HD - 2012 Guitar Geek Festival - Paul Gilbert Live! - Technical Difficulties - 2012-01-20

[MattheoTheGreat]

yeah in this video you can see the difference of shredding with technique and poser shredding.. blues/jazz players often criticize shredders as fast players without phrasing.. but paul is different from the others... paul has a technique in doing his style.. and also petrucci

[sytraxiplague]

Heh. Comfortably Numb solo backing.

[MuvoTX]

Holy F-ING EPIC!!!! I was tapping my foot so hard near the bed post I just woke up my wife from a dep sleep!!! LOL PAUL you are GOD!!! thanks so much for this gift!!

[gingerleyham]

1 person... just no

[Mattydilly]

He got way better, way more feeling and less super speed picking. Truly transformed his playing. I liked the song before but he plays it with so much more feel now. I have never seen someone leave that technical stuff behind and get emotional so late in their career.

[mparanoid1]

I wish he would continue this solo for like an hour... I could listen to it over and over again. It's so tasty.

[davidlow77]

You give Paul a song.. he plays it in any way... he is way creative... but the best part is Paul has always been honest with his playing... no cheating....

[sa7sul]

Not bad.

[Rickles]

... The level of technique is mind boggling.

[godlymoose]

There's always that douchebag who misclicks like or dislikes a video with a lot of likes.

[rabihz24]

3:32 almost cried on this part...You little.......

[tone19632]

Amazing! Wow

[MyCatLovesMetal]

loved the solo

[keptil]

Paul Gilbert is a cheater. He cheats in order to obtain his perfect playing. Don't fall for the lies, folks. He uses that "practice 24 hours a day" cheat code before every show.

[ShadowLancer128]

oh jesus shit.

One day he'll play it backwards. from the solo ending at E, all the way back to the beginning 5/8 drum beat.

[lastonejay]

I can only dream of building my guitar playing to his level.

[Nuppetion]

Omg this is soo amazing :' )

[MelanieMontanaxD]

Exellent :) C'est juste le Meilleur ! <3

[lastonejay]

@MelanieMontanaxD

sans aucun doute

[Vash101235]

salsa diffilculties lol

[hikshredd]

Paul looks like an "happier" Dr House

[jethroboot]

yeah ok,,,,,, speechless!

[xcamillexmarie]

Waouh Exellent :D

[xxxBrunoxxx777]

high-definition sound of the notes.......... impressive

[SuperSlovenianyoutub]

What an excellent sound for the excellent solo!!!

[TheVesselkyt]

Buckethead? hahahahaha

[NekoZombie1]

@TheVesselkyt OMFG… They are not at all the same… I am a huge fan of Buckethead but I can't deny that Paul is faster than him… They are both insanely great musicians… but to me I think Buck puts more emotion and feeling into his music rather than shredding…

[Aheavysmoker]

he somehow reminds me of bradley cooper here...

[Ninjaro]

Paul Gilbert is GOD!!! 

[domoredhorror1980]

paul gilbert note choices and timing define the electric guitar modern playing

[CobHatecrewNor]

Damn. i like this version of the solo alot better. shows even more of pauls musical abilities!

[brentmann]

Killer! Pauls got freakishly long fingers! His pinky is longer than 99% of most peoples index finger! lol!

[ducky811]

@brentmann That is soo true and unfair. I wish my hands were big and fingers long like Paul's, Steve Vai's and Jeff loomis's!!!

[asiat30]

ARGH !!!!

Woaouww !!!

I love this version.

Now, it's more techno but I love !!

[VadimBln]

I think Paul is really the best guitar player in the world! I saw thousands guitarists in my life and Paul is brilliant!

[MRNYCRISPY]

Serious guitar skills

[chuckyinges]

Amazing how Paul's technical ability never waive with time. In fact, he seems to get better as he ages, especially musically. Just my 2 cents. Cheers.

[roncoxmusic]

cute

[ashelcito]

Of course that i like :D

[gucal100]

чувак лабает!!!!!!!!!!

[scottpoley]

WOW!!!

[JamesWWinter]

What has he done!?! I'll tell what he did. He took an iconic instrumental and morphed it into a new direction. An ab-so-lute-ly AMAZING performance. The ode to Comfortably Numb was an excellent touch too. Paul Gilbert is one of the most innovative and creative guitarists in the world.

[lydiascott9]

@JamesWWinter The ode to Comfortably Numb? The song has always shared the same chord progression as Comforartly Numb in the middle.

[deusramon]

Paul... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

[thiagosds22]

If you can play this song with this much distortion, your picking is just fine!

[brando18guitarplyr]

Nice!, Nice!

[DawnJHW]

I'm totally knocked down!
