Hey kids! Its a brand new installment of Weekend Wankshop with your good buddy, Uncle Ben Eller!
Ever wondered how Paul Gilbert plays so clean and fast?! The secret is, its not ALWAYS his alternate picking powers you're hearing... its his brilliant combination of lightning fast picking combined with strategically-placed legato for a shred bonanza!! And you're about to learn exactly how he does it!
This lick uses his signature trick combined with the A minor scale; it starts off across the bottom two strings (ala Technical Difficulties by Racer X), then ascends up a big 3 note per string scale pattern. Its surprisingly easy and sounds SICK!
In this lesson, you're gonna learn the secret sequence he uses a lot, a super cool lick to help you practice it, plus all the Troy Grady/Cracking the Code downward and upward pick slanting benefits you're gonna practice as you learn it, plus a bunch of other tips and tricks to help you shred HARD today!
Playing my Suhr Modern Satin into the Fractal Axe FX III. Lovely rig.
Thanks for watching! Who else has shred secrets you wanna know about next? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for watching!!! What’s your favorite Paul Gilbert solo that you’d like to see broken down on a future lesson?

Uncle Ben.... What about the intro of 1992 from Mr Big's Defying Gravity??? That part is Killer!!!!
i dont now any of his stuff but this is a good video
Oh man please, pLEASE PLAY THE GARGOYLE FOR US!!! you'd do an amazing rendition of it :D
"Young Man Blues" with his Who tribute...
Uncle Ben... you're not the hero we need... you're the hero we deserve.
Anyone can play like Paul Gilbert. First, you just have to be Paul Gilbert.
Don't worry, Uncle Ben is here to help us out.
Don't forget his long ass pinky! That thing is just built for guitar!
@@digitalworms i believe it's longer than my index...
@@jeobarlomento9898 ya man same here! Everytime I watch his instruction videos some of the reaches he does blows my mind!
I took three private lessons from Paul before he was famous. Early 1980's Emulating him too much might cause unnecessary anxiety. His pinky is about as long as my index finger. He also seems to have alien biomechanics allowing his fingers to just move beyond the speed of light with perfect accuracy. Watching him play up close feels like entering an alternate reality.
Anyone can play like Paul Gilbert... You just need your hand to have the wing span of an albatross!

I shook his hand once, I swear his fingers touched my wrists 🤯 (I have regular size hands)
U dont need big hands at all. Hes not ever stretch in 99 percent of what he does.. guitars are built for normal people.. if big hands mattered at all u could simply play a smaller guitar.. slit of people think long fingers are a necessity.. nobodys doing alot of crazy reaching.

@@donniebrook9900 yeah I'm sorry. I didnt mean to be a damn douch bag.. I get what u mean. Sorry
Ben, wanna know just how good you and your channel is? I haven’t picked up a guitar in years with no intention of restarting. Yet I watch all of your episodes. And there you are.
I’m so glad to hear that!!!! Get that thing out and shred it again sometime!
On top of his killer playing, Paul also seems like a super cool and well-grounded dude. Thanks for the lesson!
Are you having "Technical Difficulties"?!?
Watchin uncle ben is like eating healthy and gettin a tasty snack. Nutritious knowledge, and tasty tunes.
Uncle Ben. Thank you... I applied your economy picking exercise to a major scale pattern I have been teaching my oldest son, and I found I do some upslant picking. Turned this into that sweet 4 note ascending scale pattern we all love but I could never do it before at metal speed. It’s been 22 years since I started playing. Awesome. 👏
Pauls solo on Zero Hour on Tafollas "Out of the Sun" album is stellar. Then again, most of his solos are :) Cool lesson man!
U rock Uncle Ben! Funny as shit, & love your lessons, thank u
Underrated album
All natural man made "hair gel". Thanks for making sure we get learnt. We appreciated it.
If you add water it makes its own sauce....
Troy's stuff is awesome, made me way more aware of what my picking hand is doing.
Met Paul Gilbert a few times many years ago when I was a student at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, and when I was a Luthier apprentice at Carruthers Guitars in Venice CA. Really nice guy.
Bless you Uncle Ben ! I've just discovered that I've been an ineffective "inside picker" for yrs; switching this to "outside picking" instantly improved my timing and attack... Thanks !!!
I have Paul's DVDs. His personality is a plus. Kind of teacher you want
This is a awesome technic to play lines fast with groove. It doesnt sounds as boring as just picking every note . Thank you for that Ben.
The end of Technical Difficulties is the ultimate example of that concept. Great job Ben
5, 7, 8 are three of my favourite notes. Great lesson!
I took some lessons from Paul Gilbert when I was a kid. Street Lethal was out but that was all. He mostly did alternate picking and swept the arpeggios. He was actually faster back then. He started to incorporate the hammer on picking combo later on. He also changed the way he holds his pick. He doesn't focus so much on shredding these days but still can as we all know.
@@robbrant9145 That video is slightly after judging by the guitar. He is around 20 years old there. He was playing the guitar they based that one on an Epiphone Coronet. Super lightweight. Then Ibanez built Paul that one and a green one for Bruce.
Uncle Ben the man with a great sense of humour and great teaching skills. Thanks Ben been watching you for years now and love all the quality content you provide!
I was stationed at Ft. Polk, LA. during 1987 and walked into a music store in Alexandria and some music was playing in the background. I asked the manager who that was playing ..Racer X Second Heat. Gone too far was my first attempt at a Paul Gilbert solo..excuse me Mr. Gilbert.
”No joyriding” 😂 I really liked that.
Yeeees, Paul Gilbert is a beast! Love absolutely all his stuff. Thanks for the video, brother
Great stuff Unca Ben... been taking lessons from Paul for 2 1/2 years...this lesson was instantly recognizable....and spot on man! Finally got to meet him this summer at a meet n greet. His show got cancelled, but his crew contacted all the VIP folks and they met us at his hotel suite for a 2 hour storytelling/playing show. Just a super swell cat that loves to tell stories, chat and play.
Ben Eller is a great instructor. I love the easy to understand discretion of each technique used that he demonstrates. Thanks Ben.
Always loved "Skit skat wah" Racer X or "Get out of my yard"- no other guitarist on the planet could make only 3 strings sound that mind blowing.
Step one: have a 7” pinky.
Why do people think u need freak hands.. if that was the case u could just play a smaller guitar.. they make little guitar s
@@johnadams2063 Fucking hell..some people think every comment on the internet is serious.
IT WAS A JOKE!!! That little South Korean girl could shred Govan when she was like 9 or something...so yeah, it's more about application and talent than physical limitations. Although my crooked pinky fingers present actual physical issues when playing...there are also advantages to them...
Awesome video thanks!
Ah, another lick in the Paul of Style Gilbert. Good stuff and good advice.
"Don't just drive around, have a destination, dagnabbit!" -- such an "Uncle" thing to say.
Paul Gilbert’s speed is so well show cased in Will My Screen Door Stop Neptune on Fuzz Universe!! Some wild stuff!!
He’s always been a favorite!
Would love for you to cover some of coroner, really great thrash band
You are such a great teacher. Dig your humble attitude and screamin' chops.
Uncle Ben your awesome
you are such a great teacher. I am leraning your lick right now
Great stuff, as usual, Uncle Ben. The pick end position, along with the muted rhythm demo, were my golden nuggets out of this one. Thanks a bunch!
Paul’s solo on the Neal Morse song “Momentum” is incredible.
Congrats on the new place!! Clearly the lessons haven’t suffered!!
Thanks again dude-great video👍
Heavens. This was actually useful in my attempts to pic up some speed. Thank you sir.
Thanks Uncle Ben, some good tips...
Ben... great video. Always a pleasure, never a chore to watch.
Always inspired to get back on the strings after watching these vidyas
Always excellent stuff to learn. Not a shredder bur still massively useful cheers.
Thanks for learning us uncle Ben!
WTf finally usefull example for pickslanting! Thank you ver much need moooore of this!
Thanks Uncle Ben!!!
Like the way you break down each step and say what is important that mindless babble I hear other guys over complicate. Great job man. Going to practice your techniques.
Great lesson. Thank you for this!
Loose plaster from the ceiling from either your shredding or neighbors on the floor above you stomping around like elephants! Thx for the cool lesson 🤘🏻
Eudaimonia Overture is my fav Gilbert song. The ending part is such a ride
Awesome job explaining this! You're a really great teacher. Keep it up man!
I use two way pick slanting which I see Paul do in “Intense Rock”. But his movements are so accurate and small it’s hard to notice unless you know what to look for. I’m trying to push past 16ths at 150bpm on the 3nps licks CLEANLY.
It’s funny that the more you relax the easier it is. Who knew how hard it was to relax as much as the pros?
Have you reached a faster speed cleanly?
Cool, I'm a decent player and reasonably comfortable with alt picking and hybrid picking (not mega fast) but this is something I've not tried so kudos for putting out something 'different'. definitely learnt something new to try tomorrow! Cheers.
This a phenominal speed tip! I had already experimented with 3 note per speed licks by alternate picking once or twice on a string then legato to repeat giving the picking hand time to move up or down to the next string,especially if you are skipping a string.It's easier to alternate pick up a scale than down and adding legato really helps!
between moving and other stuff you probably have going on, thanks for still throwing a vid-ya our way
I wish I had met you when I was a kid 40 years ago. But! Better late than never and I'd rather be a 55 year old shredder than to have never shredded at all. Peace Ben
Smart guy, great instructor, thank you!
Thanks uncle Ben 🙏
Thnx for the tips Ben. Always great to get knowledge from you
You are very knowledgeable and a great guitarist!
Great channel!🎸
In Richard Christy's voice... "Oh I love Paul Gilbert. He's my faaaaavorite."
Ive been waiting for this.
Ill Practice later on my Brand new E Guitar ibanez RG 550 in Purple Neon. 😊
Liked already.
I can not say this enough but thank you for all your great lessons Ben
Technical Difficulties call out is a great example. Good stuff Ben, keep up the great insights.
Thanks Ben you rock!
Great Trick the fact to use legatto before you change the string.
Ben thank you for taking time to teach. Undoubtedly you could be on a world tour with someone whenever you chose to do so. I would enjoy knowing more about your history and any recordings you have released, and tracks you may have done with people in the studio. I place you right in there with all the monster guitarists. And yes Troy Grady is a monster too!
Thanks for the guidance!
He also changed his way of holding the pick a few times during his career.
Today he uses lots more legato than in the past, i'd say late 80s he was mostly about alt-picking everything, then he mixed it up nicely for decades, while now his solo stuff is more focused on smooth legato playing.
I honestly miss his patented heavy, percussive, hyper alternate-picking, in my opinion PG's picking was and is the best, and i'd like to see him use it more today, but it seems he got bored of a certain sound and way of playing.
PG changed a lot in the last 9-10 years, it's nice to see musicians evolve and change, but like i said i miss his shredding and the power-pop's music he made for years in his solo records, and of course Racer X should get back togheter.
I really love the snap of his upstrokes when he changes strings, brings to life the alternate picked runs.
@@ianguest2011 Often his accented upstrokes catch more than one string (the unwanted note being muted) - this is particularly evident in the famous "PG lick" at the start of Intense Rock. The result sounds great in my opinion and is part of the "snap" you mentioned :)
I've been joking to my friends that maybe RUclips comments in style of GibsOffGuitr77: "No soul, too many notes per minute" got to mr. Gilbert and he decided to start implementing more blues licks into his playing, just faster than any of the "no-souls" could ever play to make a point :D
You should check Lost Societys Samy Elbannas playing.. He has an insane picking hand while soloing
That guy's picking seems to be very inspired by PG, excellent right-hand for sure. Another one is Takayoshi Ohmura.
Yngwie Malmsteen surely inspired a generation of players, like EVH did before him, but i always said that if there's a guy that really pushed alternate-picking and shredding more than anyone else, that was young Paul Gilbert with his instructionals.
Listen to guys like John Petrucci, Rusty Cooley or Andy James for example, they all give credit to those early instructionals for their shredding.
Pauls stated many times in videos, his most "bang for your buck licks" are a combo of both alt picking and legato. It's no secret.
Uncle Ben, you're a total badass! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
Great, great video bro!! congrats on the picking! Thank you so much fo the info
Paul's instructional video where he's using that pink Ibanez and has cheerleaders for some reason is my favorite guitar instructional video of all time.
Nice lesson Ben! Thanks!
Addicted To That Rush is a great song to learn. Paul is stellar in it
Interesting way of doing 3 note patterns, something new to practise. I've always struggled getting really fast alternate picking and often go for just legato. This seems like a nice middle ground of the two techniques. Thanks 🤘
Exactly my curse no matter how much I practiced. It sucks. But Lynch was my main influence so my legato is fluid. My pinky is He-Man,lol.
Grazie ! Chiaro ed efficace come al solito.
Excellent lesson!
Thanks for the great video. I noticed that when Paul gets above the 9th fret he stretches the 2 fret span with 3rd finger to 4th fingers instead of 2cnd and 4th fingers
Jeff Davis that’s true!
I love you uncle Ben!
Thanks Ben. My picking has improved immensely since using your techniques. I cant wait for covid to be gone and try it out.
Hammer Away (Racer X) and Zero Hour (Joey Tafolla)...pretty and brutal...!
Thanks🎉. Can't wait to try it out!
Well, everytime I try to practice that isolated picking thing, I end up playing Train of Consequences instead, so...
Troy Grady has helped change, for the better, the way I and a few of my friends play the guitar. He is a revelation. Very glad to hear you mention him on your own channel.
My absolute favorite lick Paul does isn't even a lick....it's that cool ass down the neck chromatic slide he does. Smooth af. Dude is a killer songwriter too..I'm a fan of his solo stuff over the rest.
Cool lesson like always Ben !
When I play this kind of licks, I play it differently. I pick the first 3 notes and hammer the 3 last notes.
Because for me it's easier to start the picking note with a down stroke.
Play 3 notes fast starting with a up stroke is hard.
French Thrasher yeah that’s a cool variation too!
Very nice. Thanks for the lesson!
Paul Gilbert such a ham.... Gota give him A+ for keeping it up!!!
Brilliant thx Uncle Ben
'Bliss' and 'Technical Difficulties' hands down. 🤟🪨
Thanks Ben, this was a great breakdown.
Thanks Uncle Ben...PG is my #1 guitar G-d. Loved the piece towards the end on isolating the picking technique only.
Very clear and easy to understand..Thanks uncle Ben
Very good material. Thanks a lot!
thanks Uncle ben
Thanks for the great lesson idol...
Awesome content again, Uncle Ben. Especially the hint to isolate the right hand is a game changer. Thanks a lot.
It looks like a small spattering of spackle fodder in your hair. I just wanted to say that I've never had someone breakdown picking in such a comprehensible and usable manner (at least for me). You're really helping an old dog learn new tricks. I sincerely appreciate it.Thank you
Very cool and helpful mr Ben , keep em coming
Your lessons are just great!
