn't have learnt without you. You are the man and the most accomplished guitar player i have come across

Brilliant Paul! beautiful version
Such a cool version! Paul is awesome! \m/
Paul Gilbert! Clean sound. Salute!
Impressionante a clareza que o filho da mãe executa todas as notas.
great song, great author and great execution!! thanks Yngwie and Paul!
Whenever anybody says blah blah blah about Yngwie I point them to the fact that Gilbert admires and respects Yngwie in so many ways - enough said.
I´m love it.Thanks Paul!!!

Stefan Ilic Paul naturally has a downward pick slant, he does two way pick slanting but in his natural state it’s downward pickslanting

crazy picker mr PG, inspiring
paul gilbert is a beast..pure and awesome..i would love to learn more from him personally
Paul Gilbert and Beck look like they could be brothers, haha... the sound of their vocals is even similar.
my favourite guitarist all the time :*
And people say Yngwie Malmsteen can`t compose songs. pfff.

Osman Cea Exactly, only people who know a lot about music can appreciate Yngwie Malmsteen`s work.
Jc333 I went to one of his concerts a couple years ago and it was kind of a let down, cause it wasn't really song oriented but anyway, it was OK I think
Osman Cea I saw him last year all he played was hits. Brought a singer and everything, pretty cool.
Neuromance27 Wrong, Look up Voodo Child by Yngwie he plays and sings lots of songs. Saw him live last year he sang like 3 songs.
that guitar tone........ Paul is a master, been a fan for decades... all 3 of them... haha
Great cover and his tone makes it more difficult to hide mistakes than yngwies tone. Excellent playing!
Very beautiful cover, I love it.
Paul looks great for his age.
That's because he is only 50.
EgoShredder so is Yngwie....
DVN ish but Yng looks terrible for his age.
He probably didnt use drugs
So killer!! And he's singing while playing it....Let that sink in.🤘🤣
Malmsteen in the eighties was brilliant.
go listen to Live in Japan w/ Alcatrazz
Nice version!! Paul is Great as Always!
god, this man is genius.
great tune..!!!...I love this whole album
Nice version of the Malmsteen ditty. Paul's playing is spectacular.
.....but having said that....I miss Yngwie's vibrato! One of the best in the biz.
Paul is the coolest ever... Such a a class act, funny, and down to earth. Just the way I wish most rock stars could be.
Its his wife playing the piano
Paul is immensely talented he's enjoying himself here
This looked like a really easy song to play for Paul.
This is simply great!! Bravo!!!
Solo grandes pueden hacer un cover de otro grande y no morir en el intento 😃
Paul is the Saint of all guitarists
foda velho!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Gilbert é muito foda velho, duvido se o Malmsteen tocaria algo do Gilbert pelo egocentrismo
Parabens !!!!! Gilbert sou seu fã incondicional!!!!!!!!!!
Sem contar q o gilbert tem mto mais palhetada q o malmsteen!
@@andersonandy5837 palhetada dele é mais limpa msm
@@andersonandy5837 lo que dices es muy exacto si si, la verdad es esa👍
Fucking Incredible; I always knew Paul was a genius but haven't seen him in this forum.
This is Paul's way of being funny. It's shredder humor. Like a Yngwie celebrity roast.
Paul is a National Treasure!
I'd like to hear Paul Gilbert do a lounge version of Disciples of Hell from Yngwie. Would be pretty cool.
Awesome song of Malmsteen!!!
paul gilbert = awesome
Yes, I do like the fast notes.... But the fact that he plays them in "pretty much" perfect meter, means the most. Anybody can jam out with sweeps, ect... BUT, to do it in time is a different story.
he prefers string skipping to sweep picking as it is easier to keep in time
Master playing master !
He is clearly not confortable playing Yngwie's economy picking/sweep runs, but when he just sticks to his own Gilbert style, clearly kick ass.
Great work Paul!
Paul slowed it down and did a decent job on the solos, he is super technical!
Paul is just an all around guitar guy, I'm sure he knows everything about his instrument, inside and out, he seems like the kind of guy you can call on the phone and say let's do some jamming, he just really seems like a great guy.
sounds a bit like Stone Cold stripped down like this...very nice!!
Awesome version, thumbs up!
this isn't the original guitar solo...he created this solo that he plays in this vid for this song
would not be able to play the original solo
Paul Gilbert wouldn't be able to play the original solo? Are we talking about the same Paul Gilbert?

u are absolutely correct. for some one who knows him - he is
great heart and super funny.
