How many more people are going to tell that guy that he screams into the pickups? Holy fuck I think he finally gets it, he's only been told a thousand times.
"Faster than a speeding bullet" That's a big understatement. If I could move my fingers faster than Paul Gilbert, every girl in the world wouldn't need anymore pleasing!
so fuckin creative solos arent just about bustin out as fast as u can... its about how u feel that moment and using improv to show the audience something that u wish to expressive creatively....
@JACVA1 If I'm not mistaken, he is actually screaming into his pickups. I saw one vid where he explained that he was once given a left handed guitar on a live show with Steve Vai and other guys, and all of them had a chance to solo, so when his turn came, he started talking into his pickups pretending he was playing with his teeth, and came out perfectly !
@JACVA1 when guitars are at a high volume u can scream into the pickups and it will come through the amp rev a drill near ur guitar pickups and u will c wat i mean
@JACVA1 he screams onto the strings very close to the pickup, the voice soundwave "impresses" the strings enough to give them the timber of his own voice, while this isn't almost possible with clean sound, with distortion you can clearly hear that scream-like rageous effect. :-)
@JACVA1 high distortion my friend the pickups pickup so much sound that even his voice waves can be picked up by the pickups lol dimarzio pickups ftw ;)
Heas the deal. Pauls THE MAN. Huge props to PG. One of the best. Now then, for all that I KNOW that he can do (and he can do WAY more than what he did here) I just don't think that was a very a good solo. that's just me.
Such negativity......and half of them are people who dont even play guitar. Thank God, those of us who do know how, can appreciate a guitar player. Period.
@youngbito He's screaming into the pick-up on his guitar. I can't remember which, but he either yells into it directly, or holds it up to his throat and yells and the pickups catch the vibrations from his vocal chords
i don't understand why anyone's arguing... some guy says no one's heard of paul gilbert? LOL if you don't like him, fine. but anyone who knows anything about guitar knows DAMN well who paul gilbert is. and if you don't know anything about guitar, well, we don't care about you or your opinion anyways.
@UrSkulled: you can't be serious with the "he's written plenty of classic rock feel songs." can you name some for me so i can listen to them? which of his multiple songs made the top 10 lists?
look...my point and tone center around having some sort of objectivity when speaking about musicians. I actually LIKE Gilbert a lot, but for the right reasons. he's an athlete on the axe. he's no clapton, hendrix, page nor van halen. his phrasing is largely mechanical, and, boring.
I gotta agree with johnsone7777. This guy is technically fantastic, but he plays more like a machine than a musician. A good portion of that solo was nothing more than a bunch of arpeggio and scale exercises - stuff that should be reserved for the woodshed, not made into a feature part of the solo. There are technicians, and there are artists, and occasionally there are dudes like EV who are both. In short, this solo lacked creativity and artistry..... yawn!
most people don't even know who this guy is...because he's rather boring, and doesn't write songs that speak to the masses.
if you guys like him, great. if you're sensitive, great. if he's a great person, excellent for him and his friends/family.
at the end of the day, he's just a super dextrous guitar player. when he writes a classic song, i'll have the opinion that he is a soulful guitar player.
he's not known for his great influence in the music world. sorry if the truth hurts.
Paul Gilbert is one of the finest guitarist on the planet, as well as a wonder man. My brother used to play with him and he is a wonderful person, as well as one of the finest guitarists in the world.
@johnsone7777 I would certainly disagree with Paul being labelled boring. Emotions such as joy, excitement, fear, and wonderment are just as valid as what "soulful" musicians convey. If you don't get Paul, that's your choice. Personally, I find a lot of artists that are gods of "soul" to be extremely boring. Then again, I'm not trolling Eric Clapton (post Cream of course) videos commenting on how boring he is.
@johnsone7777 this isnt a song of his, its a live solo, its to wow these people. try listening to some of his actual songs before you say he has no soul, cuz honestly, i dont believe anyone can get as far as he has in the music industry without truly loving what they do. if you find it boring fine but to say he has no "soul" because you don't like it is quite insulting
He's much, much better now. This stuff (by Gilbert's standards) is very derivative and uninspired. Sounds (and looks like) like he's auditioning to be in 'Poison' !
God I hate that singer but I guess no really cares about the singer in any band containing Paul lol Might as well be the talking clock on vocals but i'd still go to the show. \m/
Paul Gilbert is ridiculously good, and from pretty much all I've seen of him he seems like a really nice guy (which earns kudos over ego maniacs like Ywngie or Batio). Another player up and coming you might want to check out is Muris Varajic, I think his skills just about put him in the same league as guys like Gilbert, Vai, or Satriani
