    "This one's from a song called 'Colorado Bulldog', and it's obviously THE SCARIEST thing that you'll ever hear... I think the only reason that i can do it is because I'm the best player ever and nothing's difficult for me". That's what he really meant, but the guy's very humble

      Diego Pujol He's the best because he spent most of his life learning and practicing the guitar, and apart from most of us, he never gave up.
      And also he has stretchy fingers (after years of practicing too) xD

    Most important: never give up! Paul isn't showing a video like this to show off how he's good and has a incredible technique, but he wants to teach us how to improve and get better! That's what a good teacher does! He wants the best for his students. That's the reason Paul is one of my favorite guitar players, not because of his skill, but because of the amazing person he is!!!

    It took me almost three years (two years of frustration/8 months of pure patience)learning and perfecting the speed and tempo of this damn lick And my strat's frets are severely dented. But super happy i am the day the i played it correctly and that's the rewarding part.

    "If you're lucky, it'll come together. I'll give it a try, see how it sounds" Then he plays it perfectly. And then he does it again. Apparently Paul's 100% lucky. Unreal, Paul is a God.

    Its so clean. Every note is heard. Ive seen many videos where people showoff their ability on this song (intro), and the comments are all congrats, but if you listen really, its just heavy distortion, lots of reverb to cover the sloppiness. Paul is right up there with virtuosos of the world

    • @iganpparamarta8813
      @iganpparamarta8813 6 лет назад +1

    • @iganpparamarta8813
      @iganpparamarta8813 4 года назад

      The key is not to stretch it like Paul. Stretch just to reach the note. I’m 5’8 I can play this lick but a bit cheating, I alternate pick it instead of doing it like Paul.

  • @FilGee100
    @FilGee100 12 лет назад +2

    I agree you have to be positive & aim high.
    Start slowly, Learn your licks then slowly speed them up until you can do it perfectly at speed. It takes a lot of time but it's definatly worth it. It's all about teaching your hands to comfortably move into position (Muscle Memory) once you have this your half way there. I find it hard to learn new licks but persist & eventually it just happens.
    Practice Practice practice and determination.
    People always forget the determination part.

      Actually it is, even paul can't play it perfectly every time, if you watch his MI clinic (with the blue shirt), someone ask him to play colorado bulldog's intro, and even paul needs to practice before he can do it on the spot. That's show how difficult that riff.

  • @yngvaigilbsteen
    @yngvaigilbsteen 13 лет назад

    @TommyChong101 Also, you can't compare guitar and piano, in terms of stretches and reaches. They are two different instruments. On guitar, you either can make the reach, or you can't. Piano, you have a sustain pedal to help you make a JUMP (if you have smaller hands) and the note still sustains. The note dies instantly if you lift your finger off a note on the guitar. Anyone who's been playing for a while knows how to take shortcuts on the guitar (finger close to the edge of the fret etc)

  • @LeoKotzen92
    @LeoKotzen92 6 лет назад +3

    The descending picking pattern is actually up down-up-down, if you slow down the full speed version you can see that paul plays it that way, not down up-down-up as he says!! it's a lot easier to play using this picking pattern!

    • @iganpparamarta8813
      @iganpparamarta8813 6 лет назад

      Leonardo Casadidio if you didn’t mention it I’d surely miss it. At 03:02 he said up down up but right after that he actually picked it down up down like you said. Probably just a script mistake?

    @Vitaum010 Practice definitely helps, but some people are naturally gifted. Paul is one of the most naturally gifted players around. You're hands are either big with very long, tapered fingers...or they're not. No amount of practice can make up for a genetic advantage like that. Not to mention, everyone sounds different when they play. It's as identifiable as a human voice. In some cases, more. Practice can only make up for a fraction of that, as well.

  • @yngvaigilbsteen
    @yngvaigilbsteen 13 лет назад

    @TommyChong101 Point is, we're both saying the same thing. It's just easy to get caught up in wordage. I think we both can agree that being smart and efficient is very important and I'm sure you'll agree that, eventually....you are going to reach the limit of what someone can do, physically...on the guitar. Just like an athlete. Some people are definitely built more for sprinting rather than endurance, for example. Stretch licks...it definitely helps to have huge paws. : ) later. : )

    @TommyChong101 Just remember that we're not talking about musicality here.. We're talking about physical ability and sound as it relates to shred and Django wouldn't have been able to do some of the things that Paul does. The stretches and the reaches simply aren't there. That's true for most people. Those people with the huge hands and long tapered fingers definitely have an advantage and certainly a certain sound that you just can't get with limited reaches.

  • @metatronatra
    @metatronatra 16 лет назад

    I know what the Laney sounds like because I own one. I know he wasn't using Laney during the time this particular video was filmed, I was referring to the tone of his solo albums prior to his switch to Marshall. I agree his tone is mainly a result of his technique but there is a marked difference between the sound of Get Out of My Yard and SFADR; The Marshall Vintage Moderns he's now using have a more warm, classic sound, whereas I feel his tone when he used Laney had more attack and presence

Also about stretched licks, HE SAID he has been practicing this for yrs and thats before he saw or met Shawn Lane. Yes I have seen the video where he mentions shawn lane and plays some of his licks (tapping), he said about the fusion yes.I am talking about Paul's skill, this guy can play what he wants to and what he hears.

  • @trevskiw2008
    @trevskiw2008 15 лет назад

    how did he get wide stretch pentatonic ideas from a bass player?
    there is a video of Paul in a clinic talking about Shawn and that he is the scariest guitar player of all time.
    He said the ideas he got from Shawn were "a bunch of pentatonic ideas"
    Paul Jammed with Shawn a few times and he really helped Paul break into wider interval licks so there is no denying it when Gilbert said it himself.
    Shawn Lane said Paul could not handle fusion for too long without his brain exploding.

  • @unclestoney1
    @unclestoney1 16 лет назад

    No, no, no. That sound is the second position on the 5-way switch (split bridge plus middle single coil) with the volume knob way down. Very classic PG clean sound. With a high gain amp like a Laney (which he was using by this time), you get a glassy, trebly, twangy sound. Also, Paul's action is not as low as you might think. I got to play one of his guitars last year at a VIP session and the action was on the lower side of medium.

    Yes he is a jazz fusion kind of guy :) Pauls style fits me better than Shawns. What I meant was more Shawns shred solos which involved an inhuman speed with stretches that few people can even do, much less in the speed of Shawn. I do believe he was the fastest ever, despite all the unknown youtube guitarists that claim to be faster. You can simply tell by watching his videos, the twitching-like speed of his fingers.
    You're right though, all of these guitarists are amazing in their own ways :)
